So the wonderful Acid Jacks just dropped my new 'Torture' ep on their label Idiot House! The tittle track is called 'Torture' , I had the luck of getting remixes from Hostage , Udachi , and Noise Floor Crew! Everyone from Ac Slater to Foamo has been playing out something from the ep! The 'Torture' Ep includes and bouncy B-Side called 'Bitches' that is a simple and dark good follow up to the main single. Go grab them all on Beatport HERE , or be a cheapo and download the original off my soundcloud! [...]
With the big 4th of July weekend coming up, this week's Friday Mixtape couldn't have come at a better time. Artists must have sensed the upcoming holiday because they released a TON of material, which we then compiled into a handy mixtape for your Independence Day BBQ, soirée, or other form of celebration. Included is a blend of this week's best new singles, remixes, and covers, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out. Get out those lawn chairs and sparklers America, and while you're at it pop in our mixtape. It's like fireworks, hot [...]
I've got some early fireworks for y'all today. Seems like I've been waiting forever for it- Noise Floor Crew released The Noise Floor Crew EP recently, featuring this remix by the southside's own, Rob Threezy , of Ghetto Division. Also featured on the EP are aKademy, Chrissy Murderbot, DJ Figure, Edu K & Rampage. I'm so glad to share this one- NFC's Local Hero is without a doubt my favorite DJ in Chicago. Hope they keep 'em comin'. Noise Floor Crew - Ozz Pt 1 (Rob Threezy [...]

Just as 2006 belonged to electro, 2007 and 2008 to dubstep, and 2009 to bassline, so too will 2010 belong to UK Funky. So what better way to kick off the year in funky (even though it's March, for fuck's sake) than to review DJ Donna Summer 's first release on Nightshifters in 2 years? I wouldn't say I'm a convert yet, but the possibilities within the genre have been opened up to me. Tracks like 'Wood' remind me of the old glitchy records that tigerbeat6 used to put out back in the [...]
Nightshifters are the undisputed kings of raved out, bass heavy tunes. Every release they've put out so far has arguably become an instant classic, so it's no surprise that label co-owner DJ Donna Summer would release one of the craziest records of the bunch. Raw has nicely syncopated drums sandwiched between classic house chords and heavy bass. The release consists of 9 total tracks, 5 of which are original productions while the other 4 being remixes. The remixes come from Bok Bok, Hostage, Noise Floor Crew and Sonido Del Principe. My favorite being the Bok Bok [...]
"Nightshifters label head Jason Forrest is back with a vengeance as DJ Donna Summer ! Hot off his Pitchfork-approved remix for The Arcade Fire, he's here to shake asses and (gasp!) even make you think a little bit. 'Raw', his first EP for Nightshifters and first release in 2 years, is filled with syncopated drums, far-out bass, and hybridized house organs to take you well into the next morning. The title track "Raw" is an expansive bass tune with enough sexual innuendo to keep a nun awake for a week and 'Fighter' an explosive house-dubstep 1-2 punch [...]

Cover illustration by Shantz Last week we had an exclusive mix from Mr. Fogg . This week we have Chicago's very own Noise Floor Crew mixing up some of our favorite tunes!
The wait is over! As reported over two months ago , Portishead announced that they were in the studio and planning a fourth studio album for 2010. However, on Wednesday music fans went crazy for the news that the band were releasing a brand new song titled Chasing the Tear (tear as in rip) for Human Rights Day on December 10th! The performance video of the brand new song is available for your viewing pleasure below and the song is available exclusively for purchase HERE with "proceeds going toward Amnesty's human rights work [...]
Thanks to some bulgogi-bloating Korean BBQ on Wednesday night, I missed sets from 12th Planet and Mary Anne Hobbs at the Scion House Party at The Roxy. Such are the consequences of $16.99 all-you-can-eat dinners. Thankfully, the Fullerton Dubstep don dropped a blistering mix on Hobbs' BBC 1XTRA show last Wednesday, full of rarely heard material that wobbles like a 504 Boy (on another note, why hasn't a dubstep producer remixed this yet? ) Another star in the seemingly limitless Southern Cali constellation, 12th's music works well with a strong set of headphones, but even [...]

The Lady Foursquare - Breakdown/Breakthrough: August 2009 Double Mix First we went to Detroit… and that's where all the trouble began. Detroit warped my fucking head this year. After 2009's DEMF I was listening to music in a new way for the first time in years. Everything was new and fresh. A month later, and after three years of constant elation, depression, hell and highwater in the trenches of the dance music industry, I decided to abandon Chicago. We played 2 going away shows, one [...]

See the post below for a little bit more on listener created NFC videos, but here's another one.
I love it when we find listener generated videos of Noise Floor stuff. I am guessing this one was made shortly after our remix of Magic Doors by Portishead was played on the BBC in Josh Wink's most recent Essential Mix, thus the pic of the otherwise unrelated Wink at the beginning of the slideshow. Anyhoot, thanks to the makers of this clip. We're honored to find these when they pop up and we hope that you will keep listening and creating. If you have an NFC video that you've made that you would like [...]
