:::Comma>>Ken Griffey Jr.:::

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!!

:::DIE ANTWOORD:::

These two are the shit. Fully flexing that ZEF shit!! Nuff said. Peep game.
Die Antwoord.
What does that mean?
The Answer.
The answer to what?
Whatever, man.

Check out the short film they made with Harmony Korine!!

:::Machinedrum>>Room[s]:::

OH MY FUCKING GOD. Stop everything. Machinedrum has created a new sub-genre: Juketure Bass. This shit is so perfect. Such a natural progression. I can't even write about it right now, I just want to keep listening. And they would tease us with these small snippets! It IS worth it though. So hungry for this on vinyl, it is literally making my stomach ache. Click this link and listen to the entire new LP from Machinedrum entitled, Room[s], out July 11 on Planet Mu [the label who continues to amaze and inspire!].

Peep the Roni Size edit!!

:::Robot Koch Interview:::

I decided this was more than worthy of reposting. This is an interview that my friend and I did with Robot Koch for City Full Of Neon Lights. It was right after his show with Madlib at 1015 in San Francisco. Robert is an AMAZING person. Please support his music, tell your friends, read this interview. 

City Full Of Neon Lights: Welcome to San Francisco! For our readers who are not familiar, please introduce yourself and tell us what you do.

Robot Koch: Well, my name is Robot Koch, actually my name is Robert Koch, but Sacha from Jahcoozi (Sacha Perera) nicknamed me “Robot” because I tend to, you know work a lot, sleep a little…..very little, so that’s how that whole robot thing came about. What do I do? I am a music producer, I played drums in a band when I was 15, got into DJing electronic music when I was like, I dunno, 20? I’m 33 years now so I’ve been doing it for a second. I play all over the globe actually, I used to play a lot with Jahcoozi but I quit, well, I’m still their producer, but I don’t play live with them anymore because it just got too much for me, cause I have a lot of production things going on and just being on the road with them was intense also. And then I started my own thing and that sort of blew up as well, you know so I am just trying to balance it out, just concentrating on Robot Koch and like, all these studio jobs that I have.

CFONL: “Like all the side projects your working on?”

RK: “Right, cause I also do some like productions for some major labels.”

CFONL: Could you tell us about the side projects your doing?”

RK: Well it’s not really side projects, I’m like a music producer, I’m signed to Sony Publishing in Germany, and they give me like some jobs sometimes remixing bigger artists, European ones. I produce tracks for other people’s records also, that part of my job, how I live, but obviously Robot Koch runs well as an entity by now, you know? So I’m touring a lot, and, it’s cool, I like the duality of studio and live shows, you never get bored you know?

CFONL: Who are some artists that you have you have been feeling lately? Maybe some future collaboration in the works you could shed some light on?

RK: Actually what’s coming out in March on Project Mooncircle, the label I release on, is John Robinson, previously Little Science of the Science of life crew. He’s down with all the cats, he’s known in the scene but never really blew up that kind of……like MF Doom did or something.

CFONL: How did that collaboration come about?

RK: We met, we just played one show together, and then Gordon from our label was like “you guys should work on an EP”, and it blew up into an album size.

CFONL: So it will be an album not just an EP?

RK: Yeah it’s an album.

CFONL: When your working with other artists and doing their remixes, what are some of the obstacles you face if you are not working with them directly face to face in a collaborative project?

RK: Well both are really important you know, so the thing between me working as a solo artist and working with a band, even with Jahcoozi it’s like three people, three opinions, a lot of talking. What I love about my solo stuff, I just do (makes the music).

CFONL: You have the ability to do what you need with the sound.

RK: Totally. I do know when it’s finished also, you know. You don’t discuss when it’s finished you just feel it, and that’s cool you know, be at peace. With a band you’re always like “it’s not finished”, “yeah I think it is”, “we need to change this part.” But, having said that it’s obviously great working with people cause they feed the gene pool of ideas with their input, so it can also be bigger. That’s why I do both.

CFONL: It (working in a band) helps you think of things you wouldn’t have thought of before, you feed off each other.

RK: Exactly, people think differently you know, so that’s the good thing about it.

CFONL: There are a lot of people you work with we’ve never heard of before, how do you find these people to work with?

RK: I like to challenge people with that actually, new names, new sounds, like discover something. Like Grace, her full name is Graciella Maria, she’s a singer from Mexico, she’s my girlfriend actually, just some gossip for the blog you know!

All: Hahahahahahahaha!!

:::Krampfhaft:::

To be honest, I don't really know anything about Krampfhaft. He [I think it's a guy] is from the Netherlands and he makes really fresh sounding, futuristic, juke-inspired bass music. He's got this sound that reminds me of deep space dance competitions and underwater turf dancing. Not much else needs to be said. I will report back when I receive more information on this mysterious bassmaker.

:::Ango>>EP Preview:::

Ango is someone who should definitely be on your radar. Already having traveled on tour with the fucking Red Bull Music Academy and collaborated with the likes of Frite Nite Boss Salva and UK bass music "IT" girl Katy B, it seems like the future is pretty bright for this dude. I am literally starving for more of his shit. You can preview his forthcoming EP below, which is getting released on LuckyMe sometime in the near future. Tell your friends.

:::NastyNastyXTheWeeknd:::

NastyNasty takes a break from his usual synth-heavy, warped out futurebass style to give us a slick 808 edit of the fucking beautiful song, High For This by The Weeknd. Really loving this 808 style!! BIG UP the FRITE NITE fam!! And NstyNsty fans don't worry, you can tell who made this. Tell all your friends.

