Dans Dakar 2014, 8-9 August!

Dans Dakar 2013 was a great experience. Me and four friends went out to Stockholm, slept in a small Volvo for two days, laughed, sweated, drink drank drunk and foremost - jammed out (went nuts) to some great artists.

I had tons of great things to say about The Prodigy before I saw them live, but man, their performance was at least in the top three best shows I've seen (heard). Smack My Bitch Up is perhaps not my favorite song of theirs, but it was amazing live since everybody knows it and the whole crowd went wild.

It was a great show from Kill The Noise as well, he really got the crowd going and did some sick stuff that proved DJ'ing definitely isn't dead. It was the second time I saw KOAN Sound, and I think they outdid themselves compared to the first time I catched them, super funky. Biggest disappointment was the very un-involved Justice, who "gracefully" "blessed" the festival-goers with as many as five arm-waves and a few nods.

This year should be sick too. I am very hyped to catch Skrillex for the first time. Skrillex latest release was very fresh and definitely an interesting, great album. Zedd, while not my usual cup of tea is an artist that I think will shine in a live setting, his music is built for an audience.
Glitch Mob I am sure can introduce a very groovy feel, they might very well prove for an interesting interaction with the audience as well!
Although Die Antwoord is a group I've tried and failed to get into, they sure have a big fanbase and are bound to bring lots of die-hard fans to the festival.

All in all, Dans Dakar is for sure worth the cost of a ticket, and should most likely prove to be an exciting experience in 2014 as well. Go there to catch the mentioned artists and MANY more!

Nero - Welcome To Reality (Album Mix)

Well, that's convenient. An exclusive mix of Nero's new album Welcome Reality! It's the first release on UKF's new youtube channel for mixes. Nero really has an own sound when it comes to making dubstep. It's more of the melodic kind, a bit less "BRRRRRR" and more "mmmh, so smooth". People argue all the time that figures such as Nero has "sold out", but I say fuck that. Listen to this mix, isn't it good? Yes it is! Does it matter if someone can make money from making good music? No it doesn't. (I want my own arcade game too)

Innocence is probably my favorite track from Nero, it's great, but it's tough to match Promises as well. Someone said they liked it until 'Crush On You' started? 'Crush On You' is fucking great, man. So is Must Be The Feeling, sounds like Justice for christ sake, how is that not cool? Lovely mix, good times, buy the album, complain less. Also, if you check out that link, you'll see that there's a shitload more songs on the album, so, yeah, buy it.

PROMISESSSSSS, AND THEY STILL FEEL OOO' SO WASTED ON MYSEEEELF

ELECTRO THURSDAY

 So, the other half of the BASSPOLICE department was actually going to write this post, since I don't really know much about electro. But he went AWOL, and we promised an electro thursday.

 Here's the song he had in mind, Dskotek - Mega Man, all I can really tell you about s that it's pretty much brand new and very groovy! I quite like this one actually, it's got a neat Porter Robinson feel to it!

The second song will be the electro song I chose. Now I know it's actually like, 8bit, but fuck that, the original is electro and that one is awesome too. It's Justice- Phantom Pt. II (WNB ELECTROFAEC COVER) and I'm sorry that I can't actually imbed it in the page, you'll have to click the link!
