Enough Weapons...

Enough Weapons are a huge favourite of us, South African electro lovers..
They'v had a lot of gigs recently and make our crowds go crazy. This duo travels around the world, mainly hitting Europe and South Africa although they have been to the states. They use a whole bunch of equipment ranging from Kaos pads to Nordlead 3 and some other unknown secret weapons which will make you crave for more.
These guys produce some of the best electro, dub and break beats. Both guys in this duo have had a lot of D.Jing experience beforehand, now when put together they are amazing...

In 2010 they had lots of gigs and brought out many new tracks but now its 2011 and we should appreciate their tunes.

Move Bitch - Ludacris (Enough Weapons Bootleg) by Enough Weapons

This remix of Ludacris is crazy and if it doesn't get your head bobbing I'm not sure what will..

Ultra Funk- Enough Weapons by Enough Weapons

This song is for all the electro lovers who like that beautiful sense of rythm...

And last but not least the song that represents all that is good in my country South Africa. We take "The Big Five" by P.H. Fat and have it remixed by Enough Weapons... P.H. Fat is the king of dub in South Africa, pouring Tequila over the crowds that come jam to their beats. This song is S.A. heaven...

Wrap up # 9

We posted a remix of Dj antention's track Ivan a few months ago, it was remixed by X-ettl, one of the guys from Aerotronic. Vecho made one too, and this one is even harder than the one by X-ettl (oh, poor ears of mine, they really have a tough time nowadays...). I prefer this one over the original and remixes, but you are of course free to disagree with my humble opinion.

Big up for Vecho!

And here is another one remix by Vecho, this time for Redial's "Venom". Sweeeeeeet!

The artist who would definitely have got the Ratrabbits award for "breakthrough artist of 2010" (if it existed), is Comic Strips. I have downloaded everything he has made so far, and 90% of that was pure sex (the other 10% was only foreplay). Not many producers achieve that level of versatility, quality and productivity. And he is only just starting... His latest remix is a bomb that has an impact similar to the one dropped on hiroshima.

It will hit you in you face out of nowhere... It's Sucker Punch by Gtronic!

Temabes is a producer from Moscow, Russia, who seems very eager to let the world know that he is out there, making stuff that bangs and kicks you right in your manhood. This is heavy, dark, grinding, teeth crushing electro like only a sick mind from the former soviet union can make... Prepare...

Temabes - Toksin (Original Mix) by TEMABES

This remix by Beatbouncers is out since monday, and it's been supported by big guns like Kissy Sell Out, Cyberpunkers, The Oddword, Shameboy,... The sound is a lot heavier then their stuff when they were still a duo, something that I can only be happy about.

The Eleven from the Netherlands is a relative young producer, but his tunes already gained support from Dj's like Dem Slackers, Riptide, Screendeath,... And his track "Pie" will be released on Southern Fried records. His stuff sounds a lot like acid house, but then with a special touch that I can't describe exactly - let's call it the" clouds touch".

Bonus:

I posted a preview of this some time ago, now you can have the full version!

Kotsnek - Thrillseeka

Hide and scream

Back when I was new to electro music these guys already found their way to me. How? Well I don't know actually, these guys don't really have a real big name... Anyway, already then I was into their music. And now, about a year an a half later, their music found it's way back to me.


Here's a preview of their new track called Kraft. When I heard it the first time, I heard elements that they were allready using in their first production and I heard some really fresh stuff. The combination made me fall in love.
Kraft (Out Soon On Touché Records) by hideandscream

This one is a remix of Fresh Foolish's Awake. Shows that they have decent producing skills. It made me move on the beat and what does an electro song need more then that to be a banger?

Le Musique D'Ordinateur

La Musique D'Ordinateur (LMDO) are a group who have inspired me in the first time I have heard their production.
This sweet little group in ascension emerge from two guys, who have musical influences from Electro, Metal, PUNK, Dubstep, all together made LMDO.
Their strong is headbanger music, they made some pretty cool remix of Slipknot, Metallica, Bring me the Horizon, Linkin Park... and more.
They are from Spain and really, they are here to stay with their music.

A new release from them are the EP " Hoover ".
Tracks release in 27 of Januar in all platforms, so prepare yourself because this EP is a bomb !

