DESIGNER DRUGS + JESSE JAMZ

Jesse Jamz

As it turns out, JESSE JAMZ is an assistant to DESIGNER DRUGS, or so I read on twitter earlier today. I’m not exactly sure how that relationship works but his remix of “Drop Down” is diced quite nicely, leaving chunks to chew under the flash of a strobe.

ELITE FORCE: NEW SINGLE & MIXTAPE

Written by manalogue. Posted on July 7, 2010. Filed under bass, breaks, electro, epic, maximal, mixtapes, rave, remix, wobble. Tagged , , , , , , . 1 Comment.

Several months back now, Elite Force ran a little competition on his facebook page asking for suggestions on new tracks to Revamp, with the winner grabbing one of the top-end  ‘Revamped’ packages from the Elite Force site and the winning entry came from Ivano Knight who suggested Midnight Juggernauts’ ‘Tombstone’. Well, grab the result below.

The latest single from ELITE FORCE, a collection of three remixes for “Law of Life” is a must-have for anyone looking for something to stomp to. Elite Force himself sums it up best as “battleweapon electro techno filth gnarly bass monster.” I think he forgot breaks, but maybe that’s being redundant.

Grab it from beatport.

BOYS NOIZE + THE SEXINVADERS

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.

DRAKE + DWIGHT WHITE + HYPER CRUSH

Written by manalogue. Posted on April 26, 2010. Filed under cancon, club, electro, maximal, remix. Tagged , , . 4 Comments.

I have to admit, I don’t think I’ve heard the original DRAKE tune, but it doesn’t matter when there are bootlegs like these sent our way.

First, here’s a bootie remix from a local dj / promoter who has exploded in Winnipeg. RIC HARD has his finger in every party pie. The thing that makes this remix stand out is the piano that compliments the solitaire melancholic message in the track. It’s all juxtaposed with maximal punching bag of drums and synth targeting this is one both for the dancefloor and the bedroom.

MP3: Drake – Over (Ric Hard remixxx)

LA’s HYPER CRUSH take a slightly different approach. They take the sadness and smash it in the teeth with their dancefloor laser beams, transforming the tune into a sleazy electro banger. To top it off, they add their own rhymes.

Tex Taiwan
The kids want Electro-Punk! And that’s what they’ll get from new Belgian group TEX TAIWAN. In the footsteps of acts such as KAP BAMBINO & CRYSTAL CASTLES comes another sonic assault of scream-fuckery & synthtopia. An epic remix from YOU LOVE HER COZ SHE’S DEAD shows that thoughtful use of pitch correcting software can sometimes give a track that little extra sparkle. <3
The Album hits the shelves on June 21st care of GLASSTONE RECORDS.

I’ve been waiting and waiting for this! You shouldn’t wait any longer either. Grab the Re:Vamped compilation from ELITE FORCE now. You can get all 15 tracks from beatport for $12.99 (USD). That’s next to nothing considering the amount of wumph in these tunes that range from sleezy electro to wobbly breaks and dubstep.

NROTB aka (NEW RAVERS ON THE BLOCK)

Written by manalogue. Posted on February 8, 2010. Filed under cancon, electro, epic, maximal, rave, remix, robotdisco. Tagged , , , . 2 Comments.

It’s too bad NROTB weren’t called the New Ravers On The Blog, because, given the times the producer’s handle seems so appropriate.

The Montreal duo have been on top of things for a while, and I’ll be completely honest here, since “Droplet” and “Miam Miam” were let loose in the summer, I’ve been trigger happy with every track that has their name on it. There’s enough nostalgia in each of these tunes for a thirty-something-once-upon-a-time-raver (that’s me by the way) to, excuse me, fucking lose it. Add some of the best production of 2009 to the mix and well, it seems as though there are a million reasons to hail this release as the best ever. Really, ever.

Wait.

On Friday, February 5, 2010 the single got an official release on PLANT MUSIC with remixes from FELIX CARTAL and AUTOEROTIQUE. After hearing these mixes I went into immediate cardiac arrest. Basically, I died and somehow I’m living off of the single’s perpetual beat.

CHECK YR PULSE + JAMALL KNIGHT + BURBS

Written by manalogue. Posted on January 21, 2010. Filed under CHECK YR PULSE, THE SHAKE, bass, club, electro, house, indie, local shows, manalogue, maximal, rave, remix, robotdisco, stuff my wife would like, techno, wobble. Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , . No comments.

One of the reasons (honestly, there are many!) there have been fewer posts is because a mate and I started a weekly. (LOTEK and MANALOGUE have been tag-teaming as THE SHAKE for a few years now.) I feel as though I’m only putting in half the amount of time needed to get this night off the ground, but that’s all I can give at the moment considering other commitments that are a bit more pressing, paying the mortgage for example. If you’re wondering, blogging doesn’t really make any money, well I haven’t figured out exactly how to do it anyway. (Tips are welcome.)

Back to the post. This week I’m pumped to host JAMALL KNIGHT and BERBS. Winnipeg is saturated with djs, and I’d be hard pressed to find any jock in this city I like more than the former. Perhaps it’s because Jamall Knight plays like I/we do – which is a bit all over the place, and every time I’ve seen him behind the decks he consistently drifts to the likes of Proxy, and other noisy producers. Also, big thanks to our freshly minted vj, MRGHOSTY who gives everyone something interesting to look at when they’re dancing or not. This guy’s incredible. I’m totally looking forward to tomorrow!

Like every week though, I have no idea what I’ll lay down but perhaps it might include a schmorasborg like the one below.

This IS A Best Of Post

But not a very researched one. Actually, that’s a lie. For the last two months when I wasn’t bombarded with homework, I was trying to download EVERY ALBUM I MISSED LAST YEAR. The results? Don’t ever try to do that…
MODERAT
I have one fav. album from last year. MODERAT -- MODERAT (or would you write it MODERAT -- S/T?) on BPitch CONTROL from Germany. It’s got just the right amount of thump blended seamlessly amongst the sappy. I suggest the CD version over the vinyl because the vinyl doesn’t include BEATS WAY SICK featuring BUSDRIVER (On a side note, this years album JHELLI BEAM by BUSDRIVER didn’t quite do it for me). MODERAT are a collaboration between APPARAT & MODESELEKTOR.

The I wish all at the staff at MANALOGUE the best of luck in the New Year and to all the people out there behind the screen…keep listening.

Honourable Mentions:
Applescal -- A Slave’s Commitment [Traum Schallplatten]
The Field -- Yesterday & Today [Kompakt]
Kap Bambino -- Blacklist [Because Music]
Nathan Fake -- Hard Islands [Border Community]
Telefon Tel Aviv -- Immolate Yourself [BPitch Control]
Zombie Nation -- Zombielicious [UKW]

GTRONIC + STEREOHEROES + HOSTAGE

Written by manalogue. Posted on December 18, 2009. Filed under bass, epic, maximal, rave, remix. Tagged , , , . No comments.

I know I just posted the latest from GTRONIC a couple days ago, but since BMKLTSCH RCRDS just sent the whole package, including the original, HOSTAGE, and STEREOHEROES mixes, I figured you might as well get a proper download out of it, right? So here’s that monster remix from  and two more deadly stompers!

Do yourself a favour and grab the 320s.

As a bonus, perhaps an incentive, here’s one you might have heard before. Electro clichés aside, this one lives up to its name. Really, it’s a disservice to play any of these in a pair of cans. At the very least, plug into your hifi at home and turn it up; better yet burn them onto a cd and demand your favourite dj to play them.
