AC Slater - BanGer (Drop The Lime Remix).mp3

Onnex is one of the many electro DJ/Producer combos from a beach town suburbs of Los Angeles. He got started spinning in college a year ago and has been working on polishing his skills ever since. His love for electro coupled with his burning contempt for top 40 garbage has been fueling the fire, and has recently lead him to the realm of production. An EP was supposed to drop this month, but due to illness, and booking a ticket to Hawaii on a whim one very, very late night (for the next day), it will come out for sure in February. (The waves on the trip were worth it) Also, like most recent college grads, he is unemployed and happily working on the EP, remixes, collaborations, edits, and 12 oz curls. Look for big tunes from him soon!

Azari and III - Hungry For the Power.mp3Azari and III - Hungry for the Power (Riviera Remix).mp3

This is a video of french beat maker and artist 20syl doing his thing in what looks like a very well equipped home lab.  If you look around, you see sound proofing on the walls using egg cartons, at least a half dozen different synths, turntables, tons of other musical instruments, and his MPC.  He’s not exactly cutting and splicing magnetic tape together, but this is definitely a much more analog form of production than the type practiced by the vast majority of artists today.  I have huge respect for the quality of sound created by the top electronic producers of the day, but this just seems like a more authentic form of production to me.  Really good producers like Wolfgang Gartner and Deamau5 can create warmth in their sound, but what’s really cool about this is that warmth is inherent in the instruments that are used in the video.  I’ve always heard that error, or the possibility of error, is a sort of quality or property of sound that separates good music from great music, or at least recorded from live.  It gives it a human element.  This partly explains why I was so crazy for the Blakroc album – it has a raw quality that differentiates it from high quality productions, and especially stuff like pop that we would describe as over-produced.

The alternative is that its not more “authentic”.  It could just be that “rawness” is just another property, from the vast array that music can have, that changes the experience for the listener.  A parameter, but specifically one that doesn’t affect the normative “goodness” of music.  I don’t buy that – do you?

First things first, feel free to figure out if you think the Justice track I’ve included in this post is real or fake. After that listen to the other two songs by label mates DSL and Krazy Baldhead.

Krazy Baldhead opened for Rusko at Sound Academy this past Saturday. He was the reason why I went to the show. Having see Rusko perform twice in Toronto this past year, Krazy’s glitchy instrumental style is what drew me out to 11 Polson Peer. The crossover potential of his sound for a more mainstream audience seems more plausible over time than Dubstep’s recent emmergence as Toronto’s party music of choice – not that I’m complaining. I was not suprised that he mentioned his major musical influence was Jazz. Listen to Sweet Night, it is one of the funkiest tracks that I’ve heard come out of the Ed Banger camp in a while. I would feel equally comfortable playing this for my father as I would any of my friends. His live show had the crowd bouncing to music that had never heard before. A new sound billwoing through the ears of soon to be admirers. Krazy Baldhead made me fan.

DSL’s Find me in the World is one of the best blog finds I have had in a while. The Electonic Hip Hop group brings a unique flow and feel to electronic beats that make me happy I understand french. Its the kind of song that sets the pefect backtrack to whatever you are doing at the time. You find yourself singing along with the chorus the first time you hear it. Their EP for Stupid bitches featured a remix by the homie Rynecologist don’t sleep on picking up the EP.

@DJ Cal: There’s no debate here – the ‘Justice’ track has been confirmed as fake.

BOMBAMAN, bass bin activator, code name: bludvomitbumbi with his undeadisco famz, has been on a wrecking storm in the afterhour circuit! Making appearances at Footwork, and most anticipated upcoming Faktory party on the 18th with UK’s recent phenom, Kanji Kinetic.

Bomba caught up with me to share his new track, “Killed Being Watched.” a scarey dubstep ditty that put nightmares of progeria kids in my head! the broken step making you skank slow, with sections of sawing melody that double your bounce into a quick jack. Bludvomit in my mouth!

A friend, David Jorgensen, posted this awesome little bideo on my wall. It is set to Autoerotique’s Gladiotr. Here is the remix by Torro Torro that Felix Cartal decided was worthy of being dropped in his set at Montreal’sIigloofest.
