Music submissions #1

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.

All That Fuzz – The Dark Edition

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:

DAILY x LOCKED GROOVE

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!

Bandit Country

I came across this pretty great dubstep album called “Bandit Country”, produced by Doomtrooper and Dr Bloodnugget, both total strangers to me. They released on their own label Illicit Trade. The album shows a lot of variety and many different influences in its songs. You can preview three tracks below, you’ll find the rest at Beatport.

I think for the last tune they were influenced by mystery producers The Aliens. U WOT!

Little Dragon – Crystalfilm (Close Remix)

Little Dragon was a new name for me, but her voice … not so new. That’s probably because she is the featured vocal artist on SBTRKT’s track “Wildfire”. Reading a lot about her music now and days but haven’t got around checking her album, but it’s most definitely on my to-hear list! Another new artist is the mysterious “Close” who remixed Little Dragon’s “Crystalfilm”, he also has a debut album coming up, but maybe more on that later. Now it’s time to enjoy this relaxed, deep track with such warm vocals by Little Dragon.

Quad Bikes (Delta Heavy Remix)

The next H.E.N.C.H release is looking rather promising. Not only is there a brand new track by Mensah (which you can preview here), on the other side there’s Delta Heavy remixing “Quad Bikes”, that awesome tune by Sukh Knight, Mensah and Squarewave. The result is a little less ‘subtle’ than the original, but this will definitely destroy many dancefloors!

Digid – Submerged EP

You might remember Warriorz records from releasing Science’s “Blow Up/Spellbound“. Now they’re back with another Belgian talent: digid gets a chance to show his diversity within the dubstep genre.

“Headspin“, the A-side, is real dancefloor material and definitely the biggest tune of the three. Kind of reminds me of Requake or BadKlaat.

WRZ002 – Digid – Headspin by WARRIORZ records

On the flipside you’ll find two more tunes, which are much deeper than “Headspin”. “Power Restored” has a nice wobbly bassline, while “True World” is even deeper/darker. Warriorz referred to it as “dungeon” style dubstep.
