[GlitchHop] A brand new track from Ill Gates free to download

A fresh new track with an interesting video, and theres a story behind it...



Ill Gates:

This video came about both unexpectedly and fortuitously ... we had just cleaned up our rooftop when old friends iAmRurik and Creyote came by and just happened to feel like festooning every wall in our compound with their wild and amazing characters.

We decided to make a video for it using the thousands of photos we captured.

The song "My Special Place" seemed like a natural choice. My Special Place is a warm, personal and timeless song, the first to be premiered on ill.Gates' forthcoming album 'The ill.Methodology' (Muti Music, Spring 2011).

Please download and share "My Special Place" along with our special free pack of artwork, poetry and music.

Community Mural Project Proposal:

The city of Toronto is in the middle of a very ill-conceived crackdown on graffiti as our new mayor sees no distinction between murals and vandalism. We want to help change the public perception of street art in our city while strengthening our local community.

What we would like to do is get 5 floors of scaffolding and about 20 artists to paint a huge, highly visible wall in our community. We want to make a free event of it, having music and barbeque, and we want to invite members of the community to participate by setting up booths for both vending and networking on community issues such as the upcoming election.

We have all of the artists but we need art supplies and scaffolding.

[RnB] An interesting video from The Weeknd

The Weeknd - Glass Table Girls (off their new mixtape House of Baloons)

The Video is a scene taken from the first Robocop chopped up to flow with the songs rythm.
The lyrics are refering to a drink, "7 on 7" as in Seagrams 7 blended canadian whiskey and 7up.
The Weeknd is Abel Tesfaye, an RnB artist from Toronto, Canada. Abel started uploading songs to YouTube in 2010, and has sampled such artists as Beach House and Siouxsie and the Banshees. In March of 2011 he dropped his first mixtape, House Of Balloons. The vocals, sometimes sung and sometimes rapped, talk about ugly things in a pretty voice. Drake, the group’s citymate, toys with a similar aesthetic, but the Weeknd takes his ambivalent emotional tenor and stretches it out, building a whole worldview from it.

[Dubstep] Great new remix from a favourite artist

Blackmill started off producing music at the age of eight when he received his first musical instrument for his birthday: an acoustic guitar which he still plays to this day so look out for future tracks in this genre. At the age of 15 he started producing trance and uploading them to youtube under the alias "Robert J.C" As Dubstep grew throughout 2010 Blackmill took a shine to this new genre. Blackmill was quickly producing his own version of Dubstep, Melodic Dubstep. It's been proven to be a hit after he remixed Ellie Gouldings "Your Song" which took off straight away. Heres one of his latest remixs.

[Event] Andy C, voted #1 DnB DJ for 10 years in a row, showing up in Victoria

Andy C ~ Ram Records UK # 1 Drum and Bass dj in the world. Venue info and support acts will be announced soon. $ 30 Advance tickets will be available soon. Andy Clarke began experimenting with programming breaks as a teenager; he met Ant Miles at the studios where he was working through a family connection. They began working together in Ant's converted garage studio where Andy nurtured what was to become a sublime talent for chopping up and re-programming breaks. Andy then decided to set up his own label in early 1992 with a budget of £1000. RAM - so named due to Andy's star sign, Aries - launched with his solo debut and now-highly-collectable 'Sour Mash EP'. At the age of 15, together with Ant, Andy created magnum opus, 'Valley of the Shadows (31 Seconds)' under their Origin Unknown alias. Often referred to as the 'darkcore prototype', the track won Best Hardcore Tune at the 1993 Hardcore Dance Awards where Andy also collected the prize for Best Newcomer. By this time, his DJing career had begun to progress at a meteoric rate; he had a show on pirate station, Cyndicut FM and secured slots at key raves including Imagination, Club Elevation, Dreamscape, Innovation and Telepathy, where he became a resident. By 1994 together with Ant, he assumed another alias, Desired State, delivering masterpieces like 'Beyond Bass' and 'Here And Now'. In the same year, he began to branch out with collaborations, connecting with DJ Randall to create dancefloor smash, 'Sound Control'. Subsequent studio hook ups would involve Shimon and Moving Fusion. Origin Unknown's 1997 album, 'Origin Unknown Presents...Speed Of Sound' won Best Dance Album at the Kiss FM Dance Awards and Best Album at the Hardcore Dance Awards, where Andy also collected the gong for Best Producer. The 1998 follow-up, 'Origin Unknown Presents...Sound In Motion', preceded the birth of RAM Trilogy; Andy C, Ant Miles and Shimon's studio hook up. In the same year Andy managed to slot in his Wednesday night radio show on London's Kiss FM between global DJing commitments. In 1999 & 2000, he took the award for Best DJ at the Knowledge Awards. His numerous high profile remix accomplishments include Busta Rhymes 'Woo Hah!' (as Origin Unknown - which won Best Remix at the 1996 Muzik Magazine Awards), Adam F 'Circles', and Jay-Z 'Can't Knock The Hustle'. Andy also won the best D&B DJ award on Drum & Bass arena in 2001 & 2002 where in excess of 90,000 people voted, and again at Accelerated Culture's 'Peoples Choice Awards' in December 2002. Andy is also the highest ranking D&B DJ in the current DJ magazine Top 100 DJs placed at No. 28.

