KOAN Sound & Asa - Tetsuo's Redemption
Just posting the full version of my favorite tune from the KOAN Sound & Asa EP. Say what you will about spiritual relaxation music, but I prefer this stuff.

RAMsterdam Drum & Bass 2013
RAMsterdam 2013 is a marvelous 15-track release from RAM Records, featuring d&b from many artists you are probably familiar with, and possibly some new names as well. Lots of different approaches and sounds to be found here, from more 'laid back' and liquid old-school type d&b to the newer, more in-your-face and more futuristic approach.
A few of the tracks became my favorites of course. Number one would be the embedded track, "Bluescreens" from Strike One. I don't really have to say much about it, put on a pair of headphones, crank up the volume and listen closely!
Really liked "Warrior" by Loadstar as well, with a classic break approach, I feel it being similar to "Shellshock" which is a good thing indeed.
If squares and hectic melodies are your thing, you'll probably also like "Let The Story Begin" by Sub Focus, I sure did.
So if you're looking for some great drum and bass, from artists you can trust to deliver (Noisia, Wilkinson, Loadstar, Calyx & TeeBee amongst others) but also try something new, I definitely recommend getting this album for the handful of dollars that it would cost you.
Get it here!

Figure - Monsters Vol. 4
Halloween is coming up once again. Personally I really like this time of the year, the weather, the parties, wearing entertaining costumes and, of course, watching horror movies.
Figure is once again back with a cavalcade of horror music, 'tis the season indeed. A strong release according to me, a more well rounded sound (but still iconic) and with a touch of musical development showing from Figure. It is also lifted by some of the featured artists, most prominent in 'Center of Hell'.
The favorites that stuck out to me would be 'The Crypt' and 'The Devil', two very intense but also not too high-pitch reliant tunes.
Get 'Monsters Vol. 4' here!
Happy Halloween y'all.

KOAN Sound & Asa - Sanctuary EP [Preview]
Excited about this one! An EP from KOAN Sound and Asa, which seems to blend styles very well. Beautiful melodies and intricate glitch breaks intertwined. 'This Time Around' sounds promising to me, and I am wondering if 'Fuego' is a nod towards Dresden Files? 'Tetsuo's Redemption' surely has me hyped as well, 22nd October will be something to look forward to.
You can pre-order Sanctuary via this link!

Diplo - Revolution EP
I think Diplo can sometimes swing real wide (which is positive and brave), and sometimes miss by a degree or two, but there are some hits in this release for sure. Really digging Biggie Bounce overall. The vocals on Revolution are great but the full-on trap section is no ground breaker To me, Crown could use some shaved high-pitch, besides that it's a huge tune.
Rock Steady, well, Action Bronson is the man. Some really good sections in the Boaz van de Beatz remix of Revolution, and TWRK's remix was an alright complement to Biggie Bounce.
Buy this EP on Beatport here!

I Am Legion (Noisia & Foreign Beggars) - Album Released!
Finally it is here, the long awaited album by I Am Legion, the super-collab group featuring Noisia and Foreign Beggars. Maybe it became silly to name stuff "Noisia feat. Foreign Beggars" so many times that they decided to make a band? I don't know, it was a great move however.
The first single was really something, 'Make Those Move'. I wasn't too riled up by 'Choosing For You', but interesting to hear some new ground being broken. The full effect of I Am Legion is very heavy in any case, and there's plenty to go around with 16 tracks on this album. Sunken Submarines and Warp Speed Thuggin' are my favorites for now!
Get on Amazon, Beatport or listen on Spotify!
Also remember to check out the BASSPOLICE Spotify playlist!
I find it fitting for this to be the 200th BASSPOLICE in some ways. No copyright infringement intended. All cred goes to the respective authors and labels, as they should!

Belzebass - Under Torture feat. Justrock
Very cool and menacing tune. Perhaps not perfect but at least a step in another direction than so much other stuff. Always liking the metal vibe. I think this is like, hellectro? Hellstep? Heavy Metalectro? Whatever.

Frankee - Wonderland/Black Heart
Some really interesting music today. Fresh DnB with lofty melodies and signature breaks. I liked this since it felt both very new but also very classic. It's featured on a release out on RAM Records, from the newly signed artist Frankee. Containing two tunes, Wonderland and Black Heart. Personally my favorite is Black Heart, because of it's harsher groove and distinct vibes reminiscent of Noisia!

Dirtyphonics - Irreverence [Album Preview]
Well shit, an entire album preview? It is a nice thing when artists do these kind of things. I'm a fan of Dirtyphonics, they bring out interesting stuff on the regular in many different genres but still maintaining a signature sound.
This release contains some stuff you might've heard and liked already, such as DIRTY and Walk in the Fire.
The collab tunes with Aoki and Modestep weren't my cup of tea really, but the Modestep vocals were great as always. The one feat. Foreign Beggars was a notch above, slightly unique if nothing else.
BUY THIS ALBUM Y'ALL

Houcemate x The Ninteys - Overture
Not a perfect tune perhaps, but I still like it a lot. A different twist on trap as well, more melodic, it's nice to hear.

