We all love free tracks, don't we? Well the guy(s) from Nation seem the know that and decided to give their track Kepler away for free. Beautiful thing about this is that it's a fucking good song! Trust me you don't have to listen to it first, just download it...
I guess some of you already know Figure, an American producer most known for his drumstep-productions. Well yesterday he uploaded a piece of electro and I guess you could call it pretty hard... Some typical Figure sound with a four-on-the-floor beat. Get dancy!
O before I forget, the people who thought they were only going to get one free track are wrong. Figure apparently also likes to play santa claus.
It's been a decent time since the latest installment in this series, but due to all the christmas gifts I get thrown from everywhere, I have a bunch of tracks that really need some attention.
I'll start with a new bootleg from Horse, a guy from Australia, known throughout the galaxy for his insane mash-ups. Now he has taken one of my favorite tracks of all time, Divine Gosa from Radioclit, to the remix-table. The thing with my favorite tracks is that it's really hard to make something that may proudly stand next to the original...
But this one did, although it might be a little more heavy for my taste!
Figure was one of the guys that I loved in the starting days from the blog, but I somehow lost track of him somewhere... Searching through the web I found this massive bootleg for hip-hop collective NWA, which is so heavy I almost fell of my chair, got blown out of my room and landed in a big black hole!
Mr. Magnetik was so kind to share a gift with us, it's a piece of acid that sticks in your brain and stays there until all body functions except your movement are completely eroded.
"Why not the movement?" I can almost SMELL you thinking that! The answer is quite obvious though - you have to dance!
Moore & Lezz will be dropping a very special treat for you, ratrabbits readers, real soon, but in the meantime I have their fresh remix for L&M Bros' "Wario Must Die". They weren't one of the winners of the remix competition though, the boys from L&M had so much trust in their remixing capacities that they asked them to make one.
Doc Trashz is also throwing out presents to everyone who is willing to catch them, and I bet that you will definitely want to catch this one! The buzz around the Tron movie has finally stopped rising, now that it's finally released - but you might want to keep surfing on that hype after you heard this thing!
Dj Antention is quickly becoming the new face of the Russian electro scene, now that the Proxy is working (or at least I hope he is) on his album. His "Ivan" track was already remixed by X-ettl, and now it's also been remixed by Vecho! Dj Antention particulary liked this remix, and apparently the guys from Tuff em up records in Australia liked it too, because they're releasing it! Support the 2 young belgian lads from Vecho by joining their fanpage!
It's again more then a week ago since I've posted something here - I guess time flies when you have to learn for your exams. Anyway, I found some real nice stuff on the blogosphere and in our inbox, and by nice I mean: music that you can party at even when you're doing the dishes (God knows how many times I've did it).
I'll start with a fresh remix from Harvard Bass, the dude who left Harvard to get his dj career started (too bad Leuven Bass sounds so shitty, or I could follow the same path). I think he made the right choice, there's enough time to study when you're tired of the dj'ing. And it's some damn nice pocket money too! But let's get back to the point, the remix we're talking about here is one for Felix Cartal's "World Class Driver". It's sticky, heavy and with a few scary vocals, what else do you need? Felix Cartal - World Class Driver (Harvard Bass remix) 192 Kbps
Up next is a new Ep from Figure, which is always something that makes me walk around with a big smile on my face for the rest of the day. The atmoshpere is rather grim in this batch of tunes, the title makes it clear already: it's about torture muthafucka! Lot of cool vocals in this one, and the whole Ep contains remixes from Hostage, Udachi and Noise Floor Crew and a b-side called "Bitches". My favourite picks are the original and the Udachi remix, the first one is available for your listening pleasure for free below, for the second track you will have to pay a visit to Beatport.
Figure - Torture A mixtape from my favourite whore bosses Mustard Pimp is always worth to share, especially since it's been such a long time since I've posted one. This is the first installment in a new series, the Catastrophe mixtapes. They promise to bring more of them during the coming year, let's hope they keep that promise! Their album is about to drop at the beginning of 2011, I'm already psyched!
Mustard Pimp - Catastrophe Mixtape Series Vol 1 by mustard pimp And before've even had time to notice, you have ended up at the last part of this post already! "Oooooh no", I hear you scream, "I want more!". OK THEN, (spoilt bastards) here's another banging tune, from the master of sticky, silly, happy songs: Sticky K! He remixed Maru from Pance Party, and he definitely gave it his trademark. Enjoy! Pance Party - Maru (Sticky K remix) (thanks to gottadancedirty, not only for this one, but for being such an awesome blog in general!)