[Hiphop] New album from this German duo

Ancient Astronauts recently released their latest album entitled Into Bass and Time. Now that they are back from SXSW; they have decided to drop the official video for their track “Worldwide”. A great laid-back Hip Hop jam here. You'll be missing out on something special if you don't giver' a listen.

[Hiphop] Some wicked Hip Hop beats with a classical touch from Gramatik

Gramatik - Orchestrated Incident (from the album "Street Bangerz Volume 2")

Good music is felt not heard. Gramatik apparently understood that at an age of 3 according to his mother as she used to catch him glued to the radio in his older sister's room whenever there was an old funk or rhythm & blues joint on, tapping his leg on the floor along with the beat. Damn, talking about a sign on what will your child do when he grows up!

Parents got him taking piano lessons in the elementary music school when he was in 2nd grade, but he dropped out 2 years later because he wasn't feeling that whole classical music thing as that was the only genre they were teaching. He later got some private piano lessons, learning the stuff he wanted to learn to play like Beatles and Rhythm & Blues in general. He and a few of his 4th grade classmates formed a band and became the youngest band in the history of his elementary school, playing school events on the regular. When he got to 7th grade he discovered Hip-Hop and felt totally overtaken and compelled by it's elements, especially by the power of the rhythmically accented poetry(RAP). He soon left the band, started writing and became an MC. His friends were amazed by his flow and delivery since there were no hip-hop artists in his home town Piran(Slovenia) at the time, except him and one of his classmates and they were dope on top of it! They formed a duo called Bow Down and threw the first hip-hop party in the history of their home town. In 1998, Gramatik met his first audio sequencing software on the computer of his classmate's older brother and felt like he got struck by lightening, totally overwhelmed by it! His parents were financially struggling at the time, so they couldn't afford a computer, so he was hanging out at his friend's house all the time, messing around with the sequencer when his older brother wasn't home. 2 years later his parents bought him a computer and the first thing he did was install that audio sequencer! He started producing his first beats and day by day felt more and more compelled by the craft & the magic of it. It wasn't long untill he discovered sampling which became his one true love in the music making process, chopping up all those old funk, soul, blues and jazz tracks he used to listen to all the time and making something completely new out of it was the best feeling ever. All of a sudden his life started to make perfect sense.

