This weeks Fire Friday Mix is actually a Brostep mix. As much as I don’t feel Brostep at all, I feel like it’s necessary to add some to the blog considering lots of traffic to the site comes from Dubstep queries. Chrispy has become one of the better known UK Brostep producers with heavy grime and filthy remixes. I feel that Chrispy deserves more attention as I rarely hear any of his tunes played out and does have some banging tunes that should be played out.

This mix isn’t comprised of all originals but he chooses tracks wisely and mixes so well together. Expect to hear tunes from the biggest names in this mix which include Nero, Bar9, Datsik, Excision, Caspa, & Subscape.

I will say this brostep mix has been great to raise my heart rate to get some work done early in the morning. Hope you enjoy. Just remember keep everything in moderation… Especially Brostep!

MartyParty is Marty Folb and is originally from South Africa. Marty came to the States 15 years ago and has been on a mission ever since then! The music that is produced by this man is breathe taking! The amount of rhythm and groove that is put into is stunning. His high synths are clearly recognizable and layered with the perfect amount of bass. I recently just played a show in NY and dropped 2-3 tunes of his and every single person in that room felt each one of them.

He has taken the west coast by storm with his electric energy live. This man truly is one of my biggest role models. Never have I seen anyone with such power play a crowd. Every single show I preform at I think of the videos of Marty at Cervantes in CO and the quick glances I got front center at Lightning in a Bottle 2010 with all the women dancing on top of the subs blocking the view. You can see on his face and his movements that he truly loves what he does and loves feeding from everyone around him as every engulfs every inch of the dancefloor.

I’m proud to announce MartyParty is due out with a release in the near future. The new release is called Skukuza EP being put out by The Confluence. Marty is about to start a tour around the States. He is about to go on tour all around the US with legends The Glitch Mob. The tour begins here in Fort Lauderdale on August 30th! I can’t wait to rage! South Florida has never experienced a sound like MartyParty before and I can’t wait to look back and be proud to know that this sound and energy is making its way to the East Coast.

Get Ready For MARTYPARTY!

This week we are graced to have a new Fire Friday Mix! Ana Sia was in one of the Glitch.fm djs studio for a show! This past Sunday the Salvage Future show hosted by Thirsty and Bertzerker brought in the lovely Ana Sia and she totally rocked it!

Ana Sia has recently put out a new EP, International Profile,  on the infamous Muti Label. She has been working closely with the one and only phat conductor, ill gates! The first track caught my ear. Be sure to pick up the release!

Got to give tons of respect to Ana Sia for all she does. It can be tough in an industry where it’s mainly all male driven. I’ve personally met her but have only heard good things. She apparently had encouraged Epcot to come hang out during WMC when he recorded a show with us. Big thanks to her on that one considering Epcot had a lot of knowledge to drop on me about promoting and doing events.

Grab the free mix! Ana Sia Live Mix on Glitch.fm!

We all have heard and made our own feelings about Drink the Sea, The Glitch Mobs first debut full length album. Now after rinsing it out on vinyl the Mixtape is finally out! Мишка is who officially has released this Drink the Sea part 2! This mixtape is ultimately a hip-hop/pop mash up of the Drink the Sea album. Well known hip-hop/rap/pop artist featured in the mix include Nas, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, MIA, Dr. Dre, Daft Punk, Birdman, Drake, and La Roux.

This is the sound we’ve all come to love and recognize The Glitch Mob as one of the defining Glitch Hop artist out there. I don’t think anyone can complain about this one. Boreta, edIT, and Ooah are clearly on top of the game and no one can deny it. This possibly could become bigger than Drink the Sea.

I’m now beyond excited to be catching them LIVE August 30th here in Fort Lauderdale! I’m hoping they incorporate some of these mash ups into their live show. I personally love the energy that has been recreated with these tunes. Who knows maybe a special live performance with some of the featured mash up artist doing some of these tracks live would be INSANE.

