Toxic Tuesday 1 (19/04/2011)

     Its hard to rhyme anything with tuesday or even connect any words with it to make some kind of fun day out it, but tuesdays are just tough, thus toxic tuesday. The title happens to be the scond contribution from a future publisher and dear friend to be introduced soon enough, the first contribution happens to be reminding me about DJ JewBoy for mashup monday yesterday.

     So on to Toxic Tuesday, this week we have a trio of bangers for you. These tracks may be from last week, but that doesn''t turn down the hype one bit. We'll start off with the less known track, by Pyramid, a french electro producer from Lyon who just dropped his new EP, Hall. This EP has the backing of electro legend Busy P and is now available on iTunes and Juno, so head there for more.






     I myself just discovered this artist last week when it was posted on GQAC and from the moment I first heard it I knew I had to share it. It does something most electro songs can't or at least won't do, relax you. When you think electro you usually think club music and dancing, not to say that this track doesn't have an infectious beat, its just an intelligent beat. This track makes you think, and although it is subtle it is undoubtably french, give it a listen and you'll hear the difference. I have about four more songs by Pyramid, comment for the links.
 




     Once  again we have a hot track from the dubstep king, Skrillex, this one you may have heard about or maybe the new Mortal Kombat game it was released for. This is reptiles theme, and let me say this, there is no way I'm not playing as Reptile whenever I hit this game. For a game score I can't believe this hasn't been done before, I mean Congorock, Skrillex, JFK, Felix Cartal and Run DMT all in one soundtrack? This is one energy packed adrenaline rush of a song that won't have any moral qualms about speeding up your tuesday, and dropping the bass down an octave or three, enjoy.





     Our last track is that of Guilt, by a duo (Dan Stephens & Joe Ray) from the island, Nero. This track features vocals by Alana, Nero's main source of amazing samples since 2008's This way, which is conincedentaly when Nero first went main stream, dropping one of the hottest dubstep, drum and bass songs of the year. Give it a listen and a special place on your MP3 player, and we'll be back tomorrow with more auditory magic. Cheers, Ed.
