This week’s throwback is DEFUNK’s take on the mid-sixties classic, “San Francisco,” by Scott McKenzie.

McKenzie’s one-hit-wonder is pretty mellow, and what we like about the edit is how DEFUNK doesn’t completely take over the original with his bold sound. The funk-master allows it to play out, no edit necessary, before waves of glitch-funk, big bass, and an all-around good time.

Put some flowers in your hair or in your beard, and download the track below:

The world of west coast bass music seems to be overflowing with a pack of talented artists who have been crushing the NorCal scene recently. Among some of the best in the bunch are artists like G Jones, Bleep Bloop, Shlump and Trevor Kelly. Born and raised in Southern California, Trevor Kelly has transplanted himself further up the coast, making big waves ever since with over half a decade of experience in innovative, deep, future bass and 808 centered hip-hop productions.

To add to his bass resume, Trevor Kelly and fellow NorCal bass producer, Treemeista, just launched a new record label, ShadowTrix Music. To christen the label, Kelly recently released his 18-track LP, Activated. Activated is a display of Trevor’s most recent style: a future bass and 808 fusion that has the ability to deliver heavy, edgy, sexy bass grooves under a multitude of styles and sounds.

The sun will be shining down on you regardless of your surrounding environment with Nico Luminous’ remix of the classic feel-good reggae track, “Sun Is Shining” by Bob Marley.

The Bay Area bass producer smacks the living crap out of the originally melodic and mellow tune by incorporating big bass lines and glitchy synth-work, making this rework perfect for us West Coast bass folk.

Medicine Crunk II: Moon Medicine

admin

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.
