Top Billin’s dancefloor wizards Sharkslayer have been with us for years now, putting out a steady stream of polished productions which have resonated with everyone from Malente to Kissy Sellout and from Sinden to Fake Blood to the people screaming and waving their hands on dancefloors ‘cross the nation.

So it’s a welcome surprise to see fourteen tracks from the massive back catalogue put together in the “Easy Prey” package, which has a lot of varied highlights. Maybe it’s the submerged bubbling bass of Henrik Schwartz sampling track “Who Is He”, or maybe the subtle-as-a-jackhammer-to-the-skull force of Sharkslayer’s “Cold As Ice” track, which introduces a new generation to Foreigner reimagined as a pixelated over the top club ballad anthem.

In addition to grabbing the release on either Beatport, we’ve got an exclusive from yet another EP by Top Billin, this one comprised of new material from Sharkslayer which is more chaotic than a great white in a wave pool.

Sharkslayer – Reefer Shark (Club Mix)

Pick up the whole release of “Reefer Shark” from Top Billin’s bandcamp page, and revisit the Easy Prey compilation for some great moments in bass heavy twisted house music.

Our extended family in Finnish crew Top Billin are doing a compilation (that features Club Cheval, Top Billin, Spoek Mathambo, Wool, Lars Moston, Ben Mono etc.) as a fundraiser for those affected by the catastrophe in Japan. Please read below and then buy the compilation, every donation helps.

“OK, you’ve already been to few dance events to raise money Japan and have most likely donated money already, but read this and get your dose of new music while getting a change to help for a small amount (1€ even). Things move quickly in today’s world but the need for help isn’t going away in a couple of weeks. We want to do our part too. So here’s what’s up:

Big thanks to all the artists involved and Nakura, Eccy, stay strong!”

Now it’s official: It can be fun on the dark side. You just gotta turn on the disco lights.

No Brainer Records’ third release sees Klipar, who is one half of Zombies For Money (Trouble & Bass), push the Vader to the floor. The package gets rounded off with remixes by Myd (Club Cheval), Gingy (This Is Music), Lewis CanCut (Scattermusic) and Sharkslayer (Top Billin).

Go get it on Beatport.

The season of spooky is upon us and we here at Discobelle decided to gather a couple of the Halloween mixes that we think deserves a little special attention. Get ready to be scared silly.

We start off with a grueling doom/stoner mix from the Finnish masters of bass, Sharkslayer.

Then the British duo Evil Nine of course does their Halloween mix, the third edition is even more haunting then before.

“Oh hey! It’s that time of year again; the time of year where we spend a incredibly long day in the studio listening to incredibly dark and depressing music and dialogue from old horror movies until it drives us fucking insane. We’ve risked our nerves and sanity to bring you this lovely collection of VHS era electronic horror soundtracks by popular artists such as Chuck Cirino, Tanizaki Tetora, Simon Boswell and Terry Taylor. Plus it includes four previously unreleased Evil Nine horror tracks. VHS ‘Party’ is maybe overdoing it a bit, we’re not completely sure how you’re supposed to party to it but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it’s spooky bounty all the same. Have fun! X”

Our old friend over in NYC, Pocketknife decided to celebrate Halloween with a pagan mix.

“As the leaves fall in the woods and the bonfires are lit, a new mix for you focusing on the darker rituals of the season with pagan pop, mystical dance tunes and haunted sound collages…a clank here, a distant chant there. I also included some reworks from the first Canyon Dancing as well as the yet-to-be-released Canyon Dancing 2 and the in-the-works CD3.”

Babe Rainbow over in Canada makes things even more bloodcurlingly scary with his slowed down and chopped n screwed hip hop mix.

After the great success of the Mystery Mix competition on Discobelle that we did together with DJ Neoteric (DJ/Producer and A&R for Dubsided) the idea for making it into a compilation came up, since most of the tracks were unreleased. It later grew into something bigger where Neoteric dug in his vaults, and put his ears to the street to gather this collection of great club tracks from friends and artists he’s been working with over the years. There’s something for everyone on this compilation, from speaker mashers, to house groovers, to pounding techno music, this compilation has it all! With early support for Crookers, Annie Mac, Brodinski, Jaymo & Andy George, MSTRKRFT, LA Riots, Malente and many others! Keep an eye out for its release, May 18th!

Top Billin gives us the second remix EP from the massive Sekta & Spoek release “Jabajaws/Peterpan”, this time it’s b-side “Peter Pan” that gets the remix treatment from an A-list of up and coming producers such as Dubbel Dutch, Doc Daneeka, Darling Farah and Sharkslayer. We have this funked up bassfilled hypnotic techno treatment from Bristol producer Julio Bashmore which will probably make you forget all about eggs or Easter candy and instead make you head straight down to the club.
