- bass music over 2h/55m/05s - by nik! (hula honeys; zürich) & new.com (comfortnoise, dubexmachina; zürich) - video live streamed on friday april 13th 2012 over livebeats → full timecoded playlist (pdf)
nik! (hula honeys; zh – soundcloud, discogs) has found his very own style in electronic music. as dj and producer he loves to deal with heavy basslines by oscillating between tradition and innovation, crossing the vast fields of bass music, d’n’b, hiphop and reggae, back and forth. together with his mates soult and random bit generator he runs the label "hula honeys". their releases never serve actual trends but provide tracks that you have to discover and love by yourself. you meet nik! on all kind of national and international stages. what he actually favours are the secret places where people trustfully open their ears to the over and over astonishing blends that he performs. the same we do in comfortnoise podcast 028-0412.
- deep house - compiled & mixed by new.com (comfortnoise, dubexmachina; zh/switzerland) - total playing time: 2h/01m/51s (mp3/256kbs/225mb) - published in april 2012 on www.comfortnoise.com - hand crafted w/ 100% vinyl → tracklist (txt-file)
kryptic minds made this remix of loefah's classic "root" in late 2008. at this point they had already left the drum & bass-scene behind and had started producing music at 140 BPM, after having heard only a few dubstep tunes. developing their own sound involved experiments such as making a snare by hitting a stick against a tree and recording it on a mobile phone. their productions quickly caught youngsta's attention, who linked them up with loefah soon after, making way for their first release on swamp81. since then, they have established themselves among the most renowned artists of the dubstep scene. this collosal root vip is a good example of their incredible production skills and their distinctive sound, best described as: "deep dubstep with a deft understanding of the tensions and contradictions buried within it."
- juke & bass music over 2h/38m/02s - by hood regulators (global ghetto anthems, korsett; luzern) & new.com (comfortnoise, dubexmachina; zh) - video live streamed on friday march 2nd over livebeats → full timecoded playlist (pdf)
the entire movie of 027-0312 - watch them moving!
hood regulators (soundcloud, facebook, global ghetto anthems, korsett; luzern/switzerland) are a dj-combo with a comprehensive producer and promoter background. basically dedicated to the dancefloor, the constant renewal of their dj-crates lead them from different genres to everything contemporary in electronic music that includes a proper dose of bass. in comfortnoise podcast 027-0312 they present us what they currently discern as zeitgeisty and talk about their upcoming projects. you might foresee what this is about when you receive an impression of the guestlist of their own monthly clubnight called "global ghetto anthems": jackmaster, mosca, oneman, om unit, rustie and girl unit.
>>> check discogs' release details & chemical's prelistening service & boomkat's review: detroit/chicago's steven hitchell + rod modell mark 5 years of sub harmonic deep space explorations in the dub techno quadrants on 'altering illusions'. from a sprawling nebula of etheric sounds made as deepchord, variant, cv313, and intrusion, the duo have culled a rack of dubs, reworks and brand new material on this, their most substantial release since the now sought-after 12" trilogy on modern love. over four lps we're treated to 13 tracks of purified groove reductions made on vintage analog equipment, teasing out the infidelities of archaic equipment and blending with field recordings of paranormal activity in their signature style. the discs break down as so... disc 1 features four cv313 reworks, reprises and rewires of deepchord tracks, including their outstanding 'electromagnetic dowsing'. disc 2 includes an intrusion dub of 'infinit-1' and three other cloudy cv313 grooves. disc 3 you'll find intrusion's superb 'narcotic intake' of 'spatialdimension' - sounding as close as they've ever come to steppin' t++ styles and all the better for it - while on disc 4 the three variant tracks render their sound at its most diffuse and opiated. lush.
