Ahhh, the gift of giving!
Well, I guess not technically "Giving"...
We here at Not Strictly Dubstep have some juicy goodies to give away to site members. What kind of goodies you may ask? Well, allow me to explain!
We've got a superb sound sample pack, worth $400 USD, which has been donated by loopmasters, This sample pack is a DUBSTEP sample pack, which includes (among others) Circuit Bent sounds, Heavy bass samples, and Old Movie vocal clips (all completely legal to use commercially). This sample pack is epic, and I personally am extremely jealous because I can't enter my own contests! :P
We also have a FULL LICENSED version of Fruityloops Studio Signature Bundle, which has been donated to us from our friends at Image-Line. This is a $300 value, and as we all know, a full production suite is an extremely powerful tool. I've been a fruityloops user for years, and know several other producers that use it, some of them are pretty big names that you all likely know.
So, in order to both raise activity on the site, and give everyone a challenge, we will be having a Raffle for the sound pack, and a Contest for the Fruityloops bundle!
How to partake, you ask?
Well, First off, if you haven't already, you need to log on and sign up for our site, www.notstrictlydubstep.com
sign up is free, and once you sign up you can start earning points. The NSD User points are how you get raffle tickets. Adversely, if you want to enter the raffle, but don't have enough points, or you just don't mind making a small donation to help future NSD productions, we will have tickets for sale for a small amount.
The contest, however, is to be determined. If you'd like to get in on a contest, and have an idea of something you think might be a fun challenge, hop on the forums and tell us what you think!
Also, Invite your friends to the site using the 'Invite' link on your user profile to earn some extra points!
Hope to see some activity on the forums, Contests will begin at the beginning of august, so start earning points now!
Biggups!

FALL INTO THE KAZM!Our first musical tale is one of an insane, mohawk wielding producer by the name of Kazm. We've got an interview with the man, as well as a couple freebie tracks. Kazm is an up and coming producer with a unique and HEAVY sound! Listening to his tracks can (and will) cause side effects such as Kidney Stones, Trouble Breathing, Blindness, Heart Palpitations, Sleep Killing, Erratic Dancing and the dreaded Anal Seepage!
Now, Having said that, Lets kick this shit off proper with the interview!
So, Kazm, Where do you live?
Swansea, Wales. Born and bred welshman motherfucker!
How old are you?
18 years old.
How long have you been producing?
Hmmm... probably coming up to two years since I first started, though it's been about 7/8 months since I started taking it seriously.
What software/hardware do you use for production?
Currently running FL Studio, with Albino for the majority of my synths, as well as a variety of other VSTs.
What is your favorite Genre of music?
I've gotta say Dubstep really haven't I? Haha. Although Dubstep is the genre I listen to most, I listen to almost anything really, ranging from heavy metal to orchestrations. The only thing I don't really like is indie rock and pop.
What musicians/bands are your five biggest musical influences?
Hmmm... well, the first time I ever heard dubstep was when some guy I met in a park played me Cockney Thug, and it blew my mind. So Rusko has to be in there (Fuck all of you who hate on him, he's a top notch producer, even though his new stuff ain't that good.) Borgore is another one, I love the way he mashes up different vibes in his tune (Again, fuck you haters :P) Flux Pavilion, for his insane production level and variety, Bratkilla for the sheer heaviness of his tunes And of course, I have to put Pendulum in here, if it wasn't for them, I probably wouldn't even be listening to electronic music. But then there's Reso... Spor... Aach, I can't keep it to 5! Haha.
What is your current favorite Song?
Ach, you can't ask me that! It's like telling me to pick one of my children... but I don't have any, so it's not anything like that. Probably Shekel - Tarantino at the moment, it's ace, check it out.
If you could spin a set with One other DJ of your choice, who would it be and why?
Oh man, it's gotta be JFB for his mad skilzzzzzz. Though he'd properly show me up.
If you were stuck on a deserted island, what two things would you want with you?
A laptop and an internet connection :P Failing that, a fucking powerful sound system and djing equipment.
Can you recommend a funny youtube video for us to watch?
Anything on AndrewShrock's channel. Not only is he hilarious, he's an amzing skater too. Check it out.
Out of these three adjectives, which do you prefer: "Nasty" "Grimey" "Filthy" ?
Probably Nasty, coz you can have a Nasty tune that is slow and relatively mellow, but it can also mean it's fast and brutal. It covers more ground that the other two :P
Finish this sentence: "Dubstep makes me..."
Jizz and shit at the same time with no warning.
What's the story behind your name, "Kazm"?
To be honest, it's not that interesting :P My real name is Kieran, and an internet alias I used to use (And still do, actually) was "Kiigazm". One day I just had a brainwave after having no luck thinking up a decent alias, and the idea to take a few letters out of "Kiigazm" hit me. Voila, Kazm.
What can we expect from you in terms of upcoming releases?
My second free LP "Epic Mohawk Vol 2: Enter The Deathhawk" should be finished soon, so that'll be a good 12-13 tunes for you all. For free, too :D. Plus, of course the "Insanity EP" coming out through good old NSD :)
Do you have anything particular you'd like to say to the readers?
Smoking is big and clever, always take candy from strangers, and don't even think about not sharing your heroin needles. That's just selfish.
Peace :D
There you have it folks! Some heart felt, real talk. I hope this has inspired you to do something awesome, even if that something is just saving money on heroin needles and at the same time, learning to share a little. Now for the fun stuff! Kazm has offered out a Free copy of his track "Cyber Terrorist" which you can download HERE
Also, Here's the self titled track from his upcoming "Insanity EP" which will be dropping soon!
Now, Having said that, Lets kick this shit off proper with the interview!