Edit:

This post was a try-out, and since his english really isn't good enough (sorry dude), he won't be able to write posts any longer. The music is top quality though, so check that out for sure :).

The perfect prescription

Mental Groove records, the label from French electro god Don Rimini, released an absolutely amazing compilation about a week ago. It contains a bunch of old tracks (or at least some of them are already relaay old), that for some reason never got released. Things from Ado, Modek and Blatta & Inesha feat Edu K stand proudly next to stuff from artists that I had never heard from before this release, like Tagteam Terror, TiTan & Scuolo Furano and The Town.

All of the tracks on this release are pure gold, it's a real shame that no one released them earlier... I recommend you run to your record farmer as soon as you've finished reading this, or just be lazy and click on the beatport link I included below, because I know that you all like to be lazy.

To make your hand go to your wallet even faster, I have permission to share one of the tracks of the release for free. It just so happens to be one of my favorites, Pancadao Supersonico from Blatta & Inesha feat. Edu K. I have been craving for this track since the very first time I heard it, which was most likely in their own Omgitm mix from more than a year ago. The bassline just goes so well with the vocals, this track is an absolute dream!

Blatta & Inesha feat. Edu K - Pancadao Supersonico

Buy the whole release on beatport

There is only one thing left for me to do now...

Admitting that Don Rimini must bring more releases like this, he probably has tons of other beauty's like this up in his sleeve.

Go for it Don.

We all know you can do it!

Fresh Disko

Nadisko will be releasing a new Ep on tuff em up records in March, and they've put a teaser online. My favorite tunes are "Ringer" and "Extortion". Ringer is a very happy tune, which will surely make you jump and long for the festival season. Extortion is rather the opposite, this sounds like it came from Haezer's cave when he had a really bad temper and wanted to make something extra violent...

To make some fuzz around their new EP, they are giving a new remix away for free. It's a remix for Jeff Wayne's "Eve of the war", the theme song for 2005's blockbuster "War of the worlds". It sounds pretty epic, I think this is a good song to start a set with!

Fresh Foolish is a project by 2 Italian Dj's/producers, who are kinda new to the scene. They have already created quite a name for themselves, with a release on crux records scheduled and a first Ep with vocals from a girl and a gun. I went through their soundcloud to pick my favorites, and these are the ones that I found:

DELOREAN (Original Mix) [FREE DOWNLOAD - 2010 Unreleased] by FRESH FOOLISH

This track is plain old heavy electro, a bit trashy, without becoming too chaotic - like trash has to sound.

Dem Slackers - Swagger (FRESH FOOLISH Remix) *PREVIEW* by FRESH FOOLISH

This remix is a dubstep/electro blend for the remix competition for swagger by Dem Slackers, it hopefully will make you bang your head as much as it did to me...

F to B

This post was scheduled to be online thursday, but destiny (and my exam of metaphysics) had other things in store for it...

I guess having exams sucks...

Work sucks harder though!

After the heart stopping announcements of my last post, it would be wise to calm down and post some relaxing stuff. So that's what I did...

"Huh wait? Is this Ratrabbits? This can't be happening?"

Ok, I lied! Relaxing is for old people, not for a bunch of party-harders! How about some F2u and Bullwack to get that adrenaline pumping?

F2u will be releasing an EP on Bonds records on the 17th of februari, it will consist out of 2 original tracks (I hyped the videoclip for one of them in september already, check that post here) Bad Mad Man and Virus. I'm not allowed to post those originals, but there are some remixes ready from producers who don't want their stuff to be released. Weird, but I won't complain, because that means I can freely share them!

The credits for these excellent remixes go to Feedback and W.A.R.!

F2U - Bad Mad Man (Feedback remix)

I got to know Bullwack from his remix for Comic Strips, and I got reminded of his existence again a few days ago when I saw a very touching post on his facebook wall. He wanted more plays on his myspace, because it was embarrassing to only have 2 plays for each track. I don't give a fuck about myspace actually, but I did went to his page to check his tunes. The one that I immediately loved was this one:

FCKN crew - DISCOKE (Bullwack Remix) by BULLW∆CK

I guess I am sort of obliged to keep an eye on him now, you don't make stuff that good by chance... I'll start with checking his whole soundcloud after my exam on monday (Right now that means)!
