Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro, Reviews Comments

Feb 092015

Hell-o all and after a quiet last week as blogging turned out harder than we would have liked, we’re back to bass up your Monday and start the new week in a nice way. And we have some big new releases as well that came out last week, starting of course with Excision‘s “Codename X” album which released on Rottun Recordings a week ago. The Rottun and Dubstep big boss is back with 11 new tracks, some of which we’ve caught glimpses of or heard in full length before since they were released as singles and some unheard material. As for what you can expect by Excision in “Codename X”, ear pummeling Dubstep with megatons of bass and excess of power (of course) but that’s not all since the album comes with its fair share of Electro House, Glitch Hop and Drum & Bass/Drumstep tracks. Some on the heavier side and some on the more melodic, the collaborations on Excision‘s album aren’t missing either, with The Frim, Dion Timmer, Splitbreed, Messinian, Downlink, Space Laces and Pegboard Nerds appearing on “Codename X” and automatically making it a galaxy of bass music superstars. And if all of the above hasn’t convinced you about checking out Excision‘s album yet, just press play below and let your ears do their job. Continue reading »

The Prodigy – Nasty (Official Video)

Jan 302015

Wrapping things up with something you have seen and heard about already most likely, since it’s no big secret The Prodigy are back with a new album (out March 30), which to be fair we certainly hope it meets our expectations and lives up to its promotion campaign. Either way, the first signs and sounds we’ve heard from “The Day Is My Enemy” and of course the video of “Nasty” are definitely encouraging to say the least. Good old heavy and wild Electronic music with its fair share of rock’n’roll attitude and if that doesn’t sound like something you dig then you’re probably reading the wrong blog. As for “Nasty”, both the original mix and Spor remix (aka Feed Me) are already doing a great work whetting our appetite. As for the video of “Nasty”, let’s just say it takes things from “whetting our appetite” to making us rabid with it’s nice dark and very stylish animation. Check it out and of course mark the 30th of March on your calendars!

The Noisy Freaks & J.A.C.K. – We Are The Ones

Jan 302015

One day left before the weekend and so it’s time to get a bit funky (or a lot actually) and set the mood right for the weekend partying and festivities and we have the perfect track for that too. A newly published collaboration original between The Noisy Freaks and J.A.C.K which was supposed to be released on The Noisy Freaks “Straight Life” album but never made it on the release. Well, lucky for us since here’s “We Are The Ones” reworked and available as a free download and for all fans of the French Electro sound and scene this one is a must as it doesn’t get much better than this. And it’s safe to say these guys are definitely “the ones” who got the grooves for a great start in the weekend, now let’s see who’s got the moves!

Beef Theatre “Like This” EP

Reviews Comments

Jan 302015

Hell-o all and here we are ready to welcome the weekend that’s just around the corner, so let’s get big today and set the mood right right from the start, with Beef Theatre’s new EP “Like This”, out on Jet Set Trash a few days ago. 3 new original tracks from the German duo, one of them available as a free download too, who deliver some very high quality Electro House with their new EP. A bit too “housy” and more commercial at points, especially comparing to some of the duo’s past work but having said that “Like This” EP is also some of Beef Theatre‘s best work to date. Highlight of the EP, the main and opening track “Like This”, which is definitely some top class Electro House. Not only it takes the duo’s production standards to the next level but also keeps a perfect balance between bouncy, club friendly Electro House with an Acid touch and the harder side of Beef Theatre. A floorfiller by all means and a track/release you should totally check out, whether you like your Electro hard or not.

Flybug “Party Animal”

Reviews Comments

Jan 272015

Changing the mood and style with our second post of the day, since we are leaving the hard and dark Electro behind for some pretty nice Glitch Hop and Drum & Bass by Flybug and his latest single titled “Party Animal”. Released on Jet Set Trash a couple of days before the end of 2014 (December 29), “Party Animal” features once more the London (UK) based hip-hop trio Vice Versa on vocals and a remix by RoughMath, who transformed the Glitch Hop original mix into some super sick Drumstep. Nice production and lots of bass on both the original and remix and overall a pretty nice release which was definitely nice to see climbing to the Top 10 Beatport releases earlier this month. Check out “Party Animal” if you haven’t yet!
