An-ten-nae is one of San Francisco’s most sought after DJs and live performers. He has taken the art of live remixing to new heights with his own customized performance setup, enabling him to bend genres in ways seldom heard.
Acid Crunk EP#7 demonstrates the power of the west coast bass culture in all its glory. The EP start off with his remixes of Australian vocalist Deya Dova’s ‘5 So Happy’ , which brought the house down on the Village Stage at Shambhala Music Festival this year, on the dub version he strips all the elements of the original, only keeping light vocals and creating a tribal-acid-stepper of epic proportions. Following is the Instrumental of his track Take A Stand which features massive 808’s, warped Basslines, and searing effects. Dirty #7, picks the tempo up to a sizzlin 108. with oversized drums, and colliding Basslines, the EP ends off heading into Deep Acid territory with his psychedelic stormer titled Hello. An-Ten-Nae is currently putting the finishing touches on his Acid Crunk Vol. 3 compilation, which we guarantee will blow sum eardrums and have your eyeballs popping out of yer sockets!!

With an album in the works and the ever growing Acid Crunk series running at full s

The success of An-ten-nae’s Acid Crunk series has helped define more than a genre but a culture of freaky funk for the dancefloor.
This time round An-ten-nae picked Cape Town, South Africa based artists ‘Mix n Blend & Narch’ and then put the track through his own remix actions and got remixes by some of the US west coats most sought after artists of the moment, namely; Beats Antique, Dov, Mochipet and Random Rab. From the jazzed out instrumentation of Beats Antique to the hyphe glitch of Mochipet the effect is high impact and made for dancing.

Mix n Blend & Narch have been rocking festivals around South Africa from Oppikoppi to Rezonance and then keeping their local Cape Town scene funky and fresh with diverse beats.

Mix n Blend s debut album in 2009 ‘Look Mom, No Hands’,  on African Dope Records was widely supported including Boom Monk Ben from Solid Steel Records UK including numerous Mix n Blend tunes in his now famous Solid Steel Mixes. 2010 also started hot for these young fellas with their dubstep crunk ‘Get Crunk Wit Jesus’ track getting signed to UK based Skanky Panky Records and selling well. The future is bright with Mix n Blend & Narch bringing us a little of that sunny South African heat.

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.

Symbiosis Gathering in it’s 5th year has become a unique festival in Yosemite California featuring leading artists in a broad range of music styles including House, Electro, Dubstep, Breakbeat to Jamtronica and performance art groups like The Yard Dogs, artist Andrew Jones visual art project called, Phadroid and live painting by Alex Grey.

Meesha was first featured on ‘Autopirate’ and has since made a mark for himself in dubstep, one of his tracks was recently included on Starkey’s mix album, Starkbass, out on the Lo Dubs label.

Masia One is one of the most dynamic women in Hip Hop today, fostering a community of B-Girls and promoting independent Hip Hop in Toronto and abroad, you will be hearing a lot more from her on Muti Music.
Following up on past successes, we got some remixes done by some of the most dynamic emerging talent from Canada and USA in the dubstep and ‘glitch-hop’ scenes providing a good variety of vocal and instrumental mixes, many of which are already seeing huge support. This EP is being released along with a great new video of the original tune.

An-ten-nae - Acid Crunk EP 5 fulfills all the themes that have been featured in this ‘acid crunk’ series that has included performances and remixes by Ghislain Poirier, Face-T, Lawgiverz, Dov, Samba and Outersect.

This time round we are honored to also have Jamaican dancehall star ‘Buccaneer’ featured twice, delivering an awesome vocal performance that flows effortlessly over heavy basslines.

An-ten-nae’s Acid Crunk EP 4 fulfills all the themes that have been featured in this ‘acid crunk’ series that has included remixes by Ghislain Poirier, Lawgiverz, Dov and vocal stylings of Samba. Once again Samba is featured, however An-ten-nae delves into his dubstep influences this time for a very deep and pleasurable experience that will also rock the spot.

Left Coast Stomp is already emerging as a ‘Left Coast’ anthem and we know that you’ll hear a lot more from An-ten-nae in 2009.

An-ten-nae’s Acid Crunk EP 3 fulfills all the themes that have been featured in this ‘acid crunk’ series that has included remixes by Ghislain Poirier, Lawgiverz, Dov and vocal stylings of Samba. Once again Samba is featured, however An-ten-nae delves into his acid influences this time for a very deep and groovy session.

What are they saying about this release:
Nick (Interchill) : “Very cool … Liking this one lots. Also liking Nanda’s album”
Sneak-E Pete (Blunted Funk / Samurai FM) :”dope stuff, Adam should be proud of this…really diggin Djelem and Monkey in My Attic a lot…and the remix of Outersect, will definitely play out, and put on some upcoming Samurai FM mixes.”

