Speaking of large things... how about some delicious, high-cholesterol beats? Specifically, Jack Beats. Mr Beats has obviously been knocking about for a bit and he's a big favourite with certain blogs, but I'll admit I'm not a massive fan. 'Get Down', though, is impossible to ignore. It's got a more house-style structure to it than his other stuff, and his trademark wobble is combined with a grinding mono-synth which gives the whole song a rough, aggressive edge. The youtube comments pretty much sum it up - 'this is fuckin NUTS!!!!!!!!!! '. If you haven't heard/got it already then it's a must grab. (He's also put out a solid La Roux remix that's well worth checking out.)It's kind of hard to follow 'Get Down' with anything that's similarly crazyily hype, but 'Mucky' by Kry Wolf comes pretty close. It kicks off with one of the bounciest drum patterns I've ever heard and then brings in a huge, filthy, deep, fuzzed out bassline punch that sounds like 'Flat Eric' on electro-infused crack/a rubber duck taking an amplified shit. I played it on the tube this morning and nearly ruptured my face/seizured. It's deep. Another must have.
Also, Calvin Harris' album leaked the other day, to mixed reviews. Personally I think he got the singles spot on. The rest of the album isn't bad but nothing really jumps out. I could happily listen to it, but I don't think I'd remember much of it after. Either way, apparently all people are buying at the moment is singles so I guess it doesn't really matter how good the album is.
In other news, Deadmau5 has finally put a radio edit of 'Ghosts 'n' Stuff' together and is getting some airplay. I prefer the original mix, without the corny vocal bit over the top, but it's still a bit of a tune so fair play to the geezer.
Last up, one more tune. This one is some deep, grimy dubstep from Calibre - a tune called 'Tenopause'. So far all I've heard is a radio rip from Hatcha and Mala's b2b on Kiss, which is more low quality than Paris Hilton's home videos. But despite the quality the track appears to be a piece of pure fucking mentalness. I won't call it minimal, because that's bound just to put people off, but it's not the usual jump-up. The best way to describe it is as basically one rip-roaring bass sound with some freaky ghost noises over the top. And some drums. Banging.
If you're looking for any other huge dubstep tunes than hit up Rossi B and Luca and check out Enemy (or the Tallinn Evil remix) on their page. The other tunes are pretty obese as well. Looking forward to some more releases from them.
That's all, folks.
