KGreen – Let’s Get It EP


When in doubt about the state of Electronica, look to the Uk. It’s been going on for minute, but the spillage is making it’s way much more readily these days. Deep House, Uk Garage and Bass are getting fushion treatment in only a way that a country that has shaped much of the modern world could. Western culture does include music after all. London’s KGreen with LA’s Loin Records first worldwide release. Available now on iTunes, Beatport and Traxsource.

Birthday Boy – Sacramento


The Eastern seaboard of the True North has, alike it’s Western counterpart, proven lush when it comes to the beat scene. Soulection and others have laid the groundwork for a beatutifel Hip Hop x Electronic wurld. Thus the strong and free have been carving a mouth watering section to hold high. Toronto based Birthday represents this demographic, and infuses a slightly lighter Jazz element to this game. The results may vary on the groovesacale, but his tracks always place high. Hold up for his ‘Colors’ EP, coming soon.

Noble Oak – Saturn


Vancouver producer Noble Oak defines himself, or his Soundcloud page at catalog as “space pop / endless drift.” And if the name Saturn doesn’t mean anything to yous cosmos connoisseur’s, then your in need of a bigger telescope or something. Maybe a non imaginary one cause it’s kind of a big deal is the size of things scheme. You probably don’t even like space if this is the case..
All accusatory serious-less aside it’s a real drifter. Ripe for all those cool down occasions with a someone special.

Lancelot – Givin’ It Up feat. Anthony & Cleopatra (Sinistarr Bootleg)


For the seventeenth installment of the Seclus Jockey free single series Detroit’s chameleon producer, Sinistarr lives up to reptilian reputation. Receiving praise for infusing all kinds of underground into a vocaly charged Deep House bassline. The originality marks itself a unique release on reputable Street Bass label, Seclusiasis. The track made it’s way to light via vibe.com premier.

RÜFÜS – Sundream (TÂCHES Remix)


Mmm. A good shot to the loins for froth. The Spaniards seduction methods transcend language, it’s a cultural thing. The Barcelonian take on the Aussie trio’s single ‘Sundream‘ is a splendour reminder to wear one’s sunscreen whilst enjoying one’s summer bliss. TÂCHES remix out on Columbia Records September 8th.

James Nasty – Do It (Tittsworth Remix)


A triumphant return to summer air filling uptempo bass. In the form of heavy Baltimore club, an often forgotten leg of bass music. DJ Sega might be the best known Bmore representative to many but there are numbers in history of artists who have shaken and clapped booties with this way back style.
Highly recommended.
