Trying to catch up with all the music I missed during the last months that the blog was in hibernation is a time consuming task, let me tell you. Not to complain though since I am a music junkie anyway so sitting and listening to (new) music isn’t all that bad, especially when it’s good music (or the kind of music i like to be more precise).

And while I’m going to be taking it slower and only post about releases which have that something special worth talking about, the music that does actually make it on here should be “food for the soul” – only more groovy, powerful and generally speaking awesome in one way or the other. And Daniel Deluxe‘s “Corruptor” LP just happens to tick all of those boxes. Continue reading »

Review: Spor “Black Eyed” EP

Drum & Bass, Reviews Comments

May 162016

Straight out of the oven and right into your speakers, here comes Spor (Feed Me’s Drum N Bass alter ego) with some fresh tunage, out on his own imprint Sotto Voce Records last Friday. And what better to start your Monday and new week than some much needed energy boost to get you going after the weekend? Available through Bittorent (as well as on pretty much every other platform) “Black Eyed” comes with 5 original tracks, a couple of them being collaborations – one with Icicle & Linguistics and one featuring Phace. For those of you familiar with Spor‘s previous work you should already have a pretty good idea what to expect from his new EP, which is nothing else than some deep (and occassionaly dark) Drum N Bass/Neuro.

Weekend Bass #03 – Flesh & Blood (Friday 13th)

Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro, Electronica, Tunes Comments

Weekend is coming so here’s a playlist to get the party started. And being Friday the 13th too I thought i’d keep it bloody and heavy. We hope you enjoy the selection (incl. tracks by Lektrique, Kroyclub, XKore, Laforcah, Le Castle Vania, Owl Vision, Father, 501, The Glitch Mob, I Think I Broke Something , Christine and Neosignal). You can also check the playlist on Soundcloud (here) although some of the tracks are only available as previews so Spotify is recommended for the full versions.

As for those of you following the blog from the early days you might remember the regular monthly mixtape series we used to have, which will be probably be replaced by regular playlists. As for the reason why the mixtapes won’t be coming back but will be replaced by these playlists, first we feel it’s more directly beneficial for the artists themselves, second obviously it’s less time consuming to only have to make the right track selection instead of having to do a mixtape with it and finally with the stricter copyright infrigement policies that are in place on Soundcloud nowadays it seems more appropriate.

Review: Owl Vision “Downlord” LP

May 122016

It’s no big secret, at least to those who have been following the more “undergound” Electronic music scene(s), that the rise of the super-commercialised “EDM” machine the last few years has lead into a “stalemate” kind of situation for many fans and artists alike. On one hand artists who are striving to make a living doing the thing they love understandably might want to follow trends and tendencies, while on the other hand the majority of fans (hopefully not those reading this blog though) are simply “consuming” what’s been given to them, therefore creating a high demand for rapid fire productions with more often than not the focus shifting to the quantity of music rather than the quality (and I don’t mean the production quality/standards).

Review: Iso:R “Kimura” EP

Dubstep, Reviews Comments

Jul 162015

Staying on the heavy side with another Dubstep new release by one more artist who’s never been featured here before, so more fresh blood coming too because why not? So say hell-o to iso:R from Japan and his katana wielding Dubstep samurai that goes by the name “Kimura”. Out on Uplink Audio just a couple of days ago, “Kimura” EP is slashing its way through most other Dubstep releases we’ve heard lately and doesn’t go “hybrid”, trap or soft at any point. It’s all out war heavy Dubstep, with the Japanese artist also going in Metalectro mode by plugging in some guitars too for the EP closer “The Horror Show”. Definitely an EP we enjoyed a lot and we’re pretty sure you will too so turn the volume up, check “Kimura” out and get it here. Continue reading »
