ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : BASS SCIENCE : PSYCHEDELIC AMERICAN BOYHOOD : MADE IN GLITCH

http://www.addictech.com/p/113144

Psychedelic American Boyhood is the latest Bass Science release on Made In Glitch. Bass Science is Matt B, a producer whose eclectic sound has been cultivated from a wide range of influences, from his homes in London and Japan to Los Angeles, and many places between.

This release is taking Matt B’s big love for melodic synth lines, lush stabs and epic drops, bringing it to another strength: inclusiveness. It’s fairly easy to identify the stylistic nods to dubstep, electro, R’n’B and hip-hop.

The title track is a clear example of evolving synth progressions mixed with the heaviness of what we all except from a dubstep track. So is "Be Still and Know" the second cut of this EP, rocking clunking, dirty bass breaks pinned between soaring synthesizers.

“Starglide” possibly the most chilled track in this release, combining a groovy beat with an evolving psy bassline. Matt B called in label homie High Top Kicks to perform the vocal for the next track in this release "Eating Elephants" where pop and dubstep seem to effortlessly share same territories. “Mono Sweetheart” starts in the chill out realm but eventually turns into funky breakbeats. “In My Life” is the kicker. A brisk build of synth arpeggios runs into a thunderous drum and bass drop which continues unabated. “Crazy World” sees a collaboration with London based MC Mikey Murka of the legendary Unity Sound System, and it is a heavy reggae influenced dub hop affair. "Live Forever" winks at those 80s rnb melodies, and the closing track is a refix of "Be Still And Know"

Also included in the release are remixes by artist that are not new to the Made In Glitch fanbase: SOunduo, Unlimited  Gravity, HAMM F.M., +Verb , Mesca, and Viscount

ADDICTECH RECORDS PRESENTS : OPIUO - BUTTERNUT SLAP - PART 3

http://www.addictech.com/p/112480

Opiuo has created an individual and uniquely funky sound, heavy in bass and soaked in top shelf production techniques. His Butternut Slap series has defined the next evolution in this artists adventure of sound. Selling out tours all over the world, it is no surprise that his rise to the top is imminent. Opiuo's light is shining very bright, and due to his dedication and unique approach to the dancefloor he is establishing himself as a true artist that will make his mark in EDM history. His latest output is here, Butternut Slap Part 3!

We start the EP with Fizzle Tickler, a heavy anthemic piece of Opiuo. Laced perfectly with guitar, this hands in the air track pumps with grinding bass and a deep breakdown. Never fizzling, always tickling, this driving and chunky rocker is a great introduction to the release.

Next up is In Search of King Anchovy, immediately grabbing the listeners with a lead synth that is somehow both infectious as well as twisted. Huge drums support an incredible level of sustaining low end pressure, tight stabs and funky punches of melody glue together what could be what we consider the biggest track on the EP.

The heads will love what Gravel Rash adds to the package, with its warbly bass and warped power slump. This is the most experimental part of this release, still rocking the dancers and activating those wiggle muscles that you had forgotten about. You can really hear Opiuo's unique approach to synthesis applied with very intentional composition and sound design here.

To round out the package we have Trout Snout, a raggafied driving masterpiece. There is a suspiciously wicked symbiotic pump of the throbbing bass, the hypnotic skank, and the slick percussion that makes us wonder if Opiuo has been spending some secret time in Jamaica.

Once again, Opiuo meets and exceeds all expectations!

The atmosphere of the first track "Until the Truth" can evoke some of the classic films, like 2001 Space Odyssey or Blade Runner. This piece stands out as a return of the dubstep origins, a mystic and futuristic dub with minimalist melodies bolstered with the physical energy of low frequencies.

The second piece of the EP, "Wake Up" is rougher and more intoxicating. Supported by a powerful bass drum kit, this evolutionary piece pushes the divide of dubstep and techno.

Griff is back with his second EP this year for Adapted! “So it Goes” takes you once more to a place of melodious dreamscapes and contenting compositions. It's now available only at Addictech.com!

Kicking off with “Basic Original Theories”, the first track transgresses through a deep bassline and seamless instrumental progressions through to a squelchy, heavenly climax. “Crinkle” then steers in to a warped atmospheric plane, driving forward with smooth low-end synthesis and crisp percussion that floats through every nerve of the body in a blissful manner, before “Dust and Light” thrusts the listener into a cross-continental boogie, smoothly merging fresh sound design with gliding sitar sounds and a floor-rattling beat. The release reaches an aptly named crescendo with “The Cycle”, a smooth flowing dub ballad that could make the busiest bee stop and think for a few minutes, with thought inspiring note patterns gliding insatiably over that trademark percussive crunch that has made this talented composer stand out.

ADDICTECH.COM FEATURED RELEASE : THE GASLAMP KILLER - BREAKTHROUGH : BRAINFEEDER

http://www.addictech.com/p/110513

Breakthrough is the debut full-length album from the Gaslamp Killer, a manic and mystic trip through the mind of a madman. Resident DJ and co-founder of the mythic Low End Theory club night in Los Angeles, the Gaslamp Killer is known across the globe for his impeccable turntable skills and high-energy performances. He delivers the same fire to Breakthrough, a project pulled from within his soul that is his strongest musical statement yet.

Blending California-inspired psych with widespread global influences, Breakthrough is a musical anachronism, an unconstrained compilation from a wandering spirit. Finding new clarity through human connections after years on the road, the Gaslamp Killer’s evolution as an artist continues with Breakthrough. Overcast with ominous tones, loose drums and contorted sounds, Breakthrough is much more than a collection of beats; it is a musical project that reflects the culmination of almost a decade’s worth touring and performing around the world. Laying his hands on production and live drums, the Gaslamp Killer brings together a potent cast of friends to contribute to the album. Featuring guest appearances by Gonjasufi, Adrian Younge, Dimlite, Daedelus, SAMIYAM, Computer Jay and more, Breakthrough is a journey of creative connection, a tribal ceremony loaded with a sense of fellowship that reflects the Gaslamp Killer’s devotion to the collective experience.

Lacing the album with ancient dust, Gonjasufi lends his gritty voice to instantly grasping "Veins" and the easy, grainy groove of "Apparitions." Finding a frequency of high-strung horror, "Flange Face (with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson)" drops with a feeling of impending doom, a heaving monster with cinematic strings and meteors falling from the stars.

"Impulse (with Daedelus)" immediately descends into madness, spinning out of control amidst wicked sound contraptions and a blurry, bass-driven melody. Named after the Gaslamp Killer’s grandfather, "Nissim (with Amir Yaghmai)" travels through a host of emotions, evolving from the solemn strums of a yiali tambur into a sunny tune that instantly transports you to Istanbul.

"Seven Years of Bad Luck for Fun (with Dimlite)" slices the spine down the middle with chills, a cold-blooded tremor that congeals as it crawls through the shadows. Grabbing your breath through your guts and flinging off into the ether, "In the Dark" is an encompassing track whose twisted strings and heavy horns overtake the album’s denouement with a shuddering glimpse of the end of the world.

To his ever-expanding fanbase, the Gaslamp Killer is much more than a DJ or producer; he is a master crafter of the collective experience, a shaman of spiritual escape found by following the beats. The journey continues; turning 30 this year, the Gaslamp Killer has only scratched the surface of himself as an artist and a person. Resonating on a deeper level, Breakthrough is the Gaslamp Killer’s spirit shining through the haze, breaking through the foggy veil of singularity to find the human connection.

“I learned everything from my friends.” The Gaslamp Killer

http://www.addictech.com/p/107387

Our latest release on Addictech Records expands our catalog with the hybridized sounds from Albino Sosa a.k.a. Austero!

With this initial release he embarks himself onto a new experience in which he puts together guitars, pianos, vocals, dubby vibes, soulful melodies, glitch and dubstep. His melodies and riffs ignite a musical fire that socially and politically tells a story of his years around this earth, his vision and hope.

ADDICTECH.COM FEATURED RELEASE : FREQ NASTY AND MARTY PARTY - BEETHOVENS FILTH : FREQ NASTY RECORDINGS

http://www.addictech.com/p/109513

Freq Nasty and Marty Party are household names in the bass music arena, and they have collaborated on a dirty little release!

