I never loved metal, to be honest: I couldn't even listen to it! But since today, I think I have to change my mind. I just found a remix of a "Slipknot" track, and it sounds pretty good. Thanks to BELZEBASS for making this one!
If you like it the hard way, check out their other tracks:
And.. hey.. WAKE UP! This is not the first electro remix of a metal track that can make the crowd go crazy. If you're a fan of our blog, you defenitely should know Gtronic and The Oddword. They also made a remix of a metal track; System of a down - Chop Suey (The Oddword ft. Gtronic)
Well, if all remixes of metal tracks can be such destroyers, goodbye fidget!
We already have posted some tracks of The Mould, but now I'll post some of Alexey Nosulenko - better known as Marseille. Proxy gave Marseille the opportunity to release the album "UFO ATTACK", which is the first release of MAKO Records.
Felix Cartal's album "Popular Music" has just been released digitally on Dim Mak, and Taelor has done a good job with this. It's filled to the top with bangin' tunes, in his typical sound, a cross-over between techno and electro. I've picked "Love" and "Berlin" as my favorites. Felix really likes cities a lot, he already had Parisienne, Vancouver, Montreal Dreams and now Berlin. You can buy the whole album here.
Tracklist: 01. Popular Music Intro 02. Berlin 03. I Believe In (feat. Beta Bow) 04. World Class Driver 05. Volcano (feat. Johnny Whitney) 06. Drone 07. The Grinch 08. Love 09. Dutch George (Horn Version) 10. Why Wait (feat. The Faint) 11. Boy And His Computer 12. Something Nice
The Proxy is working on his album (it's probably going to be titled "Proxy), rumor has it that it will be released in march. In the meantime, there has popped up an album teaser. It has caused people to freak out, even while it's only 1 minute and 48 seconds long, for 14 ear-bleeding militaristic techno tracks. I've spent the last bit of my youth analyzing it to get most of the track ID's. Most of em can already be heard in his live-sets for quite a while now, and because the bits and pieces of the tracks that you can hear are no longer than 10 seconds, I'm reposting his live-set from I love techno. The tracks in that live-set are in a much better quality than the teaser (which is 40 kbps), and they're a lot longer.
01. Proxy - Cooper 02. Autodidakt - Shit Your Rack (Proxy Remix) 03. Proxy - Indian Film 04. Proxy - Ready to Watching 05. Proxy - Сypher 06. Moby - I Love to Move in Here (Proxy Remix) 07. Zombie Nation - Shottieville (Proxy Remix) 08. Tiga - What You Need (Proxy Remix) 09. Digitalism - Home Zone (Proxy Remix) 10. Proxy - Raven (Live Edit) 11. Proxy - Vibrate 12. Proxy - Status 13. Proxy - Who Are You? 14. Proxy - Who Are You? (The Bloody Beetroots Remix) 15. Proxy - Abyss 16. Proxy - Decoy 17. Proxy - Dance in Dark (Live Edit)
With this post I would like to introduce some Belgian producers which, in my opinion, haven't got yet the attention they deserve. Let's hope my little literary masterpiece will spread their word a bit!
First up is the 19 years old DJ/producer Jens De Kettelaere. Being one third of the Belgian electro/trash trio "Aerotronic", he also has a solo side project "X-Ettl".
After winning an internet competition X-Ettl had the honor to perform at Belgium's biggest electro festival "I Love Techno". Things haven't stopped growing and soon he will release his first solo EP on the german label "Dusted Decks". (Next to Fukkk Offf, Aniki, Saint Pauli,...)
The Ep, called "Jetgum" will include 4 tracks:
X-ettl - Jetgum
X-ettl - Ngin
X-ettl - Stride
X-ettl - Deadc4t
Because he wants to protect these tracks until their release, he is not sending them into the blog world, but you can hear some previews in this minimix.
The next artist "Modek", Willem Claesen, has already made several huge originals and remixes. (formerly known as Mellow)
As "Mellow" he released his first EP, called, ... yes, Mellow. (Monkey See Monkey Do) Later on he released his Kamikaze EP (Buy) on Keatchen Records and in the future he will release his Hiroshima EP (Monkey see Monkey Do) and his Mumps EP (Kiez Beats)
I love his sound, because it is that extraordinary hard and trashy. His tracks should really hit more dancefloors.
Difficult to choose which tracks I would share with my fellow Ratrabbits, but here they are.
(5 tracks, still too hard to choose, but please buy the tracks if you like them.)
The last artist I am presenting, Vincent Pauwels, better known as VNNR and 26 years old, is also making his way to the top.
His remixes are dropped by artists such as Mr. Oizo, Busy P, Felix Da Housecat,and Don Rimini. (So I asked myself: who isn't supporting him?)
At the moment VNNR is working on a remix for Aerotronic, while an Aerotronic remix will feature on Modek's Mumps EP. The Belgian "harder" electro scene, seems to be one happy family.
I am posting two of his best remixes, not hard to find on the web, not fresh, but in my opinion they haven't got a really decent post somewhere.
Coming up is, as I said, his remix for Aerotronic, but also a remix for The Oddword's "Kortelas".
You can hear the preview in this video:
So, until here my little word of Belgian chauvinism. Of course I can continue my story and tease your ears once more with other Belgian artists, but my fingers tell me to keep that for an other episode.
I hope it got your attention.
Enjoy the tracks and support the artists!
Bonus:
I already said something about Proxy founding his own label, well, he finished his plan: http://makorecords.com/. Check it out guys.
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.
This remix for Boys Noize's Kontact me surely will blow you away, it was played by the man himself at Fuse in Brussels last friday. The guy who made this pumpin remix is Canadian Rynecologist, some of you might know him from his previous work on Ed banger. Hothothot!
And what a crowd by the way... Wish I was there...
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!
