Treats

New Tracks from a bunch of different people. Bassjackers, Zed's Dead and Swanky Tunes to name a few.  Let these tracks make you dance for the upcoming weekend!

Check it out by  Ferry Corsten, was already a good song. Bassjackers took this song and added their signature dirty dutch drop and then finished it with some hard hitting electro. Its a very mixable track coming from the duo.

Pierce Fulton is fairly new to the genre but his recent release titled "pardon my french" has been creating quite the stir in the electronic world. Combining some intreasting hard electro with some intreasting rifts here and there, untill finally creating this intreating drop at about the 4 minute mark.

Phantom by Swanky Tunes and Hard Rock Sofa has already been teasing us for awhile. This is your typicall big room house song, with phenominal basslines and a pounding drop. These guys are going to gain massive support from the bigs in House Music.

Bert on beats is a completely new artist to me. I just discovered him today surfing my soundcloud. This is a remix of Buraks Som Sistema's Hangover. Honestly its just crazy jungle style music. I love it. enjoy.

To finish off, Ive got Micah Vellian's mix. He is one 1/3 of Volta Bureau, which is a group based out of DC who are quickly making a name for themselves. He released a short one hour and fifteen minute mix playing some of his favorite deep house tunes, as well as some of his own productions. Look out for more stuff from him in the future. Take a listen to the Green Mix!

Lapalux & Zeds Dead

By now you should know my love for Brainfeeder Records knows no bounds. Lapalux is no exception. Hailing from Essex, this young man is the most recent producer to be signed to Brainfeeder. Fittingly, he matches their sound including all the usual suspects: muted beats, spaced out percussion, nonsensical voices, ethereal noises, and in general, highly experimental. A good comparison would be Shlohmo, who I posted about a while back. Lapalux's Many Faces Out of Focus came out earlier this year, as well as a host of awesome remixes. My immediate worry after listening to some of his material was "Isn't this more of the same for Brainfeeder?" However, after listening to Faces a few times I realized Lapalux rounds out the label, incorporating similar styles, and I think falling somewhere in between Flylo and Tokimonsta. And now that he is signed, I can't wait to see how he develops his style with his first official releases.

On a non-Brainfeeder note, Mad Decent's dubstep duo, Zeds Dead recently released a preview to their new EP, Rumble in the Jungle, out October 4. It goes hard, sounding like some underground shit or something you would hear at the Sunday School Grove tent at Electric Zoo. They also infuse some drum n' bass vibes and collaborate with Jamaican MC Mavado on the EP.

Why I someone hasn't thought of remixing this song before is beyond me (or maybe they have, but it sucked or I just didn't hear about it). So perfect for his style.

May the Partying Continue...

Over the weekend I was lucky enough to be in New York City at the same time as the annual, Mad Decent Block Party. The line-up was filled with big names like Claude VonStroke and The Hood Internet. Obviously VonStroke was amazing, but I was really impressed by some of the smaller acts. I wasn't really familiar with Zeds Dead, a Toronto-based duo that threw both the bros and b&t people into a frenzy with the dirtiest dub. They have very few official releases out there, but you'll find some of their best tracks below. Another act that impressed me was Gang Gang Dance, an experimental, synth-laden outfit based out of New York. The group actually got their start in our hometown, Washington D.C., over ten years ago. They released a new album, Eye Contact this year. I'll let the music do the rest.
