Bring the Boom Back with a Bassline

Some of the biggest names in the scene right now come together on this massive fusion of breaks and dubstep.  You can hear a piece of each artist in the track and really get a great vibe from it from beginning to end.  I know it's just a tease with it still being a work in progress but you'll be guaranteed a killer final cut!  The Zombies are coming, make sure you grab your boomstick...

So this one definitely takes me back...copped it on vinyl shortly after its release from Juno.  Breaks based on basslines were the thing to do and I couldn't have agreed more.  Aquasky always brings it pretty hard but this time he's building the pressure.  Vox are done by an unknown vocalist which the Breakfastaz never revealed to Aquasky.  If you have a clue on who it may be drop it on his soundcloud!

Here's the latest from Krafty Kuts making instant vibes with a mainstay mc from the ill crew, Sporty O.  The old school disco feel in the intro drop down into the dirty lightweight wobbly bassline you're used to hearing from Krafty.  The hook from Sporty is catchy as usual accompanied by a funky breakdown make the feelin' just right.  The dubby breakdown towards the end gets that dow low energy and brings it straight away back to the breaky goodness for the outtro.

Breaking 1,000 Hits and Broken Beats

Thanks everyone for helping me break 1,000 hits on the blog, glad to see you're diggin' the content!  I have some plans in store for the rest of the year and beyond so keep checkin back for new industry info, tunes, and maybe even some swag.  Now onto what's up and up in the world of electronic dance music!

I was talking with Curtis B of Illeven Eleven Recordings yesterday and was tipped off to some new track previews on his soundcloud.  He's got new collab work up with some dope artists soon to hit beatport and other digital music distribution avenues.  Also lined up in the near future for him are some international acts in both Spain and Canada!  My personal fave out of the three is "Headrush" with the 8-bit synth intro to the side-chained lead synth.  Pretty good way to start off the new year the ill way!

Breakbeat Banger with Gustolab

Fixx and Keith McKenzie do it again along with Gustolab on the Holla If You See Me EP out now on Beatport.  Gustolab is out of NYC and dropped a hot remix on i11even eleven with two of my fave vocalists over breaks -- Sue Cho and Whiskey Pete.  Originally from Peru he moved to Miami when he was 20 and fell in love with EDM.  After making moves in Miami he relocated to Brooklyn  to start his own production company and keep on the grind.  Here's just a quick preview of his remix and his 2011 mix to get you bumpin'!
