Blake, Billy, & Benny

May 20, 2015
Post Image

The abrupt rise of James Blake in the indie community started with his debut self-titled released in 2011. As someone who consistently tried to balance my love for both live and digitally produced music, Blake was the perfect amalgamation of the two. Producers specializing in both house and bass music quickly discovered how perfectly Blake’s dreamy and almost melancholy voice was embedded into 4×4 and growling bass lines and he was quickly picked up as favorite male to sample.

BB’s Benny Rich, AKA Mr. Rich, and Billy Kenny are known for their big bass sound in the UK, much like the Dirtybird sound we like to get down with over here in CA. Creating a contrast that surprisingly works, the two producers surround the lyrically perspicuous track, “Limit To Your Love” with bright high-hats and booming bass that feeds the original with a sound that is unapologetic.

McFunk

May 15, 2015
Post Image

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.

Luminous Shining

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

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.