In 2006, he and 2 of his friends, fellow MC's, released their debut hip-hop album as a group called 5th Element, which was critically acclaimed throughout the country as one of the best hip-hop albums in Slovenia. After the album, Gramatik felt hip-hop just wasn't enough, that he was limiting himself with doing only one genre while he enjoyed listening to so many of them so he started producing House, Techno, Breakbeat, Electro, Drum'n'Bass, basically any genre that he liked which was anything that evolved from Blues, Jazz, Soul and Funk, as those ''father genres'' were all embedded deep in his style, whatever he would do. He realized that to him, music is much bigger than a genre name and their specific categorization, it's all about embracing what moves you and rejecting what doesn't. He released his first ever track on Beatport.com in june 2008, which was an Electro House track, a remix he did for DJ Vitamin D's track entitled Motherfuckers Know Whos The Best. The track ended up 24 on the Electro House Top 100 chart, a nice surprise and an excellent quality validation for this newcomer. Soon after that he ended up on 40 of the House Top 100 chart with his tribal banger Letz Get Ill while his Dreams About Her EP topped the Chil Out top 100 chart for 3 weeks. He kept releasing different stuff on various labels all owned by DJ Vitamin D which he became good friends with. Not long after his first release stroke the chart, Vitamin D suggests to him that he should scrap up those 20 hip-hop beatz he had sitting in a flash player on his myspace for over 2 years and release them as an album on the new Chill Out/Trip-Hop/Instrumental Hip-Hop label he's about to open inspired by those same beatz he was listening to. So Gramatik does that(thinking he won't sell more than 3 tracks off the album since they were just 2:30 minuets long hip-hop beatz, which are not commonly sold on beatport) and the album he entitled Street Bangerz Vol.1 get's released in december 2008 on the fresh new label Cold Busted. little did he know that the album was gonna catapult straight to the 1 spot on the Top 100 Chill Out chart and has been holding hostage the first 20 spots ever since. Street Bangerz Vol.1 has been a total success, completely unexpected, selling over 50.000 tracks world wide in less than 6 months on beatport alone. It made him realize that quite often, the things that you expect to work the least, usually work the most. Gramatik is now working on various projects while determined to keep up the SB series, dropping one a year, perfecting them volume after volume and hopefully tour the world in due time.

[Chill] New album on the way from this duo

Blue Sky Black Death an accomplished West Coast production duo has mastered the art of cooperation. Their music converts crude into refined through technical building stock that exceeds the boundaries of one specific musical genre. Young God and Kingston forms the duo and acquire additional people to help construct the synthesis of instrumental variety. Often a single track will mean a keyboard violin cello and guitar mixed with live vocals and abstract samples so each song to compile and manipulate to make the music engaging on several levels.
Blue Sky Black Death General Consulate songs draw a span of inspiration from 80's pop melodies to modern indie rock experimentation. Their latest acclaimed album 'Slow Burning Lights "matches BSBD the phenomenon of Yes Alexander her spine numbing vocals and somber lyrics blend perfectly among BSBDs quixotic rhythms BSBD has redefined hip-hop through his kaleidoscopic musical vision as a landscape, music as a dimension to design and build up and out his name Borrowed fromriver skydiving term beauty before death reflects their life and ability to bring back to life dead and forgotten dimensions.
Now, they are set to release their latest album, entitled NOIR, later this month and they have been recently giving out previews to the album. The track I’m bringing to you today is from that upcoming album and is called “Sleeping Children Are Flying”. It’s a very layered track that oddly evokes feelings of nostalgia that are hard to shake. Also included is a music video for the track “In The Quiet Absence Of God”. Check out the track and chill…

[Indie] Holy Ghost!'s new album out now

Holy Ghost! is a DJ duo from Brooklyn, NY formed by Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser of the now-defunct group Automato. They are currently signed to DFA and have released a 12 "single. They have also recently received a great promotion when their song "Hold On" was appointed to the iTunes Store Free Single of the Week in December 2007. In 2008 the boys remixed Moby's "I love to move in here", MGMT's "Of Moons Birds & Monsters", and Cut Copy's "Hearts on Fire". The two have also toured as members of the Juan MacLean and been involved in other remixes and recordings as part of the DFA family.

Heres a couple songs off their new album

[electroHouse] New EP from Felix Cartal, "The joker"

I've never been so happy with so many bleeps in a song before. The production value on this new EP is superb. Another website describes the EP as such:

"Unleashing a true Armageddon-like beast in its powerful six minute and two seconds roar, ‘The Joker’ electrifies its electronica and bleepiness so dominantly, that the MI5 and the NSA would seriously have to ask this guy for some lessons in real brute force and about his uniquely owned “by any means necessary” action. With as much punch and jump as a Mexican jumpin’ bean, ‘The Joker’ sets up its counterpart quite nicely in side-stepping its competitors on the field and curling a wonderful shot into the back of The Riddler’s back net. A full energy uplift is laid out on the table for ‘The Riddler’ all the way!"

