Inner Child

Just had this through and I thought I'd blog it up 'cos it's for a good cause, and it's pretty close to what we're doing here this week! Maybe it's Bass Music Albums for Charities Month or something?

Anyway, US crews Household Management and Abstract Logic Recordings are co-ordinating this project. 100% of all profits go to Dream House For Kids which is a charity based in Atlanta, caring for kids with special medical/care needs. It features tracks donated by the likes of Blu Mar Ten, Stagga, DZ, NAPT and bassmusicblog contributors Atomic Hooligan - so it's definitely worth checking out. It's released on March 22nd through all major digital outlets.

Being modern types, they've offered up two tracks for free as part of the promotion - from B.Rich's new deeper side-project Kastle, and from Manchester grime veterans Virus Syndicate, who we're big fans of round these parts. Grab these now and look out for the album in a couple of weeks time.

• Kastle - You Got The Love

• Virus Syndicate - Get Down

1. 2 Cents - "Help Me"
2. Atomic Hooligan - "I'm Only Dancing"
3. Blu Mar Ten - "Nobody Here"
4. Broke DJs - "Knuckle Duster"
5. Charlie P featuring Saejma - "Reach Inside"
6. Charlie P featuring Too Phaced - "Rollin' Out"
7. Doshy - "Sunset"
8. DZ - "Garage Mirage"
9. Hot Mess - "Represent"
10. J.Rabbit - "Spanish Fly"
11. Kastle - "You Got The Love"
12. Mindelixir - "Nomuras"
13. NAPT - "Work This Out (12 Inch Dub)"
14. Quad Control - "In A Rutt"
15. Specimen A - "Go"
16. Stagga - "Rub On Ya Bassbins"
17. Terravita - "Early Morning Rain"
18. Terry Mullan - "Is This Acid?"
19. Trill Bass vs Mark Instinct & Symbl - "Garage Rock"
20. Virus Syndicate - "Get Down"
21. Zeno - "Sensi Star"

DJ Canyon - Wild Jack Salt Mix & Free Album

Every so often I get pointed towards something that totally stands apart from all the stuff I'd been posting/listening lately, and really piques my curiosity. It usually involves someone that is totally into what they're doing, and this week I came across this dude DJ Canyon. He's got two projects to shout about this month - firstly his new DJ mix, which is a world-tour of beats, from Africa to South America via Brooklyn, Baltimore and London. He gives a short paragraph about each track, which is something I really enjoy when I see it on a mix, especially if you don't know half the artists (like Edison Victrola, or the Pachugo Boogie Band). A bit like reading the liner notes on a new CD, if you're a dinosaur like me who remembers when music came on strange silver discs.

So yeah, anyway, listen below or check full details here. Big.

Wild Jack Salt by DJ Canyon

The other thing he's been playing at is quite odd - recording a 'flamenco hip-hop' album in Spain. I told you he was really into this stuff. This was, apparently, funded by a Fulbright Scholar research grant; I have no idea what this is but I want one. In fact I could do with half a dozen of them, truth be told. But yeah, it features 16 assorted live musicians, and in my humble one seems to be a fairly traditional Spanish album with influences from electronic music and US funk/soul structures. Unlike the mix above, it's not gonna be a dancefloor smacker, it's pretty chilled and pretty folksy, but it's one of those things that you're quite glad there's somebody out there doing this kind of thing.

It's also completely free, so instead of reading my inane chatter, why not get out there and decide for yourself? Full details and download link here.

HeavyFeet 2010:

So, we return!

We've been keeping a bit of a low profile for the last few months (with the expection of our Zinc remix - Killa Sound - coming out on Bingo) as we've been extremely busy working on a new project, the birth of our own label, Stamp! Beats.

Beginning in April, and for the following twelve months we'll be releasing twelve singles, each comprising of an original vocal track, a club mix and guest remix. The original of each monthly release will be given away for free through a variety of online resources (incl. Bass Music Blog), encouraging people to download, feedback on and share our new original material.

