Dubstep, Preview | Koven – No Blocks
Posted by Mach on February 12, 2013
People need to know Koven. His upcoming EP, “More Than You” is going to be a chart topper, I can just feel it. He incorporates the melodic vibes that everyone loves but also rocks bass to your core like no other. “No Blocks” is what Koven does. The melody takes you for a smooth ride until you meet the drop, and from there it sends chilling bass through you until the next lull. Koven’s EP “More Than You” releases on March 4th through Viper Recordings.

Electronic, House | Funky Friday #1
Posted by Mach on January 25, 2013
The on going joke between my friend Nammo and myself is that we should have lived our 20s in the 1970s. We just love the funky, disco vibes that just make you want to feel good and break it down. There isn’t anything wrong with a little funk in the week so I decided to start up Funky Friday. This dance filled post will contain Funk, Bass Funk, Disco-House, basically any and everything that could connect with your funky bone. Starting off the first Funky Friday is an epic vinyl only release from Ghetto Funk. It is probably one of the greatest things I have ever heard. Again it is vinyl only release on Jan. 28th. These previews are worth dipping into though.
Next is a golden Disco-House remix from RUNVS. This is my tune of the weekend, I just can’t get enough of it.
This De La Phunk remix is a sort of lounge Disco-House to start, but then two minutes in the finally piece of the puzzle breaks in. This would be such an awesome song to hear live and loud, feeling the beat pound into your chest and exhale through your legs.
It wouldn’t be a funky post without Aeroplane’s Miami synths. 1980s styled Disco-House with a little bit of that Miami spirit going through your speakers.
Dubstep | Anita Ward – Ring My Bell (Kill Paris Remix)
Posted by Spice on January 15, 2013
Anita Ward’s disco mainstay gets a funky, unexpected facelift in Kill Paris’s latest remix. The young producer’s bass-heavy treatment of this 70s classic works way better than you’d expect — he expertly retools the vocals in a way that vibes perfectly with the updated sound of the remix. Kill Paris is another one to watch in 2013 — check out his Soundcloud for loads more free downloads if this is the first you’re hearing of him.

Dubstep, Glitch | Sambassadeur – Memories (Owen Bones Remix)
Posted by Mach on December 22, 2012
Up and coming producer Owen Bones delivers an awesome electro… um… abstract, bassy thing? Well the genre really isn’t important, haha. Having a little bit of everything thrown into this track, Owen Bones created something worth more than a single listen in one sitting. Aspiring to work with Diplo, Owen Bones is an 18 year old Chicago native who has been producing for only a year now. I think he would be an awesome Purple Bass producer if he committed to the style. Owen has incredibly creative vibes throughout this entire remix.

Drum & Bass | Wilkinson – Need To Know / Direction
Posted by Sev on December 16, 2012
Wilkinson has been involved in the Dnb scene for quite some time now, but doesn’t seem to get the recognition he deserves. His latest two sided release of Need to Know / Direction has been played at least 10 times in the past week every single day in my playlist. Need To Know is an outstanding, uplifting drum & bass track that sends out such great positive vibes. You don’t see these kind of emotional tracks come around too often, but this track gets the adrenaline pumping. To complement this great track Wilkinson has a nice Nero-Funk, old school sounding track entitled Direction along with the release. This is more along the darker side, but both tracks have amazing craftsmanship.

Electro-House | The Two Friends – Big Booty Mix, Volume 2
Posted by Mach on October 30, 2012
Haha, well isn’t this a sweet surprise. It wasn’t too long ago that The Two Friends graced us with their Acoustic cover of their hit “Solitaire.” Now we bring you The Two Friends’ epic mashup mixtape, “Big Booty Mix, Volume 2.” I was not familiar with their first mix so after being sent this gem, I had to take a peak into the past. I have to say while Volume 1 is still full of great hits, there are finer booties in Volume 2. The further I tiptoed into this mix, the louder my footsteps became discovering the great vibes controlled throughout this amazing hour of BIG bootlegs. Keep your eyes peeled, this duo has a few more tricks up their sleeves.
