Lucy - 'Bein'

Berlin bass minimalist, Luca Mortellaro aka Lucy, recently unleashed his debut album, Wordplay For Working Bees, on his label, Stroboscopic Artefacts. The 11 track album has been posted in my itunes for about a month now and its been on constant repeat. One track in particular, 'Bein', has worked up to be one of my absolute favorites off the release. Bringing 9 minutes of unsparing minimal basslines and increasingly dingy hypnotic underground vibes; it repeatedly engrains and empowers an everlasting head-bopping episode of lucid IDM reverberations. Purely next level bass material. Purchase and stream the whole album HERE.

Alphabets Heaven - 'Walk On' + 'Woman (feat. Alessi's Ark)'

Jonny Wildey aka Alphabets Heaven of the Kings Deluxe collective, dropped his alluring 11 track debut album, Jay's Odyssey, earlier this year. The album engirds a dreamful opacity of beatastic measures that can uplift and creep at anytime of the day. 'Walk On' runs a consistent waterfall of textures and tones that phase in and out, pulsating and streaming through the speakers and into your earholes. Post-dream, afterglow material. 'Woman (feat. Alessi's Ark)' gives off a bass heavy, funky melody that captures the femininity of the powerfully reverberated voice of, Alessi Ark and maximizes the spatial depth of the wonderfully worked track. Buy the physical release HERE or stream the digital release HERE.

album :: 2562 - Fever

Post-garage breaker, Dave Huismans aka 2562, released his third LP enitled, Fever, sometime last month on his own imprint label, When In Doubt. Dave has really taken a variety of electronic sounds to create his very own; from garage to house to techno to break-beat to post dubstep and to now what some people call 'funky'. His sound can really be labeled under a lot of genres, it's limitless, there's glimpses of many tones in this third album of his. Rolling bass-music, up-beat and hyper-edited snare hits, spacey synths, broken-beats, a hybrid of old and new techno, and post-dub vibes. This 11 track piece wanders into a realm of innovative club jams and utterly repetitive mind-chruning rhythms, triggering something in any body to react and be spellbound by the tones and textures of these tracks.

BTS Radio // Micachu vs Kwake Bass - Meat Batch Mix

I have not been able to get enough of this mix lately. So damn good, as well as every other mix done on BTS Radio. Andrew Meza is always on point.

"Gutter music. Mica Levi may be your favorite artist’s favorite artist. Pop meets art house, Levi’s reputation has been built on her unique production techniques, often distorted, loose and usually built from her own crafted instruments. On this “Meat Batch” guest mix, they go toe-to-toe with original beats, sonically matched and weaved together sounding as if they were straight from cassette. Bass driven, dark and lo-fi."