Now although the whole EP itself is quite good, "The riddler" (the other song included) tickles my fancy in a way that the "The Joker" cannot.

Heres a preview of the EP.

The Joker EP by Felix Cartal

[Dubstep] Heres a remix of Band of Horses "The Funeral" by Butch Clancy

Calmer than most of Butch Clancy's normal material, this remix shows off his talent in placement and takes a step back from in-your-face grimey Dubstep to highlight Band of Horses unique vocals and melodies. This "chillstep" remix portrays how relaxing the sub-genre can be offering a different version of the original for those with a taste for bass.

Band Of Horses- The Funeral (Butch Clancy Remix) *New Version* DL link in description by Butch Clancy

If however, you are looking for more of an in-your-face grimey Dubstep tune, Butch Clancy's remix of Lynard Skynard's "Simple Man", released days ago, may satisfy.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man (Butch Clancy Remix) *Dl link in Desc.* by Butch Clancy

[ElectroHouse] #4 in Electro House Charts "Beats Inside My Head Donald (Glaude and Revolvr Remix)"

Donald Glaude and Revolvr have taken this Scooter & Lavelle track and added some banging polytechnic glory to it. Reminisant of the break beat sounds usually associated with the likes of Wolfgang Gartner and Deadmu5, the boys have created a raging tune here, helped along by Sue Cho‘s (from Porter Robinson’s “Hello”) catchy vocals. Buy on Beatport

[Rock, Hiphop] Black Keys get down with MCs for a colab album and a new album with Dangermouse

This album "Blakroc" may be old news, but I just found it and so far most of the album sounds decent. I found it interesting how they documented the project on www.blakroc.com. There's all sorts of videos and pictures of the whole thing going down.

Here's one of the tracks of the self titled Blakroc album.



The Black Keys newest LP, "Brothers" is co-produced with Dangermouse and features a new sound that caters to a wider demographic. Heres one of the new hit singles off this album.

Dangermouse seems to have the musical Midas touch, from producing the Gorillaz album "Dare" to the Collaboration with The shins, James Mercer on "Broken Bells". Both of which received awards.

[Dance] Girl Unit blows em' away with "Wut"

This release was being proclaimed single of the year by some of the most influential figures in bass music before it was even released. After already making quite a splash with ‘I.R.L’, London’s Girl Unit drops an atomic bomb with ‘Wut’ that incinerates his already high standards and sweeps the ashes away in forceful gusts.

[ElectroHouse] Eighteen year old Porter produces this beast

Porter Robinson, primarily an electro producer/DJ, still attends high school in his hometown of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, although he is currently scheduled to perform at several major music festivals in 2011 including: Ultra Music Festival, South by Southwest, Beyond Wonderland and Nocturnal Festival. His first single, "Say My Name", was an enormous success, landing at #1 on Beatport's Electro-House chart. Porter has been commissioned for official remixes by Avicii (Ministry of Sound), Spencer & Hill and Innerpartysystem. As a DJ, he has toured internationally and performed alongside acts including Skrillex, Tiesto, Moby, Afrojack, Dada Life, Bart B More, Felguk and Tommy Lee. Here is his latest track "The Wildcat".

[Minimal] Some head-bobbin minimal from one of Germany's most important femal DJ/Producers

Monika Kruse has a long history in the Electronic music scene. She started her career working for record labels then progressed to DJ'ing, playing for her first time in a Munich club called "Babalu Bar". In 2000 she founded her most ambitious project "No Historical Backspin",influenced by the constant violent crimes, beatings against foreigners. She decided that Electronic music must take a stand and show that tolerance and diversity is a fundamental part of the Techno & House Culture. In 2008 she released her album Changes of Perception which included this particular track (along with a video).
Here's Monika Kruse´s "Morgana"

[Breaks] A Rel1 Re-Rub on a new chrizz Luvly song

Well just as rad tunes are able to be produced, Rel1 is able to re-rub, re-dub, and re-fix them. Not only is Rel1's work plentiful and wicked, it's also free to download off of soundcloud. If you haven't treated yourself to any of his work yet, it's about time.

