ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : AMB - STINGER/LOCO BOOGIE : SIMPLIFY RECORDINGS



One of our favorite producers who initially made his mark on the electrobreaks scene, AMB drops the tempo and joins the slow and low revolution! 

Delightfully glitchy, AMB excels at the side of production focused on the subtle and fine details. Grungy yet still incredibly unique bass-tones are interwoven with funky, insanely dynamic melodic progressions to create a crisp, crunchy flow that perfectly embodies what it means to be glitch-hop.

Focusing on pioneering, break-based arrangement and utterly next-level audio construction, AMB’s release with Simplify Recordings is an absolutely groundbreaking single that truly stretches the boundaries of what can be considered electronic dance music; pick up the album as an Addictech.com Exclusive!

ADDICTECH RECORDS PRESENTS : BIRDS OF PARADISE - ASCENDED BLASTERS EP


2011 was arguably the biggest year for bass music yet, with it reaching the mainstream with an infection known to all as Dubstep. This brought attention to the other forms of low frequency dance music, and the underground thrived with glitch and bass. Many artists came out of the woodwork to present their music to much larger audiences than ever before, with some following an agressive cookie cutter pattern and others forging a new path of original expression.

Two of the most prominent and unique artists to emerge were Bird of Prey and Gibson. Having a similar aesthetic but still maintaining individual approach, they combine forces in a new symbiotic project called Birds of Paradise! For the first release on the Addictech Records label in 2012 we bring you their "Ascended Blasters EP", and it more than meets the expectations that one would have for the hypermind of these two impressive artists. Turning away from the popular distorted direction, they entice your ears with quality production, creative songwriting, and full frequency soundsystem love.

In a world of creatively manipulated promotional propaganda, descriptive terms to hype up releases are overused and abused. The "Ascended Blasters EP" carries its weight without the need for this type of promotion.  Harvesting from the talents of both collaborators, the release gives you the intentional artistic output you would expect. A truly original sound of rolling percussive breakbeats, progressive melodies, incredible sound design and twisted psychedelic layers, it will take your ears only a moment to realize that you have uncovered something special. Taking no hints from current trends, Birds of Paradise deliver an epic vibration across all 4 tracks in the release that will transport you into a space on the dancefloor that is far too uncommon. In 2012 Addictech Records aims to release the most cutting edge bass music to the world, and we are proud to present this as our first release for the year!

Although this release is available at over 300 outlets, we encourage you to purchase from the Addictech.com store. We are very generous to our artists, and by purchasing from this site you support them directly.

Ratchet's first full length album is comin' in hot for early 2012, and will be the third release for Ooze System Recordings. Ooze System is an up and coming label from California, established by veteran producers of the underground West Coast EDM scene.

2012 will see more releases from this young audio sculptor, along with fresh releases from ReptilianBassStation, one of his many collaborative projects.

ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : JPOD - HALFSTEPPIN : SWING SET SOUNDS


Fresh on the West-Coast bass music scene comes JPOD (the beat chef) with his debut solo album, Halfsteppin. Boasting a chunky and clean production style, his music always endeavours to elevate the spirit and make you smile. This album is no exception, and we're rocking it as an Addictech.com Exclusive!

As an artist truly committed to maintaining movement and dynamism, JPOD intentionally distributed Halfsteppin across a wide variety of tempos. Uplifting melodic progressions, intricate textures and his ever-present bassic bounce are consistent throughout the release. JPOD's rhythm skills combine with the freshness of half-time drum patterns and organic swing to create a compelling character of sound. Halfsteppin is no short achievement, aiming to take you on a dynamic journey along the twists and turns of an audibly alluring adventure.

No stranger to music production, JPOD started in 1996 with a light-hearted and experimental approach. Quickly learning DJ and turntablism skills in 2000, JPOD was initially attracted to organic and bouncy hip-hop and funk music. He entered the club scene in 2004 and was instantly recognized for his trustworthy taste in eclectic songs and precise ability to mix them. From 2005 to the present he has played every year at BC's world-famous Shambhala Music Festival, proving his dedication to staying relevant in the industry. In 2006 JPOD fully embraced producing on a serious level. The combination of being a classically trained pianist and a tech-savvy computer programmer has enabled him to excel as a self-taught producer and sound designer. 2010 saw the creation of Swing Set Sounds, JPOD's colorful label.

Although JPOD comes from musical roots of funk and hip-hop, his production skills and fusion style are pushing him well into new territories of bass, glitch, melody and texture. Halfsteppin's debut is sure to garner attention from all open ears looking to hear something clean and fresh.
