KNIIFEPRRTY – NEW SINGLE

Written by Bonnaventure. Posted on June 22, 2010. Filed under 8-bit, bass, cancon, mashup, minimal. Tagged , , , , . No comments.


KNIIFEPRRTY was one of the first bands I blogged about for manalogue, so I was excited when they sent along their new single “STAY WILD” which they are selling via their Bandcamp page and can be previewed on soundcloud here:


Maybe drop a little coin for this if you dig it. Speaking of digging and being dug, my buddy and fellow Albertan KUMON PLAZA was recently featured on FORKCAST! Yeah boy! It feels like I know Drake or something… Go download the tune Final Boss, and check out this edit I did for an art opening mix CD of his tune Hans Kruger… Nothing too fancy, just shaving off 3 minutes to make it a little more of a pop-tune…

For all y’all wanting something with more kick to it, mr. BASSNECTAR sent over a MASSIVE ATTACK bootleg to enjoy the solstice by. I believe Bassnectar played this tune (or a version of it) when I saw him at Shambhala a few years back, but can’t say for sure due to my state of mind at the time…

BLAZE TRIPP

Written by Bonnaventure. Posted on June 11, 2010. Filed under rave, techno. Tagged , , , , . No comments.

SO this aussie just sent me an email and I thought to myself “I’m drunk and stoned, and not only is this email really easy to read, it is well thought out. I’m not sure I even need to hear the tune, I’m blogging this….”

Yes folks, we get so many bad emails every single day I am sure that it makes more than just myself cringe… it’s not the music, sometimes the music is amaaaaaaazing, it’s the emails that make me want to kill myself. Between poorly written promos, bad DJ names and blah blah blah, my already injured brain has trouble keeping up… I love you… but if you can be elegant, to the point, and send SOUNDCLOUD links, I would be much much much more inclined to check out your tunes.

BLAZE TRIPP is the aforementioned aussie and his remix of the Chemical Brothers is a real winner.

It’s everything I love about new and old rave, using a technology I enjoy.

THE BULGARIAN sent us a tidy bootleg of “Alpha Centauri” by NOISIA. It’s a bit of a banger soaked in the sweat of electro and dubstep. If you want the 320, click on the widget after the SoundCloud link.

Honestly, the theme tonight is completely coincidental. That last post was quite something, hey?

Here’s a heavy bootleg from THE SEXINVADERS who add their own maximal flavour to BOYS NOIZE.

ENTYCE + FUKKK OFFF

Entyce - In Da Club (Fukkk Offf remix)

Hazel, the feisty female rapper from Fukkk Offf’s ‘More Than Friends’, is back with ‘In Da Club’
under the shimmering guise of ENTYCE to make your ‘body move to the bass and the beat.’ This
time out it’s a straight non stop electro-disco workout courtesy of COCO MACHETE‘s own Fukkk
Offf on the remix. Driving directly at summer classic status this release is a nice twist and turn
away from the darker sounds of winter.

I was pretty pumped to see FUKKK OFFF on remix duty and was pleasantly surprised that the cut was more disco than banger with more club parts than I’m used to. It’s true. It’s a tune that should get the ladies swingin, which as any DJ would tell you, is the key ingredient to a successful night.

FREESTYLERS + PETE JORDAN + KOUNCIL HOUSE

Written by manalogue. Posted on June 8, 2010. Filed under breaks, dubstep, electro, remix. Tagged , , , . No comments.

Freestylers

Aston Harvey and Matt Cantor were both making different styles of music when they first met in London in the mid-90s. Uber-engineer Aston had been half of pioneering breakbeat hardcore act Blapps Posse, getting busy with cuts like ‘Buss’ It’ and ‘Don’t Hold Back’ before going on to work with Definition Of Sound, Rebel MC and DJ Rap. Matt Cantor, meanwhile, was recording with Andy Gardner from the Plump DJs as Cut ‘N’ Paste and Strike for the fledgling Freskanova label.

Discovering a mutual love of hip-hop and electro, Matt and Aston started making tracks together. The first record they sampled was old skool electro classic ‘Don’t Stop The Rock’ by Freestyle Express, and the resulting track ‘Drop The Boom’ on Scratch City Records launched them as THE FREESTYLERS – the non-genre-specific name with hip-hop connotations fit them like a glove.

Here are two remixes they’re giving away. The first is falls somewhere between dubstep and breaks. Making things a bit more complicated, they’ve thrown in a bit of a clubby vocal with throwbacks to their 90s roots.

MP3: Freestylers – This City (Kouncil House remix)

Some might call the second remix electro house, but there’s more to it than that. For example, there’s a bit of a reggae breakdown and the obvious rhymes, given the title.
