Just catching up on some Vlsonn. - Follow Vlsonn: Facebook | Twitter | SoundCloud]]> text/html 2013-04-09T21:24:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4882093/kid-bassline-music-vlsonn-remix/
Toronto native Vlsonn has been making some noise (literally and figuratively) as of late with a superb remix on Holloh's debut EP and his equally superb Distribute //forth single. Now, he's back again with an absolutely phenomenal remix, this time on Kid Bassline & Thomas White 's new "White Kids" EP for Raw Records . Taking cues from 902s glitch, German techno, and UK garage, Vlsonn splays heavy mechanical clatter over a deep dubstep rhythm and warped vocal refrains. Better keep your eye on Vlsonn as he is destined for big things in 2013. Download the entire "White [...]]]> text/html 2012-10-14T19:03:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4565308/push-thru/
By Gerard Stricher Toronto based producer Vlsonn has some really exciting tunes in the works, but his "older" stuff is also relevant and enjoyable. "Push Thru", a rework of Talib Kweli, Curren$y and Kendrick Lamar, is a beautiful example of this. And it reminds me of " Pro 1000 " by The-Drum, so double win.]]> text/html 2012-04-24T20:51:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4222531/heartache-on-the-dancefloor/

If you've ever read XLR8R , Chicagoist or ventured out into Chicago nightlife even a little bit, then you're more than likely aware of the man that is Jake Guidry . Freelance writer to the aforementioned outlets and contributor/ resident to the Signal monthly party at SmartBar, Jake is all over the place. And with such a broad exposure comes an admirably refined palette; this becomes quite evident when skimming his Bizzies Mix track list. Aside from obviously popular artists like Jay Z, Kanye West and Gucci Mane, just about every featured track [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-15T21:34:39+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4064675/the-skinny/

The world of bass music is today graced with the start up of a new label. Canadian based Sincerious Recordings have generously decided to mark their official formation with the release of a free EP from Toronto based producer Vlsonn. Consisting of original track, Skinny along with a couple of remixes from Scottish techno head, [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-22T01:25:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4005063/earmilk-presents-only-at-night-vol-1/
It is my pleasure to announce the first volume of the Only At Night Releases. Only At Night (OAN) is a Toronto based promotions & music organization who's focused on thejuicyunderbelly of dance music. Shying away from the mainstage and lime lit acts that will dominate radio tours, OAN spends its time on intimiate parties, small venues and great djs - the latter being the real hardfast goal of the troupe. Volume 1 of the OAN LP releases is the first of many, in what should be a monthlyendeavouras it grows. Each volume, the OAN team [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-22T01:25:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4005083/earmilk-presents-only-at-night-vol-1/

Compiling these "Best of" posts is the most strenuous thing about the "blog game". So basically, since I'm sick of looking at this, just reference our lists to get a general feel for how we vibed out 2011. Also, and I think I can speak for Markus on this one too, the ranking on a lot of our tracks is pretty loose. Thanks and best of luck to you all in 2012.

Art by Michael Cina for Ghostly International For our first post of the new year, I'd like to share a down and dirty track from Vlsonn ; a remix he did for Blue Neptune . I'm not sure when this remix officially comes out or when it was posted on Soundcloud (it says posted about a year ago, shared 10 days ago), but its legitimacy is 1000% certified.Check that free download below and take a listen to Vlsonn's Bizzies Mix Series contribution from early last year [...]]]> text/html 2011-08-17T21:27:10+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3656945/this-beds-on-fire/
We can get behind any producer celebrating the 10-year anniversary of a Ginuwine track. Toronto's Vlsonn (Vlad Sonn) gives the 2001 Ginuwine classic "Differences" the 808 treatment, keeping the BPM right where it belongsslowand unleashing a heatwave of mechanical steam blasts from under satin sheets. Vlsonn lays down a whisper soft tone, through which he laces sub-bass pit-er-pat with the occasional synth sparkle. If you're otherwise unfamiliar with Vlsonn's production work, think deep, sexy R&B-fused beats with definite dark edges, and check his SoundCloud [...]]]> text/html 2011-05-23T21:48:22+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3462635/monday-music-23-may-2011/
Time to focus on the job. Monday Music's the weekly post where I temporarily abandon SOIWT's London-only focus... Thick Shakes - Go Back To New York Punks don't often encounter organs (not the religious kind, anyway), but Thick Shakes' rabble-rousing, armpit-dampening throwback meshes the two together in delicious delirium. The aforementioned instrument softens the otherwise 70s garage-rock squawkiness,making the record sound slightly faded and fuzzy. Go Back to New York by Thick Shakes [...]]]> text/html 2011-05-03T05:34:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3409941/mini-mix-series-v7/
In this day and age it seems pretty easy to throw a track together, slap your handle on it and email it to every blog on the internet with no BCC (aka a nightmare). While most submissions are a bust, it's artists like Vlsonn that the keep the wheels on this train going. The Toronto based Dubstep producer recently hit me up with this remix of James Blake's " I Never Learnt to Share " and an original called "Draped Up". I was so intrigued by these few tracks that I flat out asked him if he [...]]]> text/html 2011-04-18T03:54:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3372269/learning-to-share/
Quality quality quality tunes coming from Toronto's Vlsonn right now.Not only is his brand new original "Draped Up" an amazing demonstration of UK Funky/ Dub, but Jesus Christ... His remix of "I Never Learnt To Share" is out of this world. Top 10 Prospect even. Expect a Mini Mix and way more from this dude in the future.
