The four person Bay Area production force known as Helicopter Showdown
has earned the reputation in the underground bass music culture as “Wu
Tang” of Dubstep. These West coast bass monsters have been turning
heads and crashing parties worldwide with their unique blend of heavy
dubstep and melodic electro house. Having dominated the Bay Area bass
music scene over the past year, HS has
been called out of their homeland to perform and curate events all over
the country in cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Baltimore,
Denver, Philadelphia, Seattle, Houston, Detroit, and Las Vegas to name a
few. Supported by such highly respected artists as Rusko, Borgore, Mt.
Eden, Calvertron, Skism, Downlink, and Reid Speed amongst others, their
music is quickly being recognized everywhere from the most
distinguished UK dubstep pioneers to the smaller pockets of bassheads in
middle USA.
In the last year, after teaming up with close friend, collaborator, and UltraGore label mate/owner Sluggo, the HS crew smashed their way onto the Beatport charts with their debut release “The Wrestler” [Ultragore], followed by “Hostages” [Ultragore] and most recently “Holy Ghost” [Play Me] feat. MC Messinian. Recently HS has become even more of a household name in the Beatport Dubstep charts, planting themselves firm within the top 20 with their latest release “Drop It Again” with Calvertron off the “Flight or Fight EP” [Play Me]. They are currently finishing up their next Ultragore EP with Sluggo featuring the fresh vocal talents of Bryan Dallas and Young Aunde, and have a laundry list of collaborations in store that will make 2012 a marquee year for them.
Helicopter Showdown also stands out from the rest of the bass community due in part to their reputation for holding their fans in the highest regard, proving their love through their consistent efforts to give away FREE music; with highly acclaimed releases “Gucci Gucci (Helicopter Showdown & IB Remix)” [US Dubstep], “Waiting” with BoyKidCloud [Squitty Bubbler], “Dramatron” [Squitty Bubbler Most Popular 2011], “Beat Down” [Squitty Bubbler Most Popular January 2011] and the classic “Whistle Tips” with Point.blank [Dubsaw/Squitty Bubbler Most Popular October 2010] all given gratis to their hungry fanbase. HS even takes it one step farther, giving away free downloads of their signature sounds and production templates.
With their dedication to production, their fans, and taking their four person team onto the stage and turning any given party into a full blown event, keep a close eye on Helicopter Showdown as they bring the party from the West Coast underground to a city near you.
