Medicine Crunk II: Moon Medicine

admin
May 7, 2015

Post Image
The recent full moon in Scorpio this past Monday brings a time of cleansing and release. Scorpio represents emotional depth, sexual intimacy, complexity, and mystery. Unafraid of darkness, the scorpion believes in shared values and resources; harboring an intensity that enables powerful transformations to take place. Accept, embrace and release the intensity that this moon cycle will bring. 
 
We wouldn’t doubt that An-Ten-Nae’s second “Medicine Crunk” release intentionally paralleled itself with the new full moon, as his sound causes you to focus on dark and light, mirroring our current astrological shift. For years, the “crunk” pioneer has found a way to refresh and re-stylize a genre that can become extremely stale and overdone. 
 
“Anthems for the people” is how we would describe the bass artist’s latest medicinal mixtape. An-Ten-Nae incorporates tracks that present a message of positivity and perseverance through the dark; encouraging us to “rising again” during a time of overcoming, and hopefully, reinventing for all of us. 
 
Deep, mysterious, and emotional tracks incorporate tribal chanting and wordily sounds separate from our current time and space. An-ten-nae counteracts his hypnotic sound by balancing in offsets of heavy, synth-forward electronic tracks that bring a lighter quality to his self-proclaimed sub-genre. The weave of the two sounds create a dramatic shift, much  like the full moon in Scorpio.

With live performances laced with finger-drumming, controllerism, and seamless DJing and heavy controller use, Mad Zach is one of Native Instruments’ lead endorsed performance artists as well as one of electronic music’s most bass slapping, mind bending, and brain melting future bass producers in the game. That being said, “future” is a wild understatement when describing Zach’s dark and heavy style, which lies at the intersection of hip hop, glitch, dub, and trap, all the while, still remaining uniquely its own. From his combination of analog tones and digital precision, Mad Zach has made himself one of future bass’s most sought after up-and-coming producers.

After already releasing his Kräftig EP this year; along with other various remixes and collaborations, Mad Zach has blessed fans with yet another 2015 EP release, entitled Quantum Shock. This 10 track bass oriented, booty-shaking masterpiece includes 5 originals, a thunderous collaboration with G Jones, and remixes from Bleep Bloop, Pixelord, Amp Live, and Conrack.

Stream Mad Zach’s diverse, future bass Quantum Shock EP below or buy it at “Name Your Price” here!

100 Stacks: "Essential Music For The Midnight Minded"

Over the course of last month, Lucidity Festival 2015 artist and up-and-coming NorCal trapstar, Shlump, leaked one free beat a week from his forthcoming EP, 100 Stacks. With the release of its final track, “123,” just last week, 100 Stacks is now a fully released, 4-track hitter from the budding bass artist.

Exploring his more tribal, experimental taste, 100 Stacks proves to be one of Shlump’s most diverse low-end, bass explorations to date. While lacing the EP with his bubbly, quacky watermarks, Shlump made sure that each track had it’s own personality. From the dubstep influenced filth of the track “Unstoppable,” to the dance hall riddem anthem, “123,” to the EP’s booty shaking title track, 100 Stacks demonstrates Shlumpas one of California’s most forward-thinking and influential trap and bass producers.

Listen to Shlump’s traptastic 100 Stacks EP and grab it for free below!

Sherlock [Promo Mix 015]

Moving to Bordeaux, France, in the pursuit of furthering his education, Sam Bassett AKA Sherlock, emits a fresh energy and bass-y buzz into the EDM wave that has taken over the world. For an artist fully inspired by his environment, a move proved to be a source of inspiration for the young creative, mentioning,  “I would really love to try producing in the great outdoors one day, like on a treehouse or on top of a mountain, I think it would really broaden my horizons.” 

Only tapping into producing three years ago, Sherlock quickly discovered the sound he needed to stand out in a stream of artists seemingly stuck in a rut replicating each other. For every one standout and innovative producer, there are about 100 more trying to replicate his/her style- Sherlock is a case of the former, an artist who is truly pushing the bounds of creativity with a truly novel style.Entering the scene with what he would define as a progression of “gritty [and] dark grime, to weird house stuff;” today Sherlock’s brainchild is a sound that we both have difficulty placing. The most obvious “future bass” denotation is favored, but hearing his music you realize there is much more. Bassett’s style is cooly calculated and elaborate, even within his mix, his tracks completely stand out in the best way possible. Super dreamy and wavy, Sherlock utilizes avant-garde artists to compliment his new age bass and capricious synth work, often taking the listener for an unexpected, but fully welcome, turn.

Sherlock’s exclusive mix for Music is Love carries a licentious energy you’ll want to maintain for hours after listening.