:::Lorn>>Self Confidence Vol. 2:::

The prolific and somewhat mysterious Brainfeeder beatsmith, Lorn, gives us an hour and fourteen minutes of "unfinished/unreleased/demo/don't remember music," in the form of Self Confidence Volume Two. These aren't some scraps from the lab floor, this is 38 beats worth of pure, original bass music. Take this with you while you explore the world this weekend. And tell all your friends, Lorn is a badman.

:::SepalcureXSVIIB:::

The boys are back at it. Sepalcure comes out with a brand new remix of Ghostly Intl. dream-pop-harmonizing-twins School Of Seven Bells. Really no introduction needed when it comes to Sepalcure and their overwhelmingly beautiful take on electronic music. Dig in and tell me what you think. Tell your friends too.

:::Brenmar>>Be The One:::

Anything and everything Brenmar makes is brilliant. Fucking brilliant. This man knows exactly how to make your body move. His delicate pairing of R&B and slow-bubbling, synthy basslines makes him a serious contender for smoothest producer with the sexiest beats. Play this for your woman/man/cat. Tell  all your friends.

!!!THIS GOES DOWN FRIDAY!!!

:::LuniceXRap:::

Lunice is the fucking man!! This shit is such a BANGER, it's ridiculous! Usually known for making his own brand of crunk-hop-funky-step in his hometown of Montreal, he has already made his splash in the American Hip-Hop pool with the release of his collaboration with reputable Bay Area duo The Jealous Guys on the early 90s hip-hop influenced Bus Stop Jazz. That track saw a release only one week after he let loose the hyphy-as-fuck Stacker Upper EP. Now he comes at us with another collaboration, this time with ST 2 Lettaz and San Francisco smooth talker DaVinci, in the form of the instant head nodder, Get Her High. The clubs aren't ready. Tell all your friends.

Lunice feat. ST 2 Lettaz & DaVinci – Get Her High

I highly suggest checking out Lunice's YouTube channel. The man can dance. Peep the Gucci Sweatshirt video!

:::MatthewdavidXFlyLo>>Group Tea:::

Its not everyday you see FlyLo collaborating on someone ELSES song, but that is just what we have here. Matthewdavid, one of the more promising and original sounding members of the bubbling and often over saturated LA beat scene, is preparing to release his new album, Outmind, on April 18 via Brainfeeder. In anticipation for this monumental release [believe me, its that good] he has offered up a sneak peak of what to expect through a free download of one of the stand out tracks; Group Tea featuring Flying Lotus. I highly suggest doing away with all unnecessary distraction and letting this atmospheric audio stimulation take you to a different dimension. It's not a joke. Tell all your friends.

:::Starkey>>Sunlight:::

BRAND NEW STARKEY ripped from his daily dose of dubstep set on BBC 1xtra!! This shit is too hot. Starkey's beats are always so wild and out of control, and yet he seems perfectly in control of the situation, he knows what he is doing. You can listen to the whole set from April 4, for the next week or so I think.


"Sunlight" (forthcoming Space Traitor Vol. 2 - June 6th Civil Music) by starkey

Sunlight is taken from Space Traitor Vol. 2 which comes out June 6 on Civil Music.

:::Joker/Starkey/Megasoid video:::

This was one of the best parties I have ever been to. So much fucking respect goes out to the Soundpieces crew and An-Ten-Nae for making things like this happen in San Francisco!! And if your feeling this video, I highly suggest checking out the homie Motion Eccentrica's other films, crazy skills! 

This is the next one...

I am a little behind on posting this, but I honestly did not realize this had been released!!

This music is definitely worth your money, and if your a vinyl lover like me then then you NEED this in your collection! The artwork alone is worth the cost of the record. Tell all your friends.

:::Africa Hitech>>Out In The Streets:::

:::Lil Silva&Sampha>>On Your Own:::

Sampha is back on another stand out track, this time being backed by fellow UK artist and Night Slugs cohort Lil Silva. And again these are two guys who are the top of their game. It's like they aren't even trying! In their own words, “The song itself is about entering space and losing your thoughts and emotions as you leave earth and becoming empty to feeling and being free." Word. Serious vibes on this one, equally as enjoyable at the end of the night or first thing in the morning. This track is on Lil Silva's forthcoming The Patients EP which is getting released April 25th on Good Years. Tell your friends.

You can listen to the song on YouTube, but its a radio rip.

Or you can stream the track exclusively over at The Fader.

:::SBTRKT&Sampha>>Living Like I Do:::

This is pretty much the best song out right now. This and that HudMo remix of Jamie Woon have pretty much been on constant repeat in my life, although honestly, there is always too much amazing music to pick a favorite [this blog is really just me sharing my favorite music]! These are two insanely talented guys making insanely good music. It seems like Sampha is someone to keep both eyes on this year. His recent collaborations have been some the best tracks being released and I highly suggest watching his Boiler Room set to see where he is coming from.

YT057 - SBTRKT - Living Like I Do by Young Turks

You can order the 12" directly from the Young Turks store, it comes with a Machinedrum remix of Look At Stars [also featuring Sampha] on the b-side.

:::NASTYNASTY>>MONSTERS EP:::

NastyNasty is back with a brand new EP and you can stream the entire thing over on Soundcloud!
He is up to his usual futuristic bass business with a seriously warped out almost stream of consciousness  style that he has created all his own. I love what he does with the vocals on his tracks, sooo goooood!

Nasty Nasty - Monsters EP by Robox Neotech

You can also grab two free tracks in anticipation and HYPE for the new EP, which drops exclusively on Addictech April  28 and then everywhere else on May 23.
