Mono4

Ok, I kinda want to be selfish and NOT post Mono4 because I want them to be “my little secret”… but what would be the point if I couldn’t share my love with the world? We posted them a few months back, and they have definitely remained a favorite since then — but if yr […]

Scorn- Basura’s Pick of the Week

Not intended to feature the latest music out there, my ‘Pick of the Week’ is to simply share & highlight music I personally enjoy regardless of timeframe. This weeks featured artist is Scorn (Mick Harris), remembered by most as being the former drummer for grindcore legends Napalm Death. Scorn has worked with avant-garde […]

FLUFFTRONIX - SHARK ATTACK (the Sharkstep Anthem)

I have something suspenseful from fellow iheartcomix blogger, FLUFFTRONIX! It’s a new track that’s super bass heavy and makes use of some pretty dramatic string sounds… The track is called SHARK ATTACK. And though it is just now getting dropped, Shark Attack is the world’s most essential Sharkstep anthem EVER! And as I’m sure you know, Sharkstep is the subgenre of bass music featuring dramatic strings. I read on Perez Hilton’s blog that Ariel has been jocking Fluffy pretty hard after hearing this; so without further ado

Flufftronix - Shark Attack (Ruff Cut)

I’ve heard this might get a Ltd Edition Vinyl pressing…

Wombats + South Central

South Central just gave us their remix for the Wombats to premiere — I fucking love the break in “Backfire at the Disco.” It totally comes out of nowhere inserting a dose of the original before it jumps back to electro rave. Ha. The track struggles with its sound throughout (in a good way) but […]

K.I.M. + Tomboy

KIM is one talented cat. The producer/drummer/programmer and one half of The Presets has been getting remixed of late. Tomboy’s take is my favourite. Modular Records is set to release a series of limited edition KIM 12″s in the coming months. Definately worth a purchase.

LA Riots Coachella Mix

The Coachella festival is starting today in Indio and to promote the festival, L.A. Times asked LA Riot to make an exclusive DJ mix of artists performing at Coachella this year. We would love to be there but somehow they forgot to send over our air tickets, I guess they got lost in the mail […]

Long Divison

Our friend Emynd always makes us happy with his nicely cut edits and remixes. This one has a nice discofeel with a touch of baltimore to make us hipsters smiling. Also be sure to check out Emynds remix of the huge South Rakkas song “Mad Again” thats on the digital release.

MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO

Before Portland’s Meat Beat Manifesto show I was able to to hang out with project founder, Jack Dangers. I wanted to pick his head so I figure out how Meat Beat Manifesto managed to do cool shit for 20 years without flashing the pan…

Like Andy Partridge of fellow Swindon band, XTC, Dangers grew up listening to dub and reggae on the radio. With an interest in new sounds, it wasn’t long before he began to hear the music coming out of Chicago in the mid 80’s. “It really was amazing how in one city there were the monumental house and industrial movements occurring at the same time without much overlap.”

The initial idea for the Meat Beat was to bring in elements of distorted bass and beats blend it with elements of hip hop. Sound familiar? Well a few years later, 40 miles away, Trip Hop exploded in Bristol. Soon MBM’s music evolved and began began to show influence of the Chicago House Dangers heard as a kid, and in the early 90’s the band’s recordings were were associated with rave bands like Orbital. - After moving to SF and signing to Nothing Records, the group found themselves in the heart of the electronica scene, making music not far from classic Chicago industrial. Meat Beat Manifesto has always in the right place at the right time.

The new album, Autoimmune, dropped last week on Metropolis Records. And it truly is Meat Beat Manifesto moving full circle back to their early influences by creating a cross of dubstep and their signature distortion. And though Dubstep is not a new genre, it is picking up major steam in the US.

Meat Beat has managed to exist as trendsetters by finding a way to keep the roots and goals of the project true while mixing it with contemporary styles in quality production. It’s this formula that’s kept Meat Beat Manifesto in a state of contact evolution for twenty years allowing them to stay brighter than other groups who are now seen as nothing more than a flash in the pan.

The Groove That Just Won’t Stop

We also got this previously unreleased track by DJ Beware and MC Gringo that was made out of […]

Van She

Is Van She the new Bravery? Not only will they be going on tour together in June, but Van She’s new video looks like a page out of Sam Endicott’s playbook. The clip could be better but “Strangers” as a song is pretty damn likeable. Look for it with remixes by Yuksek, Strip Steve and […]
