Interview Updates






Okay, so it's been a little while since I posted my interviews up, so it's time I caught you guys up. I have been doing a lot of my interviews for Dubstep Toronto as well, so you will be redirected to our site www.dubsteptoronto.ca in order to read some of them! Enjoy,   there are still many more interviews coming in the near future (Majistrate, Matrix & Futurebound, Figure etc.). Oh - and one more thing - the image you see above is one out of the 6 designs I have set for Bassline-Therapy t-shirts. Inbox me at l_heidtke_4lyfe@hotmail.com if you wish to purchase one.

Nasca Records: Mindscape Release


Mindscape

A. Mindscape - Ultrasonik
B. Mindscape & Sleeper Cell - Epidemic
Label: Nasca Records
Cat #: NASCA010
Format: 12" Vinyl & Download
Released: 22nd August 2011


Ultrasonik spreads positive vibes all around with its danceable beat and beautifully produced synths. This tune is definitely meant to cause an explosion on the dance floor, causing the crowd to rinse maximum vibes and forget all the worries in the world. Unlike Epidemic, Mindscape achieved a utopian vibe that touches the hearts of every Drum and Bass fan.

B. Mindscape & Sleeper Cell - Epidemic[Listen on Soundcloud]

Heavy, hard-hitting and absolutely ruthless. Love the raw sounds of neurofunk/technoid DnB. Mindscape & Sleeper Cell created a dark atmosphere in Epidemic that steer's clear from anything even remotely close to the softer sounds of Ultrasonik. Tie up your laces, slip on your black bandana and rinse in the midst of the night in a dark room loaded with unlimited bass.

DUB MOTION... get to know.


Okay, so if there's one up-n-coming Drum and Bass artist you need to know about it's definitely this guy. Dub Motion has only been producing for a little over a year now and is already spewing out bangers that instantly send chills down my spine and gives me goosebumps. He is located in London, UK, and deserves some serious exposure and recognition for his disgussssting productions. He has a new EP titled Origin forthcoming on Illusive Insight consisting of four tracks: Origin (click to listen), Hold Ya Head, Illuminati and Requiem. Each tune has their own unique elements that bring them together and present a variety of darkness. Personally, Origin is holding it down for me, but each song is nothing less than a big stompin' banger. Check his tunes out on Youtube, or follow him on Soundcloud (more wicked tunes)!

Delilah - Go (S.P.Y remix)



I couldn't refrain myself from posting about this tune. S.P.Y's remix of Delilah's 'Go' is satisfyingly dark, undoubtedly deep and successfully lifts my spirit into a "Music Lovers Heaven". I don't know about you, but this song is blasted at high volume in my residence or on my headphones at least 5 times a day. If you haven't already heard this tune, then be prepared to be blown away with powerful, heart-snatching vocals and highly contagious basslines. Now, we wait for its release on Atlantic Records - please come faster!!

Konichi - Rush Hour [Free D/L]


Konichi is quickly making his way into the DnB scene with numerous jump up chunes that are absolute MADNESS. He recently turned 18 this past week and continues to impress his fans and other known artists with his consistency and untouchable productions. He is known for giving away a few tunes for free here and there and today I have another one for you titled 'Rush Hour'. More recently, he has also been presenting some serious bass-heavy productions such as 'Slugger' and 'Visionary' - two undeniable rollers that will have you bouncing those shoulders from left to right; right to left.

Moombahcore chune [Free Download]


Everyone keeps talking about this new genre called Moombaton, but there seems to be a plethora of sub-genres that branch into a reggaeton feel, an electro-house feel and a few others. I found this tune on Soundcloud, labelled as moombahcore and I am definitely feeling it's vibe as it gives a variety of different sounds from different genres and molds them into this one piece of artwork. The tune is a remix of Dark Elixir's 'Head Slung' and is remixed by Kreature & LMNOP's Correct Technique. Give it a listen to decide whether you're feeling this new style of music and if you like what you're hearing like I did, then it has the option of a free download. Enjoy!

All I can say is this is one noisy track that is sure to make any crowd go absolutely BUCK. Hail up Nation from France! Up for free download via Soundcloud. 

