TheRiotz! 3rd EP - Social Defector

The video above is the visual stimulus for the Social Defector EP that came out about a month ago on WetShake Records by none other than TCHNCRCY favorites, TheRiotz! So if you didn't catch the older post I did on TheRiotz! then go check it out. These Koreans can really fucking put it down and as always their newish EP is packed to the brim with glitched out beats and destructive bass. I'm sorry I didn't get this all to you sooner but if you were on your shit you already know. If you weren't, like me, you can check out the whole EP on soundcloud below. All that aside, the original is a bleep fest that reminds me of Boys Noize with its computerized voice samples and the risekr remix is breakbeat to its finest. I'm finding it really hard to find anything these guys do that I don't like. Definitely keep an eye out for new hits popping from these two.

New Release !!! 3rd EP.Theriotz!-Social Defector by THERIOTZ

Dada Life- White Noise/ Red Meat EP

This EP dropped Febraury first on Dim Mak Records. White Noise/Re Meat is one the Swedish duo's more powerful tracks, it has a solid light bass synth that drives the melody into a great drop leading to steady and incredible distorted bass and good drums, I highly recommend spending a little money on an EP that revolves around such a satisfying track. As you can see from the teaser below, if there is one thing that we can see Dada Life, The Beetroots, and Will Ferrel agree on (at least implicitly) is that sometimes you just have to have more cowbell.



Check out the track here:

Bonus:

Perhaps we know something else you might like. I recommend looking into what the fantastic Swedish duo F.O.O.L. has put out for free very recently. Below is the preview of the whole 'To Japan and Never Back' EP and the download link. Not only does it feature a few F.O.O.L. originals, which have the usual sound but this time infused with melodic light synths (pretty interesting), but also features a Redial remix that is very solid and flirts with Dubstep and a Dead C∆T Bounce Remix that is just too sick. Don't miss it!

What!? More Bonus:????
Yes more bonus. Because we know you want more, here is another banging Swedish duo...

...Puma Sweden's rack, allegedly featured in over 105 "Swedish Flicks." What a hard-working girl. Only thing is that she doesn't produce any banger electro track's (or does she?).

Teenage Bad Girl - Keep Up With You EP

Everyone wants some Teenage Bad Girl for Valentines day! And while that statement might prompt calls to child protective services in some circles, in dance music circles this statement rings universally true. Today the French electronic duo and Archibel Records owners and Guillaume Manbell and Greg Kazbuski of Teenage Bad Girl released the Keep Up With You EP on Citizen Records. The original mix sounds like Van Halen's take on electro/house and needless to say it is phenomenal! The EP also contains fantastic and very diverse remixes from Louis La Roche, Depressed Button (formerly The Faint), Lifelike, and Huoratron. I highly recommend that you purchase the whole damn thing on Beatport, because it fucking rocks. And keep your fingers crossed for a Teenage Bad Girl LP hopefully coming soon.

Ninetynine & Dominic Pierce: Close To Modern

Ninetynine is a Canadian producer originally from Calgary but now based in Vancouver. He makes music that he describes as Nightmare House/Electro and I agree, he produces dark, heavy and scary breed of electro/house. But don't take it from me, his tracks have been supported, remixed and played out in sets by some of the founders and champions of heavy and scary electro/house like The Proxy, Q.G., Les Petits Pilous, and Mashed Paper Klub. Want some music? Grab some huge tracks from 99 down below and swing by his soundcloud to hear more.

Dominic Pierce is another talented Canadian originally from Calgary and based in Van. & Calgary. Dominic lists his major influences as Cassius, Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx which you can definitely feel through his music. He produces a unique, original and awesome mixture of House and French Touch with a whole lot more. With much support coming from talented French Touchers like The Phantoms Revenge, Dominic clearly got skills. Check out some of his work below and make sure you swing by his Soundcloud page for added listening.

Ed Banger Says: Let the Children Techno

We have all been waiting for the next Ed Banger release, and even though The Rawkers Ep was one of the best of the last year, it is clear that Ed Banger needs to put out yet another amalgam of electro tracks that will bring them back the glory they enjoyed back in 2007.

How come Sebastian's album is not ready? Well, it could be plain laziness, I mean, it was due ages ago. Or perhaps, Pedro Winter, is holding on to Ed Banger's new arsenal of tracks strategically; testing them with the audience and following a Darwinian process, choosing only the best. Only time will tell, but us the fans can't wait for more bangers to dance to; fans constantly digging deeper and deeper online in hopes to find that DJ set on youtube that features an unreleased Ed Banger track no matter if someone recorded it with a shitty camera phone. And that sort of devotion is the result of only the highest of expectations; a fact Ed Banger might be aware of. If anything it is clear that they have set a high bar for others and themselves. Fans want the french legends to be done producing movie scores and soundtracks, and want them behind the turntables.

The real question is whether or not Ed Banger will lead the new wave of electro in 2011-2012. Can a new Sebastian album and hopefully a new Justice album live up the expectations and deliver as much as they did before Ed Banger had become a global phenomenon? We sure hope so.

Anyways, here is the latest Ed Banger compilation to come out February 21 on iTunes. It is mixed by DJ Mehdi and Busy P and features unreleased tracks by Sebastian, Mr. Oizo (who claims to feel like a "castrated Hugh Hefner wearing a Sponge Bob costume" when performing live??), Mehdi, Feadz, Breakbot, Busy P, and many more (sorry no Justice track, or for that matter U.S. dates on the promotional tour). Check out this link to preview and pre-order the mix. It is hard to tell what some of the tracks will end up sounding like, but you will get our review once the tracks are released.

Sinden Presents: Free Gucci 2 The Burrrtish Edition

Sinden and Mad Decent recently came together to bring you the second installment of the Free Gucci mixtape series. While Gucci Mane is out of jail this time around, Sinden and Mad Decent are still brining you this mixtape packed full of goodies all free of charge. This one is also the Burrrtish Edition in honor of both the number of fantastic UK producers and rappers/vocalists taking cracks at mixin' Gucci and the new ice cream cone tat Gucci us sportin' on his cheek. You can see the full tracklist above in the .gif and you can download the full mix tape down below fo free. Personally I like the Hudson Mohawk mix the most but there are a bunch of sick tracks on board.

Bonus: My high school buddy Averill introduced me to Gucci way back in the day. Since then, Ave has turned into a mighty fine Hip Hop/Electro producer and introduced me to a lot more great music in the process. Lucky for you he is giving away his entire recent catalog of productions and mixes all for free. You can check bunch of free music, leave some comments, and show DJ Ducket some love all on his soundcloud page. Hopefully by the time Free Gucci 3 comes around, you'll see a DJ Ducket remix on the bill.
