Speaking about good sounding track here’s a new original by Autopunk featuring Mak Others on vocals that will take you a few years back to the good hard Electro days and the big bass sexy sounding collaborations of Haezer with Circe. At least that’s what came to mind when listening to this Autopunk & Mak Others track which definitely encapsulates all those great things we got to love during the golden hard Electro days and pushes even further by adding a much more polished yet powerful and contemporary sound. Boost, energy and groove are three of the things you can expect in “We Own The Night” and a great combination of heavy but not over-distorted pumping bassline which matches perfectly the great vocals by Mak Others. Definitely one of the best works we have heard from Autopunk up to date and a also a great introduction of Mak Others too and a track which leaves us hungry for more. We will be keeping our Metalectro eye on these two and hope to listen to more like this, whether on another collaboration or in individual projects. In the meawhile enjoy this very nice track!

Hell-o all and a great week to all! Monday is upon again and so we are back in bass duty so get your seatbelts fastened and get ready for take off as we have plenty of awesomeness coming once again today, with a few new basstastic sounds and releases. As for our opening post for today we have a new release that undoubtedly was highly anticipated from hard electro fans and electro punks out there, as is usually the case with any new Cyberpunkers release. The “Shock” Remixes EP that was announced a while ago was finally released on Freakz Me Out with an impressive number and line up of remixes. 8 in total by some more well known artists and some lesser known ones. Skylab, Bad Catholics, PRO7 & Phil SK, Alvino, Hypomaniacs, Belzebass, Haezer and N4C are the 8 remixers who in addition to a couple of video edits of “Shock” and “Blow” complete the line up of this remixes EP. The variety isn’t missing from the release as the range of styles goes from Electro Punk to Dubstep and even Big Room even though none of the remixes convinced us, especially considering the names involved and expectations one would have from a Cyberpunkers remixes EP. PRO7 & Phil SK, Hypomaniacs and Belzebass are the 3 remixers who struggle to save a very promising and anticipated release which has totally failed to deliver the energy, quality or results and ovreall feels a bit overloaded with unneccessary remixes that aren’t to the standard one would expect. Still, don’t let our disappointment and not met high expectations put you off by any means and check the tracks out for yourselves.

Sticking to the bass heavy pumping electro and another new release, by a name that has not only been around for a while but also is proving once again that he is totally incapable of disappointing with his tracks. South Africa’s Haezer is back with a new EP titled “Gold Plated Frequencies”, out on Tasty Records and he shows why he has been called the king of raw thrashing Electro bass so many times throughout his carreer. “Gold Plated Frequencies” comes with 5 originals and is exactly what is expected by Haezer. A perfectly balanced Electro EP that combines power and punchy basslines with huge buildups and even bigger drops. The classic older Haezer sound has been given a new refreshing touch as well but that’s nothing to worry about as “Gold Plated Frequencies” is Haezer 100%, is mighty and is a release all bass addicts should have already checked out.

I´ll go on with the full preview of one of the tracks on Haezer´s upcoming new EP that is going to be released on Tasty Records the 2nd of December! Five originals will altogether be featured on this EP named “Gold Plated Frequencies”, some of them are already available as previews on the South African´s Soundcloud account, but as far i´m not completely mistaken this track named “Minted” is the only one next to “Shango” that is available in full length yet. But however that be, “Minted” is definitely a track that will whet your appetite for the release as it sounds like a Haezer track is supposed to imo and i assume to get to hear all tracks in full length soon anyway, so for the time being content yourselves with this one and check it out!!!

Hell-o all and our apologies for what turned out a very silent week in terms of blogging on our behalf, as one half of Metalectro (lady Hellectro) has been striken down by illness and has to stay off bass duty, while the other half (myself) was too busy with trying to improve a few technical things on the site that will help make everything run smoother and better hopefully. In any case, we are back today to close the week in a loud fashion and get the weekend party on and for starters we have a bit of a special on the menu. Most of you should be aware of the release of South Central‘s “Hollywood” Remixes EP by now, out on Dim Mak a couple of weeks ago featuring remixes by Angger Dimas, Bar9, Chris Avantgarde, Haezer and Sawgood. What you might not be aware though is that there were 3 more remixes by The Dirty Papy, TAI and a 2nd remix by Sawgood that never made it on the actual release. So they are all given as freebies and we thought of putting all 8 (official and free) full length remixes in one big full of bass post would be a nice opening post for this Friday! What do you think?
