This month we start with a rather minimal yet paradoxically large 'Zone' by Elgato, raising the bpm from 120 to 150, and finishing off again with a masterful Lone track from his album Galaxy Garden, featuring Machinedrum on the vocals. We also have features from 3 other outstanding albums, including Actress' R.I.P , Distal's Civilization , and Lazer Sword's Memory , all highly recommended. Stand out tunes from the mix have to be Logos' rude laser anthem 'Kowloon' and Baauer's supercrunk remix of Krueger. Enjoy. Deepend - W.A.B. April 2012 [...]
Distal is about to release a new LP. And it's quality AND quantity. Like you would expect anything less from him. Check it out. DISTAL - CIVILIZATION LP ...
Little Jinder 's new single "Keep On Dreaming" was produced by 12th Planet & Flinch and includes remixes from Starkey, Deadboy, Distal and Seba. Little Jinder debuted back in 2008 with her first EP, Polyhedron. Polyhedron saw high praises from international critics and lead to the release of 'Youth Blood' in 2009. The release earned her parise, a signing with Ministry Of Sound and the infamous remix from 12th Planet & Finch. Her sound is a blend of pop vocals, disco beats and dubstep tempo. Not vibin' the remixes, but the original gave me, 'Youth [...]
Quite a bassy Londoney affair last month for me, of course accompanied by a dash of European and American bass music from French Fries' ballroom influenced 'Yo Vogue' to Helix's Night Slugs white label 505 rave extravaganza 'Drum Track' (renamed 'No Hook No BS' as the vocalised version with MC Flirta D). Get all these tracks wherever you can. Peace. DEEPEND - W.A.B. MARCH 2012 MIX Tracklisting: Boddika - Acid Jackson (Swamp81) [...]
Chart courtesy of The Economist 01. Hunee, "Tide" [ Rush Hour Recordings ] ( buy ) "Let's grow!" It's an innocuous enough statement at the bottom of Hunee's SoundCloud "about" section, but it so perfectly describes his modest ambitions over these last three years. He started from a firm base in 2009 with his releases on W.T. Records and Feel Music, and yet every record since he's made strides in the strength and coherence of his [...]
Atlanta's own Distal has been frantically beavering away in his studio, first with various collaborations (with the likes of HxdB and Archie Pelago) and then with his debut album. The new LP will be called 'Civilization' and is sure to feature a bewildering array of styles in true Distal form. So far, all we've been privy to is the leaked track 'Gorilla', a sinister piece with a brooding bassline that wouldn't sound out of place in a Hammer horror. Punctuate that with an echoing jungle sample and some futuristic grinding bleeps in [...]
How do you prefer your remixes? Soundcloud or just a link? Leonard Friend - Everything for the Sake of Everything (Luke Top Remix) Yusek-Off the Wall (Brodinski Remix) Röyksopp "Röyksopp Forever" (Pardon My Friends Mashup Mix) CARTER TANTON-In Knots (+ Distal Remix)
Siberian 19 year-old Ivan Koreev, also known as Aleph , has been busy working on his new single for King Deluxe records. The new EP, 'From Chaos To Cosmos', blends ambient jungle, broken beat Hip-Hop and Chillwave melancholia for a sombre jaunt through the annals of contemporary electronica. The video for 'Omerta' has already been featured on XLR8R and the single itself has received extensive coverage on Boomkat. The new EP also features an outstanding couple of remixes, the first a Distal reworking of 'Under A Layer Of Ice' [...]
This one is fresher than the knee graze you just picked up from falling off your fishtail. Uploaded a couple of hours ago to Soundcloud, 'Cherry Red' is the latest 808 drenched effort from Atlanta's prolific Distal. Tagged "trap" I was initially paranoid that the track was part of an elaborate joke I was too dumb to understand but then I realised it was an actual genre and readjusted my collar in a confident, manly fashion. To be honest, even if it was a joke, I could listen to 808 samples all night regardless of their order and rhythm so [...]
Image by Hrafnhildur Arnardottir [Frite Nite] Based in San Francisco, the Frite Nite collective is headed up by Salva, the producer who shot to popularity with his synergistic debut album, Complex Housing , earlier this year. The album melded together many of the emerging music styles in dance music, and that same synergy is prevalent on the collective's compilation, [...]
Out this week on Grizzly, Distal's 'Boss of the South' EP is overflowing with beautiful, bass-heavy ideas. Vocal slices galore collide above a shimmering bassy house beat that careens and sashays gloriously. Capracara splices it open and lets it all come out, tearing out the busyness and sending proceedings in a direction marked lazy. No [...]
Ever since he burst onto the scene last year, Distal 's been making waves throughout the various electronica subcultures. Whether it be his prolific output on Embassy or any of the other labels he's released records on this year. Make no mistake, 2011 is Distal's year. It's been a year of high output for Michael Rathbun. Besides a slew of original productions, he's been responsible for some truly memorable remixes for the likes of Talk, Brenmar or the mighty C.R.S.T. Anyway, sycophancy aside, Distal has a brand new EP out on Sinden 's Grizzly [...]
Atlanta based producer Distal is making a mark in the scene right now with his production covering all the grey areas between house, dubstep, footwork and hip hop, and now mixing the latest FACT mix . The mix is full of dubs from his Embassy Recordings Label including the DJ Assault remix of Boston producer Wheez-ie, plus heaps of dark snappying 808 rhythms, acid basslines and ghetto-house style vocals. Distal's highly anticipated track " Boss Of The Sound " is out on Sindens [...]
Out on Grizzly - September 12th
The latest release from Sinden's Grizzly label, and it's from Atlanta's BOSS OF THE SOUTH, Distal. These tracks are madness, but I might just be a sucker for a good pitched vocal. Distal - Coke Bottle Distal - Boss Of The South Nah, they are madness after all! It's out on Sept 12. ...
Distal by Crash Of Rhinos While getting caught up in the emotive hardcore revival movement that's been gaining steam here in the United States in the past few years, I have unfortunately ignored a lot of the similar music that's been coming out on the other side of the pond. After hearing Distal , the new album by British punks Crash of Rhinos, I'm seriously regretting not having explored this side of emo music earlier. The Derby-based band released this LP back in April, and went on to tour with such United States [...]
