Major tunage from A-Trak & Zinc. Get buck.

It's been two and a half months since the last one of these. 70-something days and CG and I haven't heard a thing from anyone about their absence, which just proves to me that you people have no desire or appreciation for dance music. We, however, could only stay away for so long. You're just going to have to deal with it. Skip over the post and listen to your "more sophisticated" indie rock and hold on to those "I only listen to hip-hop" mentalities. We don't give a shit. 10 new songs. Blaow. [...]

Zinc's been quiet on the production front of late and as the year draws to a close he has two big 'uns set for release. Available now is the absolutely huge collab with A-Trak - "Stingray". Packing in some classic Zinc breaks alongside the huge hook you'd expect from A-Trak, it's been packing floors for a few months now and you can finally get your grubby mits on it via Beatport . Zinc & A-Trak - Stingray Set for release next week on the 19th [...]

Leave it up to A-Trak and the fabled DJ Zinc to bring breaks back with a track like Stingray . The latest release on Fool's Gold Records features the title track along with a remix by original dubstepper Benga , making for a really original and unique EP considering the current landscape of EDM. The willingness to stretch the boundaries and push new (or in this case old) sounds back into the EDM fray is exactly why labels like Fools Gold and Mad Decent get mad respect from us at SL. Lovin' [...]

It's no secret that I have a soft spot for hard, heavy beats (nothing touches your heart and gets you feeling sentimental like angry blender sounds -- but really, they bring back some good memories). Benga 's been rocking the hard, heavy stuff well lately, as we saw in his tracks on Scion's recent free EP with Benga and BFF Skream . Now, he's taken a similar style and applied it to a remix of A-Trak and Zinc 's upcoming breakbeat track "Stingray" (out on Fool's Gold tomorrow), and boy do these stings [...]

If you know about Ego Thieves, you should know we definitely aren't all about 'Dubstep' and have a vast mix collection to prove otherwise. And DJ Zinc is a huge favorite of ours! His 'Crack House' EPs have been epic, and this cracked out continuation doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. Check out this sampler from the 'Sprung' EP out this month on the Rinse label.
