:::RL Grime:::


I don't know much about this guy RL Grime, assuming its a guy, but I do think he makes pretty amazing music. Future Bass at its finest; mixing elements of Juke, Rap, UK Funky, I could keep going, but I think you get the idea. I put my personal favorite down below, but peep the whole Soundcloud.

:::Jam City>>Waterworx EP:::

Night Slugs really haven't missed the mark yet. Their catalogue of releases reads like a best of 2010, and so far, 2011 hasn't been any different. Following up Bok Bok's Southside EP, they have quietly uploaded previews of Jam City's forthcoming release [NS011], Waterworx EP, onto their Soundcloud. This is filled with that wonky, sliding, wiggling bass and warped out sirens. Late night, dark room, sweaty bodies type shit. Tell your friends, this comes out later this month, and pre-order it here!!

:::Raekwon&Nas>>Rich & Black:::

:::NGUZUNGUZUxXLR8R Podcast:::

So basically, they are killing shit and XLR8R took notice [as always] and locked them down for the newest installment of their podcast series. Tropical bass vibes dripping off this one.

:::Salva Remixes Rainbow Arabia:::


Full force on this shit right here. Salva is poised for domination. His Frite Nite label is doing BIG things. He is doing even BIGGER things. Get informed. His album, Complex Housing, was released earlier this year and received an overwhelmingly positive response. They love this shit. You will too.

Enjoy, and post this shit on your facebook/blog/twitter!!

:::Brenmar>>I'm So High:::

The New York club king, BRENMAR, is preparing to release a new EP on Sinden's Grizzly label on June 20th. GET EXCITED!! I admit, he is definitely a personal favorite of mine [as well as a frequent topic of this blog], but god damn his shit is TOUGH!! It has that perfect mixture of hood banger and club banger and when he add the sexed out RnB vocals it becomes a whole different animal. This track is a little more on the club banger tip. Play at a loud volume while getting ready to go out, you'll get what I'm saying. As an added bonus, Austin's Dubbel Dutch put the remix of this track he did for the EP up on his Soundcloud. So PEEP THAT!! Tell your friends.

:::Foreign BeggarsXLazer Sword:::

Lazer Sword is branching out. Right on the heels of announcing their signing to Modeselektor's Monkey Town Records, they drop this ILL grimey banger. It's got that signature LZ sound that we all love. It is perfect really. And Foreign Beggars mash up the track so hard. But let us be honest, when has Lazer Sword made a bad song? You can pre-order the entire EP here. Tell your friends.

It is everything you would expect from the head of Night Slugs' debut label release to be; synthy, futuristic, overly unique, near perfect, amazing, etc. Seriously tho, the anticipation for this release is IMMENSE!! At least in my world it is. This is someone who quickly rose from obscurity to near legend status among his peers, releasing some of the most forward thinking bass-fused house music on numerous labels. And then going on to create one of the most exciting, truly next-level music labels. Give it up for this young prodigy. Serious. The EP is out May 31. Tell your friends.

Jody Breeze, from the infamous TERROR SQUAD [Big Punisher {RIP} & Joey Crack's crew], moves in the direction of footwork and creates an instant classic from the most unlikely of sources; SADE!?! DAMN KID, no one thought this was even possible! Smooth as a motherfucker, but it still has soul. Shouts out to the Ghettophiles from Chicago for pushing this footwork/juke shit into the fucking future! You can preview the song below, and if your feeling like you need this, buy it from Bleep. Play this for you mother.




:::Lando Kal>>Further/Time Out:::


The time has come; Lando Kal, one half of Lazer Sword, is ready to lay down his solo debut upon the people! Further/Time Out are being released on Hotflush Recordings, and I couldn't think of a better label for this musical mastermind to begin his solo career with. These tracks are a mixture of the lazerbass from his roots, with the new juke sound [that everyone is trying but few are actually perfecting], and this beautiful UK Funky vibe that Lando has been giving us a taste of during his live sets as well as recorded mixes as of late. This release is a piece of history. Such a smooth vibe on both these tracks, by the end you just want to start them over, and over, and over, and over... you get the idea. This isnt just a suggestion, this is a demand; BUY THIS VINYL! Tell your friends.

This is the type of music that sparks a revolution!

Although this world he has created can be haunting, and at times even mystical, don't be afraid, he laces the trip with enough psychedelic sonic soundscapes and straight-from-the-gutter, trunk-rattling bass to keep both your mind and ears wide awake! Don't let the mask fool you, this man is NOT hiding. He has brought with him a whole crew of lyrical wizards including Gary, Indiana native Freddie Gibbs and Frite Nite fam Zackey Force Funk. Spread the word; Mexicans With Guns is taking control.

The time has come. We have finally been blessed with new music by one like Comma. He is on his next level hype with this one. The sounds coming out of my speakers are some future-retro style, holographic wormhole beats. He melds together vintage soul vibes with space age futurism and laces is all with his clever samples and chest rattling bass. Perfect get ready for summer beats. But to be honest, these are perfect get ready for life beats. This is what I want to be listening to when I blast off in my rocket ship. Head over to the Frite Nite Blog to join the mailing list and be entered to win a PURPLE CASSETTE TAPE of Comma's forthcoming Colortronics EP due to be released on Frite Nite May 24!!
