One of the most exciting sounds I've been immersing myself in lately is wonky hip-hop, which (thanks to the ever-changing and often subjective nature of genre definitions) you could probably also refer to as glitch-hop or future beats without a blogger sloshing the kerosene of his opinion all over you and engulfing the situation in flames using his matchstick of keyboard warrior rage. The instrumental hip-hop scene has been developing for many years and has split off into many fragments (many of which are represented here), but it's gathering some serious momentum right now, which means more delicious vitamins that [...]
Probably your parents know more about the famed Festival Express , a concert train led by the Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead in Summer of 1970. With the very competitive dance production circuit, Sonny Moore has done it again by putting the mothership on rails. This summer Canada will experience the bass as Skrillex , Diplo , Grimes and more cruise countryside, most likely leaving a trail of hungover ravers. The trek will have six stops taking them [...]
A Locomotive across the great white north is certainly not how I expected an Electronic tour to go, but, well, here we are. The Fullflex Express Canada Tour is bringing Skrillex, Diplo, Grimes, Tokimonsta, Koan Sound and Pretty Lights on a cross-country tour that will ship the artists on, you guessed it, their own private party train. The concerts will act as their own mini-festival, featuring a number of stages holding simeltanious performances, mini-festival style. Quoting Skrillex "we were really inspired when Mumford and Sons and Edward Sharp and those guys [...]
Skrillex, Pretty Lights, Diplo, Grimes (pictured), KOAN Sound and Tokimonsta will embark on a six-city train tour across Canada. Dubbed the Full Flex Express, the tour apparently is inspired by The Festival Express tour that took place along a similar route in 1970 featuring Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead and The Band. According to Skrillex, [...]
Step aside with your hot chocolate and Tom Hanks-looking conductors, Polar Express. This summer, the Full Flex Express is taking over the Canadian railway system. Headed by Skrillex, Diplo, and Grimes, the joint tour takes inspiration from 19702s Festival Express tour, which featured Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, and the Band traveling across Canada. Pretty Lights, KOAN Sound, and Tokimonsta will also join the gang as they hit each Canadian metropolis throughout July. Consult the full itinerary below. Choo-choo. Full Flex Express 2012 Tour Dates: 07/13 - Toronto, ON @ Fort [...]

Que nous l'aimions ou pas, une chose est sur à propos de Skrillex , c'est qu'il sait comment s'y prendre pour faire tourner son label OWSLA . Après de grosses sorties sur le label comprenant Porter Robinson, Kill The Noise ou encore Dillon Francis , le label montre une fois de plus sa générosité au grand public avec ce Free Treats Vol.II . 19 titres qui rassemblent une certaine crème de la bass music, on a le droit à Koan Sound, Foreign Beggars, Nick Thayer, Plastician, Skrillex, J. Rabbit et [...]
When Sweet Treats Vol. 1 was released a few months ago as a three track sampler, it seemed more like a single for Skrillex's track "Needed Change" with a couple extras rather than a compilation. I was sure the idea had died and no more freebies would be released, but then Vol. 2 was just released last week. Free Treats Vol. 2 is dope. The sampler features over 20 artists on 19 tracks, with contributions from The M Machine, Alvin Risk, Bare Noize, Topher Jones, and a quite a few more. [side note: it sounds like [...]

Skrillex with the help of @Bitvargen @KLFBIZ3 & @YungGroupon announced the creation of OWSLA on August 17, 2011. They have since released 12 heavyweight EPs/Singles and have proved to be more than just an excuse to break ties with Atlantic. With the help of Beatport , Skrillex just released the second installation of Free Treats . It's just a tad more juicy (19 tracks compared to 3 lol) and includes a variety of remedies... Enjoy and make sure to express your thanks to @owsla and @skrillex . OWSLA Free Vitamin Pack [...]

If you're in denial about OWSLA's world takeover, this release should just about quell any doubts. Skrillex and his team have an ear for picking the best talents the US, UK, and beyond have to offer and giving away freebies seems to be their motto. The first volume of Free Treats came out nearly a year ago, while OWSLA was just coming to fruition, and it featured 3 tracks from Zedd, Flinch, Skrilex, and 12th Planet. And in this edition, those folks are joined by a small militia of young, explosive artists that are producing hard-to-beat tracks in nearly [...]
You know it's not a week without some Skrillex news right? This time his OWSLA label will be releasing 'Free Treats Vol. 22, a 19-track compilation. The comp will offer new tracks and remixes from Porter Robinson , Koan Sound, The M Machine, Style of Eye , Alvin Risk, Munichi and plenty more - it won't just be bass heavy dubstep either with a measuring of Progressive House, Electro to Juke. Skrillex is currently in Australia touring with the [...]
![[Glitch Hop] KOAN Sound – The Edge](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4108332_lg.jpg)
What is the sound of one hand clapping? This age old paradox may have just been solved. UK glitch hop newcomers KOAN Sound are coming correct with a fresh new production style that causes neck breaking head bobs and body thrashing. With a wicked swing to their step and negative space synth wobbles these guys make the kind of funk that wipes your mind clean, leaving you in a state of musical zen. Perhaps that's why they call themselves KOAN Sound. A Koan is a puzzling, often paradoxical statement or story, used in Zen [...]

There are thousands of popular artists out there today making new singles all the time. With the increase of bedroom producers, though, the ability to simply download a whole studio that you can use right on your lap has made original songs more scarce. Now it seems that you're finding tens of thousands of remixes by artists with more and more ludicrous names, leaving you wondering, "Transexual Viking Sword Bro- what?" This weekly segment will bring you the popular remixes and the never heard of "Transexual Viking Sword Brothers" remixes of a (common) artist's singles. From all [...]
Le duo KOAN Sound revient avec un téléchargement libre du nom de Risky Endeavours. Fidèles à eux mêmes, une grosse track made in KOAN Sound, c'est à dire grosses basses saturées, le tout breaké de tout les côtés, le tout sur du 96bpm. On voit de plus en plus de tracks avec ce tempo entre [...]
