So, some mates and I are throwing our second swing party and it’s going down this Saturday. The first one (last November) was easily the most rammed, all-locals show I’ve seen and was definitely one of the best shows I’ve played, let alone partied at. We’re hoping the excitement continues, obviously.

You can grab the details in the poster above but if you need more check the facebook event here.

Roaring 2020s: electro swing, gypsy house, Balkan beats, Bulgarian basslines, breakbeat jive, presented by Memetic
With Nathan Zhan, Chris Komus, Lotek + Manalogue (The Shake)
$10 advance or $12 at the door
The Pyramid Cabaret
Doors open at 9:00

I plan on playing more mid-tempo bass, kinda like this:

Here’s a big tune from new-comer, ONLY BOOTS. The ethereal strings and keys contrast the glitchy bassline and a kick drum Ralph Macchio would be scared of. Check the stream below and grab the free download.

(…and here’s the unmastered SoundCloud link for the aggregators.)

ED SOLO + STICKYBUDS – SMOKE THE WEED / JOKER SMOKER

Posted on April 17, 2013Written by Manalogue Posted in bass, breaks, cancon, drum n bass, funky, glitch Tagged Ed Solo, South Rakkas Crew, Stickybuds Comments

EdSolo_Stickybuds_smoke

For their release on Jungle Cakes, ED SOLO teamed up with the maestro of all things funky, STICKYBUDS for a two-track EP for a blunt celebration of weed culture. Of course it comes out on 4/20.

First up “Smoke The Weed” combines super phat rolling basslines, ragga style stabs and atmospherics, and a wicked steppy break. The two join forces again for the second track, Joker Smoker, which is a sublime slice of funky, jazzy business. It’s all there, stompin’ beats, ragga/dub elements, big chunky bass, incredibly catchy horns and “Joker Smoker” vocals on the hook and they come together beautifully to produce an absolute winner of a tune all round.

Pre-order the EP on Juno.

Stickybuds is riding the Beatport glitch charts with SOUTH RAKKAS CREW too. Take a peek below.

As promised earlier, here’s a proper post for TIMOTHY WISDOM‘s Get Your Hands Up Remixes EP. It’s out on Bombastic Jam as a beatport exclusive.

The standout is obviously NYNFUS CORPORATION‘s remx of “Black n Tan” which takes the stomp from the original and smashes it. Not getting tired of this tune anytime soon.

If you’re after something a little more into the Ghetto Funk tradition, DJ AKA has you covered. Plus, there’s a dub of this remix too.

…and if you like that moombah vibe, THE SPANK! is your man. The EP includes a dub of this mix too, you know, sans vocals.

Kill_Paris_to_a_new_earth

Seriously stunned by the latest OWSLA release. KILL PARIS, offers three glitched-out nu disco originals and nine remixes of said originals from some of your favourite heavy hitters.

OWSLA have a few free downloads from the EP too. To be honest, GRIZ‘s remix is one of the standouts for the entire EP. Lucky for you it’s a free download.

GRAMATIK dials in the funk on this freebee, for a bass heavy workout.

Three of the tunes are offered as exclusives from OWSLA’s drip.fm service, which is well worth it, if you’re really into the label. For $12 per month, the NEST offers every OWLSA tune 24 hours before it’s officially released.

JOBOT – UNTIL TENDER

Posted on November 8, 2012Written by Manalogue Posted in bass, drum n bass, glitch, glitch hop Tagged jOBOT, Muti Music Comments

A super deluxe release from LA’s jOBOT has us shaking ourselves silly. The four-track EP, on Muti Music, spans tempos and genres, from chilled braindance to glitch hop to something bordering drum and bass. The release is loosely held together with a glitch theme and bass – it’s crunchy and sexy and melodic and it’ll get you moving.

The title track is the standout for me…but they’re all worth checking out. Peep them below and grab the 320s from beatport.
