Best of the Week: 07/04/2010



When it gets loud and dirty then you need the right weapons for battle. So this week we celebrate making a racket for the dancefloor, with bass meltdowns, sonic extremities, and some damn good electronic music, right here for you to bang your head to, and rub up on ya bassbinz.

This cut from German duo Booka Shade harks back to their original blueprint; warm pads and deep tech-house rhythms, losing the substandard vocals that marred much of their ‘The Sun & the Neon Light’ LP/Booka Shade-Buffer Ruffer

When it comes to noisy bass fueled rave music, Herve has set the standard with releases on Dubsided and Cheap Thrills, and this epic new school monster is no exception, being a cut above the usual fodder associated with this sound. Available on the ‘Zombies’ EP/Herve-Hot Drum Attack

More of same, but when the same is Hot City, then bring it on. This release for Fabric displays the 2-step beats and electro bleeps we’ve become familiar with, and that you should familiarize yourself with if you haven’t already/Hot City-If That’s How I Feel

The perfect tune for those feeling a little hazy at 3am on a Saturday, Italian DJ Riva Starr is making killer tracks like this for breakfast right now, and this remix from Leeds producer Harry Benson accentuates the peak time goodness a little bit more/Riva Starr-I Was Drunk (Harry Benson remix)

Some truly bizarre warehouse rave music from Headhunter, whose dubstep has been a feature of Tempa Records and the Bristol scene for some time, this is a stunning new direction that sounds like a drugged up chipmunk let lose in a make shift studio for an allnighter/Addison Groove-Dumbshit

Bordering on the ridiculous, this gypsy sampling piece of techno mayhem from Sebastian Leger isn’t the most subtle tune, but if you need to make a big room go crazy then this is the track to do it with. Superb production and the appropriate arrangement make this a perfect party potion/Sebastian Leger-Balkanmaniac


These tracks are listed for promotional purposes. Support the artists at these great stores-Picadilly, Bleep, Rush Hour, Conch and Samurai.