In the meantime, here's a couple of new audio delights for you to download or stream:

more Free Stuff: Nosaj Thing: IOIO

Right then, normal service is resumed, as we continue to scour the web to find cool stuff to point you in the direction of.

And what better way to start than this little number by the engagingly named Nosaj Thing? Ahead of his appearance next week at Fabric as part of the RMBA / Brainfeeder night (see flyer above, looks like it'll be a superb affair) he's giving away his track 'IOIO'. Which is pretty handy because it's my favourite track of his, and it's a great way to get into his mellow but detailed and sonically compelling sound. Which is what you should do now:

Download: Secret Agent Gel - 6AM Shuffle

(pic by sencha)

You might remember Secret Agent Gel from last week, when I posted his DJ mix up here - well, it featured a really tidy percussive/funky track, all crisp drums and tight sub, and he's just sent it over for us to offer up to you. There's a catch mind - it's a 128K mp3 file; it's for the iPod crews I guess, while he sorts a release for the DJs, but grab it and have a listen anyway. Top stuff.

Pixelord - Quartz Boy (Coco Bryce Fake Skweee Mix)

Just grabbed this from the crew over at Lowriders Collective. It's part of a forthcoming remix album and this is a free promo download from it - it's a remix from Coco Bryce (who is not, as his Soundcloud page would suggest, a resident of Papua New Guinea). Anyway, it's called the 'fake skweee' remix, and it's it's a wonky, downbeat, bassheavy track that's well worth 2mins 48 of your time. Have a blast here:

Culture System mix

Just been digging this mix from Waer Rock, who writes the cool NY-based 'Culture System' blog. It's broadly dubstep(ish), but cooler - more in the way of tribal beats, rolling rhythms, some funky, some deeper stuff but still quite driving. Definitely feeling this one. Pretty interesting looking tracklisting, and what's cool is that they've used some tunes that were given away for free on the net, but rather than keep these gems to themselves, they've linked us up, so everyone can share the wealth. Get hunting!

Check the mix here.

00:01 - Sepalcure - "The Warning" - (dub)
02:33 - Nehuen - "Chased In The Woods" - (forthcoming Corsario Riddems)
04:55 - zgomot - "Samuri Dub" - (free download)
06:18 - "Cosmetics" - "Ratas" - (dub)
07:57 - TK Wonder - "Just The Way (Bagir's RMX)" - (dub)
09:37 - Stereotyp feat. Tikiman - "Get Up Stand Up" - (free download)
12:52 - Zuzuku - "Paso Campeon (PDP RMX)" - (dub)
14:54 - Pavel Ambiont - "Peace Dub (Unsound Edit)" - (free download)
17:18 - Thesis - "Hardstep" - (dub)
20:38 - Dave Sharma - "How To Move" - (dub)
23:25 - Djunya - "On The Verge" - (dub)
25:57 - Cosmin TRG - "Now You Know" - (free download)
27:56 - These Are Powers - "World Class Peoples - (Cosmetics RMX)" (forthcoming Rvng)

Free release from Bug

Here's a free release, from a new label 'Jus Like Music'. I don't know if all their stuff is going to be free, but this one is, and it's a downbeat/jazz kind of number from newcomer Bug which has been garnering a fair bit of praise from the likes of Ty and Debruit. They've got some pretty nice websites, this crew, and I'm wondering how this whole 'free' thing is gonna work out for them - but for now, enjoy these blunted beats.

Delphic - Halcyon (LVis 1990 mix)

Slug of the moment LVis1990 has been cooking up some corkers, and here is another one - his remix of 'Halycon' by Delphic. Notably better than the original, but then hey - who am I to decide? You can judge for yourself. So anyway, for some reason Polydor have decided to allow the release of his mix in full 320k glory, so check it out and download here. Rhythmically it bears a certain relation to 'United Groove' but that was wicked so we'll allow that. Bright bright synths, dark dark subs, not too much vocal - win.
