‘Cymatic Frequencies’ an Audio Visual mix by DK

“The Solid Steel radio show regularly features AV mixes alongside the audio and this week DK gives you another treat for eyes as well as your ears with his full on Audio Visual mix ‘Cymatic Frequencies’.
It’s packed full of musical highlights from 2010, Ninja Tune & Big Dada XX celebrations and of course the odd classic thrown in for good measure, all with added visuals (most of them created for each track). No other radio show regularly gives you this ‘visual version of a mixtape’ “

Cosmonaut Grechko

Cosmonaut Grechko is Victor Klyuchnikov, a 19 year old disco producer based in Russia. A classically trained pianist and drummer, started studying music at the age of 6. He sais he has been influenced by music from video games, started listening to Nirvana and Chemical Brothers. I’m a bit surprised that resulted to this fine new disco music, but hey it works!

Have a listen to this amazing, very feel good!, remix for Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps. My Sunday is already perfect because of this one!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps (Cosmonaut Grechko version)

Last night he also did a mixtape for a Russian music station, so don’t mind the Russian brabbling at the beginning and enjoy this Nudisco mixtape! At the end of the mixtape he plays his remix for Chilly Gonzales – You Can Dance which is being released the 1st March.

The Kobra Kai

Kobra Kai ???!!!

It’s been a while since I posted some good funky house! New found artist “The Kobra Kai” sent us two fresh productions featuring some old school funky samples! Huge plans coming from this guy, he announced that he will launch a record label in the coming months. Beside producing and dj’ing he also manages Deepsession in Italy responsible for several events in Roma! Will we here more from The Kobra Kai or his label in the future? The chances are small I think, but still the tracks deserve some credit, too bad Say What U Will sounds poorly mastered?

Light Year – January mixtape

I feel so ashamed for not featuring these guys on the blog last year even though they are probably my favourite producers of 2010. I’m talking about the Australian duo Light Year who, in 2010, brought us amazing tracks as Five Girls, Sex Education and the best remix for Surkin’s Fan Out (have a listen to their other releases on soundcloud). I’m going to make up for all that undeserved blog neglecting and I’ll start by posting this new mixtape they made for MuckMe.

Flux Pavilion x M.I.A.

Flux is back with a smashin’ remix for M.I.A! Word on the street says this remix is ‘too mainstream’, but there ain’t nothing wrong with this tune! Show some love on his Facebook page.

Last time I made a Dubstep Round Up was back in October. A lot of time (and big tunes) passed by, a bit too much actually! I’ll try to be doing this monthly from now on. In this post you’ll find some free albums, as well as the biggest dubstep tunes of the passed month(s).

Feel Your Pulse

How about some fresh drum & bass tunes! I’ll start with some more easy listening, liquid drum & bass before getting to the heavy hitters.
This first track hasn’t been released yet, but it’s just too good not to share.

J Majik & Wickaman – Ritual [clip]

“All I Need” by Colourz is the opening track of Liquid Soldiers 2010. The vocal work reminds me of some Netsky productions, but the track definitely has its own style.

Colourz – All I Need

2010 saw the release of The Force’s debut album “Pet Projects”. Last year I was lucky enough to share the stage with this guy. I had some high expectations about his album. Well he didn’t disappoint, that’s for sure! This is one of the standout tracks for me. You can buy this tune or the whole album here.

That same night Mutated Forms was playing as well. Here they remix “Be The Music” by Hoax (aka Shifta) and they do it good. Heavy bass action!

Now let’s end this post with a heavy banger! It’s another typical remix by Sub Zero, and as always he gets the job done. The original by Ozma is also worth checking out.
