Hitler hates Dubstep

This shit has gone viral in the last few hours and in internet-meme-time I'm actually probably slow on getting this up, BUT IT'S AWESOME. I love that Hitler represents the aging Burner orthodoxy, it's so antagonizing.

"You want to start a soundcamp?... We'll call it Trance Trance Revolution."




A few things- first of all, free music;

So I love Brackles. He's leading the charge towards left-field, brukked-up electronic music that doesn't suck in the way that 98% of IDM does. The stuff is rhythmically, tonally, and structurally unpredictable, totally weird and art-y, but still groove-y and FUN for the floor, which is the primary goal here, yah?


Here's his remix of Ellie Goulding, "Under the Sheets"



Here's another original Brackles tune that made its way out to free release somewhere on the internet. Choppy, surprising, and slightly dissonant, but without losing its immediate visceral appeal.


Brackles - Blo


These were released as promotion for the man's new mix CD, which you can check out here.


AND. We're huge fans of Ms. Dynamite over here at Mettle Detek, so since this was released yesterday we should all rejoice and watch it together. SHE IS TOO FUCKIN' FABULOUS and this tune is huge. Total dancefloor destroyer.

FREE REGGAETON!

I was watching the international little league tournament on ESPN yesterday and I saw some little Mexicans opening a can of whoop-ass on some little Boricuas so I decided to post up some super-theatrical dramatic Puerto Rican rap music in honor of their defeat. The video's here and the download link is below. I'm pretty sure most of our readers are going to dismiss this as overstated commercial garbage (which it is) but let's try to see the beauty in it, yah?? This track is called "No Me Dejo" by Genio & Baby Johnny with the help of an enormous hype crew.






Genio & Baby Johnny Ft. JKing, Guelo Star, Syko & Chyno Nyno - No Me Dejo


And to round out the free reggaeton session, here's some OLD SCHOOL ASS Brooklyn Reggaeton from MC Ceja, a track called Confusión from 1997, accompanied by a great club remix that updates the track a little bit, giving it overstated, dark gangster strings and synthesizers à la LUNY TUNES. YES THEY'RE 320S!! I like the older one 'cuz its kind of just
reggae en espanol, from before the genre really developed its own distinct vocabulary, but its also got kind of a 90's hip hop breakbeat edge to it. You can still hear the ragga in it.





Mc Ceja - Confusión

Confusion (Official Remix) (By Wisin1018)


Oh while we're on the reggae tip, here's a cool remix I did of the infamous dancehall anthem "Under Mi Sleng Teng," bringing it into 145 bpm booty house mode for all ur mazh up partiez.

We'll Bring You Up And Then Make You Want To Rip Out Your Eyes (Maluca / ℑ⊇≥◊≤⊆ℜ)

So, first off...

Maluca, one of the new golden figureheads of Mad Decent has just released a mixtape for free download on the label site. Produced by Oliver Twizt, Mumdance, Ruckazoid, Kevin Seaton, and mixed by Paul Devro, practically every track is refreshingly danceable and interesting. Genre-wise, it's all over the place culturally (mambo de calle shakes to vogue house rhythms) and temporally (old school "undergraund" style "dem bow" to the hip and twitchy production that we have grown used to from the Mad Decent clan). All in all, this complete indifference to actually charting literal historical connections between various types of bass music in exchange for demonstrating their tonal, rhythmic or vibal (yes, I just invented that word) relevance to each other in the all-available signifier web of the internet is a great example of the way the "global base" movement has completely rearranged and re-quantified popular music for us. I don't think DJ Playero would have seen something like this coming in 1995, that's all I'm saying.

p.s. both "China Food" and "Fourescent Beige" are off the hizzay!

Second, let me drag (pun intended) you down into hell for a second with the new Mishka-released "Zombie Rave" Witch House, Drag, whatever mix from ℑ⊇≥◊≤⊆ℜ. Get it here.

That's right, that's his name. But don't stress trying to figure out how to say it, just don that ankh necklace that you haven't worn since NIN was big, splash your Doc Martins with blood and listen to him ssllooww dooooowwwn some real dirty rave shit for you. I think it might be the closest you can come to knowing what a heroine overdose feels like without, well, overdosing on heroine.
Oh, and check out the label if you don't know what I'm talking about.
