Time for some dubstep! Mensah (Bristol, UK) is down to his third release on the H.E.N.C.H. imprint. After “Pulse 80s” (split with Jakes) and his “Untitled Future Funk EP”, he now releases three more fresh dubstep tunes. With every release Mensah is getting better and better. Especially his collab with Noah D makes this new EP a must-buy! He’s been combining his influences from Rave, Grime and Dubstep to produce anything from an upbeat purple sound to a darker, heavier bass.
Digital Dreamer kicks off the EP with some dreamy synths, followed by a trippy harmonic lead. Check out Mensah’s bouncing bass rhythms!

Now for some more heavy bass action! Mensah teams up with Noah D, a big combination if you ask me! After a mystic intro the drop brings you a big, captivating bassline. I played this one out last friday and it was a real banger!

“I am Jealov, You are Jealov, We are Jealov, This is Jealov.”
Talking about love on first sight, Jealov is a fresh Belgian (from Leuven) producers who produces amazing tracks and remixes. It’s very hard to describe his genre, his facebook page says: “unable”, which pretty much sums it up. Another blog on the internet describes them as “chillwave” but in the end you just have to check these two remix and the mixtape from a month ago (still worth downloading and listening, thrust me!). Based on the mixtape alone you could compare Jealov with stuff like Hudson Mohawke, jazzy loops, hip hop beats and so on. This could have gone easily in one of Jack Herror’s Chill Sessions I think!

Some tracks just don’t work/sound that good when playing it in your own room or just at a small party, but they absolutely do work at those bigger events partys like for instants I Love Techno. It’s exactly those kinds of tracks Sharkslayer seems to be producing, maybe his studio is in a huge abandoned airplane hangar?

Lots of nice free tracks are dropping in my inbox these days. Groovy stuff today, no epic bangors!
Shantaram, hard to find some to the point info about this guys, but he’s a guy from Italy and “runs” a label and online radio. He sent me his remix for the wonderful Anoraak – Crazy Eyes, a bit of a trancy disco remix.

Let’s keep it funky disco, but with some more beats per minute! Poundrowdys is a passioned house dj but recently started producing as well (in the end, that’s the way to get your name out there these days). He remixed Holidays from Miami Horror which is on their new album “Illumination” haven’t heard the complete album, but what I heard was rather good!

Villa feat. The New Sins – Beats of Love is getting a remix edition, releasing … tomorrow! It will include the dub, club and radio edit along with remixes by Hannulelauri & Mylo. The C90s also did their remix and if this sets the standard for the other two remix we are in for a big suprise because I’m digging this one as much as I did the original!

It seems Yuksek hasn’t being do much on it’s own for some time, but projects as The Krayz (a long with Brodinski) pretty much make up for that. Apparently he also has some collaboration plans with The Magician (ex-Aeroplane) as well, read it in an interview at toomanysebastians. Here is one of his latest solo remix facts.

ANYTHINGMARIA – Cook Him Up (YUKSEK Remix)
Last track probably doesn’t fit the other tracks in this post, but couldn’t leave it unnoticed. I recently posted about Tony Senghore’s “Score EP”, the EP is out now on the major download platforms and this next track should really convince you if you weren’t already.

The debut album “Fenech Soler” from … yes, Fenech Soler has been dominating my mp3player for the last two months. Tracks as Battlefields, Lies, Golden Sun, Stop & Stare got me totally hooked. All though the album is out for some time now they sent us this live version of Battlefields which they recorded at Salford City Radio (I assume). Not sounding bad at all and definitely ear-candy for those who appreciate some indie/pop/rock/electro music. At the top you see a video from their tour (already posted this one on our facebook page some time ago).

Free remix EP coming from Scion A/V remix series, brought too you by Turbo Recordings, not a coinsidence I think because Tiga comes from Canada just like Azari & III is. The EP features the original along with 5 remixes from variate producers. The styles difference between the remixes is rather huge, while the original is just a nice rythmic dancetrack we have 90′s, disco, experimental stuff going on. My favourite one is the 10 minute extended edit Renaissance Man did, nice claps a good funky rythm, just a perfect house tune. Get the full ep here for free.

Normally I don’t easily post mashups or bootlegs, but this one is just too good to leave unnoticed. It’s by upcoming producer/dj Djedjotronic who shared this one on his soundcloud after massive request. It’s a mashup between “Harry Choo Choo Romero & … – Boogers” and the oldschool rave tune that never gets boring “Frequency”. He dropped it at I Love Techno which must have blown the roof off. I’ve added a link to the COMPLETE set at I Love Techno as well.

My last post here is almost two weeks ago, for what it’s worth I had a lot of stuff going on and hard decisions to make. The decision I made will hopefully benefit the website in the future, more on that later. So what’s music been telling me lately:
Some nice releases went down this month, Gesaffelstein – Variations probably my favourite one of this month along with the newest release on BNR Trax, a side/sub label of Boys Noize Records reaching back to the old school roots. Shadow Dancer did release number two and this is how it sounds!

Shadow Dancer – It’s The Everything
Returning closer to home, a new release on Monkey See Monkey Do label, I didn’t even know this label still existed. Wolfie brings an EP with 3 original tracks and 4 remixes. All very tropical/bongo-like/housy tracks, making me immediately forget how cold it is outside.

Some time ago I posted the Gui Borrato remix for Arsenal – Estupendo. Estupendo was the first single in America and in the meanwhile Arsenal is growing their in popularity and release a second single Lotuk. Also this one got remixed, this time by Inflagranti, a bit less deep house like the Gui Borrato one, but a bit more funky house with a rather heavy bass!
