MartyParty

Some San Francisco based Dubstep for you now, courtesy of The Confluence Group, in the form of MartyParty.

He describes himself as IDM based Hip Hop, which actually might be more apt considering some of the things going on in his sonic landscape, but it’s still Dubstep, and some pretty fine Dubstep it is too! Intricate sounds filter in and out and give way to aggressive leads throughout his original track ‘Shorty’, but his reMix of The XX’s ‘Infinity’ is the real standout here with all the elements you want from a storming Dubstep tune.

MartyParty’s début is out in June, until them throw some MySpace love his way:

Jakwob reMixes Audio Bullys

AudioBullys

Jakwob has gone and got his dirty little Dubstep hands on Audio Bullys forthcoming single ‘Only Man’

Probably the hottest Dubstep reMixer around right now, Jakwob totally flips it with a retro 80’s lead line over his usual brand of dark synth Dub.

♫ Audio Bullys – Only Man (Jakwob reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘Only Man’ is released 22nd March and also includes a reMix from Reset!

Nocturnal Sunshine

Maya Jane Coles, 50% (and main production force) of the wonderful Dubstep duo She Is Danger, is ready to unveil her new project, Nocturnal Sunshine, in the form of this track ‘Dirty Secret’, a blog first right here!

The track is big, warping, bass injection, combining elements of Dubstep, chilled Electronics and Tech-House. Dark, atmospheric and erotic, ‘Dirty Secret’ drags the deep ‘Fetish House’ of the late 1990’s kicking and screaming into 2010, forcing it to submit to the bass.

Maya manages to take snippets of may different styles of Electronic music and wrap them all up with a heavy, heavy, Dub bow, as you can hear from these two other examples of her work. ‘Don’t Believe The Hype’, a solo tune, mashes more traditional Dub with a 4/4 beat resulting in a late night (early morning?) chilled carnival anthem, while back with She Is Danger, this cover of Eurythmics’ ‘Whose That Girl?’ is an absolute killer. She Is Danger’s subby Dubstep seems a perfect fit for this track!

Maya has been fairly prolific for a 23 year old with reMixes for the likes of Massive Attack, Groove Armada, MSTRKRFT & Ellie Goulding and releases under a number of different aliases.

Esser’s ‘Headlock’ reMixed by Midnight Conspiracy

Esser’s ‘Headlock’ is getting on a bit now, but it was a good tune, so it’s nice to see it brought back to life by Chicago’s Midnight Conspiracy.

We previously featured their reMix of Chromeo’s ‘Night By Night’, this time it’s not the Dreamwave road they are travelling, oh no. Here, they treat us to some real deep dark Dubstep, and it works so well! Midnight Conspiracy lay down some throbbing subs to rival anything coming out of Bristol or LDN!

So we’ve had Dreamwave/Italo and Dubstep, pretty exited to hear what Midnight Conspiracy tackle next!

XI

Some late night Dubstep for you right about now courtesy of Torontonian producer XI who’s about to drop a new EP on Bristol’s Immerse Records.

‘000’ and it’s flip side ‘Slippin’’ are two heavy bass monsters with a nod to the Electro side of things, both delivering warped, evolving Electronics over some killer subs.

She Is Danger out-Dub Massive Attack

MassiveAttack

Massive Attack’s long awaited new album, ‘Heligoland’, drops on 8th February. Normally a new Massive Attack album is something to look forward to, but I think I am more so this time as it features a couple of tracks featuring vocals by Martina Topley-Bird, one of my favourite vocalists.

‘Girl I Love You’ isn’t one of them, but it has been given a heavy, heavy, Dub reMix by She Is Danger, who we have featured a couple of times before. Our favourite Dubstep girls play an almost flawless Dub game with slight Industrial overtones. Horace Andy’s recognisable vocals just ride what could be and old school Massive Attack track itself (albeit slightly more Electronic sounding). London? Are we sure these girls aren’t from Bristol?

♫ Massive Attack – Girl I Love You (She Is Danger reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

If you’re into heavy beats and bass in any way She Is Danger are defiantly one outfit to keep an eye on!

Don’t Wait Animate

Something a little different again, this time in the shape of Don’t Wait Animate, a new, post-Nu-Rave, Indie-Electro act from East London.

Seemingly carving out a new genre all of their own they are kinda’ like Hadouken! with less shouting and more songs, and more influenced by Dubstep rather than The Prodigy. Rimshot Dub beats and noisy electronics provide a base for jagged guitars and socially aware vocals in their forthcoming single “6174” released in April on Barhouse Records.

The band have already jumped at the chance to reMix band-of-the-moment Delphic’s amazing ‘Doubt’, turning it into a heavy, heavy, Dubstep monster!

Don’t Wait Animate are running a reMix competition for their forthcoming release here.

Keep and eye on their MySpace for release details:

She Is Danger’s début EP

We’ve already featured their remix of Ellie Goulding’s ‘Under The Sheets’, so with the forthcoming release of their début EP we though it was time we devoted some words to She Is Danger. The London duo of Lena Cullen and Maya Jane Coles, already impressing with their reMix skills, are about to drop some monster Dubstep of their own.

‘Hurt You’, with it’s dual female vocals and almost Garage beat, is a pretty unique take on Dubstep. they’ve been compared to Portishead, a lot, but I see more Kosheen in them, especially in some of the vocals. they’re like Kosheen run through a Dub bass machine!

And check their wonderfully Dubby reMix of Kitsuné’s tune of the moment, Crystal Fighters’ ‘I Love London’:

‘Hurt You’ is dropping on Beatport very soon, keep it locked to She Is Danger’s MySpace:

M.I.A. new song-ish

mia2

Well, not really a new song.

Death To The Throne, last seen reMixing Lykke Li have put together this grinding Electro Dubstep Mash-Up/reMix of M.I.A.‘s ‘Bucky Dun Gun’, ‘Pull Up To The People’ and ‘Jimmy’.

Sounds great actually, and new tunes is new tunes!

♫ M.I.A. – New Song (Death To The Throne reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

It’s called ‘New Song’ because, in Death To The Throne’s own words:

“1. It’s made up of small bite-sized chunks of 3 different M.I.A. acapellas; therefore would be far too difficult to write “Bucky Dun Gun” + “Pull Up To The People” + “Jimmy (Death To The Throne Remix)…aka “Bucky Dun Pulled Up The Gun On Jimmy” or something.

2. (God forbid) that if M.I.A. were to ever die, her record label would probably pump out regurgitated crap like this all day long i.e. Tupac, Biggie, etc..

3. It’ll be funny seeing people go ape shit over a post containing the words “New M.I.A. Song.””

Fair enough.

Click, click, ker-ching!

Hervé gives Lily ‘The Fear’

lilyallen21

As I mentioned here Lily Allen has gone all ElectroPop, so I’ll be interested to hear her new album, ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’.

In the meantime Hervé, also known as The Count (i.e. that bloke from The Count & Sinden), has come up with this reMix of ‘The Fear’, the first single form the album, that turns it from a piano-fueled electronic Pop ditty into a dark Dubstep bassfest with some seriously traumatizing synthwork.