‘Beethoven’s Filth’ was started by MartyParty and FreQ Nasty in the back of the Monsters of Bass tour bus as it crossed the US. But it wasn’t until they got back to Marty’s Brooklyn studio that the filth started to fly. It’s a tasty combo of sweet strings and melody with salty electronics and a drop that will have Beethoven turning... or maybe raving... in his grave.

Hot Delux smoothly fuses an opulent classical motif with the electronic hip hop sound that is ripping thru the underground right now. Luxurious violins, cello, oboe, and tuba float over a weighty bottom end while skittish 808 snares delicately tickle the high end, giving the track a seductive mechanical drum funk.

ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : TIPPER - SHATTERBOX EP : TIPPERMUSIC

http://www.addictech.com/p/106846

Well then, what do we have here? Yet another bar-raising dancefloor release from Dave Tipper! The man is a machine of individual electronic exploration, constantly splattering minds while controlling the bodies of the revelers on the other side of the speakers through banging rhythms, intricate layering, bass waves you could surf on, and easily some of the cleanest and most inspiring production quality control ever. He delivers these transmissions the entire time with a humble demeanor, as you will never see him hyping up the crowd with headbanging tomahawking antics, you wont hear him on the microphone announcing the next big drop, he can simply let the quality of his music do the talking.

With the Shatterbox EP, Dave again flexes his diversity by surprising us with the title track by kicking up the tempo to Drum and Bass! Something we personally have always wanted to hear from him, and when witnessed in person is obviously an energy that not only we appreciate. Inside the EP we also have Higgins, a journey with a slightly mystical introduction, that quickly moves into a raging pulse of the Tipper vibration. We've also got Spunion, which is what might be the closest thing you will hear to a vocal representation of a cyborg alien laughing in joy, reveling in the bass. Last but certainly not least is On the Natch, a super funktastic horn filled electrorganic hybrid.

Dave always brings the noise!

ADDICTECH RECORDS PRESENTS : SI BEGG - TOTAL CONTROL EP

http://www.addictech.com/p/106517

In a world of copycat producers riding each new wave of audio trends, there are very few producers that have stood the test of time. Si Begg is no flash in the pan, he is one of the original purveyors of bass and glitch, while also maintaining his foundation in many other genres of electronic music.

His newest EP "Total Control" is another welcomed addition to his catalog, and Addictech Records is ecstatic to represent Si in his many musical endeavors. Si was one of the original producers to inspire Addictech to do what we do!

The title track Total Control is a pure electrobreakbeat rolling stomper, with a gnarly bassline and meticulously placed edits. Next up is the Basswork Mix, which leans more toward banging percussion and slightly more aggressive frequencies for those that like it a little more dirty, setting off the rave alarm. Following the Basswork Mix is the Collapsing Mix, this one taking the formula and rinsing it through the abstract filter, while freaking the frequencies and flipping another rolling yet steppy glitch beat. And finally to round out the package we have the track 10 Regals and a Pint of Mild, a collaboration of psychedelic rock vibes awash in analog distortion - having us ask the question, does Si have a secret rock band hidden away in his studio?

Si Begg never fails to impress or surprise with his musical output, and this is no exception!

The release kicks off with a warped and funkadelic remix of “Router” by Circuit Bent, presenting a strange beauty over a solid beat, with abstract sample manipulation and a smooth analogue sounding bass line. Synaecide then re-routes the same tune in many different directions, steering the soundscape seamlessly from an ambient introduction through to a demanding dubstep sector into beastly breaks territory, and finishing with a funky flat four criscendo, with orchestral harmonies sneaking their way through the tune. Next in line is Blatwax's sinister take on “Tubes”, an enticing accumulation of breaks and tech styles with rhythmic and spacial arpegios gliding through the track, driving forward with delicate precision. Whitebear then proceeds to break ground with his remix of “Shatter”, delivering an atmospheric crunch of sounds that deeply infiltrates every sense and instigates naturally flowing bodily movements. Kalya Scintilla glows with his interpretation of “Blush”, a bouncy adventure of depth and inspiration, an insatiable composition of spacial bass and pounding percussion. The EP then concludes with Mindbuffer's epic remake of “Balance”, a captivating journey of pristine audio manipulation, omitting vibrations of both wonder and intense brutality, in a concise combination of dubstep, breaks and jungle, resulting in a realisation of the sheer wizardry of this duo.

