Coming Attractions: What October Has Left To Offer

As we get closer and closer to the end of 2012, many of dance music’s biggest names are pushing to get out quality tracks to close out the year with. They’ve spent weeks upon weeks touring all around the world, but in the mean time have been working in between shows to create the awesome tracks that fans recognize them by. We’ve got plenty of EDM big shots looking to push some big productions out this month, and here’s what is in store for just this week!

Figure — Monsters, Volume 3

Bassnectar — Freestyle EP

Seven Lions — Days To Come

Dada Life — The Rules of Dada

Some big names on that list! Figure is coming back with some hardcore bass music as he returns just in time for Halloween with his Monsters series! Bassnectar drops his Freestyle EP to compliment his tour and his mixtape from last week, which in case you missed it, we posted it here for you guys so you can gear up for the EP. Here’s a track from the mixtape also as a little bonus!

Zion I – Human Being (Bassnectar Edit)

We also had one of our other writers do a look into what to expect from the Seven Lions EP here, which looks to highlight their signature dubstep style. Finally, we have some house music in the form of our friends Dada Life. This is a full album, containing much of their previous hit singles, along with plenty of new material for fans to enjoy!

Robotic Pirate Monkey Releases Single Off New Album

The local Colorado group that has seen exponential growth over the past few years is back with their first release from their upcoming album, Heat.wav, dropping August 13th. Having some fun with words the single mashes the group’s name and the title of a popular Flux song for an absolute banging sound. Banana Cannon maintains the glitched synth that RPM is known for, while introducing some serious wobbles throughout the track. This track was first played on HOT 107.1 on Friday, and I have been patiently waiting for its’ release since then. With RPM’s growing success, the Colorado community will get two changes in the near future to catch the trio live. First, at legendary Red Rocks opening for another Colorado group, SAVOY, then in September they will be playing along side Figure and Lazerdisk Party Sex at Cervantes Masterpiece. Please support the local talent!

Wednesday Weather Report

Thanks for tuning into another weekly weather report, coming up we have some really dense formations coming in with scattered bass showers lasting long into the evening.

This week I have been reaching back into the depths of my harddrive to find some tunes that have really hit home with me over the years, as well as some fresh new music that I think you all will enjoy.

So with artists such as Crizzly, Sub Focus, Mt Eden, Bassnectar, Figure and new found wall rattler GTRONIC, its safe to say that this week will drop like a lead filled keg from a 3rd story window, as always enjoy, cheers!

Here is some Big Booty Bass from the one and only Crizzly

Crizzly – Big Booty Bitchezz (This goes out to a certain group of Tupper ground girls)

Willow Smith – Whip My Hair (Crizzly Remix)

This is some really good bass music from up and comer GTRONIC

GTRONIC – Sergeant Bass

GTRONIC – Bubba

I have always been a huge fan of Figure so here is a new track and a favorite.

Figure – The Brink

Figure – Dominate

And below is a small after-shower of tunes by a few artists that really brought me into this entire area of music.

Rusko – Hold On (Sub Focus Remix)

Golgol Bordello – Immigradia (Bassnectar Remix)

Starscape Festival: The One Day, One Night Bass Marathon

For those of you who have attended Baltimore, MD electronic music festival Starscape before, this scene should look familiar. Most likely, it is the same scene with which you both started and ended your festival experience (minus the fat chick). Starscape takes place right on the harbor of the Chesapeake Bay. And that itself is truly awesome. But the thing that makes Starscape so special is this: remember that notion of pacing yourself for music festivals? Starscape’s never heard of it.

While that mentality has resulted in a fair share of mishaps (one of which, in 2010, I was unfortunate enough to witness), it certainly breeds an energy and ferocity unlike any other festival I’ve ever been to. The gates open at 2 PM on Saturday and do not close well into the morning on Sunday. Once you enter, you are inside the gauntlet for the better part of 16 hours. And boy is there a lot of good music to enjoy during that time.

Figure May Be The Best Electronic Music Creation App Ever

There’s a lot of music creation apps for iOS these days. Being a avid music fan (duh) and consistently interested in how music, particularly electronic music, is created using all the different toys available to producers, I have played with my fair share of music creation tools. Some of the most readily accessibly ones (and cheapest) are typically available through the App Store for only a few bucks. In other words, you don’t have to save up for months then shell out a bunch of cash for some expensive synthesizer, drum machine, sampler, or similar piece of equipment. Which is nice, especially if you’re not trying to become the next big thing and just want to play around. What I have found in my experience, and perhaps you have too, is that most apps are either too complicated, too simple or too user unfriendly to be a lot of fun.

For the producers who have played around with much more complicated equipment than what can run on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, some of these apps can be a valuable addition to their production arsenal or even standalone tools. For example, Gorillaz produced an entire album using about 20 different iOS apps that was actually pretty good considering the kind of equipment it was produced on is in a lot of peoples’ pockets and shoulderbags (you can take a look at the apps they used here). But for the average Joe who just wants to play around and impress their friends, not super practical. That’s where Figure comes in. Propellerhead, the Swedish company behind music production software Reason, decided it was time to enter into the iOS market and what an entry they’ve made. As you can tell from the video, developers designed Figure to be fun and accessible for the average person, whether it be in a serious capacity or just as a diversion during their morning commute. And the best part? Unlike some of the other major music apps, Figure costs only $0.99 on the App Store. So go ahead, download it, and see what all the fuss is about. [Want to learn more? Check out the app's website here]

Oh wait… you don’t have an iPhone? Hmm… how bout some music instead? Two moombahton tracks for ya today:

E4RTH – It’s Where We Live (Sazon Booya Remix)

PUNCHES – Can I Live (Skeet Skeet Remix)

Wiz Khalifa, Yelawolf, and Rookies?

I will be the first to say that in many cases the “Dubstep Remix” that follows many good Rap songs can be less then enjoyable, and nine times out of ten these “Joints” are under-produced. Today I have come to impress you with a couple tracks that I think may even sound better then the original with the help of the guys at Teravita and of course my man Figure. First off I have Figure and Wiz Khalifa tearing up this track, Figure managed to keep the integrity of the original Wiz song and merely add some great drops and loops to keep your feet moving while Wiz serenades you with his talk of paper products, Trapper Keepers, and Willy wonka… Genius.

XV & Wiz Khalifa – Gobstopper (Figure remix)

Next up I have the Teravita Remix of Yelawolf’s track entitled Daddys Lambo, get ready for a real punch in the face on this one. Teravita brings the noise to this track and samples in and out through Yelawolf’s vocals flawlessy. So c’mon girl lemme drive your daddys Lambo!

Yelawolf – Daddys Lambo (Terravita Remix)

ROOKIE Bonus section: These are a couple of new Moombahton tracks that I just had to share with you from artists we have yet to feature here on MMIBTY. The first is a great remix of Tim Berg’s first single Seek Bromance, great vocals combined with some serious percussion make this remix by ESSBEEDEE a keeper for sure. The second song is the Skeet Skeet Moombah remix of the song Ray Charles by Chiddy Bang, this one is just good clean fun.

Tim Berg – Seek Bromance (ESSBEEDEE moombahton touch up)

Chiddy Bang – Ray Charles (Skeet Skeet Remix)
