We remain amazed from the King deluxe’s new releases. We have received few days ago an other new upcoming release from the label, scheduled for the 1st of May. We are writing for the first release of Alphabets heaven named boosh!. You can read the review from King Deluxe website bellow
“Coming from the beautiful boutique label that is King Deluxe is the May 1st release of Alphabets Heaven’s Boosh. Brighton’s own sovereign of the snares and kicks delivers a 7 track release featuring 3 works as well as 3 reworks, including one from Robot Koch. Though his modus operandi would indicate an EP full of clicks and clunks, Boosh beats to a different drum. Delivered is something much more rhythmic than just click and clunks. Thought there are some up tempo ditties, my personal faves are all of the slower tempo’ed pieces. The opener and title track does feature a steady measured and melodious piece full of efx, filters, still managing to creating a refrain from it all. But I found myself stuck on Deartentonine, drawn in possibly by the opening guitar sample, but then taken to this lavishly lush landscape conjuring images and sounds of wild flora & fauna, all done gracefully in an adagio pulse. YES.” – 92BPM
We recently have hosted two features concerning the Canadian label King Deluxe. Two interviews: one with the people of the label and one interview with Aleph, a new impressive artist from Russia. We have received also few of the releases of the label, among those releases, there is also the single of Evy Jane “says no” . Evy Jane “says no” according an article on RA is the very first vinyl release of King Deluxe. Evy Jane are the duo from Vancouver (singer/keyboardist Evelyn Jane Mason and beatsmith Jeremiah Klein). “The vocals of Evelyn on “Says so” in combination with a very proper post dubstep inspired sound makes a very exceptional result. The dark atmosphere and sensuality of this release is definitely the main impression you get at first. Besides the original version, on this release you may also find interesting the two remixes by two artists from Vancouver scene named Max ulis and Taal Mala. A highly recommended release from us today. You can buy it here as well as having an audio preview http://kingdeluxe.ca/evy-jane-self-titled/
This is a feature concerning the best 5 (or what I consider) drum n bass releases , which I have presented at this blog the last year. As we do every year in December at the shituationist institute blog , we evaluate , feature our highlights. It would be great to send us your comments and mention some cool releases who probably are missing from this post. As usual there is no specific order of the following presented releases.
Blu Mar Ten – Love is the Devil album released lately (October 2011). You can read my review here
A new EP by Metalheadz has released last September , including 4 tracks .The tracks are a new collaboration of Rido and Hybris. More information here
Calibre – Hummer EP on Samurai music. More info for this release here
Tantrum desire runaway Ep on tecnique recordings. More info for this release here
ps: With no doubt , there are several great releases this years which I didnt have time to write something about. Therefore I would be very amazed if you contribute your suggestions for the 2011 highlights, especially regarding full album releases.
The new album of Blu Mar Ten is out since the end of October and its absolutely mind blowing. Blu Mar Ten have really outdone themselves, the “Love is the Devil” is probably one of the best albums this year for the whole electronic music scene. The mellodies in this album come directly from the sky,the vocals are rather compatible with the beats and all together show the way how to produce the perfect album.
Over 90 minutes and 18 songs, I bet you wont lay down your sofa while listening this album. Blu Mar Ten are over 16 years around,recording music, well known for those kind of style of drum n bass.They also run their very own Blu Mar Ten records . Straight from London , Mainstream and atmospheric,but more than everything, an album covered with love. “Love is the devil” is absolutely a massive release , highly recommended by the shituationist institute blog for this year best of.

All Or Nothing
Last week I presented a new selection for the shituationist institute including several dancefloor liquid trqcks such as devotion by Grafix. Grafix sound reminds a lot of netsky tracks. Last year Grafix released two gorgeous tracks at pristine records that you might find intersting for your music library. Night shift and take your time , in a proper hospital style available for download by urban music . Anyways you can listen to them as well bellow this post.
The Austrian liquid drum n bass duo is back with 2 new EPs from the upcoming album cross the line soon available for download in digital format as well as vinyl. From what I listened both (all fall down and make the call) are following the style of the previous album , pop vocals , fast melodic drum n bass , with no doubt trying to reach the mainstream audience. The album is about to be released soon on hospital label , you can buy this release on their website indeed .
