I’ve been asked by a few people what are the events that I’m considering on going to this Winter Music Conference in Miami for 2010. WMC can get a bit wild and you never want to miss someone you’d want to see and found out about it too late (Rusko LIVE at Apple Store 2009). Right now this is what I’ve collected so far.
Just got an e-mail last night from Mussck about a new release from his brother, Subtitle. Mussck produced the music and Robby Massey directed a video for it and all. Even as I write this and stare at the screen I have deja vu. Now I know what was missing from this memory, the music.
LA Cita Strobe EP is the first release that Subtitle puts out. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I saw the title but wow totally shocked how banging this tune is, Leggings are the Style of the Day. Good to see brothers team up together and putting something out.
Now we’re talking, Inaudible really shows how Gltich Hop should sound!
First of all I can’t understand how Dov keeps finding all these gems and releases them via Muti Music, the quality of all his releases is very high.
Inaudible hails from Great Britain and I must say that’s it’s a rather new name for me, I’ve seen the name around but I believe this is the first time I had the opportunity to listen to his music. On “Corporate Propaganda” Inaudible gives us three hardhiting tunes yet the bear a real melodic and groovy sound to them, just as as I want this music to be. The music resembles a bit of that The Glitch Mob is doing both as a band and as soloartists.
This could very well be one of 2010’s best electronic release cause I utterly and truly love the sound that Inaudible and presented to his audience.
Recently I’ve forgotten to put a featured Friday mix.
Luckily I remembered today and went out for a mix that contained orgininality. Been really digging mixes that have slow build ups and then out of no where it hits with some dubstep and glitch hop.
This mix takes you on a real sweet journey. Big ups to Psymbionic on this one.
Tracklist:
1. Reso - Hemisphere
2. Eskmo - Sister, You Have Got To Listen
3. PantyRaid - Enter The Machine
4. Mimosa - Dead Like Me
5. Siren - What a Life
6. Sub Swara - Hi Fidelity (ill.gates Remix) vs. Kraddy - Forget About Dre Instrumental
7. Klone - A Lot Kooler
8. FreddyTodd - Can’t Fathom This (NastyNasty Remix)
9. Product 1 - Ready2Rage (Bassnectar and Jantsen Remix)
10. Mochipet - Godzilla New Year (Vibesquad Remix)
11. The Widdler - Slow Dance Chubby vs. Seventh Swami - Escape Artists
12. Opiuo - Nun Cha Ka
13. Heyoka - Borscht
14. Bassnectar - Boombox (Bassnectar Remix) vs. Eprom - 64 Bytes (Eprom Remix)
15. Bird of Prey and Chillax’n - Pipe Dream
Mimosa is at it again bringing heavy original joints into solid mixing. After releasing more of a dubstep chill vibe on recent EP release he shows us all he still got the bass flowing out with his signature glitchy highs and booming bass.
This man is soaring to the top of the list. I’ll never forget when first heard his tracks over year ago now and thinking wow I want to see this guy live! This mix is a prime example of what I want to be doing in the future. Be able to just play all tracks that I’ve done and just rock out yet have emotions attached no matter how low the freq go.
Track List:
1. MiM0SA - iN Search of Beauty
2. PantyRaid vs. MiM0SA - Chaos Control

Mimosa is one of my favorite artists on Muti Music for sure. But I really don’t know what to think about this one. I can’t say it’s bad but it’s not the Mimosa that I’m used to hear. Mimosa has focused less on the bass this time and implemented a more sound a bit more influenced from ordinary Dub music.
“Psychedelic Stereo” is by no means a bad record but I don’t get the same wicked feeling that I got from the last output “Flux for Life”, but that one on the other hand was one of my absolute favorites when it comes to this kind of music. I assume that “Flux for Life” was such a bomb that my expectations for this one was somewhat to high.
We get four new tracks; the titel track, “Pandora”, “The Keys to the City” and “Julia’s Labyrith”.
All and all a good release from Mimosa and Muti but not the as good as I had hoped for.
Alright here is this weeks show!
We definately ran into some technical difficulties at the start. The audio didn’t kick in till a 1:45 into the recording.
Also the cable going into the laptop got lose a couple of times and reason for stops in audio. We are working on getting a new cable and Mic setup.
Munkz started off this week’s show with some trippy IDM. Solid track selection! Got to love the dark eeriness of this mix. Towards the end he stepped it up a notch. Unfortunately we still working to perfect the switch between us but you’ll know when my half starts when you hear a certain Phil Collins track =D
My half focuses more on the glitch hop side of things. Started off with a few lovestep tracks since I thought it would be appropriate since it was the day after Valentines day. Wanted to do some more lovestep but so much new stuff to drop that wanted to bring to the table.
Next week we’ll be a lot more prepared!
It’s only going to get better from here on out!
It’s been awhile since I write a legit post and not just a mix. The new addition to the Afro Monk team, Pierre, is doing a great job. I’m thrilled to have him onboard and having him contribue so much.
WMC is right around the courner and looks like its going to be unforgettable as usual. I can’t believe how involved I am with this one event. The past month I’ve shared e-mails with some of the most respected producers/DJs in the glitch game in my eyes.
My show has almost been on for a month now. I started off strong but now we working out all the kinks. My close friend Munkz has been joining me and dropping some dubstep bombs. I feel like it’s a great combo of glitch/IDM/trip-hop with the last hour having Munkz bring the dirty bass.
Overall things are moving along. I’ll be meeting some of the glitch.fm crew in 2 weeks in DC. I’m flying up to DC for a gig HipGnosis got. Looking forward to meeting him and a few others that will be there.
I’m on a total travel mind set right now. I hope to visit NY and possibily even play at an event there. Also considering a trip to Oregon to visit some close friends from glitch.fm. My birthday is in the summer and most likely going to Vegas for Defcon and hope to somehow find myself on the bill to play out there. Another project I’ve been thinking of doing is throwing an event in Seattle. There is a group of glitch.fm guys up there as well. Let’s not forget Lost in Bass in Boston is always an option in the future.
It’s amazing the people I’ve met since joining the Glitch.fm team. I’ve become close with people all over the world and hope to visit them all in the near future, even the Delicious Crew in New Zealand.
Here are two mixes I’ve done in recent weeks. Both of them were broadcasted on Glitch.fm Live. I’m becoming quite a fan of being able to go on the air.
This mix I did when I was feeling all emo and stuff. I’ve never really mixed trip-hop and haven’t mastered the art of beat matching so this can get a bit dodgy at times. This was more for the feel and listening to the songs. Poured out some of my favorite tunes in here. Later on in the mix I switched it up to play a little FL Breaks and into a pre-recorded Miami Bass mix that had there.
This is the recording of my set on last weeks show. Can’t believe I have a weekly show. I decided to team up with my close friend Munkz for this. Figured I’d bring the glitch and he brings the whomp. We ended up doing a ghetto rig there and turned out his portion of the show sounded like complete crap so just uploading my first hour.
