ME GUSTA – METANOIA

I been seeing the growth of these two producers over the last few years and it’s really a joy to hear them come into their own. Still under 21 these boys from East Side San Jose are making some heat in the lab. So they just dropped this free EP for the folks on 4/20. Download and spread the word. What’s up Sean and Dom! Me Gusta baby.

MIX: BOMB SQUAD MIX VOL. 5

Brothers Hank Shocklee and Keith Shocklee, better known to those that are up on thanks as The Bomb Squad, legendary production duo behind all of your Public Enemy THAT’S-MY-JOINT-ers, come beyond correct with their latest Bomb Squad Mix. Just a heads up to those expecting to hear sample-heavy, 808-slammin’, honey-go-get-my-neckbrace-out-the-attic-and-bring-me-an-icy-hot-pad beats, this ain’t it. After their P.E. days the Shocklee boys…err…grown ass men have been getting their fingers and samplers dirty with drum n’ bass, electronic, dubstep, and what have you. But please believe me, this shit still knocks. Hard. Almost too hard. I’m almost certain you’ll dig this enough to want the first four installments that they’ve  dropped over the last couple of years, so here are the links for them here, here, here, annnnnd here. Now gon’ head and get your Golden Inferno on!

CLASSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY: SQUAREPUSHER – COME ON MY SELECTOR

Squarepusher‘s Come On My Selector was directed by none other than Chris Cunningham. Genius Musician + Genius Director = AMAZING & MINDBLOWING video. For those who aren’t familiar Squarepusher is an electronic musician from the UK, known for being a maestro on hardware. Before the days of computers this guy was holding down beats on an BOSS DR-660, a true musician with a keen sense of translating his vision into sounds. Combine that talent with a young innovate director by the name of Chris Cunningham and you can’t imagine this being done any other way. Truly a classic.

DJG & HEADHUNTER – PRESSURE / SPACE CAKES

Proud to announce another heavyweight release from the homie and multi-talented DJG along side Headhunter. The a-side, Pressure, is a signature piece with progressive rhythms strung on haunting vocals and accompanied by a commanding bassline that’s at home in your headphones or on a sweaty dancefloor. The collaboration on the flip, Space Cakes, is a much dirtier tune, and when I say dirty, I mean the bass is grindy, the low-end wants to suck you in, and the vibe is mad thick. Out now, released on Wheel & Deal Records. Peep the bizniz below.
