Spanish Warriors

Due to a significant workload im going to keep this one short.
The Crystal Fighters have just released their second single which has been boucning around the blog scene over the past week. The heavy synth, brisk percussion and Spanish accent on the vocals has significantly individualized this Spanish band, putting together a little genre in itself, "Basque-tronica" as it has been referred to.
The recent remixes that have been compiled have been excellent, a lot more upbeat than the original. Personally these two in particular have been better than the original.

Fingers crossed for an album soon.
enjoi.

"solace lies in the sound"

Kris Menace isn't foreign to blogging world and has received a large amount of his support from online releases, mixtapes etc. Borderline veteran electronic producer Kris Menace aka Christophe Hoeffel has his own label ('Work It Baby') and tons of digging synth electro tunes in circulation. Along with collaborators such as Alan Braxe, Fred Falke and Lifelike he has produced some disco/electro-pop tunes that are soothing beats to the musically matured of us. Also to be recognised are his remixes - which i may even like more (maybe not). I shall let the light dreamy synths of Kris Menace and another alias of his Jaunt do the rest of the description.

Have a killer weekend all.

Halloween Skream

Excuse the belated Halloween post but my weekend took priority. So in recent time there has been a somewhat dub revolution - courtesy of names like Rusko, Foamo and Doorly. One of the artists who has also been ripping it up is Skream. This UK dubber has been a pioneer of the scene and claims to have 8000 dub variation songs under his belt. Most of you would know his work through his progressively wicked remix of La Roux's 'In For The Kill'. Pre and post this acclaimed mix he has shown true form in other mixes, singles and collabs. With his partner in dub crime - Benga, Skream will be opening 2010 with those dnb baselines and ripping beats at the Field Day festival. Enough said be sure to check out his other work (namely his La Roux remix) + any other substep if your up for a change.