Siriusmo - Itchy
Sirisumo is great, and this song is great. I don't know how any mortal could achieve such a deep bass thump, but I have a creeping suspicion that Siriusmo might not be a mortal after all...

BUKEZ FINEZT - DISHES
Stumbled upon this trap joint. Groovy, very. I like the simplicity of it. Some confident stuff from an artist that is new to me, but I will surely keep an eye on this here Bukez.

I AM LEGION - Make Those Move [Noisia x Foreign Beggars]
Oh wow so, I don't know why I waited before listening to this. Noisia and Foreign Beggars taking their usual collab and takes it one step further by placing a name on it. Really like the moombah/hip-hop feel with some rock inspired riff-runs. Vocals are a bit strange in some sections according to me but such is life.
This bomb of a tune will be available 15th July, and entire album in September. I can't wait.

Nadastrom (and Skrillex?) - I!!
When I saw Feed Me last year, he played this tune, and it stuck with me. I could not identify it however, and not until I heard it in this new mix from Kennedy Jones, did I hear it again. Thankfully, the tracklist was present! An old tune by now, but fresh to me. Blast this on your summer adventures!

DIESELBOY - BEYOND THE BLACK BASSLINE
If you like drum and bass, this is the mix for you. If you don't like drum and bass, well, what kind of monster are you?
We have already enjoy two previous mixes from Dieselboy, namely "Wake The Dead" as well as "Unleashed!" and this mix is no different from them in the sense that it does not compromise. Be prepare for some unheard stuff, great mixing and a continuously hard punch.
Download it here and put it on a cassette tape for your grandmother.

Jay Z - Dirt Off Your Shoulder (Brillz & Z Trip RMX)
If you feelin' like a pimp, have a listen to this remix from Brillz and Z Trip. Not a lot of good or interesting trap being made really, according to me, but this feels fresh. Nail on the head etc. Nice use of vocal melodies, and the tune has managed the "gangsta" vibe that I think is essential to trap.
It's featured in this mix called "Trap Nation", full of exclusive trap remixes, courtesy of "Life+Times". Take a listen to that in its entirety here.

CYBERPUNKERS - Whatta Mask EP
CYBERPUNKS, a duo consisting of two masked DJ's from Italy, released a new EP just recently. It consists of three songs, all quite different from each other. My favorite was the one that I embedded here, "Mad Armada". A really uplifting track, nice arps and filtering action and also a cool breakdown section!
I liked the title track "Whatta Mask" as well, it was more aggressive and had a nice drive to it, reminded me of something off of "Invaders Must Die". Ogre's Ballad was a hit and miss I'd say, some lazy synths mixed in there, I think complextro has been laid to rest by now anyway.
All in all, a nice and well-produced EP for a modest price! Get it here.

Zardonic & Voicians - Bring Back The Glory (210 Edit)
Fast paced, intense, supersonic, high velocity, [more synonyms for speediness here]. Where Zardonic is involved, ultra energetic music is pretty sure to follow. This one is another cool example, with rash vocals cursing at you, alarm sounding synths and a really prominent hollow-point snare.
Zardonic & Voicians did a good job on this one!
Nicely enough, it is also a free download, so get it here.

FuntCase - Out For Da Milli
An interesting tune from FuntCase. Got excited for this one after hearing it in Bro Safari's ULTRA mix. FuntCase has his own sound for sure, which I appreciate. I saw him perform live like one or two years ago and it was one of the best shows I've ever attended.
You can pre-order this beast right hear.

Major Lazer - Free The Universe
Major Lazer's new album. I like this album, there are loads of songs, different artists featured on every one of them. Loads of chefs for many soups, with the Major Lazer production-quality-experience. No remixes, which to me is a good move.
I really liked the track Get Free. To be honest, the tracks that stuck with me the most were the calmer ones. However, Watch Out For This and Jah No Partial are some really uptempo joints that I quite liked as well. Will be listening to this many times!
You can buy Free the Universe on iTunes and you can listen to it in it's entirety on Spotify.

Public Service Announcement
Maybe you've noticed the decline in posts, maybe you just googled "skrillex mediafire dubstep download" and ended up here.
Anyway, I have a short statement. I think the decline in the quality of electronic music has been quite obvious during the last year, and this year (the kind of electronic music I generally post(ed) here, at least). Therefore, I might have to start being a bit more critical instead of mostly positive, because I cannot sincerely call everything "great", "awesome, "da bomb", when it obviously isn't.
Hopefully, with more honesty, and a bit more time spent, we can get back to a good post ratio, and even garner some interest from hater-haters or something. What I write will, as usual, be my opinions, so if you don't agree with what's written, that is more your problem than mine!
Obviously, there are still people producing golden stuff, if you are one of those, don't worry.
Wish y'all the best of luck, and that we will see some good times together in the future!

