He’s back. The champion of Brooklyn’s genre bending, speaker bruising, bass infested club music… K-K-Kingdom! He just released an amazing 5 song EP on Night Slugs that are bleak and heavy. The appropriately titled That Mystic EP is tailor made for pitch black clubs and is a perfect soundtrack for any number of occasions.
We told you before that Kingdom was going to be huge and he’s clearly living up to that prediction. Pick up That Mystic when you can and enjoy some older gems below.
Drums! It’s all about the drums these days and French producer Bambounou knows all about’m. He’s clearly bridging the gaps in house and tech house with his tunes and while he’s very young in age, his beats sound like the work of a seasoned veteran. Just check out his debut release, Animism, it’s full of so many drums tightly woven together that it’s like a tropical workout. The EP includes 3 original tracks and remix work from LOL Boys & Teki Latex, French Fries, Art Nouveau, and Dre Skull. Probably the must-have record of the month.
Call him a genius, call him the next big thing, however you want to phrase it, French producer Canblaster (one part of Club Cheval) is worth every word of praise. Keep your eyes and ears open for him as he’s dropping a ton of dance floor destroyers in the coming months, for now enjoy some of the work he’s done this year.
Nataile Storm is a certified babe, and more to her than just her looks, she has a thing for putting her vocals pon some class UK producer’s tunes. First she was on Sticky’s “Jumeirah Riddim” with the ultimate summer anthem called “Look Pon Mi.” Now Heatwave DJ Collective have made another heater with “Play Di Ting” by putting Miss Storm over Footsteps‘ “Worker Riddim.” The track is amazing and you can hear DJs like Bok Bok, Toddla T, Sinden and Ikonika rinsing it in their sets.
This No Static at All EP, released in conjunction with ATL web DJ Rob Wonder, is a hint that someone at Scion has impeccable taste in music. The release is packed with forward-thinking bass, heavy club tunes and represents a lot of what Rob Wonder plays on his radio show.
As Wonder says, “This collection of sounds was put together to move minds, hearts and feet.” Coinciding with this musical release, there is also a booklet (available both in print and digitally) about No Static At All that features tweaked creature illustrations by Atlanta art legend R. Land.
If you want to keep up with Rob’s adventures, follow @robwonder on Twitter and check out his radio show with new episodes every first Thursday of the month at robwonderradio.com.
Melé is a 17 year old prodigy beatmaker from the UK who’s talent exceeds his age by many, many years. Mastering the balance of vocal chants and unearthly sub-bass, each of his tracks encompasses the essentials of a heater. A great example of this is the French Fries remix of his track “Bombay” (available now from Mixpak records), a track I featured in my Mini Mix v2. He’s already been scooped up by Sinden for an upcoming release on Grizzly, but he sent us a few bits to hold you over until then.

Trouble & Bass are the undisputed kings of, well, you guessed it; Bass. On May 31st the label released a huge record with must-have remixes. What record? Poland’s bass duo, SUPRA1.
Their EP is called Still Believe and has two original tracks, the title track featuring vocal work from diva-esque Amy Douglas. That same track is accompanied by remixes from the who’s who of underground dance music right now: Brackles, Gucci Vump, L-Vis 1990, Franki Chan, The Phantom, and Boogaloo Crew.
Check the L-Vis 1990 remix as a sample and cop the whole thing at Beatport now.
The newly formed Discobelle Records has been a force to be reckoned with lately. For example, take this new Turned on Volume 1 compilation they recently out, it’s 17 unmixed bangers by artists like Crookers, Brodinski, Radioclit, Nadastrom, Mikix The Cat, Schlachthofbronx and Savage Skulls; all tastefully compiled by DJ Neoteric.
There’s a plethora of great tracks on this comp, but the stand-out is “Cannibalistic” by Expendable Youth, a DJ/ production duo out of Vancouver. To help push the release and spread some expendable love, we’ve got “Cannibalistic” remixes from Samo Sound Boys and LOL Boys. Pick up Turned onand keep an eye out for Expendable Youth on the next run of our Mini Mix Series.
I don’t have to tell you how much this new EP from Marcus Price & Carli rules the world. The whole thing has been a favorite of mine for a while and Beats even went so far as to prematurely put “Mat, Bira, Kvinnor, Weed (Kingdom Remix)” is his Top 10 of 2009 list.
In any case, the release is finally available for your listening pleasure with devastatingly amazing remixes from Kingdom, Dubbel Dutch, Norrit, Girl Unit, and Crazy Pays. I bought the 12″ but if you want digital it’s available on Beatport, iTunes, and Juno, all compliments of Palms Out Sounds!
On May 24th, Renaissance Man dropped their newest EP called Babbadabba on Jesse Rose’s fantastic label, Made To Play. Of course, the EP rules because everything Renaissance Man does rules. Pounding kick drums, warm subs and creative sampling makes it perfect for summer dance floors. If you’re interested, it’s available to purchase @ Beatport.
For the second release on Sinden’s Grizzly label, he’s hollered at DJ Sega, Egyptrixx and Tony Senghore to attack Brodinski’s “Arnold Classics” single. Each one of the remixes, including the original, work the dance floor harder than Richard Simmons used to work fatties. Arguably the hardest of the bunch is one of Tony Senghore’s versions (he made two.) If you haven’t heard of Tony, he’s a bit like Style of Eye in that his brand of Tech House has a heavy Electro House influence.
Hear ALL of the remixes over at Juno and prepare to heat up those dance floors!