Our Kinda Haze

We be keepin’ it super steamy, Jack and Rose style, with LA-based singer/producer Zacari Pacaldo and his initial release, “Foggy Windows.”

As far as we can see, Zacari is relatively new to the music scene, releasing his first track less than a week ago. The newbie links up with two producers for to pop his SoundCloud cherry: fellow youngin’ and LA resident, J-Louis, and LA local and producing veteran, NGHTMRE. J-Louis’ heavy R&B influence paired with NGHTMRE’s in-your-face style leaves us with some funky-ass production for Zacari’s swingin’ vocals.

Denver-based electro funk aficionado, Michal Menert, just released his third, highly anticipated, full-length album entitled Space Jazz. Although Menert has already staked his musical claim in the soul and hip-hop arena, his new LP is a standing testament to his musical versatility and ability to seamlessly incorporate a variety of musical influences under one original sound. With no regard to customs or trends, Michal Menert’s Space Jazz opens up a realm of new possibilities for electronic fans as it cannot be classified under a concrete genre or style.

As a key player in the world of soulful electro, Menert diverges from, yet simultaneously plays off of his roots for this newest release, mostly due to the fact that he has recently been performing with over a dozen collaborators and musicians, collectively called the “Big Band.” This “Big Band” is a new creative musical outlet for Menert and its influence is strongly heard throughout Space Jazz. With a total of twelve different collaborators, ranging from Dominic Lalli of Big Gigantic, Borham Lee of Break Science, and Manic Focus, Space Jazz boasts live drums, fusion jazz with synthesizers, hip-hop, soul, blues, and electronic influences.

From its spacey and washed-out tracks, to its wide range of styles, Space Jazz utilizes a span of musical perspectives and musical creativity to convey a style that is gentle, deep and soulful. A truly innovative, fresh, funky, and forward-thinking release from one of electronic music’s best!

Nor Cal’s most promising, low-end bass master, G Jones, just released a huge remix of Footsie’s grime track, “Work All Day.” As one of UK grime duo, Newham Generals’, members, Footsie, has become an established and prominent name in the scene as one of its most influential veterans. What do you get when you take the natural filth of Footsie’s in-your-face grime and fuse it together with G Jones’s trailblazing, future-bass prowess? One of Jones’s most attitude-packed releases yet.

Making its thunderous first appearance on his new beats 2015 mix back in January, G Jones’s “Work All Day” remix proves to be the future-trap anthem for the hardest working dreamers among us. Jones’ utilizes the genius of Footsie’s original verses, delivering his rendition with a spacious, bass heavy, slimy, grimey twist. From an introduction void of anything but claps paired with grime rap, to a progression that oozes swag. “Work All Day” provides us with enough fuel to keep our heads bobbing.

Listen to G Jones “put in work” with his remix of Footsie’s “Work All Day” and grab it for free download below.

You Can't Spell Delusion Without "us"

Just what we need ATM: peppy future bass to lighten up what feels like has been a 14-day week.

Currently downloading whatever we can get our hands on by Delusion for the simple reason that his music makes us feel really good.

“Between Us,” is just one of many sweet treats Delusion releases that are not only free, but so easy to listen to. The original by Elènne is fantastic, but Delusion adds a little bit more life into the tune, emulating a Soulection-type of sound that we absolutely love.

All three artists contribute something special to making this track what it is- a post-worthy gem. If it’s not Mothica’s sexy and confident vocals that mesh perfectly with that pristine future soul sound, it’s Delusion’s garage influence and re-fix of Elènne’s well orchestrated synth work that will make you press “repeat.”

Encouraging and condoning any and all Delusional behavior today, especially when it sounds like this:[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/200022967″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]

Drawpit Like It's Hot

Tropical disco feels coming to the West Coast from Waterloo, Canada. Now is the best time to begin downloading heaps of nu disco for the approaching summer. If there is any specific genre that reminds us of summer, it’s tropical nu disco.

Real talk: what’s better than sipping on juice with a crazy straw listening to disco house under the sun? Absolutely nothing. If you joined us for The Cool-Off last October, you know we like to keep summer lasting as long as possible with a sound that  not only matches our favorite season, but helps maintain it.

Eighteen year-old Julius Q AKA Shagabond, keeps it hot all year long despite the chilly Canadian weather with his take on Snoop Dogg X Pharell’s instant hit, “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” entitled “Drawpit.” Shagabond produces a subtle 4×4 platform around the well-known early ’00 sample with delicate synth work that makes you feel all sorts of wavy.

Check out Shagabond’s vibey electronic rendition of “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and fall back in love with a modern classic:
