Back again for your (ir)regular but as always juicy slice of grooves and beats. This week sees a harder dose, spurred by Blatta+Inesha’s recent visit to Motiv in Santa Cruz. I was ready, but I wasn’t prepared for what they had in store, a set filled with hard-driving electro from across the pond, flawlessly mixed, with enough energy to carry an hour and a half set. Keep an eye out for these guys on their soundcloud and facebook, their new track “Senegal” gets released on Dim Mak Records in a few weeks!

Here’s probably my favorite track of theirs, which just came out in March on Crux Records. The Modek remix was indeed a fantastic outing, but I personally love where this song goes in the first 3:20, a killer sub-bass, eerie vocals, and a killer drop. Ladies and gentlemen, this here’s a classic.
Blatta+Inesha – My Lady Don’t Mind

This new remix by German group D.I.M. is one of the more perfect songs I’ve heard in the past few weeks, these guys in my eyes, can do no wrong.
Fiora – Rediscovery (D.I.M Remix)

Next up is Lucky Date’s newest remix of Frankmusik’s “Do It in the A.M.”. He released his previous effort with Eli Smith a few weeks ago(one of my favorite tracks recently), this is a slowed down, more laid-back approach. Still got Lucky Date allllll over it, this has a got a really clean percs to open up, with a super funky bassline underneath. A cool throwback to simpler times, and a great track for the end of summer.
Frankmusik – Do It In The AM ft. Far East Movement (Lucky Date’s ’06 Remix)

Next up we got a MASSIVE dubstep track from Sex Cult Records‘ Alvin Risk. This guy doesn’t know how to slow down, churning out insane dubstep tracks, and some of my favorite moombahton originals this year alone, and this one’s no let down. Has an overall dark theme, which I think the american dub scene has lacked recently, and this guy is going nowhere. Go check his soundcloud, then peep some of the junior Sex Cult crew, big sounds coming from guys you’ll hear more of.
Example – Stay Awake (Alvin Risk Remix)

Monstrous, dark, gritty electro from Skitsnygg.
Haunting, superb electro/dance tracks from yourdirtyhabit.

Last this week we got a heavy electro remix from the 19-year-old up-and-comer DallasK, with his huge remix of Nero’s Guilt. Honestly after some of their previous releases, Guilt could never hold its own for me, but this track has completely brought it back to life. His “Front/Back” track has been tearing up Beatport and moved this kid to “Serious” status I’d say pretty damn quick. eyes peeled on this kid.

As always, wear good headphones, and buy the music!