“Re-Focused – Part 1” exhibits some of the most admired masterminds of sound production in the country, who all share with Mr. Bill the traits of penetrating basslines and extremely innovative abilities in sound design.

ADDICTECH RECORDS PRESENTS : OPIUO - BUTTERNUT SLAP - PART 2

http://www.addictech.com/p/103144

Fresh off headlining a sold out international tour, Opiuo is back with Part 2 of the chart topping Butternut Slap series! Cementing his hold in the forefront of dancefloor electronics, he evolves his sound further and lands the soul slap funkship directly in the center of the target of your inner raver’s third eye. We don’t know where this music comes from, or how Opiuo manages to continue to evolve and surprise, but he is clearly setting the bar for many to aspire to.

From the opening percussion of Wiggle Sticks, Opiuo quickly jumps into the funk. Tight synth stabs accentuate the rolling beats and detailed bass.  Live horns enter into the fold reminding us that even in the sound of future music, human soul and intonation spread that special sauce on this delicious serving of gourmet audio.

Next up is Ripple, a dreamy and lucid intro prepare us for the pumping beats and swinging fat bassline. As your neck avoids whiplash and your hips uncontrollably swing to the rhythms, the Opiuo spell entrances you through a ecstatic breakdown, then dropping you flat on your face returning to the beat, injected with additional adrenaline.

Don’t Hold Back follows up next, riding on the resonance of Ripple. This is an epic vocal tune that will turn the head of any lyrical haters. Come prepared to be possessed by the music, as this lurching bass monster contains the syrupy and soulful vocals of Syreneiscreamy as well as the influence of Russ Liquid.

The final track is Butternut Slap, and from the onset the euphoric pads and incredibly thick bass embrace the Addictech ethos of “Music is the Drug”. Opiuo’s music constantly defies genre classification, maintaining certain critical elements of top shelf production standards, inventive songwriting, and unheard of originality!

ADDICTECH.COM FEATURED RELEASE : ECHO WANDERER - MOVING THROUGH DUB : FULL MELT

http://www.addictech.com/p/102733

Full Melt is one of the OG dubstep labels out of San Francisco, and we are consistantly impressed with their diverse output.
Hailing from Southern California, Echo Wanderer creates a brand of dub music that transcends beyond the realm of tradition. Having had a background of Punk, Ska, Industrial and EBM, Shoegaze and Noise, this artist comes from influences outside of your standard cookie cutter midrange wobble.

These influences shine through to form a sound that is all at once emotional, dark, pensive, experimental, and sub heavy, while keeping a dub reggae backbone. His dub is extremely visual and is designed to be hypnotic, with layer upon layer of counterpoint that, upon each listen, new elements are discovered. The Echo Wanderer project started about 7 years ago working with various electronic styles under different names ranging from left-field Dub and DnB, to glitchy IDM and psychedelic Trip Hop.

In 2010, he released the digital single "Sound System Miracle/Eruption Dub" on RogueDubs, shortly followed by the release of the Persian classical influenced "Gham Dub" on the "Dubstep Meditations" compilation on Full Melt Recordings.

If you like your dubstep deep and trippy, this one is for you!

ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : SHARPS - THE SPHINX : MUTI MUSIC

http://www.addictech.com/p/101056

Sharps’ work, “The Sphinx” is his latest in Latin infused bass music, a sound that combines big subs with surgical edits and a tropical heartbeat. “The Sphinx” EP began life as a series of vocal bootlegs created for his DJ sets. For the release of the EP, he decided to do something different.

“I wanted to create music that was purely instrumental, that didn’t rely on the human voice. So I worked the tracks, searching for ways to replace these vocal lines with synthetic textures. In the end I found that by making the synths behave like the human voice, it kept the energy, but moved the music into a more abstract realm.”

