Porter Robinson - The State (SkisM RMX)

I'm a huge Porter Robinson fan. What really got me listening to electro tech house etc in general was Say My Name (That and, you know, Feed Me). He's made this tune The State, which is currently unreleased. Or is it? Well, his version is at least. But SkisM's remix of it is released and it's el massivo de la muerte, or some shit like that.

I like how it's like a big blend of styles. Porter Robinsons' electro sound, and his sound when he haves a go at dubstep versus SkisM's own type of illin'. It's a cool song, with synths you might recognize and synths you might go "ah, that's new", about. 

Anyway, it's forthcoming the 13th september on OWSLA, which is some cool record label I guess.

Nero - Promises (Skrillex RMX)

Am I retarded for not knowing this was out? I think saying that would be an insult to retarded people. Also, while I'm already being offensive towards minorities, is it gay to think that the intro is beautiful? If so, count me in the gay club 'cus it totally is. Both the original and this remix is great, but this one just has the Skrillex swag to it you know! Always a bit more action on the drums when he's doing stuff, just like in Tomba's tunes. I'm totally a fan of big reverb snares and catchy high-pitched female vocals, so this song was a given feature.

You can pre-order the entire Promises EP by Nero here, featuring the original, Skrillex remix, Calvin Harris remix and another Nero track named New Life! The entire thing drops 7/8/2011!

Seriously, no offense to anyone with that first paragraph.

Crystal Clear & Stapleton - Levels (FuntCase Remix)

Yeah! New Funtcase remix of Crystal Clear & Stapleton - Levels. First time for featuring Funtcase on BASSPOLICE, but better late than never! The HADOUKEN made me happy, go Street Fighter, go! Them lyrics are quite funny if you listen in as well, and got that kinda lazy feel going. 

Great tune, get it, the original, and more @ this place!

Jonny L - Back To Your Roots (Quest Remix)

AH JEEZ! In ancient times, before man walked the earth, this damn song existed and flourished within the domains of Spotify. Now, for some reason, the song vanished a few months ago. Since I'm retarded I couldn't find it. But I managed now! I'll admit, it might not be the newest or the most exciting tune, buuut it's still one of those that really sticks. It's a good, but very long, and repetitive. It's wonderful for gaming, or anything that takes up most of your attention, great background music. I also think Noisia has a finger in the cake mix somewhere regarding this song, but idk rly.

Listen to how the vocals are on beat, the flow is pretty dope. 1-2-3-4 etc, although I must admit it sounds a bit bigger in the original 'cus there it's on the 4ths but in the Quest remix it's on the 8ths (this might be complete bullshit but I think it might be correct). A good song, by itself or when you're busy doing something, just shows that DnB can be very versatile yet follow a straight line and be repetitive (In a good way, not like all-radio-music kind of repetitive, suck a dick radio music).

WTF & Dead Prez - It's Bigger than Hip-Hop (Sidney Samson RMX)

I really don't think Sidney Samson needs an introduction. Even my grandmother has probably heard Riverside. Though saying that Riverside is Sidney Samson's only feat would be one of the most sincerely handicapped statements. He's been involved in the electronic music scen forever and made more bangers than I can count. His most prominent genre is house, but there seems to be a bunch of other influences in his music!

The "original" dubstep version of this song was something I first heard in the '010 Shambhala mix by Excision, and mostly it was just a short nugget at the end, but a good one. I had to reason for a while before deciding which song to feature, but I realized just now that I could put 200 songs about penguins in this post if I damn well wanted to. So I'm going to add the dubstep version as well.  Fuck the police.

BASSPOLICE extends it's concern towards Norway and the people caught up in the events there, and so should you!

Figure, double time.

Waddup, I know you like Figure, and so do I. So naturally, here's some figure.

Defunct! Feat Mc Loc E & Girl And A Gun - We Are The Party (Figure Remix) OUT NOW! by Figure

Release 11 days ago? Damn I'm late. I ain't even mad tho 'cuz this is good stuff. The intro to this tune is really giving me a Porter Robinson feeling, haven't heard the original so can't tell if it goes on behalf of Figure or the original creators, or if it's even intended in the first place. We will never know... dun dun. After dropping it swings the house swing, but since it's a Figure song, things are happening all the time and all of the sudden it's drumstep for a little while. I think.
Buy Figure's remix, and others, here !

Dr.Dre - Keep Their Heads Ringin (Figure Drumstep Bootleg) Clip/DL LINK IN INFO by Figure

Another Figure Old-School-Hip-Hop-Bootleg? Yeeeee good times. The sample doesn't give it full credit though, but it sure shows a fair bit of what you can expect! This tune is a free download, which is never frowned upon. You can get it from Figure's brand new website, along with other freebies, here!
  
Big ups!

Calvin Harris - Feel So Close x2 Remixes

Gotta admit, seen the @DILLONFRANCIS tag on twitter quite a lot, but I'ma lazy twitterer(?) so took some time before I actually checked it out. Found this remix on what I'm guessing is his blog. I really liked this remix, it's very crisp and the lead is pretty unique. Though I'm wondering, is this what they call "moombathon"? Even with all the fuss, I haven't taken the time to check up on any moombah ting type music, so I have no idea.

Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for this guy, good stuff indeed!

Yessirrr, there was a Nero remix too! Feels a little more up-tempo in the intro, and kicks it with signature Nero dubstep after the obligatory 0:55 mark. Real good actually! Which ever of the remix is the best you'll have to decide for yourselves!

The whole package drops the 22th of August, and you can pre-order it here 

Apple don't think this means I don't hate you anymore. I still hate you Apple, hope you choke on your over-priced laptops one day!

