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!

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!

Kill the Noise - Kill Kill Kill EP

I heard Kill the Noise the first time when Feed Me put out his Big Adventure. But Kill the Noise has been around a lot longer, and the blasts from the past-tunes are a testament to his skill. Kill the Noise is definitely living up to his name. This new EP of his is some of the craziest stuff I've heard in a long time, some sincerely incredible songs. Insane dubstep and electro and even a drum & bass remix from KOAN mfkin' Sound (and it is completely mental as well). 


So many synonyms for psychological instabilities in that paragraph, it is what youtube comments do to your mind. According to Kill the Noise, a year without releasing any music was spent to make this EP, salutations for that. All to often EP's get churned out and contains 4-5 decent songs, but this one has 10 top quality tunes.


I would advise you to purchase this and show some love.
Hit dat Beatport link my friend.

Skrillex - Kill Everybody (KOAN Sound RMX)

Skrillex - Kill Everybody (KOAN Sound Remix) by KOAN Sound 


I was going to go to sleep, but then I found this. Holy shit! KOAN Sound never fails to surprise the fuck out of me. This is like, three different remixes of the same song, and none of them sound the same. 
KOAN Sound is one of my absolute favorite supplier of beats. Love, love, the hiphop influenced stuff. Up until 1.10 or so, it's like, dope. Then after that, jaw drop. 
Not sure what to say besides that, this song is incredible.

KOAN Sound!

Hiya folks!

This time I feel like showing you something that is a little hard to pinpoint what it really is.

The stuff that KOAN Sound makes, walks the line between a couple of different genres. They have the heavy half beat from Dubstep but it's all executed in around 100-110 bpm wich is more normal for hip hop and such!

Incredibly inspiring and awesome I must say!

First up is this killer track, that was discribed by one of my friends as "a dubstep version of Rage Against the Machine".

Second tune goes for a more smoother vibe but with some more work on the drums. Every last hit is amazingly well put in place and the overall feeling is really dreamy and groovy at the same time. Check it out!

Happy Hipsters by KOAN Sound

KOAN Sound's latest EP was dropped in late may, this year! "Max Out" EP is one of the most interesting releases so far this year and we, the crew of BASSPOLICE, are anxiously waiting for more!

If you want more of KOAN you should head over to their SoundCloud http://soundcloud.com/koan-sound!
