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...
HeavyFeet
Niiiiiiiicccccccccceeeee!! Heavyfeet from Manchester just dropped a couple of heavy tracks in my inbox guys, gotta put this one out quickly before it sets fire if you know what I’m sayin. These guys primarily do breaks but are not shy to garage, bashment or grime. As part of their 12 singles over 12 months project,...
Greg Churchill – Clown Punch (S.Roscoe Punch Your Milf Dubstep Remix)
Never heard of Greg Churchill prior to this. Those in New Zealand would probably know his stuff better. Dude’s got a new release out via Gung Ho called Clown Punch and fellow Kiwi, S. Roscoe’s done a pretty mean dubstep remix. I’m not really too keen on Greg’s sound, not because I dont like it,...
Plump DJs: Dirty Super Car – Get A Grip (Maximilian Remix)
Back to biznezz. Plump DJs just launched their own label thingy, Grand Hotel. Which is always a good thing coz it means more freedom and control with getting their shit out there. I got sent this track to me about a certain Dirty Super Car. Who dat? I don’t know. There’s nothin on myspace yet...
Specimen A
I like 80s hair bands. They’re classic. If there was ever a trend that needs coming back, its proper power-ballad hair-band stadium rock. I cannot imagine how awesome that’s gonna be. [Foreigner - Cold As Ice] Still, Specimen A aint hair metal. Hell, these guys do better at dubstep and breakbeat than they do at...
NAPT vs Miike Snow vs Passion Pit
I don’t really post mash-ups, because they’re usually nothing new. But this one’s quite interesting. NAPT from London pushing their n-funk sound out to the masses , with this Miike Snow + Passion Pit rework. What’s n-funk exactly? It’s breakbeat, electro and house in a blender. They’ve got a new single coming out towards the...
Isaac Himself
Ok, i have just spent a whole hour analysing this artist. I like acid. But only when the rolling 808 LFO moogs are layered over a subtle but insistent muffled techno beat. Isaac Himself does his acid in a pretty interesting way, fusing real acid jazz drumkits with funk. It’s not an easy concept. [Video:...
Ashes
Ashes is a dnb / dubstep producer outta Ottawa, Canada. He’s just dropped me a really nice email about this new mix he’s done and I’m like yeah, sure, I’ll check it. It’s a pretty solid and tight, funky dubstep remix of Marvin Gaye’s track, Heard It Through The Grapevine. I’m thinkin, this is actually...
The Rogue Element
Yes, you know The Rogue Element. That guy who created that breakbeat hit in 2008 with Sidewinder from the acclaimed album, Lumina. Ben Medcalf continues with his genre-crossing music journey as one half of Disco of Doom which we have featured heavily in this blog because we love them so. But while Disco of Doom...
Meat Katie
Londoner, Meat Katie‘s label Lot 49 is known for pushing the tech-funk sound: a mash-up of electro, hints of house, bits of breakbeat with a firmhold on techno.He’s got a new ep out entitled, The Tension taking that tech-funk sound to a whole new level with a diverse select of remixers (including Mateo Murphy, Flavio...