Fytch & Captain Crunch 'Raindrops' ft Carmen Forbes (Tomba Remix) by Buygore

I've already posted this, I know, but you might remember that douche who cock-blocked the entire song with his talking? This preview has no talking, whoop! My original review still stands, this is incredible. If the song had a 'buy' button (or if I had any money) I'd be buying it instantly!

There's a few more versions of Raindrops along with the original @ Buygore's Soundcloud so go check that out! Don't feel like writing anymore 'cus I've never been this hungover in my life.

Meaux Green feat. Whiskey Pete - On The Dancefloor (Dj Exodus & Leewise VS ReepR Remix)

Was klicking around a bit, on Soundcloud ,the other day and ended up at Funkk Sound Recordings. I concider myself a lucky man, finding this label and some amazing artists! 

The tune that interested me the most, has one of the longest track names I have laid my eyes upon, but DAYUM what a banger!

Meaux Green feat. Whiskey Pete - On The Dancefloor (Dj Exodus & Leewise VS ReepR Remix) *OUT NOW* by Funkk Sound Recordings

This is a preview version of the full track, but wow this shows some potential. The way that it drops is so smooth that you can hardly see it coming and it doesn't stop being amazing there! Couldn't stand, not knowing what else this tune had to offer, so I downloaded it at Beatport immediately! Totally using this in my DJ set!

Check it out fellow Bass lovers!

Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400 (Raspian Dubstep Remix)

 Yo! Here's some quick tunage for the evening. Not to diminish the awesomeness of this song though, or anything. You've heard the original Zombie Nation right? I mean, if you haven't... well... why are you the only person still living in the 1870's? Assuming you have heard the original, you're already down with the fact that it's classic. I think this remix gives the original justice, but in dubstep fashion. Drop numero dos is great, the snare build-up is awesome and gives me some Major Lazer vibes. Then comes the drumstep (is it drumstep? lets call it drumstep) and it's massive!

It's quite an old tune, but I'm still digging it big time, way to go Raspian.

EDIT:
RUPTURE [PREVIEW] by Raspian

Oh and he also uploaded this preview, like 30 minutes ago. It was quite nice actually, think the full tune will be a big one!

Fytch & Captain Crunch - Raindrops (Tomba RMX Preview)

Right of the bat, YES I AGREE THE TALKING GUYS IS ANNOYING! I was getting pumped, ready to go wild, then he's like WADDUP GUYZ U LIEK DIS SONG HURRKADERRP - by god, if you're going to promote, do it at the beginning please. Anywayyyy, this song is CRAZY. People might say there's Skrillex influence in this tune but, nah, maybe because of those reverse vocals but, Tomba > Skrillex any day in my book, and crazy action-packed synth work and drumage really is more of a Tomba sound than anything. (no offence Skrillex!)

Love the synth work, and the smooth high-pitched one that's in the background at times, with the subtle vibrato, OHLORD!?1 Out in July @ buygore. 

Tomba you're awesome.

Doctor P - Tetris

Is this post late? Yes. Do we give a shit? Well, not really. Our post about the Tetris release date has brought pretty large amount of viewers to our blog actually, so you might've expected us to have been right on the ball with this song. Anyways, here's the post. If you hadn't heard the complete version before, sit back and enjoy, because it's uh, what's the term? Filthy as fuck? Yes that's the one, thanks. Love the work with the crispy Tetris original synth, and how it's woven into the main chorus portion as well, awesome.

You can buy it from Juno download here and it's also available from iTunes but apple can suck it.

Borgore - Money (Cop Dickie Remix) ((and some lame news))

Borgore had a remix contest a long time ago, and the song s'posed to be remixed was "Money". Now I don't know if this won but I know it was in the finals or something like that, but it was certainly worthy of a win. Great remix, bet Borgore is proud!

To the bad news, my internet will be down for a while, I'm currently writing this on a homies computer. There's a really slim chance it will be back by tomorrow but best bet would be monday earliest and thursday as the latest. Let's hope Isidor can put up some great songs in the mean time!

DOWNLINK o.o

Today, another monster was released from the cage of Downlink!

 This beast was dropped, not on Rottun this time, but on MalLabel Music.

Fresh is one of the words, that comes to mind when I listen to this tune. It gives me that "new era" of dubstep feel, with the rock hard wobbles that remind me of Excision.

I couldn't find a way to embed the tune, so you will have to check it out on Beatport.

If you like it, make sure to support Downlink and pick up a copy!

(but I found this weird-as-hell remix of it)

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!

Noisia & Foreign Beggars - Contact (Noisia Remix)

Noisia & Foreign Beggars - Contact (Noisia Remix) by NOISIA

 Noisia's pretty damn beastly. They've got so many great songs, it's amazing how they manage to come up with that much good material. The drum work is always original and it feels very alive and multi-dimensional. We love them here at BASSPOLICE and they're certainly my personal fave when it comes to DnB. 

They've got a fair share of tunes together with the lads in Foreign Beggars, most notable is perhaps Shellshock, which is awesome. Contact is also a tune they made together for the Foreign Beggars album "United Colors of Beggatron" and this is Noisia's remixed version of it, focusing a bit less on the vocals and making it into just pure DnB dopeness. It's got a slower, more funky intro featuring the signature Noisia synth work and later unleashing into DnB mayhem (love the hollow snare!).

It's available for purchase here

Deadmau5 - Raise Your Weapon (Madeon Extended Remix)

Everyone who loves Deadmau5's, raise your hand! Ok so everyone raised their hands, great.

When Deadmau5 released his 4x4=12 album, I didn't listen to much else than the continuous mix for about a week or so. It's simply an awesome prog house album.

I must admit I haven't really been searching hard for any remixes of Deadmau5 songs, but I stumbled over this today and it instantly struck me as a tune worthy of a feature. Can't say I've heard anything by Madeon before, but I'm likely to be checking out his stuff after hearing this banger!
