Kroyclub – Metalectro

Review: aUtOdiDakT, Kroyclub, YOL, Trumpdisco “Team Bass ” EP

Jun 152016

Following some consecutive “fresh blood” posts and music by artists we only came accross recently for the first time, it’s finally time to get back to some old nasties and bass maestros. Besides, you know that when Mähtrasher Records regulars aUtOdiDakT, Kroyclub, YOL (Your Ol’ Lady) and Trumpdisco come together to form “Team Bass” good things are about to happen. Five collaboration originals by the four artists who once again delivered a monster bass Electro release, like one would expect by them but then again what were the odds they wouldn’t? For those long time fans of “Team Bass” you might get surprised by the inclusion of a Trap track as well on the release, although to give credits where due, it’s not the usual generic Trap and it still maintains the character and sound which defines the label and artists. Good stuff no doubt, especially when good heavy Electro is getting so hard to come by nowadays. And while Europe is cheering for their favorite football national teams these days we’ll stick to our own passion and cheer for our favorite team. Bring it home “Team Bass”! Continue reading »

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

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

May 132016

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: Kroyclub “Raw Rave 89” LP

Electro, Electronica, Reviews Comments

May 132015

For anyone following the “four to the floor” European (mainly) trash Electro sound should be familiar with Maehtrasher Records by now, which has been delivering their mix of heavy Electro and techno constantly over the last few years. And the latest release by the German label, out yesterday and coming by Kroyclub, is definitely a nice addition to the Maehtrasher catalogue. Including 17 originals, including a couple of collaborations with Australian artist Your Ol’ Lady and label boss aUtOdiDakT among them, the USA based youngste’s second album is what the title suggests with his raw and heavy bass Electro, plus an added extra pinch of Electronica and Hip-Hop to spice things up and keep it tasty. So, check out the album preview and happy (raw) raving! Continue reading »

Review: Your Ol’ Lady “Retrogade” LP

Electro, Electronica, Reviews Comments

Apr 232015

For all fans of the heavy/trashy Electro sounds as well as all those getting tired of the same (Dubstep/Drumstep) sound which so many artists go for nowadays we have some good news coming, since Your Ol’ Lady‘s debut album is now out on German label Mähtrasher Records. Those of you familiar with the Australlian artist or label should pretty much know what to expect and let us tell you that this is some fine, raw, bass-heavy Electro House. No surprise though since Your Ol’ Lady has been doing this exact thing for enough years already and “Retrogade” has to be some of his best work. 8 tracks, with a couple collaborations with label regular Kroyclub and Ivarr among them, which bring together all those sounds and styles you expect on Mähtrasher Records releases by combining the heavy bass Electro/Electronica sound with House or Techno elements spiced up with an extra pinch of “weird and crazy”, which Your Ol’ Lady has always been adding to his music anyway. European sound at its fullest and an album all fans of those styles should definitely check out. Continue reading »

aUtOdiDakT & Kroyclub “Gang Signs Remixes” EP

Reviews, Tunes Comments

Dec 112014

For those of you who tuned in to Metalectro yesterday (or who are simply subscribed to our YouTube channel) you already got a good taste of aUtOdiDakT & Kroyclub “Gang Signs Remixes” EP with the upload of the Polymorphic remix on the channel and even if you didn’t we are just about to rectify that. But except for the bass heavyweight Polymorphic remix “Gang Signs Remixes” is packing a heavy load since Haezer, Fukkk Offf, Your Ol’ Lady and the newcomers and ‘fresh blood’ (at least by Metalectro standards) Next Order have also contributed one remix each on the release and we really think there is no need for further explanations here as the artist names the remixer line up consists of should be more than enough to give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect. But even if it isn’t, here are the remixes themselves too so you can check them out anyway.
