Premiere: Celldweller – Good L_ck (Yo_’re F_cked) (Hecq Remix)

Mar 132015

Celldweller‘s new album “End of an Empire – Chapter 03: Dreams” is out today via his own imprint FiXT and of course Metalectro couldn’t be missing from the party, so we joined in by getting an exclusive track premiere for all you cellmates. The album comes with 18 in total tracks (originals and remixes) with some more known artists like Combichrist and some lesser known ones remixing tracks for the album. We got our hands on the remix Hecq did on “Good L_ck (Yo_’re F_cked)” which is one of our favorite remixes out of Celldweller‘s new album. A heavy and more to the Electronic side remix, as some of the other remixes felt like moving a bit more to the rock direction, which combines Neuro basses and deep sound design with some characteristic Celldweller sounding parts in a lovely and somewhat weird way. Definitely a remix we enjoyed quite a bit, so check it out as well as the rest of the album here! Continue reading »

And because we just can’t have enough good new music today, we saved something special for the end, with this exclusive premiere of Hanuman Tribe‘s track “Skala”, available in free download for all those who enjoy their electronic music good, dark and loud. The Germany based duo has been saving this one for some time now as a very well kept secret since the track has never been published and has only been heard through some mixes, DJ sets, and of course at Hanuman Tribe live shows. A powerful and dark original track by the duo which brings together elements of Electro, Electronica and Techno and we guarantee you that if you have enjoyed Hanuman Tribe‘s previous work you are going to fall in love with this one in an instance. As for those who might have not heard of them before, nothing to worry about as this is the perfect introduction to their sound. Check it out, grab it and join the tribe! Continue reading »

Review: Beatbender “Elevate” LP

Electro, Electronica, Reviews Comments

Feb 232015

Continuing with some new music and a release we here on Metalectro were looking forward to for some time now, especially after the release of the official video for Beatbender‘s “Elevate”. But as of today the duo’s debult album “Elevate” is finally available through Jet Set Trash and let us tell you that it doesn’t fall short of any expectations one might have had from the video, lead singles or enthusiastic and boasting press release. “Elevate” LP comes with 10 originals that move between Electro, Techno and Electronica and having listened to the full release (a few time already) it definitely is an album of high quality and production standards. Dark, heavy, elegant and fresh are the words that come to mind to best describe Beatbender‘s album as a whole. From the first second of the opening and mysterious track, titled “The Strange Story Of Elisa Lam” (those of you familiar with the actual story of Elisa Lam will grasp its beauty on another level), to last one of the chilled Drum & Bass “Outro” this is both a great album and one you should definitely not miss!

Review: I Think I Broke Something “Face Lift” EP

Electro, Electronica, Reviews Comments

Feb 182015

A new release that really impressed us this week was I Think I Broke Something‘s new EP “Face Lift”. “Face Lift” might be just the 2nd official release of the live Electronic duo act from Finland but these guys have set very high standards since day one with their debut single “Superman Sabotage Clan” and they haven’t let us down yet, not for even a fraction of a moment. Out on Jet Set Trash a couple of days ago, ITIBS‘ new EP comes with three original tracks which are hard to place in any one specific (sub)genre since they combine a wide range elements from Indie to Electro and Punk to Breaks. What really matters though and is of the outmost importance with this emerging duo is their fresh ideas as they have their own style and character, something that is quite rare nowadays in the Electronic music world. And “Face Lift” EP comes to confirm that just on time as well with its changing moods from one track to the next. From lighter to dark and noisy Electro/Electronica and Punk-y aesthetics, these guys have it all. And if listening to “Face Lift” EP doesn’t convince you then there is nothing else we could possibly add that might. Continue reading »

Review: VA “We Are Friends” Vol.03

Electro, Electronica, Tunes Comments

Feb 172015

Hell-o all and it’s not very often that you will see us posting about mau5trap releases on this blog so in case you’re wondering whether we’re might be going “soft” we ensure you that isn’t the case but on the contrary it’s the specific release that features a couple of tracks by two artists you most likely know and love as much as we do that really caught our attention. The majority of the tracks on “We Are Friends” Vol.03 might not be down our alley to be honest but but we couldn’t ignore these two bright (or actually dark if we want to be more precise) exceptions by any means. One of them comes by an artist who has been a member of the mau5trap roster for a few months and is no other than Proxy, who has contributed with a heavy trasher titled “Oldboy” on the release and let us tell you, this is Proxy at his best (or very close at least). The second track we have picked from “We Are Friends” Vol.03 comes by Frenchman Neus, who too joins mau5trap and his new track is really something of a special treat. “Amanita” is the title of Neus‘s new track who’s going for some atmospheric and relaxed guitar driven Electronica. Quite a soundtrack feel to it and definitely great intro music for anything you do, even more to open today’s blogging session with. Here are both tracks so check them out! Continue reading »
