"All good things must come to an end. If they don't, they eventually fizzle out unimpressively. And so just like the smartest bands who know it's best to call it a day when they've hit their peak. Great Stuff Recordings' stupidly successful Munich Disco Tech EP series comes to its last release: the 13-exclusive tracks of Volume 14: The Final Chapter. No less than 20 artists combine on this grand finale to provide an EP of highly effective house and techno styles, making for the perfect send-off for the series."

With lit cigarettes in hand and suave looks to boot, the Zeds Dead brothers are grander than ever, in 2012. Looks like hard work and dedication towards your first major release pays off. Or so it seems in the case of the release, 'Adrenaline' EP. Determination is the quality that clearly sings through each track, as creativity, excellent song composition, and production quality reign. If you're not sure on what to buy, below, you can read up on the tracks and listen at your leisure; enjoy the bass! 1. In The Beginning [...]
When Mañaneros' grandiloquent hit "El Volcán" came our way, I think we all cringed a bit. Here we had an out-of-nowhere band that was so loud and so monstrously into themselves that they had us saying, "Jeez! Chileans are also freakishly great at tribal." In a weird way, "El Volcán" officially took Chile's indie from an all-the-family pop scene into a prospecting and more diversified field. The four-piece act is prepping the release of their first EP, Levantate y Come , and has unveiled another badass single that intermingles tribal dub with merengue and polka. "Baby Tropical" is a [...]
Ever tempted to go travelling? To cancel your credit card, grow a silly beard and live out of a tatty rucksack for nine months? If so, you'd better to listen to this free new album by London act Flamingods (previously featured here ) - it's all about being brave enough to leave the western world behind, and live somewhere foreign and exotic. It's also absolutely ideal for listening during that bit of a house party where you sit with silent strangers around a mesmerising bonfire, sharing wholesome joints and smiling pointlessly.
There are a number of ways people use to "get back to nature". Some grab some camping gear and pitch a tent in the middle of a forest for a few days. Some strap on a back pack and hike amongst the indigenous flora and fauna. And some, well . . . some commune in the great outdoors by themselves or a very small group and strum the kantele and chant to the stars. The latter example may be a little on the extreme side of things or a overly simplistic explanation of what Syven are all about, [...]

A follow up to his joint effort Bock on Discobelle , Air Jamaica/Skinnydip is a bass heavy take on Buraka Som Sistema stylized tribal techno.

Interview: Willy Joy Down from The Windy City, Willy Joy, is fresh on the scene, but already making a name for himself as one of the the most genre-spanning, experimental artists out there, dropping everything from wispy bedroom jams like "Woman Like Me," to the bounciest of in-your-face moombahton drums, to massive deranged electro buzzers. He's just one of those guys who can do it all, but does it all differently, one of those producers who is entirely unconcerned with how a particular genre is "supposed" to sound and more concerned with burning the formula and giving our [...]
