After a much needed short break from blogging we’re back as of today and as expected when taking time off we have plenty of fresh new bassy electronic music coming since good music doesn’t wait. So time to catch up with what we’ve missed the last couple of weeks, starting with the release of the debut SBCR (Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo aka The Bloody Beetroots) EP released on Dim Mak a couple of weeks ago. 5 new original tracks, out of which 4 are collaborations with Razihel, Moon Bounce and Eliza Bee & His Majesty Andre plus “The Grid” which we have already posted and talked about before in a previous post. Overall a pretty enjoyable release and debut for the hard Electro scene legend Sir Bob, including tracks more reminiscent of The Bloody Beetroots older sound and some more “fresh” sounding ones and if anyhing he proves it doesn’t matter what name he’s releasing music under there is always a lot to look forward to in his new releases and sets the bar high right from the start for his SBCR project.

For those following Metalectro on a regular basis, you must (or should be aware) of an exclusive preview/work in proggress track we posted last week for an upcoming SBCR (Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo) & Haezer collaboration. For those who didn’t know SBCR will be the personal project of Sir Bob, while The Bloody Beetroots will remain a rock influenced electronic live act. The truth is that we weren’t able to get much info about this rumoured collaboration between the two when we got in touch with Haezer about it but almost immediately after that a SBCR track went online on Dim Mak‘s Soundcloud, from the upcoming “SBCR & Friends” Vol. 1 compilation which will be out on the 17th of March. The said compilation with feature six collaborations with Razihel, Moon Bounce and Eliza Bee & His Majesty Andre. And this only came to pretty much confirm that Vol.02 of “SBCR & Friends” is probably already in the works, with Haezer being one of the collaborators Sir Bob has personally hand picked. So, here’s the track that went public a few days ago from the upcoming Vol.01, titled “The Grid”, for those curious to get a taste. Continue reading »

Haezer + SBCRHell-o all and we have some incoming big news for you, accompanied by even bigger questionmarks, expectations and hopes that this video that surfaced on Sir Bob’s and Haezer’s social media is actually a work in progress which will sooner or later reach our eardrums as a finished track. The fact remains that this short clip of a collaboration between SBCR and Haezer went public recently, teasing the hell out of the fans of both artists and lovers of hard Electronic music in general. From our side we tried to talk with Haezer a bit and get some more info about it although we weren’t able to get anything solid since it’s too early to know (or disclose) any details. What we managed to get out of our short chat though is confirmation that this clip is an actual collaboration of a hybrid Electro – Techno track the two of them are working on together and we can only hope there is more to follow and eventually a full track. Excited with the idea? We most certainly are!

Time for some fresh blood and one more freebie next and a three-way Italian feature as the Italy based Berserk are remixing “Volevo Un Gatto Nero (You Promised Me)” a collaboration track between The Bloody Beetroots and Gigi Barocco, taken from The Bloody Beetroots new LP “Hide”. Certainly a nice remix focusing more on the hard hitting part of the original and taking it into a more Dubstep, even Complextro direction. This is the first time Berserk are featured here and the first and only track uploaded on the artist Soundcloud page. Personally i will be keeping my eye and ear on Berserk as judging by this remix i wouldn’t be surprised to hear some nice tracks coming by the him/her/them soon even though this remix is a bit too short to draw any safe conclusions as for what to expect. In any case check this one out, grab it and lets hope more nice tracks follow by Berserk soon!

Hell-o all, mid-week Metalectro session startng and as many of you are into Champions League probably we better make sure to make it a challenge and keep you focused on yours and our favorite music more than your TVs. So, having said that here’s today’s opening post and it’s the Champions League equivalent of hard electro as it’s about The Bloody Beetroots new LP “Hide”, out on Ultra Records. A lot could be said about this new release really as it certainly features tracks for every taste, ranging from Disco influenced tracks to Metal and Punk and pretty much anything one could imagine, as well as a number of collaborations with names you will know of either from their Electro Dubstep work or from their rock legend status. Personally even though i quite enjoyed the album, i think it might have been a bit overwhelming and intelligent at times, something that if you look at it as a dance album can be something negative but if you simply put genres aside it certainly shows great musicianship and creativity. Still, The Bloody Beetroots and Sir Bob showed that they haven’t forgotten their love for the hard electro sound and didn’t neglect to include a few bangers too on the LP, some of them made public as singles for some time already and some of them unheard. These were the Metalectro favorites (no big surprise here) and the ones to be blogged here so check the out below but you should definitely still go check out the full LP anyway!
