New Release: I.D. - "Akusative / Flay"

Artist: I.D
Track 1: ‘Akusative’
Track 2: ‘Flay’
Label: Cool & Deadly
Cat No: CAD006

I.D. is Ed Bayling, who lives in Prague but is a native of Manchester, where he met long time friend and partner in crime Baobinga. Together they have released a slew of cutting edge tunes culminating in their BIG MONSTER project for FAT! Records.  More recently they have handed in heavy remixes for Stanton Warriors and Meat Katie’s Lot 49 label amongst others.

On a solo tip, an I.D release has always meant an amalgamation of garage bass, proper breakbeats and endless energy – a recent remix for Reso and a forthcoming release for Re:Connect records with “Mission” will be further proof.

‘AKUSATIVE’ is killer breakstep business, for fans of Loefah, Oris Jay, Toasty Boy, Reso and all. ‘FLAY’ rolls Dubstep, Breakbeat and Techno into a ball and skanks across the dancefloor. Both tracks have been tried and tested by label co-boss TAYO, as well as CASPA and FREQ NASTY, to devastating effect.

‘AKUSATIVE’ / ‘FLAY’ follows on from Bassbin Twins, TRG, TAYO, and BLACK CANVAS as the sixth release from the nascent COOL & DEADLY label, an imprint whose aim is to inhabit the space between Dubstep, Garage and Breakbeats. Where the backbone is dub and the body is bass. More singles from Tayo, TRG, Bassbin Twins, an album from Black Canvas and a VERY exciting project from a high profile drum and baser to come over the next few months.

D-Monic's Pick:

I.D. - Akusative

"Always loved the breakstep sound, and this tunes is a dark breaks-dubstep transition tune that works well.  Cool & Deadly is becoming one of my favorite labels."

New Release: Jagged Slap - "10 Pence Short"

Artist : Jagged Slap
Track 1 : ‘10 Pence Short’
Track 2 : ‘10 Pence Short’ Wrongstar Society RMX
Label : Electric Tastebuds

Release Date : Nov 17th, 2008


Label boss Leeroy Thornhill (from the band that need no introduction, The Prodigy) has again joined forces this time with Joe Morena who has remixed for the likes of Alabama 3, Simply Red, Human League & Sunscreem to name but a few. 

They have created an electro, breaks sound with their latest release as 'Jagged Slap', with the bad boys of bass the Wrongstars on remixing duties.

Watch your bass bins!

D-Monic's Pick:

‘10 Pence Short’ Wrongstar Society Remix

"Nice proper breaks feel on this remix with some cool catchy stabs and vocal effects and a KILLER bassline!  This gets the crowds attention everytime!"

New Release: Maelstrom - "The Beat Police"

ARTIST: Maelstrom                
1 - The Beat Police  feat Mc Youthstar (Original Mix)
2 - The Beat Police feat Mc Youthstar (Is This House Mix)
3 - The Beat Police feat Mc Youthstar (Redux Mix)
LABEL: Katorza

Release Date: Nov 3rd 2008

The second release from new label ‘Katorza’ bought to you by label heads Maelstrom & Redux who’s label mantra is similar to that of their own releases, to deliver top notch music, be it taking in the styles of breaks, electro, techno and all with a serious dollop of funk to get the party going.

Maelstrom has had releases on Jalapeno Records, Rotax, Labrok, Menu Music and West Records. Maelstrom has quite simply exploded onto the scene in the past two and half years, drawing the support of artists across the globe, including the likes of Krafty Kuts, Aquasky, Lady Waks, Cut La Roc, the Utah Saints, Ellis Dee, Rennie Pilgrem, NAPT, SOTO, Laurent Garnier and the Plump DJs!

MC Youthstar has already peformed on line ups with artists such as Andy C, Roni Size, Grooverider, Pendulum, Fresh, J Majik, Friction, Hype, Bailey or High Contrast. He's currently in production with Youthman aka Audio Unit, DirtyPhonics, Elisa Do Brasil And United Fools, and with other Mc’s like Jamalski, Big Red, Taiwan, and A’mn

- (Original) Comin’ right at ya like a stampeding audio onslaught of some considerable magnitude on this bassline-lead  breaks excursion with its incessant and infectious rising bassline cranking up the energy all the way to 11 on this straight-up bass, beats and vocals journey that keeps switching the bass rhythm without confusin’ yo ass! Rather, yo ass will be on fire, I’m tellin you now, muthaf****!

- (Is this House mix) This goes all over the place at the beginning – straddling stripped down minimal, glitch hop, urban funk and crunk before settling on a pounding hip-tech-bass-hop-electro-house-breaks smash up of epic proportions. Get down and bounce to this!

- (Redux) this alternative is more stripped back and linear in its approach, but no less deadly on the dancefloor! The driving bass and minimal beats are expertly interrupted by some evocative bouncy-pipe bass action, serious synth shenanigans and a young man displaying a propensity for rhythmical rhyming with an injection of jump up urban attitude – it’s quite the thing, I hear

D-Monic's Choice:

The Beat Police (feat Mc Youthstar) (Original Mix)

"Have played this in every set since I got it. It's a GREAT transition tune or a floor filler! The other mixes are great too!"

Deadmau5 Says DJ's Are "All Fucking Cunts"



Taken from an Irish Newspaper:
Red hot Canadian producer deadmau5 hits Irish shores this weekend but local DJ's better keep out of his way. 

the five times Beatport award winner told Clubmix in an explosive interview that he HATES DJ's and think they're all fucking cunts. 

deadmau5, pronounced 'dead mouse'. said he will only perform live shows of his own music and think DJ's should be extinct. he says, "it puts me to fucking sleep to be quite honest, i don't really see the technical merit in playing two songs at the same speed together and it bores me to fucking tears and hopefully, with all due respect to the DJ type that will fucking go the way of the dinosaur, id like them to disafuckingpear". 

Joel continued, "its so middle man, they're like fucking lawyers you need them, but they're fucking cunts. god bless them, they're my number one customer right so I'm not gonna go diss every fucking dj, but to say you've become this massive up on a podium performer by playing other peoples productions at the same speed as someone else productions and fading between the two of them, I don't get it."