I cant really write here that I was fully impressed by both of the EPs , perhaps the only exception could be the track In The Future (feat. Jenna G & Futurebound) and this is because I like Jenna’s vocals. Make the call in both mixes – drum n bass and dubstep was too mainstream for my taste , but easy listening indeed. I rather wait to listen the whole album and write more extensively. You can instantly have a preview of all the track included those new Camo and Krooked release on their myspace here .
As I mentioned to you few weeks ago , on the shituationist instute , we were impantiently waiting the debut album of our beloved Rustie and today here we are: the album was scheduled to be released oficially at the 10th of October. Certainly waiting , was for good.
The Glass Swords album on warp label is an absolutely massive release. In London the album was already presented by rustie at Xoyo as well as this week rustie is presenting the album in Glasgow (check out events list this wednesday). Every track in the album with rythmic switch ups , gorgeous synths combined with 90s rave shit is shaking the UK dancefloors already.With no doubt there is something fresh , progressive and definitely promising for long terms within dubstep scene. In other words , I cant hide my excitement , basically because i was waiting of the album by rustie for some time now , in my opinion one of the best Scottish artists in our days. You can listen the whole album on the website of Gardian here , no registration needed , enjoy. More concerning this release and Warp records at http://warp.net/records/releases/rustie/glass-swords
A new EP by Metalheadz has released last September , including 4 tracks .The tracks are a new collaboration of Rido and Hybris.
The EP sounds familliar to those who like and follow the releases by Metalheadz recently , at least I guess so.
The first track of the EP is “focus by rido” , fast breaks and definitely a very good studio production, the same for the second track by “Rido & Hybris called the first contact”. The third track , which is my favorite of this EP called “please exist by Hybris” is rather more mellodic and good track for the dancefloor , reminding me loads of great past tunes. The last track by Rido together with Hybris named “memento” is actually following the same concept of the previous tracks , nothing really spectacular in the end.If you like to buy this EP , you may visit the website of breakbeat.co.uk
You can listen the tracks bellow starting from my favorite track in this EP
People who follow my posts on this blog for sometime , apparently now that I usually dont really like the hard basslines on drum n bass , rather prefer mellodic stuff , but this release more or less is an exception. Already many of you commended that the hard bassline of the 4 tracks at this EP , could be awesome on the dancefloor. Therefore I decided to make this short post presenting this new release by Fully Submerged Records available for download at breakbeat.co.uk . Planet bass EP , 4 tracks full of hard breaks by a new? artist? abuv… Obviously I dont know much about the artist if any of you know anything please shoot a comment bellow and support the artist. An audio preview of the tracks (silenced , bang bang , astro core , my own home) in this EP here
I read the news on the warp website and i cant hide my excitment. Rustie one of my favorite artists so far is releasing his debut album next month( October 10th) on warp records (well known to all of you) label.
Dubstep vibes , much of artistic potential and great vocals (rather British style) , combined with nice breaks and experimental sounds , great bass and happy atmosphere. All of those are all included to the album indeed. In other words is rustie as I know him since the time I explored his music and attending to a set of him in Athens few years ago. Im posting bellow one of the tracks which is included to his album named late nite (it is avalaible for free download on warp music website). Im will publish soon a full review of the album , for the moment enjoy the nice track bellow.
This is the new EP (released at 22nd of June 2011) of our Australian friend -Dysphemic , a release which I was waiting for some time now. Dubstep-drum n bass-hip hop-glitchhop rythms and vocals are the main feature on this EP , like the previous dysphemic releases indeed. In my opinion the new EP is probably the best one so far , containing 3 tracks ( sloth , begging for more and tunnel vision). Sloth , the first track of this EP , with no doubt , it represents the sound of dysphemic as we know it from the previous tracks and releases. The second track “begging for more” in collaboration with Heinz and the “tunnel vision” with Miss ELisa on the amazing vocals and violin (perhaps my favorite track on this release) gives a taste of what we have to expect on the long awaited classical remix album , soon to be dropping late 2011.
You can download the new dysphemic EP , in any format you like here
Today by surfing on the internet , more specific at the website of the Berlin breakcore label PRAXIS , i found this new release of Vile Enginez with a perfect explosive sound and rather underground atmosphere . Hard breaks , fast broken beats aka breakcore style track available for download on the online shop of Praxis here . If you like breakcore , this is the first track who inspired me after long time to listen for a second time.
The 5th release in the Sub/Version digital series is out now! Vile Enginez is back with a breakcore infused hard tune – check it out here:
