An-Ten-Nae and his Acid Crunk machine has been on a non-stop rampage this summer, with major sets at festivals like Wakarusa, RE:Generation, L.I.B. amongst a host of others.  On his new Acid Crunk Vol. 4 compilation you start getting a feel for how diverse the ‘Glitch-Hop / Crunk’ music scene is, riding hand in hand with the growth of Dubstep and seen by many as ‘post-dubstep’. This isn’t Dubstep, Hip Hop, Wonky or anything usually packaged neatly for mass consumption. It’s an amalgamation of squashed neon-tinged futuristic bass music. All we can say is ...  get ready! An-ten-nae is currently touring internationally in support of the compilation, keep your ear to ground for his shows in a city near you.

An-Ten-Nae is an entity possessing the human mind of one Adam Ohana, giving him the ability to transcend above the constraints of music rigidity and transmit bass heavy, crunked out beats of the highest order. His bar raising Live mix mashup compilations, “Punk Rock Country Hop” and “Acid Crunk Vol. 1” have set the standard and has defined an era with over 300,000 downloads to date. Picking up steam in 2009 Acid Crunk Vol. 2 & Vol. 3 maintained the # 1 seller in Dubstep, Electronica, Breaks and Chillout genres simultaneously while also having all 14 tracks in their respective genre top 10, as well as hitting the Top 10 Dance charts on iTunes. He 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 setup, that bends genres in ways to suite his means.

‘Dread At The Controls’ is a fusion of lush Detroit strings, skittery 2-step beats, wobble bass, with a stupendous glitched-out dub-step breakdown and ‘Drum Play’ a drum-step roller fusing the hyper speed of drum and bass and the half-time swagger of dance-hall.”

‘Dread At The Controls’ blurs the lines between funky / house and dubstep, while ‘Drum Play’ slams dancehall and drumstep into a potent combination of dancefloor fever. Dread is at the controls and it’s deadly ....

FreQ Nasty
Born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand, breakbeat pioneer FreQ Nasty is widely-acknowledged by critics for consistently breaking boundaries with his music, from his classic breaks tunes such as “Boomin Back Atcha” and “Move Back,” to remixes of pop icons like Fatboy Slim, Kelis and KRS-One.
At the same time, FreQ is receptive to all that surrounds him; for example, his move to London and immersion in its developing scenes in the 80s resulted in seminal releases on Botchit & Scarper. Forward thinking and progressive, his releases evidenced a sign of the fast-moving times.
These days, FreQ Nasty is staying one step ahead of the ongoing, hype-fueled evolution of electronic music with his contributions to the Futurestep sound. The recently released FABRICLIVE.42 mix album is evidence of this shapeshifting sound: with it, FreQ takes on the bass heavy stomp of L-Vis 1990’s UK take on Baltimore house, the blistering shatter of TRG, and several of his own storming productions, including Creator, a co-production with Switch on a Santigold tune released in 2007.
FreQ is also well-known in the music scene for his social activism. In early 2008, he launched Giveback.net, a socially-conscious site featuring music campaigns, whereby musicians donate music in support of non-profit “action campaigns”.
