Inventive Italian producer Phonat is back with a brand new track titled Ride The Prejudice , which is his first original release since his Cockroaches EP in 2010. The single, off his upcoming EP Identity Theft, delicately weaves minimal electro beats and vocals together with atmospheric elements and crisp piano, leaving your senses stimulated and wanting more. It's filled with his signature laid-back, glitchy style, while also incorporating future garage elements in tune with Mofohifi label mate Bobby Tank. The result is soothing and uplifting all at once, making it instantly enjoyable and suited for any situation. The EP is set [...]
The man behind the mau5 known on SoundCloud as fuckmylife has obviously been quite busy in the studio, sharing four previews of new material via his page over the last two days. Among these, deadmau5 shared two crumbs of a collaboration with Kill The Noise last night, showcasing what he and the OWSLA bass specialist have apparently been toying with together. Killthemau5 opens with an atmospheric arrangement of strings and arpeggios sounding suspiciously identical to a [...]
![Seven Lions feat. Minnesota & Mimi Page – Fevers [OWSLA]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4961321_lg.jpg)
Legend Seven Lions has just graced us with another trance-turned-dubstep masterpiece, released on Skrillex's OWSLA imprint. Featuring Minnesota and Mimi Page, this collab titled Fevers has been in progress for about a year, with the producer taking a 7 month break after winning Above & Beyond's You Got To Go remix contest. Unbelievably, he's given it away for free on his Soundcloud. I urge everybody to listen to this bloke if you haven't already; he turns even the largest dubstep h8rs upside down.

One of my favorite electronic artists of all time, Michele Balduzzi , better known by his producer moniker, Phonat - has finally made his return to dance music. His ever changing electronic, glitch-type tunes were an iconic part of my college years. He makes his return on Skrillex's label imprint, OWSLA records with ' Ride The Prejudice ' - the first release on his 4-track EP, ' Identity Theft '. After nearly [...]
I caught up with David Heartbreak about his new release for OWSLA, The Foundation and asked him about the spirit of the music… DH: My music is meant to be played at raves, carnival, bashment, anymore... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Megalithic Italian producer Phonat , aka Michele Balduzzi, has ventured out quite a bit from his early days of producing beats at his earnest home in rural Tuscany. Having made a name for himself upon moving to London & dropping his groundbreaking self-titled debut in 2008, Phonat is now poised for total electronic world dominance with his upcoming EP, Identity Theft , out via OWSLA on June 4th. The 6-track recording meticulously fuses French house & funk with trip hop + downtempo to provide a musical experience that takes the listener on a genre defying aural journey. The [...]
The head of Secure Recordings , aka Bart B More , had been fairly quiet on the production aspect of things for the past few months. Besides his massive hit ' Jack ', we haven't heard many new, groovy tunes from Bart - as he's been focusing on collaborative efforts with Tommie Sunshine & RipTide (aka Horsepower ) and also furnishing his label with new acts and artists. But Bart took some time (an hour to be [...]
![David Heartbreak – The Foundation EP [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4951671_lg.jpg)
David Heartbreak is one of the most versatile producers of this generation. His latest release, The Foundation, proves that even more. David wanted to incorporate his roots for this album and it shows. He blends his Jamaican roots perfectly with Trap, Acid, and Electro. Best of all, the vibes on this EP fit perfectly with the weather. Here's what David had to say about his latest release: "The Foundation, is just that. It's me going back to my roots of dub, hip hop and acid. It's my modern take of decades of music I grew up with infused with electronic music (elements)." [...]
Splendid in every way - the work hardy Worthy finally comes to Aerial Noise via Skrillex’s label of pain (OWSLA) and his robust + acid-pleasing “Crickets & Joints EP.” Changing his game with ‘Crying Crickets’ and ‘The Joint,’ “Crickets & Joints EP” is for the underground groove-lovers and most definitely not the naysayers.

