Wrap up # 3

After a few hectic days caused by the exams, I finally found some time to sit down, relax, and dive into my swimming pool of electro (some even call it our "inbox"). The relaxing part from my intentions didn't quite came true, and if you listen to the music listed below, you'll understand why!

I'll start with the new release on MAKO records, the third one already. It's the first one from Polymorphic on this label, and it's also the first remix from the Proxy that gets released on his new label. My favorite of the release is "Robodance", but you should definitely check out the other 2 aswell! It only takes a minute, in the literally sense of the word.

Noize Degeneration, a nice french blog with basically the same focus as we have (being ass-kicking, bleeding hard electro), has started a project to promote some of their favorite french young guns (they're all between 16 and 22 years old). It's called "trash mob volume 1", and since you are a smart-ass, you can tell that this is gonna be the first part of a series! I picked my favourites from the package, but if you want more you can download them in a nice and friendly wrap-up file.

Tracklist :
1. Valy Mo - Diskro 2.0
2. Krusty Proders - Runegade
3. B. Frenzy - Super Pyramid
4. Arcade Nights - Smashing
5. 89 Revolt & Valy Mo - Spit On Your Money
6. Krusty Proders - 21h48
7. B. Frenzy - Russian 11 (Arcade Nights remix)
8. Valy Mo - Diskro 2.0 (89 Revolt remix)

If you want the whole package, download here!

VNDL is fully enjoying his summer back there in Montreal, but it's not only chilling and partying for him, he also locks himself in his room to make partytunes for us, mortals. His latest track sounds a bit like a mutation between trash, dubstep and hardstyle, and it sounds a lot better then this weird description might let you think!

I.D.G.A.F.A.W. (Original Mix) - VNDL by Philippe VNDL


The Sekskilers (ft Cute Boy) made a remix for Mika Chew's new Ep, which is coming out on D.E.N.S. records soon. If all the other remixes for this Ep sound as good as this one, it'll be pure gold once it has hit the shelves!

Illstm's remix contest is going quite well, he has received 25 remixes already, and one of the remixes was made by Topaloca, 2 young belgians. They really gave the track a whole new look, it's less trashy and ravey, but with a more pumping bass underneath. I still prefer the original over this, but this is certainly worth a bit of your time.

Wrap up # 2

I was planning to do a small, normal post today, but when I checked our inbox, I realised that I had to do another wrap-up. There was just to many good stuff!

It's been quite a long time since we shared some good mixtapes with you, but I think that a new Burn Paris Burn-tape will fill this need. It comes from the drunk Sicilians better known as Blatta & Inesha, who made a very typical intro for this tape. Paul from Mustard Pimp, the guys themselves and another dude who are singing "Con te partiro" from Bocelli.
The tape itself is filled with trashy, filthy and fidget-ty songs, the way mixtapes have to be!

VNDL, who got featured on this page in March(check that post here), made a new original. It's dark, heavy, trashy, distorted and ravey electro, but he actually got a bit of his inspiration from a hardcore track. Iszoloscope, a hardcore producer who's also living in Montreal, made a track, the "in the face of descent". And he sampled the orchestral from it in his latest production, called "Scope Iszolo". Preview it on his souncloud here, or download with the mediafire link.

VNDL - Scope Iszolo



Deafman keeps on making stuff that amaze me from the very first time I hear them, "Motocompo" is no different. With their blend of electro and techno, these guys are sure to pop off!


I also found this remix from Shax, it really gives this gypsy song the punch it needs!
Starts real weird, gypsy style, but it gets hard, I promise you!

V(a)ND(a)L

To see if a song gets my attention, I have some techniques, and they are different for each genre. For heavy electro stuff (from artists that I have never heard of), I just play it when I'm doing something else, and if I stop doing these things to look at the name of the track because I think: "Holy s#*t, what the f*ck is this?!?", then I'm hooked.


That's the way I listened to VNDL, and his tracks definitely gave me that spark, and also an urge to start headbanging (which I did). This dude (Philippe Vandal) is only 19 years old, and lives in Montréal, Canada. He describes his sound as "distorted, trashy (Proxy-like...but not Proxy :p)". He has a monthly venue at the Saphir, an underground club in his hometown. He does his mixing and dj-ing stuff pure for the pleasure, and he started mixing about one year and a half ago.
Nexuspetrol (Felix Montmorency) is a friend of his, and it was him who got him into producing. He learned Philippe how to work with ableton, and they made some tracks together.
I think this is enough talk for now, but I definitely think that we'll hear more from him in the near future! This are his 2 fucking amazing remixes:

Huoratron - Corporate occult (Nexuspetrol vs VNDL edit)

Noisia - B.R.U.L. (Nexuspetrol vs VNDL edit)

VNDL messaged me a few minutes ago, to say that I could host those two other tracks for download! Woohoow!

VNDL - Blender
VNDL - Toaster

For dreamy dub, I have other conditions. Those songs are more or less unnoticed when I download them, I just think: "well, if this blog has posted it, it will be good!". but most of the time I don't like them after some listens. But sometimes... Sometimes I do find something that grows on me...
RSD - naked mario kart

Thanx to wizards are better for this find (they posted it some time ago). This track made me hum "papapara,papapara pararara" for days. I highly recommend this one!