Sharps’ tropical bass sound began in 2004, during a trip to London UK when he encountered dubstep and reggaeton for the first time. Realizing that both these sounds needed to find a place in the clubs and festivals at home, he merged them with breaks and glitch-hop, producing his early experiment “el Boss”, and other tunes. Years later, while DJing at Burningman in the company of Puerto Ricans and open-minded revelers, he found that the steady Dem-bow beat, combined with the big bass moved the crowd like nothing else. The experience catalyzed his “Tropical Bass” EP, and now, with the sound further refined and proven on the dance floor, he presents his latest work “The Sphinx”

Here's what people are saying about Powell Beats:

"Parisian tunesmith Powell certainly leans heavily towards the art of sound design, but thankfully has a toe or two dipped into the pond of catchy hooks. His brand of funky, electro-tinged bass music is rife with rubbery synth tones, swarms of neon space noise, and gut-punching beats" - XLR8R

"This musician formed his unique style, characterized by an abundance of unstructured percussive sounds, low-frequency explosions and laser synthetic trills in all kinds of electro, glitch, wonky and bass incarnations." - Alpha Pup

They've said it for us! Delay no further and check out this exclusive Addictech.com release from Powell Beats and Made in Glitch!

ADDICTECH.COM FEATURED RELEASE : NYMFO - CHARACTERS : COMMERCIAL SUICIDE

ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : THE DIGITAL CONNECTION - THE CENTER OF GRAVITY : GRAVITAS RECORDINGS

http://www.addictech.com/p/101714

Fresh from the ever growing electronic hotbed of Colorado comes "The Center of Gravity" on Gravitas Recordings, the debut EP from bass heavy producer The Digital Connection. Blurring genre lines right out of the gate, this six track EP embraces considerable influence from dubstep and glitch hop while still maintaining a hybrid sound. Crisp and textured sound contrasts the stirring melodic progressions throughout each track's arrangement, keeping the listener engaged and eagerly anticipating what could be next.

Spawned from dreams of broken toy sounds, "Unusual Entities" starts the release off with a healthy dose of midtempo bounce. The funky title track shares a similarly upbeat rhythm, blending relaxed chords into bubbling bass noises as the song progresses. Both "An Imbalance" and "On A Brighter Note" focus on rolling 808s and pitch-bent synth work into the 140bpm environment.

"Unusual Entities" gets a heavy re-glitch from Gravitas' own Cryptex, taking a slightly more aggressive approach without losing structural integrity. Headtron's emissary Goldrush brings up the rear with a seductive take of "On a Brighter Note", focusing more on the lush intricacies of the original while keeping the bassline more restrained and tasteful.

ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : CADIK - RELAX REMIXES : CHI RECORDINGS

http://www.addictech.com/p/101668

Chi Recordings is back for a fresh exclusive, and establishes their place with a variety of bass music from Cadik! This four piece remix single is the forerunner of a series that intends to cover the complete Cadik catalogue on Chi Recordings.

'Relax' is taken from the album 'Travel Agency' that delivers a classic electronic hip-hop approach. The original track loosens up pure and banging beats, operating with playful melodies and warm analog sounds instead. All elements in fine balance with the rough voice of the wicked Dynamite MC.

Modul's remix turns up the heat of the hip-hop angles, tops it up with scratch and 8-bit layers, while showing off sleek glitch technique. The genre bender Dizko Stu remix steps up to a funky new level, with classy organ riffs, chased by freestyle bass rolls, leaving a slight taste of acid on the tongue. Closing it out proper is DJ Madd, taking us to a pleasingly static, somewhat creepy atmosphere in a dubstep fashion.

A great package from our favorite Hungarian label! Check it out!

ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : WHITEBEAR - FOREIGN BEINGS : ADAPTED RECORDS

http://www.addictech.com/p/98757

Adapted drops in with another exclusive, this time from Aussie producer Whitebear, and its a glorious affair of glitch!

With an affinity for objects coming to life and a growing desire to diversify his sound, 20-year old Arthur Song delves deep into new sonic territory. Infectiously tight glitches amass within rising waves of choral atmospheres, fueled forth by progressions of crunch-laden percussion. Coarse, granular bass tones awaken the potential of 'Facing the Mutant Microbe' as extrinsic synths phaser rapidly, signaling the presence of mutant forces. To which, equal forces exist to oppose.

