Daly City drops another Addictech.com exclusive of new bangers courtesy of Elfkowitz and vocalist Mimi Page. On “Shadowdancing” they provide an alternative to aggressive frequencies, and embrace a more feminine aspect of left coast bass music.


With his signature dark and psychedelic beats and powerfully driving sub-bass, Elfkowitz creates an intricate backdrop for the light and ethereal vocals of Mimi Page. With styles that act as a perfect counter-balance to each other, Mimi Page and Elfkowitz release a 4-track collaborative package, which is a melancholy yet beautifully uplifting ride. The signature styles of both artists remain starkly present, but newfound inspiration is unlocked through their collaboration.

http://www.addictech.com/p/82540

Hot off of wicked performances at large outdoor summer festivals such as Burningman and Sonic Bloom, we've got some fresh Seied for you with our next in house label release!

An originator and major inspiration behind the burgeoning bass culture in both Denver and Colorado, Seied has been there since the beginning, pushing his low frequency waveforms through the years.

Tasteful glitches, rolling rhythms, and dense basslines are the recipe for success with these "Subdimensional Harmonics". Bringing a distinct sound and style to the table, Seied blends elements of glitch hop, breakbeat, and IDM - all with the intention to get you on the dancefloor to release yourself into the sound of the speakers flexing.

Even though this release is available on over 300 sites, we encourage you to purchase from the Addictech store. We are very generous to our artists, and by purchasing from this site you support them directly!

Always funky, popping with bass and rocking with cutting percussion, Vibesquad exceeds expectations and shows his new vibes with "Orphan Alien Pt. 1". Incorporating his own vocals at times, while also cruising his aural spaceship through the full spectrum of bass music, Aaron takes us on another wonderful journey.  Touching down inside of glitch hop, dubstep, drum and bass, he illustrates that he is unwilling to adopt any pigeonhole genre restrictions. As diverse as this release is, it provides a proper party soundtrack through the entire adventure.

ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : ORIGAMI PYRAMID EP : DEEPBLIP RECORDINGS

http://www.addictech.com/p/81937

The "Origami Pyramid EP" consists of six songs each loosely representing different aspects of mental awakening. Many of the concepts are based on the philosophies presented in various documentaries including David Icke, Zeitgeist, The Venus Project, and Kymatica.

Longtime friends and collaborators slowspines (Los Angeles, CA.) and Joe Mousepad (San Francisco, CA) intoxicate us with a deep and mystical take on futuristic hip-hop - the first from their new project Origami Pyramid. This debut EP deftly weaves futuristic synths and contemplative lyrics to create a hypnotic collage. First introduced in Boston, the two created an innovative art collective, producing cultural events and promoting positive collaboration between local multimedia artists. Many years (and several cities) later, Origami Pyramid continues their effortless synergy between IDM and hiphop, with influences ranging from Aesop Rock, Del, and Antipop Consortium to Prefuse 73, Aphex Twin and Autechre. This is hip hop with a moody, smoked-out twist, a film noir drowning in landscapes of Bay Area foggy days, New England winters and the West Coast breeze.

Check out this new exclusive only from Deepblip and Addictech.com!

ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : ION DRIVER - HANG IN THERE : RICOCHET RECORDS

http://www.addictech.com/p/81731

Following last year's Revolution EP, Ion Driver returns to Ricochet with a collection of driving yet subtle crisp sound sculptures in this latest Addictech.com Exclusive! 

Dennis Bunton's production skills are of the highest caliber, and this new EP for Ricochet gives a flavor of what to expect from Ion Driver's regular live performances throughout the deserts of his native California. 



A collaboration with Joby from Mad-Tek (Digital Distortions) kicks things off, built around understated drops reminiscent of Trentemøller's early work. Two contrasting interpretations of a live hang drum performance follow, one a hypnotic peacetime electro roller, the other a delicate burst of organic euphoria for sunrise. The collection is completed with a deep remix by Tokyo's Kawatin, fresh from his recent EP on Glack Audio.

Check out this wicked new release from another flavor of the California bass revolution!
