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!

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'.

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.

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.

Rameses B. - Deeper [Free Download]


Well, this is undoubtedly one of the deepest and heart-warming tunes that my ears have digested in a very long time. There is no need to be overwhelmed with heavy drops or smashing synths when you have something as beautiful as this. Rameses B. is an electronic music artist based in the UK, who has been writing and producing music since 2003. He's extremely diverse in terms of genres as he produces Drum n bass, Dubstep, Electro House, Progressive, Trance, Chillout and various other styles. He has generously posted up 'Deeper' for free download and as mentioned before, it's definitely breath-taking and slips you into a 'deeper' trance where nothing but the music can affect you. Click his soundcloud, so you can follow him to hear more of his productions and find out a little more about him (the download link is also provided with 'Deeper').

Not quite sure when D-jahsta originally put this up for free download, so if you already have it then you're obviously set ;) If you don't, then you need to stop RIGHT now and click DOWNLOAD before your balls shrink into peas or your boobs sag to the pavement :D
