KANJI KINETIC New Era EP

March 25th 2010 by SIMcommander | Tags: , , , ,
Ever since his impressive set at Lowriders we have an eye on Kenji Kinetic. His blunt melting pot of Garage, bassline, dubstep, and oldskool breakbeat makes it already stand out in the releases that are produced. His New Era title track is a fine example of this madness. Starting with this bombastic opener voiced with a SF movie sample and then shifting into pure mayhem. It sounds like a dark rave (including loads of breaks and dito climax builts) mixed with 16bit's over-the-top chainsaws. What can we say: a slammin' pit guarantee! The Earthbound is as heavy full of metal flics, like a scrape yard turned upside down by transformers.... This fits perfect in the already immense catalog of Kid 606s TigerBeat6 label The Zombies track completes it all. Seldomly reviewed such mayhem...

OM UNIT Lightgrids (Illum Sphere remix)

February 14th 2010 by SIMcommander | Tags: , , ,
Om Unit recently released a 7 inch on All City's second 7x7 series called Lightgrids / Lavender. Illum Sphere did a more then impressive remix of it. Somewhere between breaks, early D&B, rave in the blender with hip hop and IDM. This sounds weird or so late 90ies that it might be ignored but do yourself a favor and don't sleep on this!

BROWN ACID Try Humanity remixes (2nd version)

October 24th 2009 by SIMcommander | Tags: , , , ,
Brown AcidThis might not be the best way to make your mark as starting artists, getting remixed by two big names from the beats scene: Zomby and Starkey. The Brown Acid gets outdone by the brilliant remixes.  Zomby creates a club version as powerful as a lot of early acid breakbeat rave tracks, cheerful hands-up with a rocking 303, cheesy synths and an airhorn. Starkey makes it more difficult for the Brown Acid crew by his over-the-top rave- symphonietta. The original is cool retro feel track but doesn't make chance with the remixes.