Something tells me there might be some trouble getting this release so I’ve decided to host a copy on my server =)

I decided that there wasn’t a place where you could find lovestep or sexstep on soundcloud. Took the initiative and started a new group, Lovestep | Sexstep is a location where producers and the like can share their tracks or mixes. There can never be enough of this. Please share this with all your friends who into making deep sexy tunes that put you in that mood. Also any of your favorite mixes that you get down to =)

Hopefully this group will flourish <3

Mimosa just released a two track masterpiece, Love EP. He has just announced another release to be put out by Muti, Silver Lining LP! Two tracks have been put on his soundcloud to preview. The first done is absolutely stunning and has such a grooving sexy vibe that we’ve all come to love from Tigran. The second tune has a bit more aggresive style that we haven’t heard from him. These two tunes completely balance each other extremely well though. I can’t wait to see if another tracks will appear on his release. Enjoy the FREE Nelly Country Grammar remix as well from Tigran above!

Sexy new vibe!

Bringing the filfth!

There has been a great influx of fantastic music going around. A few of my producer friends that I’m contact with have put out some banging tunes together in the recent weeks. I figure I put this together instead of posting a Fire Friday Mix!

I wanted to share with you all some of the music I’ve been jamming out too. As time progresses it seems like more and more are jumping into this whole bassy glitch scene and at the sametime the producers who have been around keep getting better.

Hope you enjoy as much as I have!

Cottonmouth  is Olly Edgecombe and resides near Bristol, UK.  Olly is well educated and uses excellent grammar, says please and thank you, and fathers would be happy if he dated their daughters (LOL). Cottonmouth, on the other hand, is a raving lunatic whose dubstep tracks have dark, screaming basslines, sinister drum programming, and disturbing melodies add all of this together and the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde routine is complete. At the end of the day Olly has truly become a person in my book. We’ve exchanged messages plenty of times and he’s always on point. I’ve been stalling this post for awhile now and glad to finally have put this one together to share with everyone.

Olly has been making music since he was 14. He started the whole game when he got into drum n bass, which consumed him. Now his taste in music has been cultivated and openned up to new things such as dubstep, electronica, electro, IDM, and much more.

Olly took a six year hiatus ever since a near death skate accident. He’s back now and making quite the name for himself. His soundcloud has absolutely exploded and he’s on the way to the top of the dubstep game in the UK.

If the stapedius (ear) is the smallest muscle in the body, Cottonmouth’s tunes will ensure that even the largest muscle in the body, the gluteus maximus (ass) will be unable to hold still and start shaking of it’s own accord.

His debut release, Wake Up, is out today on Permanent Damage Records.
Preview the release below and check out an extra goodie below.

1.“Moving On” opens by paying homage to that pioneer of dubstep, Johann
Sebastian Bach, with its contrapuntal fugue intro. If that sounds like another
language, not to worry: the bass drops hard, and we’re off to the three-legged
dubstep races.

2.“Chinese Breakaway” cranks up the intensity and turns the dubstep wobble
inside out with constant variations over a heavy beat that would make John
Bonham tap his toes and Rick Allen clap his hands.

3.“Stompbox” uses vocal samples and a simple hook to build to several
climaxes, and is a surefire dancefloor mover.

4.Closing with the aptly named “Faceslap,” Cottonmouth leaves us wanting
more. The unsettling melody and changing rhythms keep us on our toes until
the final wobbly bass note echoes into nothingness.

Check out his next big release. This tune is vibing and rumor has it will be featured on BBC Radio.

Love and Light is Probiotik & 4Centers. Reno, Nevada is their home and they’re putting a place on the map right now. They’ve been on a huge up and up in the past couple months. The duo has been putting out banging remixes and putting so much love into everything. The main tipping point for them has been two The Beatles remixes.

The success of the track has caught the attention of everyone including the one and only MartyParty. The duo and Marty have been working in the background on a remix of their own, Roxanne! You’re favorite drinking game song has officially been whomped out to your delight. Massive respect to Matt and Ryan.

Decibel Festival is celebrating it’s 7 year in 2010. I’ll never forget last year hearing about it and all the amazing talent that was attending. Decibel is one giant conference of parties spanning through 5 days. There are many venues associated with the conference holding different events every night. The showcases at DB are to die for.

This years line up is nothing short of spectacular. Headlining this years conference is none other than Modeselektor! There are endless amounts of talent to check out. This will be my first year attending and have been looking forward to this event ever since I went to Lightning in a Bottle. Seattle’s bass scene is comprised of some of the most welcoming people on the planet.

Here is a video that was put together to recap last years DB Festival. As the years progress the event just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
