VNNR - What?

Thank god people remember what hard electro is supposed to sound like. If you follow what we do here around TCHNCRCY Music we've put up some awesome remixes VNNR's put down in the past. We're talking Oddworld's "Kortelas", Despuis91's "Erothiq", and most importantly, TCHNCRCY favorite, Irish Steph's "Power Pt. 2".  Now we come to bring you the newest hit from the boy from Belgium, WHAT? This EP is crazy heavy. The original is hands down my favorite off the release, courteously released by label Lektroluv I might add, but Modek put's his shine on the song in regular fashion while half of Hey Today!,  now known as Nickel, almost may have stolen the show with a few more flowing synths and a bit less distortion. Of course if you like the original, you'll still enjoy Dr. Lektroluv's own up tempo take on the track. But you're all big boys and girls. Make up you're own minds. Lektroluv has been kind enough to preview the whole EP on soundcloud, lovingly provided by your's truly below. Check it out, get your head right, and if you have any sense go grab the tracks over at Beatport so you can start crushing rooms.

BONUS

Speaking of people who know what hard electro sounds like and crushing rooms, Identity made it's second to last stop up here in the NW by the way of the Gorge in WA. Among some big names that you should already know, I want to focus up on our boy Drivepilot and his killer set on the Dim Mak Stage. You can catch his latest release with footage right here. Get ready for special things people. Very special things.

Clouds - Numbers EP + Sound of Stereo - Hurricane EP

WARNING: ONLY LISTEN TO THE MUSIC IN THIS POST WITH HUGE SPEAKERS W/ SUBS OR HEADPHONES THAT COST MORE THAN $100

Originally hailing from Perth, Clouds is a Duo now based in Edinburgh who definitely know how to grind out a bassline. Their debut EP Mauful Sir/Liquid contained some of the most heavy and grittiest bass sounds I ever heard since first laying ears on Russian phemon Proxy. Clouds, like thier label mate Proxy, share a love for a devastating sub range bass and Minimal-Maximal Prog House. If you do to check out this post.

Clouds just dropped thier Numbers EP and definitely didn't disappoint. I loved thier debut EP but Numbers is even better. It has everything I love from housey chops to minimal bleeps and banging, terrifying maximal bass. And all these elements are combined to produce phenomenal follow up EP and constantly varied to produce a diverse ever shifting sonic landscape, part beauty and fun and part terror and destruction. 

The Numbers EP is scheduled for release on March 29th on Turbo Recordings. Until then I highly recommend you give the EP a listen down below.

My favorite tracks are NUMBERS and BEEN WARNED. But the other two tracks rock as well, SUCKER even slightly reminds me of Proxy's fantastic Shit Your Rack remix.

If you like Clouds sounds above, I highly recommend that you check out Sound of Stereo's new EP, Hurricane. It is out now on Lektroluv Records and can be purchased through the link in the Soundcloud player below. The Hurricane EP features the same sort of minimal song structure with massive maximal bass and synth sounds. I highly recommend you check out/support this fantastic Belgian duo down below.

The Subs - The Face of the Planet

What is it about Gent that just makes the music I fucking love? The Subs have popped up all over this blog working with other great artists but the Belgian trio just dropped a new EP filled to the brim with fucking hammering basslines and foundation-threatening beats. Called "The Face of the Planet", the new release is their first single off their upcoming full length album "Decontrol" coming out at the end of this month on Lektroluv. I'm so down. 

Until then the previews are out on soundcloud and down below. The above video has the whole original if you like watching little kids freak out old people. You can also buy the whole EP on Beatport which I recommend because the likes of Gtronic, Clouds, and Tai all grace it's tracklist. I gotta say that this is one of the better EP's I've heard in a while. The original grows on you within two plays after you hear the synths really shine in the second half. And if that isn't heavy enough for you, just check out the newly formed Parametic's filthy, heavy dub remix of the track that is just a wrecking ball of sound and my favorite remix off the EP. Can't wait to hear more of their shit to come. Keep your eyes open for more of their stuff and be ready for The Subs to drop "Decontrol" soon.

Bonus:
Speaking of heavy dub, Figure just dropped a new EP on Beatport about a month ago, "Monsters of Drumstep", that didn't get much play and deserves some attention. My favorite track "Zombies" is chock full of awesome samples and has these wobbles that will fuck with your speakers if not your head. Cop that shit!
