Interesting new mixtape coming from the new found Bromance family/label. No future techno sounding riffs this time, but a mix of house and 90′s hip-hop by L.A. based duo Pipes. The mixtape features track from own production to get promo going for an upcoming ep, keep your eyes open for that one if you’re digging this mixtape.
If we’re a bit honest we all know Sound of Stereo was kind of getting lost in the shadow of Mumbai Science who took to spot among popular artist of the Lektroluv crew in no time. But of course we haven’t forgot this amazing duo who kinda turned things upside down in the belgian dance scene some time ago. And they are now back with a brand new EP coming the 20th Februari on Lektroluv records. The EP is called Volt EP and features two originals and two remixes. We see SCNTST pop-up again (this kid is everywhere nowadays!) and newcomer (at least for my knowledge) Transistorcake who is delevering the most interesting track on the EP by my opinion. Another EP to look forward to.
So with the “back to basic” layout we also introduced music submission by our little form right here. We already got some first responses from our readers and if we get a nice amount of submissions on a regular base I’ll try putting them together in posts like these (see it like a new series). Unfortunately we can’t post all tracks we get, we only pick our absolute favourites, so if your track didn’t get picked, don’t give up and keep ‘em coming in the future!
In this first batch we have a new disco-club tainted track by Slim Fit, a cool bootleg with funky lyrics but with some nasty dubstep drops by Positive Vibr8ions and a more dark remix of Dada Life’s Happy Life by Jingizu.

Big, big, big up to Fuzz-mag for pulling this one of again. The website fuzz-mag.be is coming with another compilation this time featuring some of the best dubstep and drum&bass exclusively from Belgium. With the title being “The Dark Edition” I feared to hear a lot of skrillex-like grim sounding stuff, but to my surprise the tunes represent a much bigger quality with a lot of deep, but not ear-upfucking, tracks. Respect to the fuzz-mag crew, keep them coming. Stream the complete compilation below, our use the next download link:
Big fan of the Brodinski remix, but here is the official clip for the original track. Typical Justice video
Some of you have probably already seen the footage from Holy Ship where some of the bigger dj’s on the globe are getting it down on the new Kill Frenzy track: “Booty Clap”. In case you missed it, check it here! Booty Clap is part from a two part compilation by the San Francisco based label “Dirtybird“. Part one was released at the start of the new year and part two (including Booty Clap) and three will follow the 25th of january. Have a listen to the complete Booty Clap track below and I also added my favourite from part one: A1 Bassline – Why Do You.
No introduction for this guy any more. This guy is dropping one killer remix after the other without doing in on the quality. Already teased some of his latest edits on our facebook page, but here are two of them as a free download. Also added two of his recent mixtapes. For our Belgian readers, I think there are still tickets available for MODFEST, Hasselt were SCNTST will be playing, don’t hesitate, good stuff!

Someone Special by SCNTST
So Untitled! has launched a brand new record label called Level.01 Recordings (referring to the smaller room at the famous Untitled!-parties). The label is said to be focusing on ‘all good things bass’. Well that can’t be too bad, no? The first release is one of up-and-comer Daily, whose productions I’ve been following for a while now. I could really hear him grow with every new track he delivered, now finally resulting in his debut EP. A great remix by Voltron is included as well. The artwork was done by Beatcave.
Kick Some EP (Level.01 Recordings) by DAILY!
Talking about Beatcave, I noticed they had their first event coming up, appropriately titled ‘BEATCAVE‘. The line up holds some of the freshest Belgian talent, featuring upcoming producer Locked Groove, Daily, Jonas Lion (check out his latest, rather laid back mixtape here) and 1901.
Details about the event are here.
If you haven’t heard of Locked Groove yet, let me introduce him to you. This Belgian fellow named Tim Van de Meutter just got his debut 12″ called “Rooted EP” signed and released on Hotflush Recordings.

In a short period of time, Locked Groove received a lot of support, which didn’t leave the almighty TURBO Recordings unnoticed. A release can be expected around the end of spring. A couple of days ago Mixmag uploaded a mix by Thomas Von Party, featuring some of the unreleased tracks that TURBO has up its sleeve. Apparently the new Lock Groove-track can be heard at 20:11. I have to say it sounds big! Check it out!

First time I’m doing this, but I love this project so much that I have to be straight forward to some of the blog fans and regular visitors. I started this website as a small lame blog in 2008 and slowly the blog grew in size, quality and popularity. I tried to get content as fresh as possible and to re-invent the website all the time, new layouts were created, some more functionality and so on. I wanted the blog to grow out to be a community. But …
With all these plans and ideas I kind of lost time and track of why I started this website in the first place: share my love of music. I tried to get other people involved while I lost my own involvement and even interest in the website (hence the lots of ups and downs in activity). The latest website layout was an attempt to step away from the blog aspect and become more of a “magazine” style like website. But this kind of stranded because a lack of my time and inspiration.
Now, where am I going with all of this? I’m throwing aboard a lot of stuff I tried to do the last few months. We’re going back to a “normal” blog website and I will be posting my love for music, art, culture and so on … So back to basic, back to where we were a good year ago and eventually how it should be. So expect no-nonsense media, sometimes not the latest news and tracks but probably still only the best.
Hope this all makes sense to those who even took the time to read this. I also hope with the new state of mind of the website and myself I can manage to squeeze in more time (or better spend time) in more regular updates. Any comments, likes or dislikes on this … don’t hold back!
