Nico Luminous has a signature style of “Glitch-a-delic Soul Whomp” that fuses melodic progressions, futuristic sound design and organic elements into sexy bass rollers and some epic drops.
Here’s what they had to say about his new album Music Is My Spaceship on thewaxhole.com: ‘NicoLuminous (Soundcloud, Facebook) is one of those acts that if you haven’t seen live, you’re missing out. Replete with a fannypack of looping and fx technology this guy performs musical aerobics with just his mic, and his Batman-esque utility belt. For those who have only seen him live, might not realize that he’s more than a mic manipulating maestro, but also a pretty bomb-tastic producer. .. read more http://www.thewaxhole.com/2013/05/get-inside-nicoluminous-spaceship.html

Dysphemic & Miss Eliza’s obsession with music and each other spawned an outfit built on melodic complexity, slamming drums, violin virtuosity and double time rap. Also renowned for their 100% live and original stage show, these crowned “pioneers of classical dubstep” (100% magazine) utterly mesmerize and have enough spunk and energy to leave the punters screaming.
They are smashing dancefloors in USA right now, so catch them when passing through your local town.

An-ten-nae recently played in Calgary and made time to do an interview with http://allyouneedisbass.com
An-Ten-Nae, an artist synonymous with many things. Acid crunk, 1015 Folsom, California, West Coast bass, low end tastes. He is a staple in West Coast festival culture and the larger bass music community across North America. His acid crunk series is a well known foray into his signature sound, and his project with DJ Laura and Auberon from Beats Antique, LowRIDERz, is equally well-known as his solo productions. An-Ten-Nae’s appreciation for visual arts is often apparent through his projects, whether through videos or the use of performance artists during his sets. Recently releasing Raindrops on Roses, an EP previewing his full length coming out on April 1 on Muti Music, An-Ten-Nae has been busy hitting the studio, and hitting the road with equal zeal. ...

sAuce’s lastest offering, 19∞9, is a picture-perfect demonstration of a producer mixing downtempo/ambient elements with upbeat rhythms and a psychedelic, space-trip vibe. These 2 tracks really take the listener for a ride on a good sound system. The dynamic of sound he crafts is not limited to one single genre. Keeping away from the hyped “EDM trap” sound, Caleb Young produces a very satisfying groove that most EDM fans could get down to. - The Untz, read more ... http://www.theuntz.com/sauce-19infin9

Food for thought: “Antikythera” is a Greek mechanism, named after the ancient Greek island and used to calculate astronomical positions. Could this EP be Andreilien’s attempt to relocate the planet Marklar via his sonic visions? Or maybe it’s his audio visualization of what it would feel like to explore the remains of the Antikythera shipwreck, which dates back to the 4th century BC and lies roughly 60 meters deep.” - http://www.theuntz.com/andreilien-antikythera-ep-review

“At last! The King of self-invented Acid Crunk, a bass music hybrid style of trap, glitch and other influences, has released more music. An-Ten-Nae unveils the first single off his long awaited debut album (due for release in April 2013) and it is a unique blend of voice driven melody and bass infused on-the-floor heat. Raindrops On Roses is just a foreshadowing of what is to come from the well-established An-Ten-Nae…” - http://soundlogik.com/an-ten-nae-raindrops-on-roses-ep-free-download-of-in-my-brain/

So from taking over the Addictech monthly charts right away, edging into the Beatport Glitch Hop charts and some great radio support ill-esha - Imaginary Friends is setting a new tone for Glitch Hop that is lightly ethereal, strongly melodic and the Glitch comes from some fantastic innovative beat programming.
Afromonk.com says: This time there’s a little sample of midtempo, glitch, funk, trap, glitch-hop, jazz, and soul. It’s all in there with a hint of her voice here and there. The overall sound of the release is warm. Its got those pretty synth lines and bass lines you can expect from her previous releases.

The first time a ‘Clipping Paths’ compilation was released back in 2007 it set the tone for a slew of artists who are now fairly regular names in the realms of bass and glitch. On this first release Muti Music featured acts such as Ooah, Vibesquad, An-ten-nae, and Dov before they had made carved out their individual notches in the scene that we see now 5 years later!

