Last years Christmas (as in two weeks ago), Plastik along with Keatchen Records, threw this sick party in Café d’Anvers (Antwerp). Big line-up with dj’s from own grounds. Here are their livesets recorded that night:
So here I am with my favourite tracks of the year 2009. I must say that it was a good year for belgian producers, many tracks were released and some artists got great contracts (e.g. Netsky). That’s why my top 10 is filled with belgian tracks, this is my way of saying thanks to them.
TOP 10
The Bloody Beetroots – Warp 1977 (feat. Steve Aoki and Bobberman) // Buy

It’s been some time since we’ve mentioned some dubstep on this blog, so I figured I should do a big round up of some of the tunes I’ve been into since our last dubstep post. This is one for the bassheads!
To start things off, now even the Wu-Tang Clan has found its way to the world of dubstep, through the release of “Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 2: Enter The Dubstep”. It’s a full album containing 19 of their tracks, remixed by artists like DZ, Excision & DatsiK, Matt U, Stenchman, Evol Intent and many more. I must say there’s some real quality stuff on this one!

Next up is Babylon System, who released their banging “Hyphy” EP. The backflip Get On Up starts with some nice reggae sounds and builds up to a big heavy rhythm!
The other track Dancin’ Shoes is little bit older (dates from 2007), but still gets me goin’. Again they use their signature style: reggae vibes followed by heavy bass action.

I’ve been playing G Funk-3000 on repeat the last couple of days. You might know XI from some of his remixes of hip hop/gangsta rap (which are a lot darker). G Funk-3000 is much more mellow and groovy, I love it!

Belgian electro producer/DJ Modek sent us his latest production. Apparantly he started making dubstep under his new alias The Stint. I’m really impressed with his brand new remix of an oldskool Neophyte hardcore tune. On top of this he made a video clip using parts of horror classic Poltergeist!

This next track by Excision is for those who like it really heavy (I warned you!). Excision is everyware these days and I like it!

Someone every dubstep fanatic knows is this fella, Benga. His album “Diary Of An Afro Warrior” was very well received, and he kept making fresh tunes since then. Rockstar is a new one and I must say he made another big one!

Those of you who remember Hangover know what this next guy is capable of! Also, he’s already got support from Benga, Caspa, Crookers, Datsik and many more. He recently released an EP with Ollie featuring two original tracks (one from Bare Noize and one from Ollie) and with both remixing each others tracks.

Not much time, lots of school work and places to be! But so many good tracks were thrown at my head the last few days, so I’m just gonna place them all here.
A lot of good tracks again on RCRDLBL.com (as always), the Laza Beam remix is a perfect party starter by the way!

Then some new stuff from Spreadthenoise who sent me some promo stuff from an artist called “Pink a Pads“. Farabutto has that House sound to it, while the remix of Il Moralista (by Doc Trashz) sounds like a hectic electro song (maybe even to hectic)!

And to finish this post some tracks from two smaller Belgian producers, who would love some feedback on their tracks! The first remix is from Lektron, who did this one for the Anne Clark remix competition, unfortunately he didn’t win, but it’s still a banging electro tune.

The next one is something for our more open-minded people, it’s not a genre we post everyday (I’m not really sure what the genre is acually), but I think these tracks have potential!

Modek made a mixtape for a nice blog called La Foulie. It’s filled with the latest bangers and some unknown stuff. He also gave us his newest releases, a remix of Röyksopp and his own creation called The Roswell Stomp.
A new brilliant remix/rechop by Modek. This time an old track, 1999 to be more exact, from Cassius a french duo who were far ahead of their time. Very catchy and summer tinted track, brilliant from beginning till the end and so is this “Rechop” by Modek. But Modek brought it back up to date and made it sound fresh for this years summer!
The second EP of Project Cyborg is about to be released on MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO label! the 11th of June to be more exact. The EP will be called “Hey Ladies” and will include the original mix and the remix by Modek formerly known as Mellow. The Project Cyborg fans will hear it correctly, Hey Ladies is build on the same sample they used for their snoop dogg vs dr dre remix. My guesses is that they had to get rid of that remix because they didn’t had the rights to use the vocals etc … (correct me if I’m wrong!). Anyway, they polished up the sample, got some new lyrics and made it ready to hit the clubs. Also check the Modek remix which I even find a bit better then the original track.
