Okay, we think we've made it clear in the past that we are big fans of Mikey Perry . We've talked about his shows with Surecut Kids , and we've talked about his mixtapes, remixes and releases under his solo guise, PACES . So let's just cut to the chase on this one? No BS. 'The Pact' features the uber-talented Melbourne songstress Chela , you may know her from her vocals in that Clubfeet track you love, and is a ballad for the bass [...]

We're kicking off this weeks Trap Dojo in a hard way with the newest track from trap music prodigy Alex Young, an original titled "Mastermind". Don't let the emotional electro build-up fool you, when this one drops, nothing will stop you from banging your head and attempting to shuffle, no matter where you are. Vinnie Maniscalco puts a fresh spin on an old favorite this week, remixing The Champs classic tune "Tequila". With heavy bass and clever drum work, he flips the familiar sax tune on its head. Ookay and Pyramid Juke come together for a huge collaboration with this [...]

Our Gold Coast buddy and killer beatmaker PACES has just announced he will release his debut EP 'The Pact', with title single featuring Chela, on groundbreaking US label SYMBOLS . Mikey Perry (aka PACES ) has been a busy guy. Whether he's being named a 'Top New Producer to Watch' by inthemix; receiving national airplay love on triple j; remixing the likes of PARACHUTE YOUTH , YESYOU and SAMPOLOGY ; supporting producer extraordinaire LUNICE ; or having his bootleg of ‘Angels’ ( THE [...]

Montreal's Kaytranada opened for Kastle at Fortune Sound May 19th and we even got JMSN to come up the street from his Electric Owl show to perform "Alone". It's easy to say that we had lots of talent in the building that night. I got to speak with Kaytranada after his performance about personal interests, future projects and his current European tour. Keep in mind English is not his first language, excuse his french. Q: First off, what was the first song that really hit off for you? [...]

This past Sunday evening I had the pleasure of attending Fortune Sound Club with my photographer in crime Ren Burress, a fellow bay native living out life here in cloudy Vancouver. Ren and I ventured deep into Vancouver’s historic Chinatown district to Fortune, for a live performance from San Francisco’s very own Kastle , and Canadian remix-god Kaytranada . As this was Kastle’s second time visiting Vancouver this year, the anticipation for this show couldn’t have been higher. Upon hearing this announcement I jumped joyously, though when I heard that he would be performing singles from [...]
We're kicking off this week with the first track of the new Animal LP from Bro Safari and UFO! . This whole album is filled with killer tracks from all sides of bass music from Trap to Moombah and Dubstep to DnB, and the best part is that its free. Download the whole album here . Next up, there are a couple tracks from another hot release this week, the Spotlight 1 compilation, which is full of the best EDM around in all styles, with Smookie Illson and K-Theory bringing that trapstyle to the party. When it comes to [...]
Sunday Morning Medicine is a feature from Dancing Astronaut dedicated to the mellower side of electronic music. We bring you our favorite therapeutic selections — old and new — in an attempt to alleviate the agonizing effects of a long weekend of partying. While there aren't any strict definitions as to what constitutes downtempo, it's generally known as slower, ambient-driven electronic music. This week features an assortment of downtempo productions with two impeccable originals from Andrew Bayer , a rework of "Move For Me," X3SR's remix of "Breathe," and an original from Kastle . [...]

Here is 8prn 's take on Outkast's anthemic pop classic "Roses". This may be the dopest remix we have heard from Patrick Holland so far... That said–he has a handful choice cuts in his remix discography already. ( His adaptation of Evy Jane's "nothing so great" is a personal favourite.) If you are feeling 8prn 's steez, put on his 'escape' mix; it's fresh out of the oven: You can catch him tomorrow night in Vancouver at Fortune. He [...]

The ascent of electronic producers from the obscure underground scene to the fringes of pop mainstream is a path that is becoming more and more common these days, and few have done it as seamlessly and organically as San Francisco's Barrett Richards, best known to the music world as Kastle . With a forward-thinking sonic vision that skillfully balances infectious, sexy, bass-heavy beats and seductive, emotional, heavily-treated vocals that bounce off woozy, synthetic soundscapes, Kastle's new, long-awaited, self-titled debut album captures an en vogue fusion of electronic, R&B, hip-hop, and pop elements that’s an ideal soundtrack at the club, [...]

May Long Weekend is fast approaching us, and what better way to spend your guilt-free Sunday night than at Fortune Sound Club with two rising musical stars. After a mesmerizing show at Fortune Sound Club last January, electronic-artist Kastle will be returning to Vancouver with Montreal-based sensation Kaytranada on May 19. Kastle’s forward-thinking music results from his long-time love of hip-hop and R&B, fused with the magnetizing effect that garage, house, dubstep and bass-heavy music has had on him. Kastle's unique fusions will fit nicely with Kaytranada's modern take on the luscious sounds of 902s [...]

Here is how the headlines will remember the week. President of the Catholic League is so fired up at Bowie's "The Next Day" music video that he called the pop star a, "switch-hitting, bisexual, senior citizen", while the media hedgefund-scaled hype surrounding The Great Gatsby redux only further reminds us of our current-crap-economic conditions, that finds Santigold moonlighting on "The Office" along with Clay Aiken and Aaron Rodgers to find "The Next Grea...
LessThan3: We noticed that you did an article with MTV recently about drink pairings for your album. Are you a mixologist? Barrett: I guess. One of the drinks on that list is definitely a recipe of mine which I just end up calling 'The Kastle'; that came about from a holiday party in San Francisco. I used to live with Dean Grenier, (DJG), and other artists on Symbols. A lot of our friends came through, just the whole local SF family, and I started making drinks, and I kinda just raided [...]

A smaller Fresh Friday, but these are worth the mention and hold it on their own. Make sure to grab these tunes and enjoy. I will!

Kastle thinks of his label, Symbols Records as a home for music that couldn’t find a home anywhere else. He created the label when the music he made found itself without a home too, because, like his new stable of artists, their sounds can’t be pigeonholed. Sure all his social media (except for SoundCloud) goes by KastleDub but all that really means is his music almost always features a pulsing, hypnotic bassline. His tracks meander their way across the subgenres of various music combining hip-hop esque sampling with dark, yet funky melodies. Check his track [...]

[Ta-ku] We first heard Mt Eden ’s anthem “Sierra Leone” back in 2010- a time when some of our favorite shows to attend were those of Datsik , Excision , and B. Rich (who now goes by Kastle ). Since then, our personal preferences have clearly shifted. However, yesterday, we received a welcome dose of nostalgia when we learned that Mt Eden was finally releasing “Sierra Leone” (officially) alongside a handful of remixes courtesy of araabMUZIK , Ta-ku , Tommie Sunshine , and Live [...]
