Our French buddy, the electro demon known as The Toxic Avenger, is about to release two new records on September 29th. A new 12″ entitled “Toxic Is Dead” (out on Iheartcomix and it comes backed with remixes from Drop The Lime, Franki Chan and South Central) and also a Scion CD sampler compilation of that includes 5 new original tracks and of course a myriade of heavy remixes from the likes of Switch, The Juan Maclean, Acid Girls, Jakwob, Designer Drugs, Harvard Bass, Ocelot, Ladytron and Burns. He is also heading out on a Scion release tour in October to support the CD sampler, stops will be NYC, Austin, Cleveland and Philly.

We’ve got the storming title track “Toxic Is Dead” + an absolutely stunning tribalistic remix from the oh so talented L.A duo Acid Girls of the track “любовь навсегда”.

Scion Radio 17: Discobelle Interview from Scion A/V on Vimeo.

We got this track from the mysterious Bootleggers & Gangsters and it’s gives “Paper Planes” a d&b twist. It’s the second release from the duo from England and the 12″ is climbing on the Juno Records D&B Chart, support the cause and buy a 12″! (it also includes the track “Shut Em Down”)

The Trouble & Bass crew out of NYC have gone from strength to strength during the last two years. They happen to be one of our favorite dj crews and now they’re about to follow in our footsteps with the latest edition of the Scion compilation CD series. This is the 25th edition and it’s packed to the brim with some of their heavy bass induced gems which we’ve all grown to love. We just received this spectacular promo mix that will show you exactly what Trouble & Bass are all about.

“Scion has partnered with Brooklyn-based label Trouble & Bass for the latest installment in the Scion CD Sampler Series. What is Trouble & Bass? Trouble happens every time the Brooklyn-based crew of Drop The Lime, AC Slater, Star Eyes and The Captain get together to throw legendary dance music events. Bass is everything, whether the backbone of releases on the Trouble & Bass label or the driving force of the ballistic, sweat-inducing DJ sets – all timeless rhythms, unforgettable melodies, and surprise after speaker-quaking surprise. If you’ve been missing the raw energy that made electronic music so exciting in the first place, this is where it’s been hiding. Trouble & Bass crew are the DJs who are defining a new New York sound and sharing it worldwide. Riot inciter Drop The Lime, formed the Voltron-like T&B a mere two years ago, but already they’ve earned kudos the world over!”
