Recently I took a journey from my town of adelaide and travelled to melbourne where I had the pleasure of meeting up with young gun producer ‘Kraymer‘. After his massive release with Will Bailey’s Simma records which had support and tune spinning from the likes of Mightyfools, he now drops another monster couple of records with ‘Vicious Bitch’, the sister label to Vicious.
The EP drops with big remixes from Sick Nifty, Tigre Hoods, Will Bailey and Jay Robinson while spanning genre’s of drum step, moombahton, bass line and acid house. Now as if that wasn’t enough, the release is completed with a nice little techno tune which seems a form of experimentation from Kraymer’s signiture bass line sound.
Currently in the midst of moving cities to Sydney, the future looks bright for this Australian producer, so be sure to keep an eye on him!
Monstrous feel-good bass is in the house today courtesy of Italian “turbofunk” pushers, Reset! Check out the “turbofunk” version of their new track “Don’t Let the System Control You,” a grinding, fidgetty funk-out that aims to remind people to exercise their free will, or… stick it to the man… or something.
While you’re at it, it’d also behoove you to catch a few measures of another truly funky chune, Reset!’s collab with Birdee entitled “Blowin’ Up.” And I hope Reset! & Birdee do blow up because they’ve seriously got it goin’ on!
View and purchase music from Reset! on Beatport here.

Hijack is doing it right as usual. Today he brings us a brand new beat under the awesome Busta Rhymes sample he used previously in a collaboration with Santiago & Bushido. He titles the track “Pudding,” a potential obfuscation of the words in the sample (puttin’ it = pudding it), and uses a photo of Bill Cosby eating some kind of Jell-O pudding product as the artwork for the song. What more could we ask for?
A special treat are the pleasantly panned grinding gremlin sounds that enter at both 1:47 and 3:50.
Last Week my single ‘So Sweet’ was released with a wopping 10 remixes from a bunch of fresh talent providing styles of house and electro. Unfortunately due to a hick up, not all tracks released were mastered, but never fear….this actually works out better for you guys. Quality masters of the remixes by Jack Union royalty ‘Campbell‘ and rising star ‘Kunter:Bunt‘ have been now been provided for free download on their sound clouds.
I’d like to take a moment to speak with you about a musician who, surprisingly enough, has never been featured on CYV™ | CHW YR VTMNS before. Someone truly remarkable. A Swede-turned-Brit named Peo de Pitte who takes his beats with extra cream.
Fusing house, electro, breaks, and a trace of hip hop into unquestionable dancefloor gold, Peo has earnestly worked his way to clubland notoriety. He meticulously crafts tracks that could just as easily be heard in the DJ sets of heavy hitters like Benny Benassi and Laidback Luke as in the more underground world of fidget and breaks.
Peo puts a heavy focus on his mixdowns, which means when you hear that Peo sound on a festival-size system, you will be experiencing a top-of-the-line brain-vasion.
Please check out…
• Peo de Pitte’s new original, “Who Do You Love?” – which has been blasted across the blogosphere over the last few weeks. In this song a man’s voice confronts you with two very direct questions about your life. These questions quickly lose their urgency when Peo slaps you with a baby-powdered palm of wonk to the face.
• His Jay Robinson remix, a thumping peak-hour earthquake of a beat that could raise any nation’s security level to red.
• And his latest remix, uploaded a few days ago: Peo’s take on disco…
And of course I can’t leave out his two most well-known songs to date: “Burning Up” and his “Riverside” remix.
You’ll also want this melodic bass storm, which is one of the handful of free downloads posted on Peo de Pitte’s Soundcloud page.
Tomorrow CYV is lucky enough to host the godfather of digital DJin and the controllerism movement – Ean Golden – at our San Francisco monthly – Bangers & MASH. We’ve been working on this event for quite some time and its gonna be HUUGE !!
Ean’s accomplishments in the DJ industry are world renowned. He introduced the midi-fighter controller in 2009 with industry leading build quality and a ground-breaking mapping. Propelled by Ean’s mind-blowing live perfromances Midi-Fighter was an instant success. He followed up in 2010 with the Novation Dicer which is now the industry standard for digital vinyl djs. One year later Ean worked closely with Native Insturments to bring us a product that literally reinvented digital DJing. Traktor S4 is to digital DJin what the iPhone was to cellphones, hands down the most revolutionary thing to hit the DJ world in the past decade. Traktor S4 has gone on to be the number one selling all-in-one controller in a category it invented. Ean continues to bring us revolutionary product developments through his own djtechtools.com including revamped Midi-Fighter controllers, custom high visibility knobs, and a curated selection of dj accessories – only the best of the best.
His live performance uses a palette of custom controllers: various bass heavy genres are effortlessly blended together into a show that merges art and technology in a meaningful way. Part rock show, part controllerism performance and part dj journey, Ean really puts everything on line at every performance taking it far beyond a traditional dj.