David Heartbreak's VIP is insanely fun. He switches BPM from 140 to 110. Half Dubstep & Half Moombahton, this VIP is infectious! -Filippo David Heartbreak On: Facebook | Twitter | SoundCloud No related posts.
Sydney Trap bro's What So Not have a new Ep on the way. "The Quack" Out June 14th is the result of some studio time a few months back with American rapper Action Bronson. The Dub Version of the track (available to buy in about a week) had its world premier on Mark Ronson’s radio show "Authentic Sh*t" a few days back and let me assure you, this one's a bangor! Australian label Sweat It Out are taking responsibility for local distribution and OWSLA label owner Skrillex was so down he's decided to take it to the rest [...]
The latest Nest exclusive comes from San Francisco producer, Worthy. This EP features two kick-ass tracks! Here's what Worthy had to say about his latest release: " I am really excited to have OWSLA give me the opportunity to share some of my beats with you all. In the process of writing my new album, I created these two high energy songs. Let me tell you firsthand that I have been playing these out for months now and both tracks are absolute killers in my sets. The Joint is a track that melds banging tom drums and 808s [...]
As OWSLA boss Skrillex preps to perform as Jack U with Diplo for this summer's Mad Decent Block Party , his label continues prepping for summer releases. The hip-hop rooted, dub based David Heartbreak is next in the lineup, poised for a mid-month release of "Raindrops," a collaboration with The Netherlands' The Party Squad and EDM's go-to vocalist Skylar Grey . Though Heartbreak uses a hip-hop bassline and hard hi-hats, Grey's vocals seem to stop the track short of trap, and the synth string melody keeps the tune more chill than trill. [...]
Coiffured by Vidal Sassoon, and styled over with more Brylcreem than you can smooth through the heads of a barbershop quartet.. David Heartbreak / OWSLA open up their initial embed teaser with the radio-friendly ‘Raindrops’ - accompanied by Stereotronique’s power-house podcast for May 2013, Marcus Schossow’s Tony Diary 263, and Enhanced Music’s latest instalment through trance oracles: Juventa, Karanda, Jaco, Mike Nichol, Weepee and Schodt.

Keeping in tune with the line up announced in phases trend, Electric Zoo just announced more headlining artists to the three-day festival taking place over Labor Day Weekend on August 30, August 31, and September 1. We dig that Electric Zoo is once again doing that label showcase takeover. On Friday, August 30, the hard-hitting duo of Skrillex and Boys Noize join forces as Dog Blood to curate the Riverside Tent with a Boys Noize Records & OWSLA showcase. For the rest of the weekend, Riverside sees the return of two world-renowned electronic music tastemakers: A-Trak’s [...]
Created in collaboration with Mark Yardley of Stanton Warriors, "Ilium" was released Owsla last month as part of Alex Metric's new Ammunition Pt. 3 EP. You've probably already heard the magic of his production wizardry in " Scandalism ," one of four tracks on the masterful EP, and arguably the best. But there's nothing like matching visuals with sounds to create an entirely new experience, which is exactly what you get with the video for "Ilium." It's a futuristic journey into space, and at the same time, a [...]
OWSLA’s next episode of audio mutilation is handled by Brooklyn’s David HeartBreak (across 6 tracks of tempo-electro-bass) and London’s NAPT who score a housey homerun with ‘The Return,’ ’55 East’ and ‘The Dockers.’ Cable nightclub in the UK is yet another London nightclub to add to the list which has closed its doors, but with the likes of NAPT and Heartbreak bringing in the masses, the nocturnal landscape after 11pm is in safe hands. “The Foundation” EP by David Heartbreak is out on 14 May 2013.

The latest treat for Nest users is a VIP from Melbourne producer Nick Thayer. Nick had this to say about his latest release: " Hey Nest Family! Here's a VIP I did of the 'What Props Ya Got' track from my Like Boom EP. The original was my attempt at exploring what happens when you put moombahton and drumstep / drum and bass together, so I fleshed that idea out a little more for this VIP." -Filippo Nick Thayer On: Facebook [...]
The boys from NAPT are showing no signs of slowing down in 2013. Their recent releases on Strictly Rhythm and Fool's Gold have catapulted these legends back into the limelight of dance music. Returning with The Dockers EP , NAPT gives us a three track project that blends the lines of several genres from classic funkadelic house, to heavy percussion beats, to even garage house elements. All in all, the OWSLA released EP is all over the place - in just the right [...]