Showtek & Noisecontrollers - Get Loose [Preview]
An preview for a song that sounds pretty damn great. Seeing more and more of these kinds of hardstyle influenced tracks (mainly in the kicks tho), maybe we have KTN and Flosstradamus to thank for that. This tune gives me some KTN vibes at least.
I liked it up until the second drop, then it got kinda cluttered with a bunch of synths and effects that weren't really all that. But each to his own. Keep your eyes peeled for the full release of this song, which should be tomorrow!

The Upbeats - Alone EP [Out April 15th]
A new, great, EP from The Upbeats. Interesting stuff, ranging from mellow to intense, mainly d&b but other noticeable influences as well! A nice opening tune featuring Tasha Baxter (who did a great job on Feed Me - Cloudburn) and also a rough-in-the-jungle tune feat. Noisia!
A free download is available for the Noisia collab song, here.
Nicely enough, the EP is currently there in its entirety, but will be released for sale on April 15th!

Bro Safari - The Drop + Kreayshawn - Go Hard (Valentino Khan RMX)
Awesome free release from Bro Safari today. He's on another level constantly, definitely a favorite!
For some reason I couldn't copy the download link so you'll have to download it via the SoundCloud page!
I don't know why I have not posted this here yet. It started auto-playing and it reminded me that I should've done it a long time ago since it's a great remix. Consider it a bonus or something.
A boner-bonus.
thank you everybody for coming to the comedy show you have all been amazing

Valentino Khan - The Dip
Here's a free one from Valentino Khan. Lately he's been dropping a trap tune every Thursday, to commemorate what I assume is his own creation, "Trap Thursdays". Yes, yes, I know, it's Friday today, but whatever. The theme of this song fits a Friday better anyway. Get out there and get at dat dere dip.

Munchi - Vol. I: Skulltrap
Some seriously rough and redonculous music from Munchi. 4 songs filled to the brim with intensity, breaks and madness. I really like this kind of electronic music, and I think there needs to be more of it.

Sidney Samson - Get Low (Kennedy Jones RMX) | Kennedy Jones - Tutch Drap
This is a great remix. Quality trap indeed. From the other tunes I heard, I'm sure Kennedy Jones will be a name that's going to be getting a lot more attention.
Free download with a Facebook like!
Adding this one as well, since I thought it was a real smooth tune!
I'm starting to wonder if I've sustained some brain damage, since I can't listen to trap without wondering when it's going to say "damn son, where'd you find this?".

Interesting BPM choice for this tune, dipping into the moombahton range but with electro house oriented beats!

Savant - Alchemist [Album]
I received an email from the great people over at FiXT Publicity (FIGURE, Celldweller & more). It was a promotional request for this album, by Savant. Now, I had heard the name Savant before, but never actually listened to any of the music associated with the name.
The 3rd song on the album, Sledgehammer, was the first song I heard, and that song coupled with the interesting bio, made me decide upon a review. However, I do realize that this is some next level stuff, and I might not be qualified to judge the quality of music overall, but hell, sue me, y'all.
Not sure where to begin with this. Many times, an album/EP features one dubstep track, one moombah track, etc. But with 22 tracks, and most of them intertwining genres to create something that I have no label for, Alchemist is definitely one of the most diverse "EDM" releases I've ever heard. Wide range of different BPMs, dubstep, trap, electro house, classical interludes, the whole array.
Savant - Sledgehammer by Aleksander Vinter
The aforementioned song, Sledgehammer, is a favorite from the album. Electric organ intro that sounds real niche, and some great high, twisting synths in a "drop" that sure goes hard in the paint. Also features an unexpected transition into some interesting moombahton type groove. Chances are, you've never heard something like this before.
I listened to this album a handful of times over the course of a week or so, trying to get a feel for each song, since there's so many of them. I decided that the best course of action for this post would be to simply choose the two tracks that, to me, stood out the most.
For song number two, I had to go with this one, Fat Cat Shuffle. Opens with an intro that sounds like a cross between Bossa Nova and Donkey Kong, quickly turning over to some intricate bass work. I think Savant's production skills really shine here, so many great sounds, together and on their own as well. At the two minute mark, twangy LFO bass galore! Definitely like the feel of this song.
Anyway, I think you should listen to the entire album and make your own opinion. It's freely available to stream, but if it appeals to you, I think you should purchase it, since a lot of time has gone into Alchemist, I am sure.
Summary of my opinions:
Pros: Great diversity, awesome sounds, huge tracklist, some really unique stuff.
Cons: The mixing lacked somewhat at times, a few tracks got (slightly) muddy in certain parts, but overall, not really an issue.
I know this is late, since the album was released Dec. 12, but I haven't really been able to find the time for this up until now.
Expect a lot more from BASSPOLICE this year though, I'll be putting in more time to feature more content, and work on some connections to maybe get some exclusive stuff on here.
