The D.O.N. R.I.M.I.N.I.


I have a lot of respect for Don Rimini since the first time one of his awesome mixtapes found it's way into my iTunes collection, and that's already 2 years ago... His pumping tracks like "Rave on", "Kung Fu", "Ohow", "G.O.O.D.",... have only made my love for him greater. He released a smashing mix for the Burn Paris Burn mixtape series a few days ago, which makes me feel like it's festival time again. The Don was actually the best set I heard this summer, at the feest in het park festival in august. Enjoy this mix, it's filled with banging tunes that put whole festivals on fire!


The video for his "whatever" track is quite nice, so why wouldn't I post that too? The Don himself even has a small cameo in it, those who watch it attentively will recognise him, being his old cool self.

This should be your sh!!!


Hi folks, I'm back with yet another promo post for Comic Strips! It seems like almost everything I'm posting is something that's been made by him... I guess I'm just a sucker for a pretty bass! This fellow will be releasing his second Ep on Rot10 musik, and I can assure you that this is a no-brainer when thinking if it will be worth your money. The 3 tracks on it should be widely supported by anyone who's willing to give new talents a shot, or basically by everyone who likes his electro pumping and energetic.


My favourite track is Ghost Troubles, It comes so close to perfect that I was a bit afraid of what the other 2 might sound like when compared to it... Luckily for me, the other 2 are prime time bangers as well, who may stand proudly next to Ghost Troubles. Ill-matic is a blend between electro and metal, perfect for those moshers on the first rows! That's my sh!!, the title track of the Ep, is good head-banging material, but I'm afraid I ran out of superlatives to describe it. Awesome Ep, prelisten all of the tracks below!

busy , busy , busy ...

With my exams coming closer and closer I can't really find time for anything apart from studying at the moment. And yet I make time for some blogging, I hope that I won't regret this... So yeah , because I can't make time for searching all through the internet for some good new stuff , I'll give you something that I already know for a while.


I got for you a guy called Tim Nelson aka Betatraxx. Well because I can't find a bio of him anywhere , that's all I know about him. But that isn't really important, his music on the other hand is. You could describe his productions as dirty electro with a deep/dark atmosphere, so check out some of his songs...

Here is my personal favorite, called Drug Abuse. It's not the easiest song to mix into another, but I'm just really linking the atmosphere in this song. Although it has some real dirty electro sounds it's still kinda deep.
And for all the producers out there, on his soundcloud you can find all the different lines of this song seperated so you can make a remix of it.

This one is a remix of 4th of July by Kelis. When I first heard the original song I was like: hmm liking that piano sound. But after a while I was already bored. So what I like about this remix is that he kept that piano-piece and made the rest of the song just so much more interesting. Enjoy.

While i was writing the above, a new status of X-ettl popped up on facebook. He posted a teaser for his remix on Jouissance Accablante by Dead CT Bounce. If you had never heard about X-ettl before I'll quickly introduce him to you. X-ettl (or Jens De Ketelaere) is one of the three guys of aerotronic. Aerotronic is known for their trashy electro sound and that sound you can also find in the productions of X-ettl, only a little more cleaner.



This teaser gives you a little taste of something that in my opinion sounds new and fresh. The only thing I don't really like is the climax. But it doesn't really bother me that much so ...

The 80's feeling

This is post number 202 on this page, woohoow! I forgot to add it in my post about Kraken heart and Comic Strips, but I guess you guys didn't noticed it as well.
What excites me even more is my brand new traktor s4 (for those who don't know what it is: watch this), within a few months (or longer, we wait until we are fully assured of our qualities) we will be available for bookings...

Today I have 2 sweet vids for you, both awesome in their very own way... They have one thing in common: they revive that typical 80's feeling!


The first is a promo video for the new Mr. Magnetik Ep, called "Mario is under acid". It will be released on the 24th of December on G point muzik, but I will let Mr. Magnetik do the talking for the rest of the post.

It all started off as a pleasantry, and though here the banter has gone to an offset inspiration taking us through an acidulous pilgrimage. This is how Mr Magnetik got promoted to the rank of demiurge of a track incarnating a play resurgence straight from the 80's!

For the friendly joke to be complete, he sends the track to his best buddy: The G from the G Point Muzik label.

« Mario Is Under Acid » starts as a stage of « Super Mario Bros » and ends up just like it, blowing up into fireworks. We are already all aware that the journey will be epic and that Bowser or any Koopa Troopa will find themselves unarmed facing the percussive rhythm boxes introducing one horny Super Mario. Ultimately, the final score will be grazing the hands of Jean Nipon and Shameboy who are as well joining the game, and offer dirty remixes of the track, coming right up from some parallel dimensions.

Mr Magnetik is here keeping off any pompous torments, turns on the console and delivers you a crazy game, which will make you whirl like pixilated bricks. Insert a coin and don't let the game end, don't repulse your childish pleasures!


The second one is the official clip for Derezzed (for the upcoming Tron movie), featuring Daft Punk, lightbikes, Knights,... Why aren't you watching yet?

F2U!!

F2U are two disturbed guys from Portugal who love to make innocent people jump and get mad with very loud and distorded bassline’s. I'm in love with all their tracks! Their just CRAZY! They have made massive remixes like a remix of Barbra Streisand, Rapid Fire Remix, Blast Remix, .... MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THEM ALL!

Another thing that I need to say is that my tests are beginning tomorrow so you will not see many posts from me the next couple of weeks.

The Kraken is loose again!



It's been a long time since I promoted something from the kraken, aka kraken heart here. The reason for this is quite obvious: the guy just took a short break from this project, to have more time to keep his other one (called Dropout Marsh, this is more dreamy and hypnotic than you're used too if you have heard the kraken already) alive. He's back in business now, his new mixtape is more bangin' than ever. It's actually a new mixtape project, no more Kraken tapes, but Beast tapes. Not that you'll notice, the sound stays the same. Thank God.



Doesn't that first track from the mixtape sounds familiar? Yes it does bitches! It's my homie Comic Strips from Pittsburgh, with his track "Drip Drop". I told you that he was going to rise fast, and for those pessimists who still don't believe what I'm saying, I have some more teasers for upcoming remixes from him. Absolutely lovely, as always!


This one is real short, but it gives you a good idea how cool the full version will be.

warming myself up

 Temperatures are getting low here in Belgium. While i'm freezing my ass off because there's something wrong with the heater , I found a way to warm myself up. Trying to find some tracks where i can dance myself warm with. Well mission accomplished! Here's what i found...

Meet Zedd , a German producer who knows what he's doing. He produces in a lot of different genres but it looks like these days electro of the harder kind is becoming more important to him. Below , a remix he did on Skrillex 's Scary monsters and nice sprites. It is allready a couple weeks old but it keeps banging so hard and i just can't have enough. It has a lot of the same sounds as in the original mix but this electro version just has that little bit more. Enjoy!

Skrillex - Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites (Zedd Remix) by Zedd

If you haven't heard of the new song by The Black Eyed Peas called The time , it probably wont take that long before they start trowing it to your head from all directions. But there is a good side about this , overhyped commercial songs bring remixes with them. Same with The time , so here's Zedd's remix. Kinda similar to the remix he did on Skrillex's song , but i see it more as a Awesomess part 2. Again, enjoy!

Now a song that didn't really make me want to party hard , but gave me that lovely summer feeling. This wobbly peace of music made me all happy in these dark winterdays. It's one to lay back with , forget the low temperatures , and picture yourself the beautiful summerdays.
