Alright, I've got something a little different for you today, I know I say that everyday but this time I couldn't mean it more.
Lets start of by saying I couldn't find a flattering picture of these guys, at all, on the internet, which is insane, also I'm still not completely decided whether its one or two artists, that being said on to the music. Nero's Day At Disneyland, is/are an electric/glitch/breakcore solo/duo from Oakland California, yeah breakcore. Have a read there, or just understand that its a style of electronic music largely influenced by D n' B, Glitch and IDM, you might want to look those up too. Confusion aside I first heard their songs "No Money Down, Low Monthly Payments" and "Child Protective Services Theme Song" off the album From Rotting Fantasylands after I couldn't stand not knowing the name of Pewdiepie's intro song, since then I've been scaring my friends and family with the some of the best IDM I have in my arsenal. Before we get too far lets give you an example of how powerful this music is, as we speak I can't control my legs and yesterday I seriously thought I was the Joker and asked everyone on campus if they knew where I could find Batman. Let me put it in layman's terms, THIS MUSIC WILL FRACTURE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS.
You guys remember the 70's right? Yeah neither do I but apparently they've infiltrated electronic music. 1200 Micrograms, is an psychedelic trance act from Ibiza, and that guy with the glasses is the frontman, Raja Ram, I'm pretty sure I read that right. Now before you start questioning my credibility lets just say that I only heard about these guys last night when my roomate decided it would be a good idea to play Black Ops and listen to trance, maybe not such a good idea. Originally obtained via a torrent compilation called the Time Machine, the tracks I have are from all over the place so I'm just going to link you to their first album and from there your life is your own. Their self titled album, 1200 Micrograms is nine tracks in length and was released in 2002, and please for the love of Talos don't look up the album art, its embarrassing. Apparently all went well when it was released because they released a further SEVEN albums, all just as crazy and drug fueled, that being said the tracks I have are top notch one of them even contains samples from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so grab it up and don't tell your parents.
There's a very unfortunate amount of amazing electronic music staring at me from my downloads folder these days. Unfortunate because at this rate I'll have dug myself into a new computer by the time I realize I haven't posted a fraction of it. So today I thought why not step the production up a bit, we'll have three artists and just make the run-on sentences a bit shorter. So if you came here looking for dubstep you'd better get your bass face on.
Many a moon ago you may remember when we had a great track by Ooah, one half of PANTyRAiD, the other half being MartyParty. Today we have an amazing collaberation by Marty and dubstep producer Minnesota , Deathstar. They recently dropped their amazing debut EP, Ultraviolet Halo.
Self proclaimed future bass music this EP is an amazing combination of dubstep, electric, and glitch. Both producers are extremely talented and I love when artists come together and make music like this. You can still hear their individual sounds, but when you combine them, its a whole other class of awesome. Sampling many notable songs and keeping the bass down low, this is definitely worth your time.
I don't mind saying it, I am in no way doing this genius one ounce of justice with this review. Ladies and gentlemen the talent of today's post, from Leicester, UK, Thomas Slinger, Gemini. 21 year old Thomas just made his mark on the scene early this year with a plethora of amazing remixes and his debut EP, Blue.
This four track banger of an EP is up there in my charts for best debut of the year and thats saying something. I'm almost at a loss for words, this is why I love the internet. I stumbled across the EP one day when I was cruising Dubfuckingstep.blogspot.com and it was love from the first note. So don't let me ruin this album for you, hit it from Mediafire above, and don't forget to check out his facebook for two amazing remixes.
Our last artist today is Warsaw's own, Eryk Kowalczyk, (glad I don't have to pronounce that) or Xilent as he is known. This track jumped out at me from a very talent encrusted montage and of course who can say no to a link for a free download?
I have the odd feeling that I know this song from somewhere and I'm having a bit of trouble finding links to albums but if any of you have the time or patience to find me some links hit me here and I'll update the post. For now you'll have to go with me saying that the classification of futurestep is working for this song, love it. Check out his Facebook or website for more info.
Aftter much deliberation I decided to post early today although I have many a project on the go. I have an exam in a couple of hours, I'm working on a couple new playlists and formulating ideas for posts later this week. We're also trying out some new formatting if you couldn't tell, and will be adding new features as we progress. Tomorrow will either be our first Hardcore or Hardstyle Humpday, and after that who knows.
Toxic Tuesday, a quick look at the stats shows that this is one of our most popular weekly posts, and today won't dissapoint. So get your bassfaces on and lets get to the drop.
Our first artist today is Azedia, a dubstep, trance, chillstep, artist from London. Again not very well known but do a little surfing and you can find and you'll be surprised what you'll find. For me that surprise was his new remixtape which was just dropped on the 20th. His music is a beautiful mix between dubstep and trance, which you might not think would work. The album contains remixes of Rhianna, Ellie Goulding, James Blake and more. Head on over to his MySpace Or Facebook for updates and more info.
Our second artist today goes by many names. He is one third of the Glitch Mob, half of Pantyraid, and has his own music out as Of Porcelain and Ooah. I've known of the Glitch Mob for years, and I was big on their stuff on high school but besides Edit I didn't bother to know the names of the other two DJs. Big mistake. Ooah and Borreta are just as good on their own as Edit is, but when they come together their sound fills stadiums and draws crowds from across the world.
Probably my favourite part of todays article and what finally pushed me to make another Toxic Tuesday is Optimus Gryme. Probably the first dubstep artist that I heard, and most assuredly the reason I still listen. Besides having and amazing name, Optimus Gryme is a dubstep pioneer, dropping hour long remixes that so perfectly showcase everything that is dubstep. Check out his Facebook and Website, and subscribe to his mailing list to receive monthly links to new tracks and promos.
*Thanks again for taking time to check us out. This track should push us to at least 400 page views, which is a mental amount in almost two weeks. Keep checking back for more great music and don't forget to like us on Facebook to comment or suggest.
