You Bred Raptors? has been on my radar for a while now. With a reference to what may be my favorite movie of all time, how could they not be! Jurassic Park references aside , YBR? is an experimental instrumental band from Queens with a penchant for masks. If you live in NYC, you may even have seen YBR? as you've navigated the subways. The band has played many times in stations throughout the system as part of Music Under New York. Playing a recent headlining show at [...]

Para muchas personas el tema de creación musical es todo un misterio, sobre todo cuando no se tiene una base sólida en lo que a teoría de composición y producción se refiere. Aunque hay muchos artistas que absorben estos conocimientos de manera empírica, están por otro lado aquellos fanáticos de la música que, si bien tienen grandes melodías en la cabeza, no tienen las habilidades necesarias para poder plasmarlas en un proyecto para después convertirlas en una canción. Ableton Live 9 puede ser la solución para todos aquellos en esta situación. Como parte de las [...]
Bristol bass music impresarios Dodge & Fuski have finally released their eagerly awaited “Sucker Punch EP” on top notch UK bass label Never Say Die Records . The duo’s fifth EP features three new tracks, “Sucker Punch,” “Never Let Me Go” and “Substance Abuse.” For UKF, "Sucker Punch" is the highlight of this EP, having uploaded it to their YouTube, but for us "Never Let Me Go" is probably the highlight.... we love the drum & bass surprise. All in all, each and every track is HEAVY and it's a huge standout EP [...]

Avec Mars is Heaven ( lire ), paru en novembre de l'année 2011 via La Station Radar , Ela Orleans semblait atteindre un point d'équilibre fragile et miraculeux entre trame narrative, homogénéité de l'écriture et indicible beauté des arrangements. Une excursion baignée d'apesanteur dans les méandres duveteuses et accidentées d'une adaptation d'un conte fantastique écrit par Ray Bradbury, doublée d'un accomplissement personnel et artistique maturé en prolongement d'une prolixe discographie débutée quatre ans plus tôt avec l'aride Low Sun / High Moon - réédité récemment en version cassette par Clan Destine Records ( lire ). Mais les apparences sont souvent trompeuses et la polonaise résidant [...]

We first got our hands on the music of JODY a few days ago, instantly impressed by their unique sound. While we originally reported this was a three-member group, it is now being noted that it could be as much as six. Most of the project sees production from The-Drum, who has swept us up in the past with infectiously dark backing tracks for the likes of Haleek Maul and more. Anyway, Magique is six songs long, but three happen to just serve as skits. That leaves us with three musical cuts, [...]
Magique by JODYAccording to JODY producer Brandon Boom, their new six-person R&B group is named after the mythic character Joe D. Grinder, "who, while you are away at war or prison, would sleep with your ... read more

Nicole Barille and Sam Meister have visually scribed a stunning and surreal sci-fi mythology in this mini-movie video epic directed by Sam himself.
CRIMINAL INTENT is a drum&bass act consisting of two bass crazy brothers .... and these guys are back with the "Smoke Signal" EP which is definitely some of the best work we've seen from them yet. The release contains two neurofunk tracks which are a perfect dark and sinister blend of bleeding bass and funky beats . Buy the release on Beatport here! Also be sure to check out Brainshakaz' remix competition - [...]

Chicago production duo The-Drum first piqued our attention through their production work Barbados MC Haleek Maul and their profile has soared since then. Yesterday, we caught the duo's remix of Shy Girls' "Under Attack" and were immediately drawn in by its overwhelming sensuality. Honestly though, Yours Truly said it better than we ever could : It’s the last dance of the night and you’re hoping she hasn’t noticed the thudding in your chest through the fabrics of your two shirts. You’re holding her close and barely moving, waiting urgently for the song to end but [...]

Danny Wahlfeldt dispels a bit of mystery about Grave Babies in this lively and congenial interview.

The Hood Internet has been releasing new music pretty regularly these days. Today I have a mash-up of two very different artists. Taking the vocals from Aesop Rock's "Zero Dark Thirty" and fusing it with the synthtastic tune "The Drum" by Ohama, The Hood Internet has brought us "Zero Drum Thirty". I would consider both to be excellent songs on their own but when put together make something special.

Words: Saam Das I'm not quite sure what's going on with The Drums at the moment but it appears to be full steam ahead for their frontman Jonny Pierce as he goes on a solo vaunt. Having guested on tracks for several other bands of late, Pierce is set to release his debut solo album shortly. Listen to a couple of tracks set to appear on the record below. Pierce collaborated with [...]
We haven't yet had a full-on drum&bass NoiseCast , so here to debut the genre to NoiseCasts is the immensely talented Kumarachi . We love the progression Kumarachi takes with this mix - there are ambient moments building up to rocking drum&bass, followed by darker dubstep tones. Kumarachi has achieved considerable success – and quite uniquely, in the realm of synch placements with major companies like MSN. His music has been recognized by BBC Radio extensively, Rinse FM, Bassdrive Radio, plus Kumarachi is a resident DJ on Rogue FM. This exposure has helped him to obtain these [...]

This time, they give you the stems of the newest forthcoming tune from DIOPTRICS. To celebrate the Apocalypse EP they have chosen to toss [...]

Dark electro with a cow bell - this is the new track from CASHMERE CAT 'Aurora'. Where 'Mirror Maru' was uptempo, drumrolled house, this is more minimalist and sombre in tone. A lone beat kicks into ominous synth, and heavy gongs slice up the dirge. It features a killer drum line which is used to glorious effect, overcast by a foreboding synth. Where his earlier work included remixes of the likes of DRAKE and LANA DEL REY , there are no pop hooks here. 'Aurora' [...]

Chicago-based group, JODY, consists of The GTW, David Robertson, Khallee Standberry-Lois, Cole Johnson and production duo The Drums. Their first single " Echos " was featured here about two weeks ago and today the Nu-Soul/R&B collective has release yet another smooth record in the form of "Floodin", a spaced-out and blissful track that hypnotizes the listener with melodic vocals by The GTW and Standberry-Lois and a fitting instrumental. Shouts to FACT Mag on the premiere.
An M.C. and a drummer...simple words for the complex musical experience that is Hector Bizerk . Formed just over two years ago and originally comprising of seasoned rapper Louie and equally experienced drummer Audrey Tait they've made massive inroads into the Scottish music scene with their unique blend of Audrey's creative and complimentary drumming style amplifying Louie's complex socio-political flows. Hang on I'm starting to sound like [...]
