Monster X
February 11, 2010 · 1 Comment
Tigerbass smashes the place again. This time with a release from Monster X, the French born and London based reaktor wizard and lunatic musician.
“The EP’s title track is a magnificent work of mutant halfstep, brandishing it’s brutal, precise rhythms and sci-fi/horror cinematic themes with pride. A blistering Banger sure to appeal to fans of King Cannibal, Broken Note and the like. Meanwhile, “Rock your Body” takes things on a groovier electro tip, but still retains it’s crisp, mangled edits atop militantly heavy, body-pounding beats. “Lovesongs and Octopussy” takes some cut-up ragga vocals, chopped drumbreaks and mashes them into stuttering, jagged rhythms sounding like The Bug on PCP. The last track “Prowler” is a remix of two japanese dustup producers FreezerFreeze aka God OD (myspace.com/godod0079). It’s a solid, groovy and militant-as-fuck high-tech audio weapon that’s already ripped various dancefloors for those lucky enough to catch his live performances (look up his Glade set on youtube!), and caned on Sub FM by the Combat Recordings crew. Don’t miss this highly varied EP from a diverse artist who blends insane sounds and dancefloor sensibility, to gleefully batter and disorientate you while keeping you firmly locked on the dancefloor.”
Nothing more to add, only that this will break your speakers into halves!

Ben Sharpa
February 8, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Ben Sharpa from Soweto, South Africa, has been getting support from Jarring Effects since his track on “Capetown Beats” compilation in 2008. Furthermore, Mary Ann Hobbs played his tune “Into the Black” on BBC Radio1 and in november last year Ben Sharpa has returned with a new full length album.
Growing up in an alien culture, since his parents relocated to Chicago, Illinois, fleeing from South Africa’s brutal Apartheit regime, Ben was inspired by the radical new voice that Hip Hop was giving the oppressed. In 1993 he came back to South Africa for the first free elections and quickly establishing himself as a major force in underground hip hop, known for his crews with experimental, abstractedly asynchronous beats and stream of consciousness rhymes.
“B.SHARPA”, his new album, is now at the forefront of a new wave of soundsystem music, underpinned by heavy, hybrid hip hop beats with influences from electro, dub, Detroit techno, dancehall, electronica and glitch.

Shazalakazoo

I got a mail from Milan, one half of Shazalakazoo out of Belgrade, a few days ago, if I could pay some attention to their music, so I did. Furthermore, I’d heard of Shazalakazoo before; they’ve played in Berlin, Dortmund and Vienna at some known places from world music people and seem to have a good following with their mix of balkan traditional and electronics. Their new album “Speaking Balkanian” is out right now and has a good floor filler bounce. So, dear readers, attention please, Belgrade is coming!

Play.FM

I’m playing at the new Play.fm lounge in Vienna tonight (there is another office in Berlin as well, where they present the ongoing Club Transmediale at which I made interviews with Filastine and Maga Bo last year). Anyways, tonight you find me at Wiesinger Strasse 6, 1010 Vienna. It’s right in the center so you just can pass by. The place is called Xpedit Basement.
And if you’re not in Vienna tune in from 23 – 24h female:pressure radio for your global fix of chiptunes, dubstep, punk, soca, cumbia and the like.

January 26, 2010 · Leave a Comment
I usually don’t post tracks which are not for donwload, but this one is beating the sh** out of my speakers, so it has be here for you as well! Kid606 from Tigerbeat/Tigerbass/Shockout out of Berlin gives a bass heavy treatment to Akira Kiteshi’s “Ming the Merciless”. Whoot! Dropping on Special Branch Records as a split probably soon.
