Domain ID

The creative force behind Domain ID is Mathias Lodmalm from Sweden, who brings a European flavor to our midtempo dancefloor beats. No stranger to the limelight Mathias signed his first international recording deal at the age of 17 and his first releases sold over 250 000 copies, resulting in over 200 shows in 20 countries, he now returns under a brand new aliase and with a tech-funk style that will please many dancefloors.
Generally keeping occupied in creative the endeavors of sound design, being a producer, engineer, mastering engineer, graphic designer, photographer, he now delivers a creative take on electronica varying from 85 BPM to 110 BPM and drawing from a range of influences from Techno to Glitch Hop, to House music and experimental breakbeats.

Artist - The Realist

February 8, 2010 | Filed Under Blog Posts, Featured Artists | No Comments

The Realist are here to tell it like it is. They are the political party that doesn’t want your vote. They are the religion that doesn’t want you kneeling at their altar. They are the uncomfortable truth that you don’t want to hear.Taking no prisoners in their war of attrition against the superficiality and moral hypocrisy of polite society and popular culture, The Realist stay true to their name.
Part hip hop crew, part rock group, The Realist is producer, The Triplet of Bellville (T.O.B.), and rappers Kid Clever and Sinister Dexter.
Wearing their anger and disgust like a badge of honour, The Realist defy genres with their bone-crushing fusion of glitch-hop and electronica. With the power of an apocalyptic opera, their sound is characterised by heavy electronic basslines underpinning orchestral soundscapes layered with powerful lyrics and tortured death metal vocals.

Klone created a stir in the  ‘glitch-hop’ and breakbeat / electro bass scenes in 2009 with his release ‘The Push Effect’ and follows up with an early release here in 2010 slamming his glitchy and bass influences together with his own take on Dubstep.
Klone hails from a southern industrialist city, Birmingham in Alabama, named after it’s UK counterpart and providing the ideal environment for urban expressionist music that is both melancholy, post apocalyptic and chunky enough with bass to move a dancefloor.

‘Dubconstep’ is a bass driven dubstep journey full of whomps, wiggles and great synth leads that in true ‘Klone’ fashion are bittersweet at times and epic on others.  - For fans of Rusko, Caspa, Datsik, Bassnectar

Heyoka made his brand international this year playing festivals in Australia, Canada and being ever present at US club nights & festivals. His early influences in Downtempo, Dub and IDM combined with more recent mid-tempo dancefloor genres have helped create a very unique sound that combines relentless basslines, hip hop and dub rhythms with a lot of musicality and melody. The continual evolution of Heyoka’s productions and his ability to continue to sound uniquely ‘Heyoka’ is evidence that the road for this young producer is going to be a long and prosperous one.

Muti047 - Bassobese - 49 Nights Of Twilight promo

No stranger to urban beats ‘Bassobese’ is new on to the Muti Music roster, but has been making waves in the Pacific Northwest for quite some time. His mashup mixtape,’$hitting In The Mainstream’ was one of the mixes fueling midtempo crunk and mashup scene with it’s audacious take on contemporary Hip Hop culture,  Bassobese is now releasing an all original composition album to the greater public.
After six years of producing Hip-Hop and performing alongside acts such as KRS-One, The Wailers, Living Legends, J-Live, The Coup, Blackalicious, Heiroglyphics, and touring with artists such as Rahzel and Andre Nickatina, Bassobese has shifted frequencies, focusing instead on making music to melt the listener’s minds, while simultaneously providing the bass to shake the club.
Bassobese has crafted a unique sound that may very well be a breath of fresh air to those tired of the monotones of both the Dubstep and Hip-Hop scene. His latest album, 49 Nights Of Twilight is a psychedelic collage of samples from old vinyl seamlessly blended with cutting-edge textures and booming bass. The result is a sonic concoction bound to burn up the dance floor, yet full of melodies memorable enough to stay in your playlist for years to come.

