Thirty three years since the premiere of the Jamaican duo Althea & Donna and their number one on the charts in the UK hit "Uptown Top Ranking", Alan Hostage has taken the reggae/dancehall number and made it into one of the better infused-with-dub-and-rave remixes we've heard in 2010, with a simple drum beat claps replacing [...]
Suicide Sundaes – stop your grinnin' and drop your linen. Every Sunday electblake of Earmilk will bring you the weeks dirty servings, and some old favorites through a throwdown-throwback to simpler times. A time when bangers were big, remixes were bigger, the bassline bled, and we didn't care about anything as long as came in kicking and left screaming. To hell with sketchy Sunday, we want to shove another dragon down the hole. This weeks finds itself with a decent balance of the clubbier house [...]
Liam Howlet from Prodigy was asked to do a remix of one of his favourite tunes and here's what he came up with. He remixed Jay-Z - 99 problems and you can really recognize Prodigy style and hear some familiar samples in it. Check it below. Jay-Z - 99 Problems :: The Prodigy Remix by theprodigy Since i was lazy this last week here are some really good tracks that were in my inbox. There's something for everyone. Starting slowly and continuing with some housey/electro/fidgety stuff [...]
What I like about Hostage is that he tries his hand at different styles and doesn't just sit in his comfort zone. Case in point is 'Sweet Sweet Riddim' a Prodigy-style rave-a-thon. Impossible not to do the laptop headbop while this is on! APPROVED! Hostage - Requiem by HOSTAGE ← ♥♥♥ Hostage - Sweet Sweet Riddim by HOSTAGE ← ♥♥ Hostage - The BA$$ by [...]
Alan Hostage is back after a bit to reveal a new, funkier edit of "The Bass" and a finally-available-for-download version of the "Requiem For A Dream" theme (originally composed by Kronos Quartet) which dubs to shit the original's menace and somber qualities. Alan also just got a tune released on Teenage Riot Records (the label [...]
Hostage keeps on bringin those meaty, ravey tunes. Here's a recent track he made - Requiem. He actually sampled "Requiem For a Dream" and made a hard, ravey dubstep track. Listen and download below. Hostage - Requiem
Having just returned from his tour of the Southern Hemisphere, Scottish bass plunderer Hostage brings us back a gift in the shape of 'Requiem', a remix of the theme tune from the classic film 'Requiem For A Dream'. Hostage takes the theme's epic, haunting strings and weaves them into a rave-heavy dubstep assault. He has also [...]

Crazy weeks followed by crazy weekends need crazy tracks! Some nice blog promos were sent in the blog atmosphere the last few days, and here is a small selection of it! BMKLTSCH RCRDS has two new releases, one from the crazy Boemklatsch crew ft Mike Lord and the other one is from well known dutch electro producer Jaimie Fanatic . Both releases feature a nice batch of remixers as Shameboy (killer electro-techno remix!), Calverton, Hostage and more. For all the remixes I like to refer to Beatport: Boemklatsch / Jaimie Fanatic .

Jeg har en stor fascination af underlægningsmusik musik komponeret til film, det man på engelsk kalder for et (film) score . (Man kan diskutere, om billederne ikke somme tider fungerer som underlægning til musikken frem for omvendt, men det er en anden snak!) Der sker noget særligt — nogle gange nærmest magisk med musik, når det bliver kædet sammen med billeder. Af samme årsag har jeg også en forkærlighed for musik, der har filmiske/cinematografiske kvaliteter — helt generelt. Men videre til musikken! Først et par remixes af musik lavet til Inception (De tager begge lidt [...]

Sorti le 28 septembre chez Teenage Rio t le dernier EP d' Hostage , Verstatile Sound continue de montrer les influences dérivantes du producteur, oui en effet il se dirige vers une ambiance tropicale bass qui reste assez unique en son genre. Je dis ça car quand dans un mix on entend un morceau d' Hostage , on reconnait de suite sa patte, et c'est un bel atout qu'il a en main. De plus il a l'habitude de sortir ses EP avec plusieurs morceaux originaux, du coup on commence à avoir une bien bonne collection [...]
Well it's almost the end of summer and you know it means it's time for a new F*** The Heat!!! I'm pretty stoked about it. It's a 40 minute mix of baby-punching madness.

Photography: Rebecka Bjurmell I hope you missed this — I know I did. Alphabet Pony mailed me his latest creation, the vocal takes its time as usual but it's a gem nonetheless.

Subliminal , at the tender age of 17 is a producer on the rise. gaining support from the likes of Hostage and Acid Jacks , this producer brings a noticeably hard electronic heavy bass style to his tracks. none more than "the juggernaut" which "Was played by hostage at cloud 9 fest and he devoted a twitter post to it". A strong jack beats wobble influence but not taken away from his own originality to the song. Subliminal - The Juggernaut 320 wow