As alien synths waver in growing anticipation, engaging atmospheres lie amongst intricate, spatial samples that zip and whir in rousing design. Crisp percussive foundations nourish deep lower frequencies into form, igniting 'Respect Your Machine'. Whitebear's ability to immerse listeners into depths of auditory expression, proving Foreign Beings to be an experience both danceable in nature and provocative in thought.

The first track, "What the Bleep" is a colossal Dubstep number with an 8bit twist. Backed up with some effectively crafted and topical vocal samples this tune is sure to get you jumping, so be prepared for a face warping bass drop. "Get Wavey" begins with a typically Snoop style melodic synth and 808 beat before crashing down like a tsunami enveloping all in its wake; the perfect tune to get “wavey” to on the dance floor.

The description is in the name for the closing track "Deadly Swagga". Sit back and chill out to Editor’s trademark dubs shining through once again, alongside a rattling sub bass line and watery samples taking you to a tropical glitch paradise.

ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : SPOONBILL - ASTRO ARCHIPELAGO : OMELETTE

http://www.addictech.com/p/98380

Renowned Melbourne beat-smith and sound designer Spoonbill, aka Jim Moynihan, is back from inter-galactic scavenging with a new 3-track EP of tropical steampunk electronica: Astro Archipelago.

It's a hyper-catchy digital amalgam of brass, keys, harmonica and guitar doing dirty things with synths and bass to make you shake your booty. Astro Archipelago features Spoonbill’s playful signature cut-up sound, with a galaxy of funky melody pushed to the fore.

The album originated from Jim's work with interactive games lab Current Circus, making dynamic compositions for their groundbreaking new virtual reality game Beat Booster. Players move their whole bodies to control their avatar that in turn creates mad futuristic beatscapes. On Astro Archipelago Jim takes those same sounds and turns the equation on its head: it's his mad futuristic beatscapes making bodies move on dance floors across the world.

The album kicks off on a small tropical island - think hang drums, palm trees, lapping water and a growing sense of an interstellar voyage. The tune increases thrust, until the whole island blasts off into outer space with an ecstatic scream. From there it’s a journey to new worlds of future funk and crunky bass with more than a passing nod to the heyday of sci-fi funk FX.

It’s Jethro Tull reincarnated in the body of C3PO. It’s Jabba the Hutt’s band playing Burning Man. It’s a joyous and quirky intergalactic broadcast from the future of both music and game design.

Another wicked exclusive from one of Australia's premier labels - Omelette Records!

ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : MR. BILL - FOCUS : ADAPTED RECORDS

http://www.addictech.com/p/98107

In a world where prolific is an adjective to describe far too many artists, Mr Bill is a textbook definition of the word.

Just when you thought you had a grasp of Mr. Bill's style, he pushes the envelope further into a vast, unpredictable, glitch fuelled territory. His latest release, "Focus", nudges that idea to a new frontier evoking a surplus of emotions and questions.

The release opens with "Balance", establishing a covert, sneaky vibe prior to hurling you into a warped world of audiological, fractured nourishment. "Router" is up next, which brings the release to an epic adventure of juicy proportions, delivering crisp 8-bit melodies with luscious spatial manipulation and sound design combined with roaring, jagged bass movements.  "Clarity" shows a very different aspect of Bill's production, delving into emotive, ambient melodies surpassing his previous work in this area. This concept is continued with "Blush", which combines serene melodies with intense, sharp glitches.  We then continue to the title track, "Focus", an evolving electronic amalgamation of funk and smooth jazz with tempo, style and bass progressions that support the journey. "Shatter" breaks the conventions of timing with intricate, percussive edits and stereo trickery that flows seamlessly. The release is concluded with "Tubes", a heavy dosage of atmospheric breaks with heavily manipulated vocals to finalize the release with both style and meaning.

From Bran Richards quirky and upbeat take on "Sloot", to Meat Axe's raw accelerated breaks onslaught, many areas are explored.
