NAPT

Posted on Written by Posted in bass, breaks, remix, tech funk Tagged , , , , Comments

Bugger. Almost forgot to post these blazing tunes from NAPT. This is what happens when we receive over 100 submissions a day. This is the price of success. ha. Kidding.

NAPT doesn’t need much of an intro to these pages. They’re the creators and purveyors of n-funk which by my calculations is a mashing of a number of styles, most importantly though, breakbeat. Their latest for RED SUGAR RECORDS is a double single that slams basslines sideways. “King Jitter” is a grinding monster while “Treatise” pounds a battling b-boy break. You should grab both – they’re available on iTunes and beatport.

Posted on Written by Posted in acid, breaks, remix, tech funk Tagged , , , Comments

Up next we have another single from the label that gives more evidence that 2012 might be the year acid returns. (It seems like everyone’s doing it lately – right?) REBEL SKETCHY takes the amen break and smashes it with some atmospheric 303 tweakery.

Listen to the cuts below and grab the single on beatport. (There are some freebees below too!)

GROUND LEVEL + STYLUS REX + REFRACTURE

Posted on Written by Posted in electro Tagged , , Comments

Here is an ace techy breaks release from STYLUS REX via GROUND LEVEL.

Huge steppy drums & wicked techy bass hooks anchor down the trippy topline synths that constantly evolve and change throughout the track. With driving and changing drum patterns the tune builds into a warped machinegun bass lift off.

Stylus Rex – Rocks On Hope by groundlevel

A rising star in the breaks scene REFRACTURE takes the energy levels up a notch with his remix, fusing hands in the air breakdowns with some seriously filthy bass and driving beats.

LARCIER

Posted on Written by Posted in house, remix, tech house Tagged , Comments

Sometimes you gotta slow things down a bit. Here’s a brand new one from LARCIER courtesy of CRACKI RECORDS. They tell us they organize parties in abandoned factories, and from the sound of this release, I’d believe them.

I’d love to hear the Renart remix in a massive dark space.