[Rock] Radiohead – The Universal Sich

British rock legends Radiohead have been an influential force in music for over 20 years.

[Breaks] Aggresivnes - Avalanche (Destroyers Remix)

Aggresivnes - Avalanche (Destroyers Remix) by Elektroshok Records

This is a pretty cool breaks remix... except for one thing that bugs me. At the end of the drum loop or at the end of the phrase theres a variation of beat and I don't think that it's conducive to the flow of the song... but that's just me.

[ElectroHouse] Factorfunk & Physical Bross Ft. Bassnight vs. Planet Funk - Chase the Sun (FREE DOWNLOAD)

Yes, this stuff is on point. Excellenct production value, should be a banger, and with a free download you can't not get this.

[Movie] Banksy Exit Through the Gift Shop

This is the inside story of Street Art - a brutal and revealing account of what happens when fame, money and vandalism collide. Exit Through the Gift Shop follows an eccentric shop-keeper turned amateur film-maker as he attempts to capture many of the world's most infamous vandals on camera, only to have a British stencil artist named Banksy turn the camcorder back on its owner
with wildly unexpected results.

One of the most provocative films about art evermade, Exit Through the Gift Shop is a fascinating studyof low-level criminality, comradeship and incompetence. By turns shocking, hilarious and absurd, this is anenthralling modern-day fairytale... with bolt cutters.

[Live] Some live stuff from an amazing group of artists.

I've been a fan of Nu:Tone and Natalie Williams for a little while now and when I heard that they came together to perform some of the songs they've made, live on BBC Radio 1, with Logistics (another terrific producer) and a few other talented artists, I had to check it out. You can catch it here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00zlfnp

To catch the Live action skip ahead to 1:00:30

Theres also some interesting new Dubstep on after the Nu:Tone part.

[ElectroHouse] If you haven't heard this monster track, you probably should.

Mord Fustang (from Plasmapool records) throws down this banger with style. Big anthemic chords and chunky slower beats give this the hallmark of a monster hit in the making.



This guy came out of nowhere and can't be stopped.

[Dubstep] Burial is set to drop his first original solo material in four years.

UK producer Burial is set to drop his first original solo material in four years on Monday, in form of the 3-track ‘Street Halo 12″ EP’ via Hyperdub Records. Kode9 and Benji B somewhat taint the two tracks which premiered on Radio 1 last night, but in the last few hours an MP3 of track ‘NYC’ (rumoured to be 20 minutes in length) has emerged to complete the set. The below version is only 7 minutes, but whether this is the one which will be on the shelves on Monday, or whether it is even the actual track “NYC” still remains to be seen. Whatever the below MP3 is, its Burial without a doubt, and makes for a lengthy down-tempo flavour of what is to drop next week.

[Dubstep] Bang Bang remix by White Noize

Nancy Sinatra's song "Bang Bang" made famous by the Kill Bill movies, was originally released by Sonny & Cher in 1966. The man responsible for the remix is 22-year-old Emanuel Bender (White Noize), who tackles films, pop and hip-hop to create electro/dubstep works with upbeat tempos and dance-floor energy. The beat that's created for this song is more dancy than most dubstep with a funky synth and a house style bass at some parts. The wobble is not so obnoxious that it overwhelms the original music in the track making for a more whole remix that has replay value.

[UKFunky] Heres a duo to look out for.

I could of labeled this to be post-dubstep, dub-house, garage, or 2step.
But it doesn't really matter because it's just good.

Warrior One are 2 people. One of them is called 4. Both are 29. One lives East London. One lives West. One is from Dublin. One of them isn't. One is the producer. One is the reducer. Warrior One is a master yoga pose dedicated to Virabhadra, the name of a fierce warrior incarnation of Shiva, who had a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, and a thousand feet, and wields a thousand clubs whilst wearing a tiger's skin. Deadly.
Warrior One give this track some of their trademark ravement vibrations.

[Jungle] heres a fresh new jungle track with a remix from some top acts!

