Album Review: Surkin – USA

We don’t often get the chance to talk about Surkin, the young Frenchman pioneering a highly addictive electro sound. The wait is over, however, as his album USA dropped yesterday. Surkin exploded on to the scene almost 2 years ago with his infectious track, White Knight Two, which spread among the blogging community like a wildfire. After the collapse of [...]

Album Review: ZZT – Partys Over Earth

Finally, Partys Over Earth has arrived!   Reality aside, this is as mind-bending of a journey as I had hoped and expected it to be. ZZT, the Zombie Nation and Tiga collaboration, have really out done themselves with their debut album. Would it be too bold to dub it album of the year? I think not, at least in terms [...]

Play Me Records – Tim Ismag

It seems like every time I’m on the hunt for some new cuts, Play Me Records has exactly what I am looking for. Play Me is not stranger to the world of bass music, but only has only just gained a massive rise in popularity last year when Beatport awarded them the Best Dubstep Label of 2010 award. Since then, [...]

BNR068: SCNTST – Monday

Boys Noize Records has released yet another techno masterpiece. The German label is notorious for picking up some of the most forward thinking, young producers. With this release, SCNTST showcases an incredible grasp of the techno and indie dance landscape. The five track EP takes modern production to a unique level, and serves as somewhat of a model for the [...]

GROOVES #21

  I think I have a solid list of tracks today. I went digging for some artist I had never really heard of and these are the tracks I pulled out. Soul Minority’s Remix of “Fraco” has a great deep style to it that tastefully recreates the original. It’s a groove for sure. Further down the post Luciano Esse works [...]

Koan Sound – Funk Blaster

Hailing from Bristol, UK, bass music producer Koan Sound released his brand new EP Funk Blaster on OWSLA Records this monday. The EP contains three original cuts as well as a remix from Kill the Noise. The name of the EP really says it all. Koan Sound breaks it down super funky in these three tracks and adds his own [...]

Stop. Listen. Enjoy. #69

The Halloween weekend raged pretty hard. From San Diego to Seattle, there was massive fun to be had. Whether you were at the always impressive, HARD Haunted Mansion, in downtown LA, or in the Pacific Northwest, where Seattle’s steadily growing FreakNight festival attracted quite the numbers. Whatever it was, I’m sure it brought a large supply of Halloween fun and [...]

GROOVES # 20 ~Fire & Ice~

  Earlier last week Kaskade released his highly awaited “Fire & Ice” album! The album is full of awesome and unique collaborations that make the entire release an impressive work of art. I picked out a couple songs that enjoyed off the album to share. I am not particularly a huge progressive house fan so I chose tracks I thought [...]