Dexcell - Drum n Bass - Free Download



I introduce you to the Drum n Bass trio DEXCELL. Based in Britain, these three know how to successfully deliver a beautiful melody that will make you sway from side-to-side. Together, they have recently founded a new record labeled named Breach Recordings that is meant to focus on various styles of genres and serve as an outlet for other upcoming and established producers within the DnB community. Within the past week or so, they have posted up TWO tunes that are up for free download and I immediately fell in love with both of them. The first song is a remix of Inna's 'Hot' and the second one is a remix of Templecloud's 'One Big Family'.

(You can also download their 2011 mix posted 8 days ago from here)

Drumsound and Bassline Smith Exclusive mix for Mistajam on Radio 1 [Free Download]


Drumsound and Bassline Smith did an exlcusive mix for Mistajam on BBC Radio1 about a month ago and it's infested with dance floor smashers that could even make the grumpy old man in the corner dance his touchy off. Not only is it full of some of the biggest tunes in DnB right now, but it's also up for free download - winning! To be honest, I'm dancing in my seat as I type this, so take my word when I say the  positive vibes are quite contagious. Don't forget to check out the links to the Soundcloud and Facebook! Also, if you haven't heard the new tune 'Close' yet, make sure you give it a proper listen via the Soundcloud; yoi yoi yoi.

CARMAGEDDON by GRIDLOK [FREE D/L]


Yesterday, GRIDLOK posted a new mix titled 'CARMAGEDDON' on his soundcloud and as a bonus it's up for download - pretty sure it has a maximum of 1000 though, so get it while it's still available. Track list is also included. This mix takes you on a journey through the deeper, darker and heavier side of DnB - only for the true heads!  I can only imagine how this mix would destroy any dark-lit venue completed with a heavy-duty sound system that would blow the bass into your face and out the soles of your steppin' shoes.

Seduction and Tweaky have already received support from Skream, Dj Fresh, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Eddie Temple-Morris, Mistajam, Adam F and many more. They've already showcased and mastered their skills in Dnb, so now it's time they showed you what they could do with the dark side - trust me when I say it's nothing short of their talent in Dnb.

MATRIX FREE SHOW IN TORONTO!




















FREE BEFORE 11 PEOPLE! He already performed in Toronto on Saturday with Futurebound, but since he's down here for a bit longer we get to see him again - and for a deal that can't be beat at that. Only $5 after 11p.m, which is still a steal for one of the biggest legends in Drum n bass! Performing alongside are two other extremely talented dj's/producer: NC-17 and Mr. Brown! No excuses, a huge UK headliner and a night of alcohol and Drum n bass.. it doesn't get any better - just saying.

Twist - Fix Up [FREE DL] & BBC Radio 1 Mix

Twist posted a new tune on his Soundcloud today up for a FREE download. The tune is called 'Fix Up' and it pretty much crushes your brain with its relentless and explosive bass. If you're in Toronto, then make sure you don't miss both Torqux & Twist destroying bassmentality at Wrongbar 27th July 2011. If you haven't already checked it out, then also listen to Twists minimix for BBC Radio1 that was posted over 3 months ago - also up for free download. 

Interview with Jade [Hungary]


Alright, so I know this is way overdue, but Jade has been touring for the past 2 months, so he just got back to me recently with the interview! This is the first one I have done through an e-mail rather than in person, but it's an extremely good read if you're into his music, or even into production really. I must say though, I find it quite odd that Hungary is banned from itunes, a big w-t-f right? Anyways, all photos used within this write-up were shot and provided on the night of Jades performance in Toronto by none other than Mista Mensa! A big thanks goes out to him for letting me use his amazing images for this interview. Enough chit-chat from me, the interview is a bit longer in length, so I'll let you get started :) Click HERE to be redirected to the interview page, so you can download my interview with the one and only JADE.

MATRIX & FUTUREBOUND IN TORONTO! 07/16/11

I recently posted about the release of their AMAZING Worldwide 001 LP, so it's no surprise that the launch party in Toronto will live up to the expectations surrounding this anticipated night.
