ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : PSYMBIONIC - ILLUSIONS EP : MADE IN GLITCH

http://www.addictech.com/p/88627

The debut EP from Austin, TX producer Psymbionic arrives on California-based Made In Glitch as an Addictech.com Exclusive!

Drawing on a wide array of influences, the “Illusions” EP traverses the spectrum of bass music with five tracks that weigh in on multiple sub genres of Dubstep. The title track “Illusions”, featuring San Francisco MC Joe Mousepad, takes a page from UK Grime and shares some Garage energy with the more contrasted “Amalgamaelstrom”. Both “Oscillating Orbs” (w/ ONE4ALL) and “Space Monkey” stylistically derive from more instrumental hip hop roots, utilizing engaging rhythms and shuffle. A collaboration effort with A/V artist Pharo brings up the rear, titled “Scooby Don’t”, providing heavy vibes and a spooky overtone.

This debut offers a better taste of the originality that is emerging from Psymbionic’s studio, and foreshadows a bright and fruitful future for the energetic producer.

http://www.addictech.com/p/87898

Ion Driver has always been one of our favorite electro producers, he proves yet again that he is extremely versatile and wickedly talented with his latest release on Addictech Records entitled "Waves".

Honing his craft over many years, and currently residing on the West Coast, Dennis Bunton produces a more sophisticated and calculated expression of intelligent glitch and bass music.

Beginning with an acoustic piano piece of "First Verse", moving next to the extremely deep and smooth downtempo excursion of "Deep Sands" you experience a welcoming warm up to the breadth of this release.  Next up is the pumping electrobreaks track "Dirt", bringing us out of the organic introspective journey and into the sweaty electronic dancefloor. "Electro Magnetism" is just that - an rolling electro bomb with impeccable sound design that will have you hitting replay to examine its detail. "Steady" moves forward with a downtempo cavern of glitch, and "Forward" spreads uptempo IDM across the airwaves. The package is rounded out by another acoustic and organic piece with "Tuner", and wraps up with the ambient cascade entitled "Sounding".

Ion Driver keeps true to his individual artistic expression and we are excited to help him share it with the world!

ADDICTECH.COM FEATURED RELEASE : FREQ NASTY - LOW FREQUENCY PURELAND EP : FREQ NASTY RECORDINGS

http://www.addictech.com/p/88248

The 'Low FreQuency Pureland EP' marks FreQ Nasty’s re-entry into the world of boundary-pushing music!

'Warm Dark Place' is equal parts West Coast glitch hop and UK tear-out. The influence of FreQ’s time in the US Bass heaven of California is obvious with a haunting melodic refrain offsetting the hefty bass pressure. '1000 Angels of the Heaven of Bass' is a crunkstep roller that takes the uptempo hiphop beats of the Northern Californian Hyphy movement and welds them to seismic 808 bassline. ‘The Heart of Definitive Meaning' is a slowly evolving journey into the more reflective side of Bass music, with swathes of guitar over a backdrop of distant chimes and revolving chords, all served on a bed of deep sub bass.

The LowFreQuency Pureland EP was selected by DJ Mag as the MoneyShot release for December, receiving a 10 out of 10.

Born in Fiji, raised in New Zealand and formed musically in the dance music revolution of London in the late 90’s, FreQ Nasty started his career on the seminal UK label Botchit & Scarper, moving to SKINT Records in 2003. He went on to release a slew of cutting-edge records, collaborating with and remixing a diverse range of artists including Fatboy Slim, Kelis, KRS One, Roots Manuva, Rodney P, and Reggae legend Junior Delgado.

With the cutting-edge re-design of his website, launch of his new label, and worldwide release of his new EP, FreQ is making a powerful entry into 2012.

ADDICTECH RECORDS PRESENTS : SI BEGG - PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE

http://www.addictech.com/p/86004

 

For the latest in-house label release, Addictech is excited to bring you a glimpse of what is possible with electronic music innovation. Following no trends through his illustrious career and setting the pace for his comrades, we are confident in saying that Si Begg is one of the most impressive and prolific electronic music producers on the face of the earth. His remarkable catalog makes it appear to be easy to span multiple genres successfully over many years. Si has always been a direct influence on Addictech and to work with him in releasing his latest output is an honor, as the mark that Si has made on underground bass music is undeniable.

Pre-Emptive Strike is a glimpse into the now of the Begg machine, foreshadowing the forthcoming full length album “Permission to Explode” which will be released on Addictech Records in early 2012. Exercising an extremely wide gradient of genres and sounds, diversity is obvious as he has an appropriate moment for the dancefloor as well as the afterparty, peak time or downtime, this is an expression from a true artist.

Beginning with the experimental noise of Alexandra Palace November 2nd 1936, then evolving and the rocking the dancehall with Reasonable Force, from the start there are clear indicators that this is not your standard predictable release. We roll next through popping and lighthearted melodic glitch with Bubbles, then Si wraps up the EP by washing over your ears with euphoric ambient waves in an epic and cinematic downtempo trilogy How The Internet Ruined Your Life – this is a ride through the synapses of one of the greatest minds behind the digital dance.

Intial feedback is a reflection of this quality release!

"I always look forward to whatever Si Begg has coming out, dude is a genius. This EP is another one to add to the already strong arsenal". - Z-Trip
“New gltched-out-dope-ness on the large from Sibegg! Some nice ambient action balances out the package with a nice flavor.” – Uberzone
"Love this! Epic vibes...” – James Zabiela
"Beautiful, haunting track showing off the massive production skills of the master Si Begg" Eddy Temple Morris (Re: How The Internet Ruined Your Life)
"Strong release from the master of playful, twisted electronics Si Begg. 'Reasonable Force' is the one, fusing warped dancefloor beats with masterful sound design." - Stormfield
"I'm loving all the versions of 'How The Internet Ruined Your Life', good to hear some super washed out drifty sound design and atmospherics :)" - Dov
"This is quite epic so far, 'How The Internet Ruined Your Life' is probably the best piece of electronic orchestration since orbitals on and on, feels like it should be the ending to the hackers soundtrack but post 2012 apocalyptia reboot." - Udachi

Get in now and start enjoying this amazing package!

http://www.addictech.com/p/86356

Simplify Recordings has set a pace with bass music in 2011, and they rock into Addictech.com with a new artist – Balthazar!
 

An interesting combination of deep and detailed song structure with progressive melodies, Balthazar's debut release with Simplify Recordings is an atmospheric, bass-saturated bomb.

The first track, "Eclipse" sets the stage with a powerful, IDM-influenced melody, precise use of effects, and a diverse percussion rack. The listener is immediately put into the mindset of a wanderer in a far-off land, witnessing their first-ever total solar eclipse, an utterly mind-boggling and completely terrifying natural phenomenon.  

"Tools Of Ill Omen" immediately rounds out the release with bombastic bass and a pumped-up melodic lead right out of the gate. A heavy drum repeat, a torrent of explosive and gritty reverb, a funky bassline, and endless bits of variation throughout the track. 

 

"Eclipse / Tools Of Ill Omen" is a massive first release for this talented new producer, only available at Addictech.com!
