Posted by on January 29, 2014

It’s not everyday that you encounter an artist who in his bio classifies his own music as “one big wet fart,” and then delivers tracks that are up to the caliber (if not above the caliber) of some of the biggest names out there today; so, if you haven’t already heard of SAY MY NAME, now is probably a pretty good time to check him out.

Aside from being able to incorporate a sense of humor into his bass-filled tracks (see the Barney Theme remix [which actually isn’t bad, IMO]), this LA native also has the capacity to make everyone listening want to get on their feet and turn up like there’s no tomorrow. In his most recent track,  a VIP of a previously released “FTS” remix, SAY MY NAME throws it up a level, infusing trap and hardstyle elements over three huge drops. Don’t miss the free download on this one, or I promise you’ll regret it.

For those that are still unfamiliar with Jacuzzi, he’s a young budding producer out of Honolulu who’s been gaining momentum faster than a tsunami in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Recently he’s worked with Mr. Carmack, remixed Santigold’s ‘Disparate Youth’ and released an incredible EP of free original tunes. Jacuzzi’s penchant for arranging punchy staccato drum patterns and overlaying them with dark cinematic sounds has helped him create a signature style, garnering nods of approval from industry juggernauts like Bassnectar, Craze, Pretty Lights and more.

With his latest offering Jacuzzi puts his spin on Tinashe’s sultry R&B joint ‘Vulnerable’. The trap-ish drum progression, menacing strings and Japanese sounding woodwinds mingle quite nicely with Tinashe’s smokey voice in this late-night banger. In a world where everyone is waiting for a wild-ass drop, Jacuzzi shows restraint, keeps his cool and challenges you not to bounce along.

Posted by on January 14, 2014

If you haven’t already, meet Funkystepz, a UK-based bass//garage//house//whatever-tickles-your-fancy producing collective. I’m still playing catch up from my holiday hiatus but their latest release, Loveshy EP, is not to be overlooked. In fact, it’s a really well-rounded EP, with a deep house feel running consistent throughout however also considerably versatile and experimental featuring some incredible vocals. These guys have provided you with a perfect track for whatever mood you may be in. My personal favorites include “Feel The Vibe” feat. Monique (oh, you’ll feel it alright) and the über-funky-moomba-house meets Jersey club, “Light Up” feat. Sim Devine. The EP is available for free download, as well as most of their other releases via Facebook. Get down on it.

Bass, Deep House, Mix | NVOY – Twerktape

Posted by on January 11, 2014

Deep house duo NVOY showcase their sophisticated, dapper style in their sophomore mixtape, Twerktape, redefining the world’s most exploited dance trend in a way that I can totally get down with. In fact, I tested out this mixtape at a pregame the other day and results show that 10 out of 10 party goers were observed to be grooving during playtime. Not bad. Highlights include a variety of refreshingly new (to my radar, at least) deep house and bass tracks, all your favorite NVOY originals, and a remix of “Gas Pedal” that is absolutely legend. So put that champagne on the rocks and the speakers on loud and watch the ladies flock, folks.

Bass, Chill, Deep House, Electronic | W8’s Top 10 Tracks of 2013

Posted by on December 23, 2013

We’re almost there. A few more days and 2013 will be another one for the books. ‘Tis the time to summarize a score of minty fresh jams that didn’t fade away too quickly this year, which is saying a hell of a lot these days. This compilation could have easily had tracks replaced with others, and all would be the same to me. There is just too many to name that are equally as good but I guess narrowing it down to 10 appeals to us all. Note that this vaporwave clip Feeel by Torus above is my favorite video of the year and is why it’s there. All this said I’ll let you get on with it. Have a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year.

Bass, Trap | Enur Ft. Natasja – Calabria 2007 (The Clerk Rmx)

Posted by on December 17, 2013

Enur - Calabria 2007 Feat. Natasja (The Clerk Rmx)“Calabria” was one of my go to tracks back in the days when I was still learning what EDM was. The Clerk went into this and completely evolved it into a sawg-bass, traptastic jam. I would love to hear this blasted in a packed basement, no doubt everyone would be bumping out to this til the sweat shorted out the speakers.