My 2 favorite US producers seemed to be a bit lazy the last few months, or at least we didn't brought you any new stuff from them... But The Disco Villains and Figure weren't sitting down and doing nothing, they actually prepared some sick new stuff! Let's start with the Disco Villains, because they had some bad luck with the health of Louie Fresco, who was really sick the last couple of months. Now that he's getting better, they started to work in the studio again, and they pumped out some summer style songs that fitted my mood perfectly today. They're all quite techy and with a latin vibe, but every once in a while I like my songs that way. Eyes wide open for the nex ep, they have caught Etienne de Crecy as a remixer!
Figure's Ep, called 'the death of Joshua" was released on we are live records a few days ago. Angry distorted tunes (like he describes it on his own blog, Penned Madness), that was a genre that he didn't made yet. These 3 tracks are all a bit more trashy than his other stuff, but just like I said before, this man is so genius that it always turns out great! There should be coming a remix ep too somewhere soon, with remixes from Modified Noise and Flufftronix.
Tracklist of the teaser: Lover of the broken Bring it The death of joshua
This remix for Tiga's "you gonna want me" is one of the few songs that I'd happily download a shitty, setripped and full of jingles- version from. The reason why is obvious: it's massive! Played by Erol Alkan, and tons of others are to follow!
Horse, a dj and producer duo who are living in New South Wales, Australia, has blasted my mind with their Bangduck mash-up. He uses samples from the original, bangkok, the afrojack remix for cool and the nujax remix for bangduck. He's 22 years old, and the guy is only dj'ing for one year, but he has already supported acts like Van She, Bag Raiders and in the next month, he has to support Acid Jacks and Jamie Fanatic. The outcome is surprisingly good, normally I don't like to listen to mash-ups at home, it's only cool to hear it played out live in a club. This time, the mashed up parts gave me a feeling like I was meeting old friends again, and I suddenly realised that they were a lot cooler as a group. So I won't ever listen again to Bangkok, Bangduck and all the other songs aforementioned, I will just enjoy this unbelievable mash-up. Afrojack - Bangduck (Horse's bootlegging duck mash) Brooklyn Fire records (Tommie Sunshine is the label-boss) has officially started. I thought that it was in existence for some months already, but apparently Figure was just making a little promotion for the new label by putting "brooklyn fire" in his track ID's. Anyways, to get some attention, Mr. Sunshine asked some artists to make a remix for a track that they consider a classic. In his own words:
“When I thought about launching my new imprint, Brooklyn Fire and the impending WMC I thought the best way to cause a stink was to get the artists whom I dig and have them tear apart something they consider a “classic”. Enjoy these 20 works and I look forward to your support of Brooklyn Fire.”
The result? 20 quality remixes for some real oldies, with remixes by my favorite Figure, Mightyfools, Tommie Sunshine himself, Hostage, SonicC, Boris Dlugosh and loads of others. Definitely worth the 260 Mb of harddisk space that it will take! And oh yeah: It's for free and in 320 quality!

Figure has again expanded his musical horizons. This time he made an acid remix for Paul Anthony's "Cocaine" track. This man's production skills are truly amazing, he never failed to amaze me. His switching of genres only increases my love for him, he's not afraid to try new stuff. I think that's enough praise for now, just download, play, love and tell your friends about it.
Snapcrack, a brand new French electro duo started their career with 2 banging electro/rave tracks, a remix for overthrill, and an original. Decent electro shit, it's violent and melodic at the same time.
When I need a little music to get in the mood for a drunk party, Blatta & Inesha never fail to feed my needs. The latest track they shared on soundcloud is "what's the time", a collaboration with Whiskey Pete. I think that I have all the tracks from their Omgitm mixtape now, which means that I finally will stop listening to it. That's how it goes with great mixtapes full of unknown tracks: when ever track is released, I'm tired of the tape and I never listen to it again. Anyways, this is the track, and it's great!
And, I almost forgot... BANGDUCK finally dropped. The long awaited answer from Afrojack to bangkok is a remix with a blink, he wanted to show that his sound was stolen by Boris Dlugosch. But don't worry, they won't start dissing each other like rappers do. To the ones who can't make sense of the vocals: afrojack is from the netherlands, so the vocals are in dutch.
Harvard Bass got his ass kicked and was robbed in LA, but he was kind enough to post his best songs of the month at the Sound Pellegrino blog. The most of these tracks aren't available for us, mortal people, like the new dj edjotronic song (not djedjotronic anymore, he changed his name a bit) and his own new remixes. But we have that last song from the chart for you, and like Viktor shows: thumbs up!
I'm really becoming a sucker for everything Figure pumps out, his style seems to change everytime (he has made dubstep, wobbly bass, techno, and some things in between). And everytime, he nailed it. His latest release on one for all records is pointing straight to the dancefloors, with some cool club vocals in "War Fair". "The Doses" is one for all you drug addicts out there, but if you aint enslaved, you'll probably enjoy this one too.
In our interview with Sawgood, he mentioned that he would soon be releasing an ep on plasmapool records. This Ep was released on the 20th of february, and it contains some serious partystarters!
All three tracks have this fidget tone, "Clowny" is the most wobbly one. "Rock it" is my personal best, the vocals really get me going. "Sawsage" is the hardest, darkest of the Ep. I know that's not much words to describe how good it is, I'll give you some names from peeps who played it already: Stereoheroes, Blatta&Inesha, Hostage, Gigi Barocco, Mustard Pimp,... So... why are you still reading this?
Figure from Florida keeps on surprising me with original tunes, his "The Warriors" remix was a fucking bomb, and this new track I'm about to give you is something special aswell. It might not be so mindblowing as his rmx of the aforementioned, but it did scare me a bit. And I mean that in a good way. I liked the spacey, synthy build-ups, and the techno beats at the break get me jumping, which is what I look for in electro music.
First off all I want to apologise for the lack of posts in the last few days, it's due to a combination of slacking, technical problems, being tired from exams and even more slacking.
This would normally have been posted yesterday, but the blogspot server didn't work properly.
Woohoow! A new "Oh my god, it's techno music!" mixtape! This time "Norsh God" Illstm had the honour to make it, and as always, this is well worth your precious time. If you haven't heard from him, you should definitely check out his remix for mustard pimp's Rer D.
22 - Toy Quantize - Weather Change (Doc Trashz Remix)
23 - Sickboy - Energy Blast (Tom Deluxx Remix)
24 - Pance Party - Fun Factory
25 - Lil Jon's going to Hell
Figure, I already posted some stuff about him, but this one is really mindblowing! If you have seen the cultmovie the warriors (cult action movie released in 1979), you might recognise the vocals, he has used the speech from Cyrus to create some more atmosphere. For those who haven't seen this movie, I suggest you do it immediately! Heavy Dubstep/4-4 bass, like he calls it himself. I agree completely with him! Can you dig it?!
One part of the Squatters (Oliver Portamento aka Baldy squatter) teamed up with one half of Cold blank (Mr. Gaspar) to make this cool track. Timbaland's hip-hop track is changed into a Fidget/jackin tune, perfect to heat up dancefloors.
I probably should have posted this months ago, better late then never I guess. A little Balkan/tech diamond, made by Riva Starr. I'm not really digging this whole tech/midget, new-house thing, but if they are as funny as this one, I'm not complaining. The video features some images from "Black cat, white cat", a movie released in 1998. I'm sure you will have a few laughs when watching the movie, so give it a chance.
Enough slow tempo shit for now, we all know you like it hard! This one really sounds like Birdy nam nam's track "Worried" (maybe it samples it? I don't know, but I heard a similarity from the first listen).
Digital lab remixed SonicC's summer hit "Stickin'", the essence of the original stays intact, but this is a great remix if you have grown tired of the original (like me)
I've been searching the internet today to give you some tunes, and I think I have succeeded! The first one is a track from Huoratron, "Gbay". Typical Huoratron shit, scary, screeching, sawing, soul-sucking electro!
This one is a fidget song, a genre that has been pushed a bit to much to the background on this blog. Typical jackin basslines, looped vocals, everything's there to get you dancin.
Remember what I said about P2t getting big? Check this latest remix by The Killer Rabbits for their track "jump", trashy, ravey, it has it all! That description fits perfectly for the second remix that I'm giving you, the remix by The Third.
And a last one, these guys don't need an introduction anymore I think.... The Disco Villains! Their next Ep will be remixed by Gigi Barocco, so keep your eyes and ears wide open for that!
If you want to send us tracks, money, girls, booze, free entrance tickets for party's,... just contact us at: ratrabbitsblog@gmail.com. We will listen to it carefully and definitely post the stuff we like!