Acid Crunk EP2 takes us deep into bass driven, Electronica, Hip Hop and Dub fusion territory featuring a remix by Ninja Tune artists Ghislain Poirier & Face T and then also a more dance club oriented mix by Muti’s own Dov.

“Long established San Fran producer An-Ten-Nae ditches his (tired old) breakbeat, trance and techno, in favour of ‘acid crunk’, cranking up the dangerously dirty electro beats over a death metal style grunt to die for. Distinctly French in vibe (as in Institubes/ Level 75 style French) Destroy The System might do exactly that.Evil.”

Mike Hogan Reviewer for: MOFO, Flux mag, TTR mag, Nuskoolbreaks.co.uk, Breakspoll.com: DnA - Elixir - Muti Music

Back in the day San Francisco was thought of as the hippy capital of the world, the inherent drug consumption must have made it’s way beyond the water to the very foundations of the city itself. Muti Music, the West coast’s most experimental (in a “don’t give a fuck - if its good, it’s good!” kind of way) breakbeat label keeps managing to excel itself in terms of non-conforming beatiness.

DnA brings us an incomparable melange of techno, tech funk and glitched breaks in the shape of ‘Elixir’, a track that has certainly dug deep into those acidic foundations for narcotic induced inspiration. With an almost aphexic blend of 4/4 heavy heavy stomp and twisted glitchy breaks the ‘ruined’ remix continually modulates it’s gruff synth-shapes (whilst bending the mindframe) before encouraging involuntarily body re-shaping on the dancefloor. Not for the timid, or impatient, this should be mixed long and hard, fairly late at night when the party extras are at full peak.

For a slightly more straightforward breakbeat version old noodles (Si Begg of course) himself has worked his sonic mastery with his bleep n glitch genome remix. Long drawn out bass edits and showers of blippery pepper the beggy breaks. Lurching between glitch breaks, grime and late night gloom it’s sure to be a trigger favourite, again - for the late night crew, don’t expect smiles and hands in the air though!

Outstanding listening! Clipping Paths provides deep urban vibes, bass-driven tribal mid-tempo, trip hop and ‘glitch-hop’ that will also rock most dancefloors. The last few tracks take you into deeper territories providing a luscious ending for the CD.
Muti Music is known for finding new and unique talent, this compilation features the Muti roster and closely related artists who are also emerging on labels like Interchill, Cyberset and Native State.

Clipping Paths is a compilation showcase of the sounds that are moving the west coast at the moment as well as many other areas around USA, including small pockets in Colorado, Texas, Oregon and New York.

The CD ranges from deep urban vibes from Suff-x, Undecided and Vibesquad, to ethereal bass-driven tribal midtempo and Trip Hop from an-ten-nae, Nanda, KiloWatts, Timonkey and Dov, to a crunky mixed genre mid-tempo track from Ooah, that is sure to rock most dancefloors, but deep enough at the same time to prove the perfect segway heading into the deeper territories of IDM, Leftfield and Nugaze inspired tracks from Audiovoid, Kraddy and Slidecamp ending the CD in a very warm and luscious space.

Many of the styles featured have been growing in popularity and seeing large exposure with the emergence of a similar musical tastes in scenes growing in Berlin, San Francisco, London and even Cape Town. This ‘newer’ sound has partially been an homage by producers to the Hip Hop and Big Beat along with early experimental electronica that they loved in the nineties and bootlegging the hyphe and crunk of the new millennium with the new digital tools and a new production based prowess.

Muti Music is known for finding new and unique talent, this compilation features most of Muti’s regular roster and then a group of closely related artists that we are feeling, who are also emerging on labels like Alpha Pup, Interchill Records, Dirtybird and Native State.
This compilation is as fun for a manic dancefloor stomp, a come-down session, a groove and a mingle, a fire warmed cabin or even a walk on the beach.

‘Conscious Ferilla’ was one of the first tracks spawning the genre classification ‘Glitch-Hop’ and has been played by everyone who does the midtempo breaks business. Kraddy - Brecht has become somewhat of a classic wobbly bass track with it’s epic intro and support form a wide range of DJs and this time Dov also enters the roster on remix duties with a steppy rework combining ethereal voice sounds along with sirens and wobbly bass.’Becht’ was also included on the ‘Sound In A Vacuum vol 2′ on Atomic Mouse Recordings and on Kraddy’s artist album ‘Truth Has No Path’ on Refiner Records. This EP also saw the first outing of the collaboration project between Dov & An-ten-nae composing as D’nA, this time combining electro bass influences with tearout breaks and dubby vibes, it is a smasher on the floor.
