Andru Pozzatron’s ‘Get On Up’ is a funk-infused house track with chopped filtered vocals cascading over a backdrop of fidget beats and a hard-edged synth lead; we love the drop and build in this track and judging by the feedback, so do our listeners! Check it out.
About the remixes:
To complement ‘Get On Up’ we got in a bunch of remixers that would put a different spin on the original. Oh My! had already impressed us with a string of bootlegs and taking second place on the release he strips back the original and gives us some beautiful cut up fidget with clean crisp beats and a bass that makes us keep on playing this one. Coming in next is Carbon Parlour’s ‘Everybody Up Rerub.’ We wanted electro and she delivered us a bomb for the dance floor — this builds into a drop with a bass line the crowds will love. Schenk then takes us on a journey and turns the sound upsid- down with what we can only describe as a “cool street life fidget remix.” Anyone who is familiar with Schenk’s vast catalogue of releases will know his productions are pure quality; you have to hear this this one. Finally, we mentioned diversity, and Footjam delivered with the final mix. He puts in an immense amount of time and effort into his tracks and continues to surprise us with his unique sounds, so expect some heavy synths and mind-bending percussion in this remix.
The above copy was all written by the label — so I’m not honkin’ the hype-horn on myself here. Very excited to bring you this release, as it’s my first label release, as well as the gateway into my music being distributed on Beatport, iTunes, Juno & more. Get down on this Beatport button and support Bone Idle Records and the amazing artists I get to sit beside! Oh, and one more thing — I made the EP art too. If you like what you see, holler at MadeService™ for your design needs!
Sketch Records, a personal favorite, hits the double digits with this release. So big round of applause to them London boys for doin’ such big thangs. Geoff K & 3D Criminalz on remix duty? Mmm..
This is a monster of a release, showcasing a genre-crossing medley of tunage from Scott Harris, 3D Criminalz, Geoff K & Tone Idle. Click clack on the beatport link and get ta’ buyin!
Aniki’s “Superfly” brings together so many disparate feelings into such a pristinely textured, whomping banger, I can just hardly believe my ears! That synth bend at the beginning of each measure puts this beat on the map, but it’s the minimal percussion that really sells it. Aniki came up on some world renown through a remix contest not too long ago, and after chugging away at one masterpiece after the next, this “Superfly” remix may be his greatest work yet, despite the fact that it’s somehow listed as “Indie Dance / Nu Disco” on Beatport. Hah, yeah right… This is straight up House, baby.
A bit darker, but some seriously kickin’ stuff here. “Evolution” is at least partially about the evolution of Dylan’s productions. More techy than most of his previous releases, “Evolution” keeps in line with the Holshausen style (hear the FX sweeps?) while exploring a markedly different sound.
Dug up quite the interesting track from Wongo the other day. Not his normal stuff here. It’s kind of deep, kind of dark, and very techno — all spruced up with a bit of fidget. I recognize samples from a cash register and those are just a couple of the many sounds that bounce their way throughout this track. Very awesome stuff!
Oliver Leigh smashed it on this next one. I love this kid’s percussion, and it goes without saying that he knows how to twist up a proper wobble. Furthermore, the stabbed out vocals are prime. Call up Captain Jack and get ready to jerk that body harder than Jamaican-cooked chicken! Woooo-weeeee! [Not entirely sure if this is an original or a remix? It came across with him as the artist and remixer.. ]
Biggun from the Mass Brothers up last to round out this post. I believe they’re from somewhere in southern California. Thanks to Jay Fidget for showing me the way on these dudes. Get ready for booming sidechain bass, dutch bloopers, and chop-o-matic vocals about “dem Nikes.” Really enjoying the melding of dutch sounds and big bass (like the recently posted tune from Bass N Whomps).
It has certainly been awhile since I’ve made a post, so get ready for one of those deals where I just combine what should essentially be 7-8 different posts in to one mega post. Been workin’ a lot and “hittin’ the studio” as of late, so I’ve been a bit lazy on the blog side of things. Oops!
First up is Fukkk Offf’s latest tunes from his WorldWide EP (and it has top-notch artwork too). First is a big-room electro choon with some definite techno influences. And the second is an electro-zapped shorty beat slung up with hot rhymes from sassy MC, Hazel. Git git git down!
This month at The Slump! its all about DJ controllers. Its not about the 1′s and 2′s anymore – its about *Dual* VCI-100s, Traktor S4′s, and even an iPhone. Ok so you think you know what goes on behind the booth, now take that image crush it, crunch it, rip it, and toss it into the can cus were raising the bar – Live Mashups, all 4 faders up, Cue Juggling, Wind ups, Looping, Chopping, 8-bit crushing, tag teamin, and REWINDS !!
One of my favorite groups, Simian Mobile Disco, just released a single from their forthcoming album. The song is called “Aspic” after the food of the same name. Unlike the dish, this track is delicious!
