BASSPOLICE II: BASSERECTION

HI FANS
After a lot of fucking hassle, Virgin finally decided it was time to give me internet. 
I've missed so many tunes, but also had the time and opportunity to drink many many beers and meet lots of Northern Irish people!

First offfff, a tune featuring one of my absolute faves, Feed Me! Hadouken & him sincerely tear drumstep a new one here. Huge atmospheric synths, fucking beast mechanical synths, lovely vocals. It's got it all. Couldn't think of a better way to start my first BP post in ages. Feed Me can have my children if he wants to. 


Live at the Village, Shambhala 2011 by bensamples


Secondly we've got another one of my faves, probably one of your faves as well. You've all read the BP interview with Samples already (I hope you have ;@). Here comes his Shambhala 2011 mix, packed with so many great songs, unreleased ones and classics alike. Samples truly shows he's awesome by doing a 1 hour long mix with songs that are either his, or remixed by him. Like a chieftain. 
Get that free download and get jiggy with it.

Last up, we've got this HARD ass song, lawd have mercy. Document One goes completely mental up in this. It feels good to come back from a life devoid of internet connection and have something like this waiting for you. I can't find any info regarding it, but the vocals sound like Foreign Beggars to me. Though I think it would've probably have gotten written somewhere, since the cover says feat. Maksim, it might be him? Got no idea to be honest.
Love the reverb on those drums, whaddup sound engineering. Gonna be available to buy on Buygore fairly soon, so stay ready.

Excision - X-Rated

BADABING BADABAAAM! Excision album mmh yeee. Every year at this time it's like, "gimme Excision's Shambhala mix now please". Well people, I guess this year we got an album. At first I took a listen to Sleepless and X-Rated. Those two songs weren't really what I expected from Excision. But I took a second swing at the entire album and I've got the say it's pro's greatly outweigh some, in retrospect, minor cons. 

Ohhh Nooo is great, Excision really shows he can whip up some mean electro bangers if he has too. The collab with SkisM is awesome, and SkisM's personal sound really shines through. Some of the tunes you might've heard before, from an Excision mix or something like that, so now you can get the full versions, yay!

The album is out now on Deadmau5's label Mau5trap, so go grab it on Beatport through dis link yo.

Glitch Hop Spotlight: Ben Samples !

As you might've noticed by now, I'm a glitch hop fan, so sue me. For some reason it seems like a kinda obscure genre that mostly Canadians seem to be proficient at, but frankly I haven't found any other electronic genre that comes with this much swag.

Two of my favourites, I've already featured, namely Squincy Jones and Subvert. Today I figured it was time to feature the #1 on my top 3 list of fave glitch hoppers, Ben Samples!

Back in Blaque (Samples Remix) by bensamples

This is a new tune from June 7th that I discovered on a trip to GHF today. I mean, come on, right off the bat, that guitar sound? Oh lawd. Now I don't know if it's a synth or live guitar, but either way it's CRISP. After that you've got the whole groove section with the funky bass, then awesome Brian Johnson vocals. 80's rock, fuck yes.

Def Leppard - Women (Samples Deathmix) by bensamples

An older tune, that I heard for the first time back in January or so, on the F2D Cali Grassroots mix. Fresh2Death is a DJ duo featuring Fisk and Samples btw, if you cared. Anyway, this song has the same awesomely crisp guitar sounds, but it feels a bit more action packed. Love how you can hear the bassline work at around the 2.15 mark. This whole old school rock mixing really is dope.

BOSS! by bensamples

THIS ONE! Seriously this song is so bad ass. This proves the statement I made at the top by 110%. You won't find this swag anywhere else. I heard this song the first time on Subverts Shambhala 2010 mix if I'm not mistaken. At that time I did not know about glitch hop or Samples, and the name of this song wasn't present in the track list. It just so happened that I found the link to GHF while looking for the Tin Can Telephone cantina RMX, and the rest is history my friends.

Enjoy this post for a while 'cuz I'll likely not have time to post more than once tomorrow! Put your faith in Isidor. ;D

Excision & DatsiK - Swagga (Remix Mashup)

This one gets me everytime. I'm always like yeah, listening to the beginning, then I go "hey this is just like the original", then it just happens, the swagga does a 180 and it's just like, wat. Basically it's a mashup of remixes featured on Excisions Shambhala 2010 mix, and the song/clips/whatever is ripped from there. The original Swagga is an iconic dubstep song and everyone knows it, but this remix just makes it evolve to Charizard if you catch my drift. 

We usually refer to this tune as Reverse Swagga 'cuz that's what it feels like.

Love it!

This shit's glitchin' like light sabers n AT-AT's yo

GHF Remix competition by glitchhopforum

Massive! This is kinda old as fuck, but last year Glitch Hop Forum (a site which I frequent, good stuff!) had a contest together with Shambhala, the huge ass music festival, you guys might be familiar with Excision's annual Shambhala mixes for example. The contest was about making a Star Wars glitchremix for some reason and yadda yadda I don't know all the details.

Anyhooo, great songs! My three favourites would be Tin Can Telephone, Jay Wikid and Vinja's entries, but man they're all juicy! Take some time and listen to all of those bad boys.
