If you’re like us, when it came time to make the daunting decision of going to UMF 15 Weekend 1 or Weekend 2, one of the underlying factors was definitely Swedish House Mafia’s “last” performance together. When the decision to go the second weekend was made, and the tickets were purchased, you were probably happy that you were able to get your hands on some before they sold out. Then, when the full lineup was announced you became extremely disappointed that Skrillex is not performing both weekends. For those of you attending Weekend 1, [...]

Can't differentiate between house , minimal and dubstep ? Not sure what "drop the bass" or "BPM" really mean? Don't know which artists to listen to right now? Have no fear, for this week, Sohail Arora aka Ez Rizer (also of Bay Beat Collective ) talks to NH7 about five artists he's into who you should probably give a listen to. Nicolas Jaar One of the finest producers out there and one of my favourites in the last year or so. It's how he combines [...]
The Indiecision Five at 5 is our attempt at sharing our musical tastes with you, and showcasing music from around the world. Each day at 5pm sharp, one NH7 writer or staffer will bring you five songs he/she is listening to on the day. Today however, Dualist Inquiry stopped by at the NH7 office and we just had to wrangle a Five at 5 out of him. These are some seriously sweet tunes. Check 'em out. 1. KOAN Sound - "80s Fitness' If I’m not mistaken, the KOAN Sound [...]
Welcome ladies and gentlemen… to part 5 of the bass music awards! I will be your host, as we delve into the year’s best releases, and crown 2012′s ‘King of Bass'. Some of these would slot into multiple categories, but when I'm in the mood for some relaxin', there's a seperate playlist for that. Hence the laid-back track award! WINNER: Cashmere Cat - Mirror Maru Earning best chill tune [...]
After the wild success of The Adventures of Mr. Fox, KOAN Sound have continued on their tear with a remix for Halo 4 and more recently a remix for Two Fingers. KOAN Sound's remix of Vengeance Rhythm is nothing game changing from the boys from Bristol, but it's still a track that is dominatedg by thunderous bass and [...]
The latest edition of the BASS Camp Festival saw performances by ViceVersa, OX7GEN, Praxis, Dualist Inquiry and KOAN Sound on Friday, December 7 at the Blue Frog in the capital.
If dirty, dark dubstep breaks mixed with some funky-ass grooves are your thing, you've probably heard of English electronica duo KOAN Sound. They've only been around since 2008, but their rise to stardom since has been astounding. Coming from a background rooted in Bristol's drum 'n' bass scene, the duo have managed to redefine boundaries with a dark sound not commonly associated with the genre, and have still managed to put out release after release of dance-friendly, funked-out, dubsteppy bliss. They've released three EPs already, are now signed to Skrillex's OWSLA label, and have collaborated with and remixed [...]
Gemini has been involved in a special project, about which you can discover on the Bandcamp page. We caught up again briefly. DB: Firstly I feel like you personally never stop, that you are insanely... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Symbolically represented by the twins, the astrological sign of Gemini has always been known for its versatility and ability to encompass both yin and yang. Fittingly, the same can be said about English producer Thomas Singer, who burst onto the scene less than two years ago under the name Gemini ; the innovative then-student shattered convention with his debut EP Blue , and has been altering the bass music scene ever since. Singer’s unique style can partially be attributed to his approach towards the creative process – he has been known to begin his [...]
I swear that EDM music videos are getting much better and perhaps might be shedding that stereotype of awfulness that has plagued them in the past. After the great success of The Adventures Of Mr. Fox EP, KOAN Sound are back with a music video for 802s Fitness. The video is purposefully cheesy with teams of fitness enthusiasts battling it [...]
Our brothers over at Inspected Records have been synonymous with all things hairy lipped. Inspector Dubplate has been a huge advocate of the moustache and even created a line of clothing and accessories (you can buy here). In support of Movember this year Inspected have put together a special one-off single, 'Beyond The Shadows'. The track will be available via Bandcamp as a pay-what-you-like download, but all donations are hugely appreciated and will be put forward to the Movember & Sons charity, raising money for and awareness for prostate cancer. It's an epic collaboration between label mates KOAN Sound, Gemini, Culprate and [...]

Inspected a toujours été une entité a surveiller, dès ses débuts l'intégration de producteurs tels que Culprate sentaient le jackpot à plein nez. Aujourd'hui c'est pour la bonne cause que KOAN Sound, Gemini, Culprate et ASA se sont rassemblés, effectivement tous les fonds encaissés avec « Beyond The Shadows » rejoindront directement les donations envers le Movember (un mouvement pour soutenir les personnes atteintes d'un cancer, le but étant de ne pas se raser la moustache durant tout le mois de novembre). Une bonne cause, une bonne équipe, les divers protagonistes se sont fait [...]
KOAN Sound gives the hip-hop crunch to Two Fingers ' forthcoming Vengeance Rhythm , which is due for release on December 10th. For the unaware, Two Fingers is Amon Tobin 's dance music alias/persona. Dub and techno influenced industrial tunes is the specialty of Two Fingers, as Mr. Amon attempts to dive into the money filled dance music scene. We'll see what he has up his sleeve, but it appears that he won't be holding anything back with the Two Fingers project. Watch child toys kill and blow up with blood to Vengeance Rhythm here [...]
Koan Sound has been a favorite ever since I heard them. KOAN [Pronounced Ko - Anne]: A puzzling, often paradoxical statement or story, used in Zen Buddhism as an aid to meditation and a means of gaining spiritual awakening. They have just released a new album on Skrillex's record label, OWSLA . They have created art, is all I [...]
Rocking the Daisies, South Africa's greenest and cleanest festival, has come and gone, but the memories (if slightly fuzzy) remain. We know what we like here at electrotrash, and it can't be found at the mainstage. We prefer drum machines and synths and so naturally we gravitated towards the Red Bull electro tent, while making a few passes at the New World Beat Barn and the Mainstay Beach Bar. The electro tent, which from the outside resembled a Great White with its jaws wide open drew massive crowds, a telling sign when the quality of music entices a mainly rock [...]
En ce moment même a lieu un concours de remixes pour l'arrivée du jeu Halo 4. Trois morceaux sont proposés par le site officiel : Revival, To Galaxy & Awakening et au lieu d'en choisir un parmi les trois, Bestrack a décidé de remixer les trois morceaux en un seul pour un résultat plus que réussi. Par la suite, les remixes ne seront pas choisis par le nombre de lectures, mais par le nombre de mises en favori dont ils disposent. Supportez Bestrack , ajoutez le remix dans vos [...]
A late Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian readers! I'm still just waking up after spending my Sunday night (and much of Monday morning) at Guvernment's 16th anniversary party, giving thanks to late night sets from Wolfgang Gartner , Above & Beyond , and Adventure Club ! This week was a big one for bass music, and after dancing the night away to some great music this past weekend, I feel it's my turn to give back! Number one this week comes from UK heavyweights Jack Beats . They've [...]
