Heyoka is one of those producers that I love and always excited to hear what he has cooked up. Mandelbass recently has been announced and it is another shining example of why Heyoka has made such a name for himself, diversity with his unique take. His sound and styles range from all sorts of places but you’ll know one of his tunes from a mile away with his signature whompy glitch effects. He gives respects to the great mathematician and ‘creator’ of fractals Benoit B. Mandelbrot.
This release is absolutely stunning. It takes you on a magical glitch ride with beats flowing from all over the place. Just when you thought you had it all figured out you’re taken down deeper into the spiral fractal that is Heyoka. Some real experimental beats. Got to love it! A true master in the art of music.
Today the Heyoka show was announced here in Dallas April 8th! That only means be on a look out for Heyoka in your city as he goes out on a Mandelbass tour. He recently just put out a single off the Glitch This compilation they are giving away for a show he is playing for them. Check it out as you get a small taste of the latest work.
Expect the release of Mandelbass April 9th on Muti.

+verb is probably in my top 3 producer list right now. His sound is so unique and fits perfectly into any set I play. Awhile back he put this track ‘luv u’ on his soundcloud which was only a minute and half long. I completely fell in LOVE! I knew it would blow up and be one of the best tracks. I cried for hours and finally received a copy! The track was originally made for his lovely wife Marissa. Ever since I got a copy I’ve been dropping it non-stop and it makes the ladies go nuts!
Now it is a great pleasure for me to hand this tune over to you! Apparently Mimosa has been dropping it in his sets as well so you know this tune has a stamp approval. Dominic has TONS more from where this came from. There are so many releases due out in 2011. There’s going to be a remix EP called “Cough” out with Muti on Feb 1st,. After that another 4 track EP out with Simplify Records shortly after. Ohh it keeps going… A 4 track + remixes EP out in April via Vermin Street label out of Boston. The one I’m super excited for Dominic for is his EP that is being put together for the Robox Neotech label later this year.
Needless to say you’ll be hearing the name +verb quite some bit in 2011. Also get ready for his upcoming tour later on this year. I’m looking forward to that as Dominic is such a great friend and only have communicated with him via the internet. Going to be great to finally shake the hand of one of my favorite artist out there. As Dominic says laserz n bass n bounce!
Tron Legacy opens today, and what better to sweeten your pre-screening party than this bootleg, featuring samples from Daft Punk’s excellent score and the various preview trailers…
Canadian-born producer ill-esha, shortly on the heels of her debut Daly City album Circadian Rhythms, unleashes this 80 bpm slugger for your weekend crates. She enjoys long walks on the studio floor, bass synthesizing, and coloring anything purple, and this tune covers it all. Forthcoming highlights from her include the Black Ice EP on Haunted Audio, a single on Street Ritual Recordings, a remix for +verb on Muti Music, and 12″ releases on Subway and Dub Police with dubstepper-in-crime Antiserum.
Stephan Jacobs is a rising star in the glitch hop world. He’s 1/2 of Keether which has done a lot over the years for the west coast community. Stephan has been putting out quality tracks throughout the entire year. 2010 has been a monumental year for him establishing himself as solo performer. I had the pleasure of getting to meet him for the first time in person during Lightning in a Bottle this year and even got to catch his renegade set out there.
It’s my pleasure to bring you his 2010 year end mix filled with all originals. As you can see all the hard work he has put into this year shines in this mix. He’s had some amazing collaborations and has many more tracks up his sleeve. Be on the look out for touring dates with Sugarpill in 2011 and an incredible live version of Level Attack.
Nothing but respect for Mr. Jacobs. As many of you regular readers know I have been looking for an apprenticeship to begin learning production. The spot was filled by Stephan awhile ago. Unfortunately I’ve been swamped by endless amounts of work and lack of wireless internet at my new house but once I’m all ready we going to work. Can’t thank him enough for offering this opportunity to learn from one of my favorite producers and great friend.

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!
Subvert is Jeremy Bridge and he rages!
Today is the release of his latest work Party Alarm!
Subvert, located in Alberta, Canada, has had many big releases put out on Rottun Records, Punch Out, and Muti. The newest addition is basstastic. Tracks like Wiggle and Party Alarm are sure to have crowds bumping to the groove with samples that will remind everyone of the old school track ‘wiggle with it’.
“Sound the alarm and get ready to light dance floors on fire! With his infusion of dubstep into mid tempo crunk madness the bass lines will tear you apart and leave everyone begging for more.”
Subvert is a many of many talents. He co-runs pK a company offers event services, sound engineering, and whole bunch of other services. He also is a global moderator for the infamous Glitch Hop Forum.
