ZZT - ZZafrika

After years of silence ZZT has finally reunited to bring you ZZafrika. If you aren't familiar with the duo that masterminded the fantastic '08 destroyers, "The Worm" and "Lower State of Conciseness", ZZT is a side project of producers Tiga and Zombie Nation. This supergroup has laid dormant for almost two years now but they are back to bring you a gem. Check out ZZafrika below, and remember to grab it on October 5th when it drops, here on Turbo Recordings digi music store.

Bonus: If you are looking for an absolute CRUSHER, look no further than Erol Alkan's rework of ZZT's fantastic original track "The Worm". Rave, Rave, Rave!

ZZT - The Worm (Erol Alkan Rework)

Chilled but not Frozen

A summer day is only as good as its night, and with all the heat rolling out, not everyone is going to feel like going buck wild as the sun sets. I've got some phenomenal mellow tracks to help calm you down before you get hyped out of your mind for this weekend (Specifically EDC). First off I've got a great remix by none other than Ed Banger's Mr. Flash that is just a testament of the Frenchman's ability to produce. So many switches from airy to upbeat to mellow and then back again, all while keeping the song seamless. Then Germany's D.I.M. dropped a remix of Demon's "I Think", a melancholy track that D.I.M. takes even deeper and adds his own fidget touch to keep it interesting. And I've heard a lot of remixes of Kavinsky's "Nightcall", and most of them fall short, usually attempting to become the next Danger. However, recently mentioned 8-bit producer Shirobon has done the exact opposite, departing away from his 8-bit roots, speeding up the sample, adding some hard basslines, and still keeping that Kavinisky vibe rolling through the whole track. I highly recommend you grab these tracks and maybe a drink. It's almost the weekend.

Bonus Banger:

And here's something to pre-game to.
By no means better than the genuine idol, L.A.'s Religion adds some heavy distortion on Boys Noize & Erol Alkan's almost flawless track. Wait 2 minutes in for the drop.

This a very interesting/entertaining interview/mini documentary about Germany's Boys Noize; I enjoyed it so maybe you will too. The Creators Project is a shared effort between Intel and Vice Magazine. As stated on their website: "The Creators Project has two mandates: on one hand it’s a modern day media channel that we will continually identify and celebrate the work of visionary artists wherever they are. On the other hand it is also a content creation studio, an arts foundation of sorts that will facilitate the production and dissemination of new work with these artists and their collaborators."
