Skyence
Diving into unknown space is Skyence, with his new “Cosmonaut EP” he breaks walls between glitch, breaks and dubbed out 2-step. The first track echoed arps and broken drums just capture the essence of space, keeps you guessing. Best bit is at 1.11 where the metronome is introduced and just messed around with, to sound...
Revilo
Just a nice quick one today, guys. Proper deep vibes here via Revilo, nice sprinkling of rnb vocals pitched-out and manipulated, sampled NASA space radio conversations on a bed of 2-steppy beats. It’s a brand new track, its a free download and its fucking good. Get into it. [Revilo - Far Reaching] Go holla at...
Crimson
Hey I’m Viers , I will be trying to do regular features. Now, I’ve know of Crimson for a long while now, always kept my left eye open on him. He has been crossing the boundaries somewhere between where dubstep left off, old 90’s 2-step and some deep dungeon sounds and massive reverbed percussion hits. Here...
Viers – Can’t U See
UKG producer Jordon Saxton aka Viers, previously featured on this blog awhile back, has a new track out and it’s fucking mint. Funky 2 step-y vibes with an uplifting feel, wonky basslines makin a comeback: [Viers - Can't U See] It seems like he’s been on a roll recently, with a coupla fresh new tracks...
Last Japan
This is the illest shit I have heard in a while. Marco Giuliani aka Last Japan has an upcoming release called Settle Down, with the title track feat Bobbie Gordon, coming out on 12″ and digitally on 19th September via Four40. Gorgeous vocals, a little bit of 8-bit and that nice warm bassline. Makes me...
Kastle – I Know
Seclusiasis is giving away this bangin track away from Kastle aka Barrett Richards previously known as B.Rich (co founder of the Party Like Us label with AC Slater). Pitch tweaked vocals, and purple synths over a garage R&B beat. [Kastle - I Kn0w]–>click to download This grimey badboy below is massive. One of my favorites:...
Flatmate
Flatmate is like WOW. These french dubstep / electronica producers are insanely deft at layering those basslines. Whether its the rough synth stabs or the tough, tight beats, they’re completely ON IT, if you know what I mean. Listening to this is like watching some kind of superb architecture unfolding infront of you – it’s...
Lokiboi – 505 Free EP Download
Lokiboi‘s back with some new garage / house freebies and a new video. 505 is a free ep currently being released via Russian imprint, Guerilla Records. Simple video with excellent use of geometry hahaha and and excellent soundtrack. Luv U‘s also on the ep, it’s not really a new song but it don’t matter. Not...
Lokiboi
Big tunes right here. Fellow Ukrainian blog friends The Wicked Bass has turned their attention to releasing records. Last December was the excellent Volta Cab ep. This time today, Lokiboi‘s Mind The Gap EP comes out. Lokiboi is 19 year old Vladimir Strabykin, originally from Moscow but now counts London as his second home, where...
Fantastic Mr. Fox
A new beautiful mix here from Manchester’s future garage wonderboy Fantastic Mr. Fox. It’s a mix that shows off his current record collection, featuring track from Jamie XX, Gold Panda (whom I’ve blogged here), Bjork, some of his own original tracks and more. I don’t have the full tracklisting because he likes to keep things...
Submerse
Cheshire based DJ/Producer Submerse strikes me as something completely unique from the current breed of future/garage revival DJs. Further digging around reveals that he has a love for J-pop (Japanese Pop) but not in a strange way – he’s managed to combine elements of J-pop, bass and garage into a totally new pioneering genre: J-Garage....
Jakes & Darqwan (Tectonic 39)
“Two big names share one plate for Tectonic as dark garage/2-Step legend Oris Jay, appearing here as Darqwan, goes face to face with Bristol don and HENCH head-honcho Jakes. Both tracks roll out hard with a no-compromise attitude and all the quality levels you can expect from the usual Tectonic output.” [Jakes - Time Ends]...
