We made it through. Finally, we have survived Miami & March, we have survived work post-Miami, and all that comes with normal life. That only leaves one concern: What will we Vacay to this weekend? . Simple, a combination of quirky classics that combine the best warbled drums and synths you could possibly find. Vacay on! xx The Duchess We start off with probably the quirkiest tune of the bunch-a dubstep remix of the Harry Potter suite. I know, I know, but give it a shot, I promise that you [...]
Brand new funkadelic remix remix from rising Australian glitch hopper, Opiuo. This song has a slowed down tempo similar to what KOAN Sound delivered in their OWSLA EP, with a likewise touch up of 70s grooving. This was a huge remix project for his career, and he delivered magnificently. Hear the full track below and be sure to grab yourself a copy at Beatport or Amazon . U R So F**ked (Opiuo Remix) - Infected Mushroom [...]

Remember that guy who did the song "Robo Booty"? That's this guy - Opiuo. He's from Melbourne, and he's one of the main pioneers using the elements of dubstep and taking them in a completely new direction. Artists like Koan Sound & Culprate are doing this too, but Opiuo has a significant head start. "Bill Bro Baggins" makes me laugh every time I hear it because the rhythms are just so ridiculous, while "Mouse Trap" is the clear "heaviest-hitting track" of the EP. I've never heard an EP so explosive and yet so organic. Pick it up [...]

Opiuo is known for his creative and unique approach to Dub Step. It's certainly not conventional. He has a Funky style that has built quite a cult-ish following. Like the original this remix stays far from the normal definition of Dubstep. It has a nice crunchy bassline that is also really smooth. The whole song flows like a liquid for almost seven minutes and never gets tiring. Pop this track on and get yurpy! Opiuo - Robo Booty (DU3 Remix) | Direct Download | Hulkshare | Mediafire

Today I've got something that probably sounds like nothing you've ever heard. It's a new take on a oldie Ray Charles's 'Let the Good Times Roll', and the remix is by Opiou. This very talented DJ / producer from Melbourne, Australia makes some real unique funky bass filled music. He's got a bass sound that is so unique, just listen and you'll get what I'm talking about. This heavy yet smooth funky sounding bass mixed with Ray's voice adds up for a combo that is too sick. Make sure you get find some massive speakers to blast this on, enjoy! [...]
Here's a couple of tracks to accompany the season for all of our northern hemispheric readers.First, Opiuo churns out a characteristically bangin' remix of Ray Charles doing "Let the Good Times Roll". He listed the genre as "funkadelic hippohop". It's irresistible.Then, to take things down, an uncharacteristically chilled-out patio tune from Mochipet, featuring guitar by pro skateboarder Ray

Damn does this glitch hop hit . The intro is a good buildup for the glitch glory to come. J52s original may have been one of a few dozen J5 classics, but the remix gives this shit edge . I'm still not quite sure who cut this up, but I'm well on my way to finding out. Until then enjoy this anonymous party poppin' piece. "We verbally vibrate your track."

Slurp And Giggle , the latest album from New Zealand/Australian beatsmith OPIUO was nominated for Best Dance / Electronic Release at the Australian Independent Music Awards. Check out "Robo Booty" off S&G below... Slurp And Giggle (Addictech, July 2010)
Now, I'm a fan of good music before supporting local talent - thats just how i roll. But when the two combine, something tingly happens in my pants because I know that I have stumbled upon a big fat load of awesomeness. Listening to Triple J the other day, the boyface and I really were [...]
Here's a sample of quality, occasionally wacky dance tracks from the last few months, with a particular focus on some Bay Area and New York City producers that cull sounds from hip hop and Eastern Europe, among other sources and influences.Mochipet (Daly City, CA-based, born in Taiwan) produces glitchy, crunky, overloaded hip hop and performs while wearing a purple dinosaur costume. His remix of

I can't say I really dig breakbeat or any of the various bastardisations of drum and bass that seem so popular in Perth, Adelaide, New Zealand and smelly people's houses. I've had dalliances with Way Out West, and Luke's been schooling me in the art of High Contrast (which has been very pleasant). Pendulum weren't very nice when I interviewed them, so they can jump in a hole (and remix it badly) for all I care. But here's something on that tip really worth sharing - deviant, cheeky, bass ripping tunes from Melbourne. [...]

My predictions for the Nuggets were flat wrong last week. I'm left to root for Los Suns. This is what my NBA viewing has come down to. Sigh. When does the NFL training camp start? We have about a month to go for the World Cup to start, but the playing times are 8:30 AM or noon if I'm not mistaken. So who's ready for "Iron Man 23? My only beef with the movie is the continued use of Gwneth Paltrow. That chick has ZERO presence and KELIS - ACAPELLA (ACID WASHED [...]

opiuo - "king prawn" (stream-only) I can't speak highly enough about this compilation that Bay Area producer An-Ten-Nae has put together. There are some incredibly nasty beats on here from the likes of Ooah (Glitch Mob/PANTyRAiD), Marty Party (PANTyRAiD), Adam Freeland, Robot Koch, An-ten-nae himself, and more. I hadn't heard of Opiuo before this compilation, but I did some research and found this amazing EP , which you can name your price on (no minimum), and it blew me away. Keep an [...]
