Excision’s album dropped this month, and it’s as sick as you would expect. “X-Rated” affirms Excision’s range of expertise, unveiling his ability to make bouncy electro house tracks as opposed to dubstep and drum & bass.

The first electro house track on the album, “Ohhh Nooo,” is a “heaving 4×4 machination that sets the bassline glitches against a propulsive drum line.” Meanwhile, “Swerve,” featuring Downlink, boasts “a chugging bassline” that “jut[s] through the core of the track.”

Check out the entire release here!

One day, I made a friend on Soundcloud. His name was Jai Davu and he lived in Vancouver. It turned out his mixing was dope and his style was just what I wanted to hear. Check out this beautiful ensemble of “evil electro/fidget madness,” which includes one of my favorite pieces by our very own Rubberteeth!

Excerpt & interview via Resident Advisor.

Electro and beyond by way of Finland.

It seems as though any sound is up for grabs in Renaissance Man’s studio. The Finnish duo sampled spraycans on their 2009 debut through Dubsided; used scat singers and (synthesized) insects on Made to Play; and chopped-up religious chants via Sound Pellegrino. Their forthcoming album, The Renaissance Man Project, runs even further with this approach. Ticking clocks, ping-pong balls, fireworks and sitars are just a few of the overt sonic sources, although many of the tear-out inclinations of Downtown and Jaxxon’s previous releases have been scrubbed from the palette, leaving behind an air of experimentation and genre explorations.

The album might not be suffused with the kind of classic electro flavours present throughout RA.273, but that just serves to illustrate the breadth of Renaissance Man’s purview these days.

What have you been up to recently?

Finishing an album, making another album, enjoying the perks of global warming in Helsinki, preparing our first live show, making a video, writing a book.

How and where was the mix recorded?

Live on a Sunday morning on a rusty container ship hosting a 72-hour fetish party, sailing in the extra-legal international waters of the Baltic Sea. Or on Ableton Live in Ville’s flat in Berlin. One can believe either of the stories but the first-mentioned provides a better mental setting for its full appreciation.

Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?

It’s a concept-free representation of what we are playing out at the moment; a healthy dose of different styles, old and new.

Where are you at musically at the moment? There seems to a strong
(proper) electro current running through the mix.

True. Lately we have found ourselves digging, playing and rediscovering a lot of electro-ish stuff. Growing up in the Finnish electronic music scene one could not avoid the influence of artists such as Mr. Velcro Fastener, Mono Junk, ImatranVoima, Helsinki Bass Machine (who is, by the way, featuring under a different name on our upcoming album) and their likes. Not to speak of the DJ’ing of K-X-P’s KaukoLampi or the legendary Helsinki Turbo parties. So it’s in our blood but perhaps a bit more explicit than earlier.

What was behind your decision to leave Helsinki?

Well only half of RM (Ville) left Helsinki more permanently. It’s the usual story, being a music producer, moving to Berlin. Helsinki is a small city and Finland a small country relatively far away from the rest of the European “scene.” It still has great events (like Flow Festival) and a few nice clubs, but we find ourselves playing mainly elsewhere.

What are you up to next?

Touring both DJ’ing and with our live show. Ville is also working on a new musical project, Millennium, with City Slang artist Norman Palm and on a mysterious project called Madgermany with writer Ingo Niermann. Martti’s book Solution Finland: The Welfare Game will be out in the fall on Sternberg Press. We are also working on a literary compendium to the album with the London-based design collective Åbäke. And of course, new Renaissance Man material is already in the works.

Keith & Supabeatz are two italian producer/remixers that have been making big waves as of late gaining support from artists such as Laidback Luke, Crookers, Brodinski, Congorock, Shinichi Osawa, Bart B More, Fake Blood, Benny Benassi and many more.

Their first project together began in 2008 whereby they won the Franz Ferdinand’s remix contest for Domino Records followed by their first co-produced EP ‘Pluto’ which gained support from the likes of Congorock and Malente. Fast forward to 2011 and they’ve signed to Fatboy Slim’s Southern Fried Records, remixed for the Crookers, Mumdance and Tony Senghore as well as recently playing world renowned Social Club in Paris with Don Rimini.

Currently, the two are remixing for  Play Paul, Highbloo, Don Rimini, His Majesty Andre, Laidback Luke and Wizard Sleeve whilst their No Pressure EP (teaser) is due out in October.

Keep an eye on these two, they’ve really started to nail their jacked up style and have a big club sound that’ll work for the biggest of crowds. Personally they remind me of how exciting Jack Beats were in 2009/10.

Big Ups Keith & Supabeatz!
