SHUTTLE + CADENCE WEAPON

Written by manalogue. Posted on January 27, 2009. Filed under bass, dubstep, house, techno. Tagged , , . No comments.

Welcome to the brave new world of SHUTTLE. You may have come across his remix work as Etan but nothing can quite prepare you for where he’s ended up. Epic, retro-futuristic, with a calm centre offset by rib-loosening bass squelches, Tunnel is a fantastic calling card for this young producer, originally from Southern Maryland who, after stints in DC and Baltimore, made his musical home in Boston.

“Rotten Guts” shows that there’s even more going on here than you might have thought. Teaming up with CADENCE WEAPON, Shuttle produces a stuttering, beat over which Cadence drops lines.

MP3: Shuttle feat. Cadence Weapon – Rotten Guts

This track is part of his first EP Tunnel out on NINJA TUNE on March 16.

For more love, check out Shuttle’s latest mixtape – a journey that’s as deep in culture as it is in bass. Pay attention kids, this is how you should be doin’ it.

DJ BARLETTA + GINGY + TMDP

Written by manalogue. Posted on January 26, 2009. Filed under electro, house, remix. Tagged , , , . 2 Comments.

These four tunes have remained in high rotation here at Manalogue since BARLETTA‘s crew were nice enough to share them with me, which means in short, this post is long overdue. As half of the Torontonian duo MANSION, Barletta has been killing it with some deluxe remixes. Here are a few cuts from the the Bass Live E.P. released on YYZ RECORDS.

The previously unreleased track “El Mo” takes advantage of Barletta’s simple but oh-so-effective talent for the heavy heavy.

“Bass Live” is another number full of bass bin thunder.

Fellow Torontonian GINGY adds some maximal style grinding and noise.

TMX + BABY D + SONZ OF A LOOP DA LOOP ERA + VARGA ZSUZSA

Written by manalogue. Posted on January 23, 2009. Filed under house, rave, remix. Tagged , , , . No comments.

TMX has been killing it with his remixes. Last August I posted his rework of “Sing Hallelujah” and two-thirds of his lastest dancefloor monsters follow a similar path back to the future. Kissy Sell Out, Larry Tee, and Foamo clutched the bass-heavy edit of SONZ OF A LOOP DA LOOP ERA‘s “Far Out” and BUFFETLIBRE jocks picked up TMX’s remix of “Let Me Be Your Fantacy” by BABY D - another rave anthem from the early 90s. It’s so great hearing these classics modified and modernized.

The latest remix project for the Budapest-based dj and producer keeps the same bouncy bassline as the above numbers. The rework of countrymate VARGA ZSUZSA is so infectious.

THE COOL KIDS + CHEWY CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Written by manalogue. Posted on January 23, 2009. Filed under bass, club, electro, maximal, remix. Tagged , . No comments.

 

This one’s not fresh from the oven anymore but it’s still thick enough to gung up your mouth when you gnaw on these beats. Maybe it might be more accurate to the CCC crew something like Chewy Chocolate Pound Cake considering they’re consistent delivery of heaviness. This remix of THE COOL KIDS is no different.

TONE LOC + MOGUAI + PEACHES

Written by manalogue. Posted on January 22, 2009. Filed under manalogue. Tagged , , . 1 Comment.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since TONE-LOC‘s debut long player Loc-ed After Dark. To celebrate the milestone Delicious Vinyl are digitally re-releasing the album with six bonus tracks. This deluxe digital edition is the inaugural release in Delicious Vinyl’s DV20 campaign. Throughout 2009, DELICIOUS VINYL will re-release classic LPs from the label’s legendary catalog in bonus-packed digital download format. Stay tuned for DV20 versions of Young MC’s Stone Cold Rhymin’, Def Jef’s Soul Food, Masta Ace Incorporated’s SlaughtaHouse, The Brand New Heavies’ Heavy Rhyme Experience Vol. 1, and others.

It’s too bad the label isn’t releasing the album with this remix. The Peaches remix of “Wild Thing” was alright for a minute but this remix by MOGUAI kicks Peaches in the junk – mind you, I think she’d probably like that.

FARE SOLDI + SAINT PAULI + KEENHOUSE

Written by manalogue. Posted on January 22, 2009. Filed under electro, house, remix, stuff my wife would like. Tagged , , , . 2 Comments.

RIOTMAKER RECORDS are happy to present their latest. FARE SOLDI just dropped their new single “Survivor,” a tribute from the classic italodisco track by Mike Francis with remixes from SAINT PAULI and KEENHOUSE.

 

The album track is smooth like creamed honey and will sooth all that ails you. Spoon with milk, stir, smile.

To be expected, the remix from Keenhouse is just as smooth but mixed with a bit of ginseng for mild dancefloor spice.

Saint Pauli’s recipe adds some significant heat with three or four electro-mutated chili peppers.

SHADOW DANCER

Written by manalogue. Posted on January 22, 2009. Filed under bass, techno. Tagged , . 1 Comment.

 

Approached by BOISNOIZE RECORDS to release what became the Shadow Dancer EP in July 2007, they found their audience rapidly expanding thanks to the symphonic beats of club hits like “Soap” and “Cowbois” regularly appearing in the sets of Soulwax, Erol Alkan, 2 Many DJs, DJ Feadz, Adam Freeland and Busy P. SHADOW DANCER had emerged as a name to drop and a force to be reckoned with. They have subsequently remixed everyone from The Whip to Chromeo, and their tracks have featured on compilations including Bugged Out’s Suck My Deck, Digitalism’s Kitsune Tabloid, and Adam Freeland’s Two Hours To Jupiter.

The latest single is a mind altering and jittery exploration of bass and acute rhythms destined for large soundsystems. Bring on the bruises.

THE WHITEST BOY ALIVE

Written by manalogue. Posted on January 21, 2009. Filed under stuff my wife would like. Tagged , , , . 1 Comment.

This is a bit of a side step from the usual electro sleaze but still good, so good actaually. Plus, I think my son will like it - even though he’s only two months old he’s already developed a refined taste for music. My wife and I regularly use ERLEND OYE‘s mix for DJ KICKS as a defence against our infant’s crying.

THE WHITEST BOY ALIVE will return in 2009 with their next album Rules, released on their own label BUBBLES in March. The first single is light as, well, bubbles, floating on Erlend’s hanging vocal delivery.

AUDION + MARY VELO

Written by manalogue. Posted on January 20, 2009. Filed under remix, techno. Tagged , . No comments.

Last night Lotek and I were chatting about our love for purist techno. Coincidentally MARY VELO sent this gem the very next day. It harkens back to the days of dim warehouses and German mechanical precision.