Fresh jungle business out of the hands of Matt Scott (A.k.a RacknRuin), the new skool jungle god, remixed by 2 masters of the breakbeat & d'n'b world, ed solo & deekline, with added fresh vocals from a relative newcomer Jessie Ware who has lent her vocal skills to tracks by SBTRKT & Sampha already. A sick jungle vocal roller that will get you skankin big time.

[HipHop] Black Star, De La Soul and Rakim all performing in one venue....

[Dubstep] The latest installment of the prestigious fabriclive mix CD

The latest installment of the prestigious fabriclive mix CD series is handed over to the young but more than capable hands of David Kennedy, who takes the helm under both his Ramadanman and Pearson Sound monikers. Crafting together a well thought out selection of forward-thinking bass music, the mix goes some way to showcasing why Kennedy's name has been on everyone's lips of late. Featuring a number of tracks from himself and various Hessle Audio affiliates, he also slots in outstanding tracks from Julio Bashmore, A Made Up Sound, Jam City and Die Barbie Musik Kollektive amongst others, taking a journey through mutant strains of house, dubstep and grime. While the idea of a mix CD is on its way to becoming obsolete in the face of the endless free mixes available on the internet, this is still interesting enough to justify shelling out for.

Heres a half hour taste...

[Event ] Ramadanman, Zed Bias & Distal Letting loose at Lucky!

Here we go! These guys are going to throw down some serious tunes! RAMADANMAN aka Pearson Sound, is a dubstep producer from London, England, associated with the label Hessle Audio. Born David Kennedy and hailing from North London, he began DJing at age 14 and producing at age 15. He later went to university in Leeds, England, and became involved with the dubstep scene there. In 2006, he started his own label, Ramadanman, and made his production debut with the two-track digital single "Dynamic Balancing/Hungarian Skank," followed by a couple other releases on the label. Wost recentlyHe won the Dubstep Forum awards of 2011 for best producer. ZED BIAS aka Maddslinky, is best known for his single "Neighbourhood", which reached #25 in the UK charts in July 2000. He has remixed artists ranging from Gabrielle, Kosheen, Maxim, Pharoahe Monch and the Streets. He runs the Sidestepper Recordings label. Zed Bias' releases which explore a more experimental or progressive side of the 2-step garage sound have been hailed as a crucial element in the establishment of dubstep as a definable sound or genre. DISTAL aka Michael Rathburn, combines time travel with dance music, breaking down the more ambiguous sounds from the past and fusing them with thoughts and equations of the future. Because of this non-traditional approach to Dubstep, Funky and Techno, Distal has been forced to take a few risks, but along the way has created a very specific and friendly sound for himself. Bridging the gap between techno, breakbeat hardcore, house, funk, gangster rap, and even pop culture, is a tricky formula to entertain. with support from Eames & Rhythmicon These guys are playing at Lucky Bar on Friday April 29th with doors at 10:00 Pm Lucky can build a good line up aswell so don't do too much pre-partying. THERE WILL BE LIMITED PRESALE TICKETS FOR THIS JAM. $15 available at Ditch Records as of April 1.

[Event] Wolfgang Gartner gracing Victoria with a set!

As everyone should know by now Wolfgang is on his North American tour and Victoria made the list!

In less than three years the producer and DJ known as Wolfgang Gartner has gone from strength to strength, with eight #1 tracks on Beatport (including the site’s best-selling track of 2009) and remixes for A-list artists (Black Eyed Peas, Timbaland, Britney Spears), all lauded by peers such as David Guetta, Tïesto, and Pete Tong. No, with the forename Wolfgang, Gartner’s success shouldn’t surprise anyone. And yet it does. Because that is his stock in trade: surprising listeners. “Right now, I feel like I have a responsibility to advance the genre,” he says. “I have to come up with something completely new, that’s never been done before.”

All this coming two days after High Contrast... It's going to be a long weekend.
Sugar Nightclub is hosting this Electro/House beast on the 10th of April with doors opening early at eight.
Although this is an early Sunday show, Blueprintevents was able to get a two Am extension to keep the party going on and on...
