When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth
I first came across Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs a year back when an EP of his was on special offer on Itunes at 4 tracks for just £1.29. At first I thought these tracks must’ve been on offer because they were crap. But with a name like Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs this guy just had […]

Upon greeting us, Philly-based producer Diplo, who goes by the name of Wes […]

Run to the Hills
So many great producers are coming from Canada these days, John Roman being one of them. In the past months John has been churning out some of the most playable remixes on the internet (his remix of Proxy‘s 8000 is still a staple song in my sets) let alone the 29 stellar remixes he released […]

And It Feels Better Than Love
Hurts, a difficult band to love for some people. “The Hurts sound is emotional electronic music. It’s hopeful music from a place of despair.” explains singer Theo Hutchcraft. Hopeful music from a place of despair. Hopeful music from a place of despair. Oh, okay. Now I get why their image is difficult to love for […]

Man Down Pop Up
CNTRL ALT DEFEAT head resident Ado has gone from strength to strength in the past months, having signed with Wax:On and playing alongside all the biggest names on the electro scene, Ado’s own brand of saturated bass heavy music is quickly taking over!

It’s the Sound of the Police
It seems like Night Slugs and Sound Pellegrino are both killing it respectively as labels at the moment, but one label that has had me hooked from the start with a series of quality releases and compilations since around late last year, is the Portuguese based label Enchufada, ran by the boys out of Buraka […]

The Force of Your Gravity Defines My Tendency
[wpaudio url=”http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5358960/Deepunderground.mp3″ text=”DUBBEL DUTCH – DEEP UNDERGROUND” dl=”0″] The past week has been very gracious in its quality releases. It’s rare to see a constant stream of great new tracks to surface nowadays, but I’m starting to regain my faith in humanity. The most notable EP that has had me reigned over me completely lately […]

Like a Satellite Careening through the Sky
Everyones probably experienced that moment in a club or festival where a dj drops a big tune and everyone goes ‘Woahhhhhhhahhhhhhh’. Drinks get spilled, people get barged and that token small girl finds herself grinding the floor, fighting for her life. ‘Baggy Bottom Boys‘ by Canadian duo Jokers Of The Scene successfully blew me into […]

Still Killing It
Last year Deathface‘s Blood Has Gone Black Mix was by far one of the most played mixes on my library, packed with tonnes of unreleased tracks that I was eager to get my grubby little hands on. It has taken roughly a year for these gems to see the light of day, in the form of […]

Something Like A Movie
Today I found out Femme en Fourrure means woman in fur in English (which is kind of logical now that I think of it), and I found out Drop The Lime means lâche le citron in French. The more you know! The musically and esthetically beautiful Helsinki duo Femme en Fourrure got the bass vampire from NY to […]

Etched Like a Headplate
It seems like all the kids on the streets at the moment just want to make bangers. Nothing wrong with bangers mind you. I love bangers, but when I find a 17 year old producer going by the name of Etch, making beats like Flying Lotus and Mount Kimbie, it just makes me let out […]