After his debut EP ‘The Next Level’ was featured on the Bobby Friction BBC1 Radio Show, playlisted on Laurent Garniers’ world tour, featured on the Beatport Dubstep charts and saw other support from the likes of Bassnectar, Digital Rust and David Starfire, we knew that T.O.B. was just beginning to make his impact with diverse beats experimentation.
On ‘Evolutionary’, Nonku’s lyrics are the perfect accompaniment for the high impact and epic sounds of  T.O.B, his experience in sound design has qualified him to produce breakdowns that have drawn comparisons to the likes of Hybrid and Chase & Status. The beats flow energetically and hard, riding the lines between Dubstep, Drumstep, Drum & Bass and general dancefloor mayhem.

An-ten-nae has long been a purveyor of fine exotic beats and low slung crunk.
Acid Crunk Vol 2 started off as a free mixtape that has now been downloaded over 37,000 times. Now, what is Acid Crunk?
It’s a no rules genre bending booty shakin’ synthesis of the dirty dirty that makes that subs in your low rider bump; and it sure goes nicely with that Ice Cream paint job. In the words of Martin Turenne (Straight.com) Acid Crunk “Conjures the druggy textures of early house and  the fearsome bass of millennial hip-hop, marrying the West Coast breaks sound with the brooding atmospheres of London’s dubstep scene.”

Acid Crunk Vol. 2 kicks off with An-ten-nae’s own low frequency taser, Bang That, he locks in the dance floor with a deep electro groove and then fires up on all cylinders with a flick of the switch. Next up is Ooah (Glitch Mob & PANTyRAiD) From it’s lush start to its acid tinged convulsing basslines, ‘Foolish Silence’ has devastated every dance floor it’s been dropped on and his live performances have induced pandemonium across the globe,  Most recently he appeared on the soundtrack of Tim Burton’s masterpiece film ‘9’. Datsik has virtually dominated the Beatport dubstep charts for months, and here again proves why he is a new standard in audio excellence. With ‘Southpaw’, Datsik delivers the goods. The other half of PANTyRAiD (aka Marty Party) turns Acid Crunk on its head
with a jackknife of a bass-driven track. Following the current success of the PANTyRAiD album The Sauce, (Marine Parade) Marty ‘s forthcoming album, on the same label, due in January 2010.
From ‘Down Under’, our Australian agent in crunk, Opiou, adds a little funk with his crunk ‘King Prawn’. Look out for his forthcoming EP on Addictech Recordings.
Akira Kiteshi has earned support across the board from the likes of Mixmaster Mike, N-type to Mary Anne Hobbs, with ‘Ulysses’, this Scotland native delivers his own nasty brand of alien funk infused dubstep from the 31st century.
Head south to Bristol and you’ll find Gemmy, one leg of the ‘Purple Trinity’  (with Joker and Guido) His newest offering ‘Bleep’ is some Bristol / Brizzle Bass Crunk guaranteed to turn those head nodders into instant body rockers. For more of his unique brand of crunk, check out his track on Mary Anne Hobbs newest compilation “Planet Mu”.
An-ten-nae returns with a remix of ‘Do You’ by UK supergroup Freeland (feat. Adam Freeland & Tommy Lee on Drums), he dissects the track into a heaving acid tinged monster sure to make all the ladies squeal.
The next 3 tracks showcase emerging talent from the US and Canada. Apox who hails from Nevada, Colorodo’s own Samples and Ill-Esha & Dewey DB (Vancouver) throwing down tasteful and versatile tracks from the ‘Glitch Hop’ school of crunk.
Collaborations often bring out the best in artists, and ‘Pharma Sutra’ is a testament to that and this off beat slammer by Filastine (Barcelona) and Ill.Gates  (Toronto) will make your jaws drop.  Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Chillout maestro Bluetech helps bring things down a bit, journeying into thedeeper shades of crunk with ‘Waiting For Initiation’.Finally, no global journey into emerging electronic genres should be complete without a stop to Berlin,so we leave you with Robot Koch and his off-kilter beauty of a track ‘Hard to Fin’, off his upcoming album Deathstar Droid.
