December 1st, 2011. By Brendan

From their humble roots making improvised beats together for fun on cassette tape with no edits using mpc 2000 and keyboards that they would pass around for friends, NGUZUNGUZU have been steadily building up their global club / visual house empire with a torrential output of amazing releases and recent elemental channeling “Timesup” EP on Fade To Mind.

Now, enjoy another mixtape for Wow Magazine that keeps the spirit of raw cassette tape edits mixed with virtually unpredictable eclectic selection, including the amazing ridiculousness of “SCNF Riddim” by Jam City. Hack the world!!!!

Boiler Room x RBMA 2011: Canblaster b2b DJ Asma

November 24th, 2011. By Martin

The mad horse of the Club Cheval crew, futuristic beatmaker and computer game guru Canblaster together with DJ Asma (1/2 of L.A outfit Nguzunguzu) decided to destroy the Boiler Room takeover at RBMA 2011 in Madrid with the help of a b2b set containing French electro, UK bass, footwork, hard tribalistic beats, hip hop, R&B and general weird sounds.

Kingdom Mix for Fade To Mind

July 11th, 2011. By Brendan

Tough to pick favorites in this mix, front to back filled with exclusive jaw droppers. A Kingdom remix of the criminally overlooked Mariah Carey + Nicki Minaj collaboration?! New material from NGUZUNGUZU’s upcoming EP on Fade to Mind and DJ MikeQ? A military ode to vogue offered amongst flying bullets and exploding percussion in the form of “Wartime HA”? Yeah, sounds like they’re all going to be my favorite forever.

Kingdom: Fade To Mind Mix (via Mixcloud)

Best described by Kingdom himself:

This mix marks the inauguration of my new label Fade to Mind, and its first release, Nguzunguzu’s Timesup EP. It contains songs from that EP as well as my upcoming single for Fool’s Gold, “Take Me” featuring Naomi Allen of Electrik Red, among other exclusive tracks and edits from the Fade To Mind universe. Singular subwoofer visions, sideways club trax, and darksided R&B dubs.

NGUZUNGUZU – Timesup EP on Fade To Mind

July 5th, 2011. By Brendan

NGUZUNGUZU have never failed to deliver productions that massively shift the way we conceive of dance music, so it makes sense that their release on Prince William and Kingdom’s collaborative record label Fade To Mind.

Billed as “a record label and a movement, a series of club nights and cooperative projects in music, visual art, video, and apparel”, Fade To Mind is off to a stellar start with the NGUZUNGUZU created “Timesup” EP – full of intricately crafted pieces of dance music.

“Water Bass Power” sounds like someone sharpening daggers on a waterfall – unstoppably fluid, movement based dance music with a serious kick to it, and Kingdom’s laid back but anxiety laden R&B recut of the shuffling, “Timesup”, a tune about having to call people back, turned off phones, and an underlying unsettled vibe about one’s relationship. With production like this, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Fade To Mind gang were responsible for 98% of computer hacking that’s going on these days – futuristic, global club virus music going full speed ahead.

Buy the Timesup EP here, with remixes by Total Freedom and Kingdom, as well as three mind eclipsing original tracks by the NGUZUS.

You can also download a mix full of exclusives from Rizzla, Dubbel Dutch, AraabMuzik and more below.

Win Win – Interleave (Kingdom Remix)

May 6th, 2011. By Brendan

In preparation for tomorrow’s party with Total Freedom and NGUZUNGUZU, Kingdom flips Alexis Taylor’s soulful crooning into a pitched chipmunk diva noise on this re-edit of Win Win’s “Interleave”. Spaced out bliss for a late night out.

Voltron – Don’t Stop

May 5th, 2011. By Brendan

Voltron’s “Freshmen” EP on Discobelle Records has been gathering a lot of praise from both DJs and dancefloors worldwide, and is now sitting on the Juno UK Funky/UK Garage/2 Step Garage bestselling chart. Kind of not surprising, considering that it’s stuffed to the seams with a series of blazing and polished “UK-garage-meets-soulful-house-in-the-bathroom-of-a-rave” productions.

Take “Don’t Stop” for example, which could popularize the term “sophistigarage” with its piercing, darting percussive strength. Employing some bashy drums around the edges of chopped stuttering vocals and echoing xylophone vibes, it feels and sounds like part of the feverish dreams of a hungover diva on a Sunday afternoon in New York.

Voltron – Don’t Stop (Original Mix)

Grab it on Juno for remixes from Ultravid, XXXY, NGUZUNGUZU, J. Dixon, and The Phantom, as well as the flip side track “Be For Real”.

Voltron – Freshmen EP

April 22nd, 2011. By Martin

Today marks the release of the latest offering on Discobelle Records, Voltron delivers the goods with their stunning debut EP aptly titled “Freshmen EP”. Grab it at our favorite digital music outlet such as Juno.

With influences ranging from Baltimore ghetto beats over gay seventies disco singers to Chicago DJs who overdosed more than 20 years ago, Silverback Recordings co-founders Voltron have no lack of inspiration. Curating some gigantic releases in the past year, the Belgium based trio are now showing their dedication to proper dance music through their Discobelle Records debut release. Dubbed the “Freshmen EP”, it’s actually anything but – a series of blazing and polished “UK-garage-meets-soulful-house-in-the-bathroom-of-a-rave” productions that showcase a vibrant dancefloor energy as well a depth perfectly suited to headphones. Call “Be For Real” the futuristically techy goth house version of “Mr. Me Too” by the Clipse if you wanna, only replace the “uh huhs” with an infectious female vocal hook, shimmering filter sweeps and a rising and falling synth line that makes you feel like your vertebrae is crumpling in on itself. Similarly, the flip track “Don’t Stop” could popularize the term “sophistigarage” with its piercing, darting percussive strength. Employing some bashy drums around the edges of chopped stuttering vocals and echoing xylophone vibes, it feels and sounds like part of the feverish dreams of a hungover diva on a Sunday afternoon in New York.

On remix duties, Manchester native XXXY weaves some magic following his breakout “You Always Start It/Ordinary Things” EP on Ten Thousand Yen with a tune destined for many repeat plays. Wisely letting the vocals get carried along a landslide of hazy, organically textured house, XXXY plays up the longing-filled vocal hook before setting down some acid washed bursts on some kind of futuristic electronic xylophone.

And like emergency room medics speeding through the backalleys of LA in a rickety ambulance with fake plates, Nguzunguzu jolt some new life into “Be For Real” with blazingly fast blasts of pulsating loops simulating what it’s like to have a defibrillator pressed against you for five minutes. Catchy and rife with urgency, it sounds like coming out from a near-death experience with cardiac arrest or what it feels like to have a 135bpm irregular heartbeat.

Meanwhile, The Phantom brings forward an effortlessly danceable jam that weaves in and out of a dubby, garage basement sound. Punctuated by a “HA” sound effect that could be equally at home in a Proxy track, it’s the one that might get you jacking your body without even realizing you’re doing it.

On a similar tip, J Dixon attacks “Be For Real” with a barrage of cowbells and percussion, only to drop everything and let the vocoder vocals come through and then build up a conga-backed, maraca shaking quiltwork of sound.

Finally Ultravid’s interpretation is a slice of the musical “new flesh”, straight out of videodrome: pulsating drums melding with human flesh and lazerlike synths colliding with human voices in the middle of a dark dancefloor. Long after the track’s over, the vocals will be rattling around inside the misty recesses of your head.

The fellas did a mix to promote the release, and it’s been spinned repeatedly here at Discobelle HQ.

Truancy Compilation One

March 28th, 2011. By Brendan

OMG Truants, you just took things up a notch. Today is a day for the kind of confetti throwing, party hat wearing, setting off fireworks kind of celebration that only the release of a new, free compilation of amazing music by the hardworking folks at Truants Blog can bring about.

Truancy Compilation One is comprised of fourteen tracks from artists who influential artists spanning every genre imaginable, with sounds oscillating between summertime snyth party and acid tinged mini-house. Featuring mind altering tunes from NGUZUNGUZU, Teeth, Femme En Fourrure, Grown Folk, LOL Boys, Teki Latex, Mele, Brenmar, Glass Actor, Square Mode and many more, it’s the most abundant gift that the internet has revealed to us in quite a while.

Whether the bleepy chanting “jewelery, chrome and stones” chorus of Grown Folk’s “Steady Moving” is your thing, or the tweaked tribute to micro scenes that Teki Latex choruses over tambourines and summery handclaps, there’s something in this package for everybody. NGUZUNGUZU also weaves an effortlessly trippy jam that’s sure to be stuck on repeat, while Teeth packs a ton of bongos and grime into just five minutes.

Truancy Compilation One (via Truants Blog)
