Running a site like this, one thing is for sure; you have to care. I work full time and then spend the majority of my spare time painstakingly checking features, making sure that everything is in its right place, that the pictures look good, that youtube embed codes have the correct ratio... Yep, it gets that exciting. But it does matter. It matters because it's a representation of me - and our contributors - and if I get to the point where I'm half-assed about it then there really isn't any point in doing it anymore. The [...]
Alex Burkat aka Rx popped up on our radars a couple of years ago with his free 'Bumble' EP for Nightshifters which threatened to break not just their website, but the ENTIRE internet. He's been playing to bigger and bigger crowds and selling more and more records ever since. There's not a huge amount of information out there about the self-titled album but you can watch the video for the lead single 'Fox Grindin' below. If that track's anything to go by, this should be a ghetto-inspired collection of downtempo techno with [...]
![Rx - Orbit [Tour Dates]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4151681_lg.jpg)
Rx : Official | Facebook | Twitter I've been playing Rx's track "Orbit" over and over for the past 30 min or so. I "discovered" the track through Dubspot's latest video showing a time lapse of their 3rd floor expansion . It took me quite some time to track down the artist online. Rx has been working w/ dubspot professor + dmc champion extraordinaire DJ Shiftee to create some really interesting bass music. The track "Orbit" is from their 2011 release titled, "Space Ace" [Purchase @ Beatport ], which [...]

Rx and Shiftee follow up their successful "Space Ace" EP for Rad Summer with a collection of stellar remixes!: Rad Summer's second release of the 2012 finds the label revisiting it's best charting release of 2011: "Space Ace" by Rx and Shiftee. RS007 is a collection of remixes of the "Space Ace" EP from producers Archie Pelago, Lamin Fofana, Wonder, and Zeppy Zep. With the remixes spanning big bassline dubstep to stompy techno, "Space Ace Remixes" EP is a well rounded trip through the galaxy of dance music that never lingers in one place [...]
The heatwave from Rad Summer continues with the label's fourth release "Space Ace", a 3 track scifi bass EP from producers Rx and Shiftee. The opening and title track "Space Ace" is an epic collaboration by the two producers that literally feels like a UFO lifting off. Rx's solo contribution "Orbit" follows with a groovy bassline and quirky sample that invokes data transmissions from satellites. Rounding out the EP is a "Landing Boots", Shiftee's melodic downtempo composition. Rx and Shiftee are a new production duo hailing from New York with several individual accomplishments. [...]

Tri Angle - Out Now Some artists become victims of their own hype - the most recent example being Lana Del Ray who's backlash was indeed inevitable, all the same it came at unprecedented speed (as documented by Breaking More Waves ). Sometimes it's not artists but entire genres that become entangled in a barrage of snapping criticism on the blogosphere/twittersphere - like chillwave, or witch house. It's funny to think that Balam Acab was at one stage at the forefront of the generally broad witch house scene, with [...]
Our good pal Rx has just sent us this new track 'Bang Yer Head'. I've got to say, well. I'm not exactly sure what to say other than Burkat manages to perfect the Wall Of Sound-step. If you can imagine being punched in the face by a subwoofer, it would feel like that times a million. It's always exciting to hear people explore the heavier sides of club music as well as the more melodic and atmospheric. Employing the "Go!" sample that has pervaded club and rave music pretty much since year dot, Rx makes it [...]
Once again, we're slightly late on this one but it's worth the wait. Originally from Philadelphia but now living in Brooklyn, Rx has been consistently ahead of the game, putting EPs and singles such as the free 'Bumble' EP on Nightshifters and the 'Kaleidoscope Island' EP on Subdepth. The 'Bumble' EP he released last year on Nightshifters was a free release that threatened to break the NS servers! 2000 hits in one day tells you this guy draws a serious crowd for a very good reason. As bass music takes a darker turn, incorporating [...]

mestizo - "let it spray" (stream-only) I'm not sure how I slept on Mestizo for so long. I'd heard his name tossed around for years, and recently heard him as half of Humansuit (with Isaiah Toothtaker ), but never got around to actually checking out his solo stuff. Last week, listening to SergDun's awesome Werdemup podcast , this song popped up at around 45 minutes in. I asked Serg what it was, and he gave me the scoop. This [...]
