Mumps

Modek's new Ep "mumps" is going to be released on Kiez Beats records, it will contain 1 original and 6 remixes. My favorites are Sick Boy's and the Sexinvaders remix, but you are allowed to pick your own poison on the soundcloud link below.

Gbd crew, another talented duo from Liège, made a minimix especially for our blog, 23 tracks in 6 minutes. Some real nice transitions, one big mash-up like he says himself. The tracks are all oldies from 2005 to 2008, which is why it's called "Old smoothie from space".
An interesting evolution in the internet promotion channels: Myspace is becoming less important, Facebook and Soundcloud are taking over (some artists even don't have a myspace, like VNDL). Soundcloud and Facebook give lots of more options to interact with your favorite producers, which is probably why things are changing like this.

This last thing does not have do to anything with music, just some weird science: some Argentine dude invented Holophonic sound. And what might that be, you think.
It's a special technique which makes the sound go circular (if you just listen it on your boxes, it won't work, use headphones!). Check the links below, they probably explain it better then I can.

The scientifical explanation
a cool example

Barbra Streisand

Wow shit.
This is pure sex, watch those last 10 seconds...
Duck Sauce, the collaboration between A-trak and Armand Van Helden, has played their first live-set ever at WMC the 25th of March. When they dropped this track (probably going to be called "Barbra Streisand", named after the famous diva), the crowd went nuts (as you've probably seen already). So I hope this is going to be released real soon on Fool's Gold, because it will set rooms on fire like nothing else will do this summer!
Njamnjam!

Edit: someone found a better quality, and longer vid from A-trak dropping this at Ultra.



And: even my mom likes this song!

Edit 2:

As old as my grandma, as hot as your sister.

Today I am posting some tracks I have really been digging for a long time. As the title wants to tell you in a poetical way, they aren't fresh my fellow Ratrabbits.

Though, if you liked my former posts this tracks will make you dance. I assure you that they are worth your so beloved download megabytes.
First track is a "The Neon Plastix" remix of Late Of The Pier's original: Space and the Woods. Some time ago, the track featured in a promo video from Mashed Paper Klub. I recently watched the video again in some "what-shall-I-do-to-not-be-bored-mood" and in the comments beneath the video some guys were looking for it.
So, jeeep, here it is:

Late Of The Pier - Space and the Woods (The Neon Plastix Remix)

For those who haven't heard about The Neon Plastix yet. It's an English (Doncaster) electro pop disco band. (I copy / pasted that.) Their sound actually reminds me of Late Of The Pier's sound.



The next track, which I think is great but missed the bus into the blog world a bit: 99 - Daftenhalfedit. 99 (say: ninetynine) heads from Canada (Calgary) and his name should have to be Julian. (99 myspace)
Searching information about the guy, is a pretty hard assignment. I think this should be his own site: http://iampierce.tumblr.com, which he has together with a friend.

If you like his music, I suggest to follow his fagebook page, because that's maybe the only source of information I am sure of.

99 - Daftenhalfedit

The last track I have for you guys proves my love for VNNR (Vincent Pauwels) again.

It's a remix he did for Matt Herdman about a year ago and that has been supported by Mr. Oizo back then.

So, I leave you saying I really recommend these tracks, enjoy them!

Fuck, Fuck Me.

Nr. 100!

So this is our 100th post, I really am a bit proud of myself when I look at our back catalogue, I believe we stayed true to our mission statement (spreading loads of hard electro, and very little soft shit) most of the time. So I tried to get my hands on some exclusive stuff for this post, but aparently every major artist in the electro scene is at WMC. But don't worry, I managed to find some real banging stuff for this special occasion!


First up: Snob electro sounds, who have just finished their track "Ripper". Labelbosses all around the globe, check this out! This is serious grindin' stuff, just the way I love it! Even better than "the beast", and that track still gives me chills when listening to it. Catch them dj'ing this saturday at their own (together with Screech'd) party "Epic One", alongside Modek and Volltronixx.

DE.LL, I'm sure that name doesn't ring a bell at all. That's perfectly normal, because he only started producing seriously a little while ago. His first track is available for download below, and for a first track, this is dope as hell. Hailing from Le Havre in France, he's now ready to start taking over the world step by step.

D.E.LL - Bang Bang by Dell


Les Petits Pilous will be playing a set at Fight Klub this friday (so that's 2 banging parties in one weekend, I bet you won't even have time to hit your bed). Their "Bielle" Ep, released on Boys Noize records, will be hitting real hard at party's all around the globe.
My pick of the Ep is "Goog", it has one of the best build-ups I have ever heard, and it sets your legs on fire like only the old Boys Noize could.

Les Petits Pilous - Goog

I hope you enjoyed this post, and more generally, this blog.
Let's go for the 1000!

Gunning down

I think this is the first time that I'm posting a drum & bass track, but it's just so heavy and violent, fucking unbelievable. Noisia, a dutch drum & bass trio recently had the honor to make an essential mix for BBC radio One, and one of the tracks in that mix struck me like it was lightning. It appeared that it was the 16bit remix of "Machine Gun". This is how I like drum & bass, normally I get tired of it when a dj plays d&b for more than an hour, but if all d&b was as violent as this shit...
Need I say more?

This post is just a quickie, but I'll try to make my next post something special because it's number 100 then!
Enjoy!

Shall we throw Domino in the trashcan?

Trashcan DJ's first mixtape (the trash-up volume 1) got some love from us in november. Their second mixtape might even be better than that first one, and if you know that it contains lots of remixes from the guys themselves, you gotta admit that they are on the rise real fast. A little bit trash, loads of fidget, some dubstep, that's pretty much everything you need to get my attention. And if you know how to mix properly, it's likely that you get a post.

It's been some time since The Bloody Beetroots released something banging, but their last EP, "Domino" created quite a buzz. Bloggers all over the place are telling that the beetroots are finally back on the level they used to be. "Domino" is quite good (so we don't throw it in the trashcan!), but I don't think that this will get played as much like Warp 1.9 or Cornelius. The second track on the Ep (31 seconds to die) isn't really my cup of tea, way to chill to set a dancefloor on fire (but it's probably not meant for that).

Never end Mix part 7

Some of you might have heard from TheOthers, a duo from Liège in Belgium. They had the honour to play alongside big names such as Justice, Mstrkrft, the bloody beetroots and basically every big name in electro music.

They are residents on the famous Forma T parties and they have a mixtape project, called “never end mix” which has reached the magical number 7 this week. Every week they make one, and then they post it on their blog. We present you their mix for this week, if you like it you should definitely check their previous and upcoming mixes. Their first tracks should be finished soon, in the meantime enjoy this amazing mixtape.

Been some time since we posted a little dubstep on this page, I thought that Cobi's first track would be something that can fill this gap. This tune starts real cool, with some of the best vocals to get you in the mood. The last 2 minutes might have been shorter in my opinion, but for a first track, this kicks ass!