This from http://soundlogik.com/hypha-whispers-ep-2/: “Hypha is one of the most exciting bass music producers in the world, exhibiting supreme knowledge of all bass varieties in his productions. Since starting his production adventure in 2008, Hypha has been honing his skills and keeping up with bass trends which has all accumulated into a stellar new release on Muti Music. His Whispers EP is a stunning selection of tracks, fusing West Coast bass with the experimental vibes coming out of Europe that results in a unique blend of futuristic sound sure to please both the casual and analytical listener. The EP features passionate vocals by Hypha, dissonant synth leads that really toy with tension, and lightly hyped up stabs, while resting in a very low low-end. This producer, musician and vocalist is surely distancing himself from the norm and creating a brand that embodies some of the most unique sounds in all of the future bass revolution. Support Hypha at the links below, and be sure to preview the amazing EP!”

Some fantastic support has been coming in for the new Grillo album titled simply ‘A’, including unlikely folks that we hugely appreciate the support from like Steve Aoki and then also getting plays on BLN.FM and featured on Mixcloud.
other recent quotes about the release include:
Zen Death Squad, ” An excellent signing. Remember the days when I used to rinse his creative-commons records. Alternate is a glorious journey. “
Vapor Maché, “This release is a great listen for me. The intro and beat textures in Amiga pulled me in right a way and focused me in for the rest of the listen-through. Heavy and full tracks but never a sensory overload or too busy which is refreshing. Attention to detail in the sound design and beats but musicality prevails throughout. Well done, Griillo!”
Here’s a bit from Urban Wav: We’ve found ‘A’ , to be ever changing, full of flavor and something that can be listened to on repeat as we have done so for the past few months and still finding new things to love about the album. It can be categorized as a true ‘Electronica’ album as it’s runs the gambit when it comes to genre influences and new takes on older concepts. It is truly made for a ‘pop on your headphones and take a walk in the park’ moment.

Dubvirus has a way of creating infectious melodic anthems that make people want to bounce as much as they want to let those kness drops and get down low.

Weather it’s dropping bass that makes the floor drop out from underneath you, leading workshops of The Yoga Of Bass or performing with a large band as Dub Kirtan, FreQ Nasty is always on the mark with something new, intentional and generally ahead of the curve in some way. The new Dread At The Controls Remixed EP features 4 takes on the tunes from leading bass producers from around the world, Culprate & Greg Reve deliver bass pounding dancefloor smashers and LowRIDERz and Sugarpill bring in the hip-hop tempo and distinct US west coast styles, both riding their 808 beats hard. FreQ Nasty recently gave some interviews, picked some tunes and spoke about his music and process, for Beatport and K Mag, read some of it here:

So there is a wave of up and coming producers making their own mark on Glitch Hop with sounds that are specifically tailored around what folks are calling a ‘west coast’ sound. Many of these guys , the artists on the Headtron roster in particular are touring playing original sets of Hip Hop and Jazz inspired beats that are as melodic and pretty as they also have sub driven and bassline driven beats, hence making their own unique imprint on bass music.

Low Frequency Observer seems like they know there bass music and Glitch Hop, here’s what they have to say about Nanda - Cry Of The Ages: ” His version of the sonic assault is conveyed with strategic use of thick low end, well crafted percussion, the warmest synths ever, and tons of good vibes put into the production. He is in the club of the elusive genre shifting artists that can only be defined as “duuude, you just gotta listen.” Luckily for you he just unleashed a monster LP for your mind expanding pleasure. Cry of the Ages, a 13 track journey through many different emotions and points in time, takes you further than you could ever expect to go. nanda creates a lush soundscape that reflects his super positive modest projection of himself.” read more here: http://www.lowfreq.com/2011/09/no-crying-for-nanda-only-of-the-ages/

We found this great blog that gives love to loads of our artists and according to the Knight Riderz they loved it because it was a reviewer that ‘got it’ !
beglitched.com:
“As any genre grows the music lover has to sift through more and more mediocre music to get to the tunes that really stand out and give you that rush of experiencing something that is unlike any other music you have heard before. It is up to the artist to consistently push their boundaries by not relying on formulas that have worked in the past. Once they push past that familiar territory and enter into the unknown, that is where the magic happens- all things are possible and amazing music is made from the willingness to experiment….read more here http://beglitched.com/knight-riderz-12th-dimension/

London-based producer Son of Kick is not playing around, as the onslaught of bass in his tracks will tell you. His genre has been dubbed “psychostep,” which I think is pretty appropriate, especially for his upcoming Muti Music release Playing the Villain. I’d brace myself before listening, if I were you.

Here’s some French blog coverage on the forthcoming Timonkey - Astral Traveler .....
and yes it says pretty much what our press sheet says too, but it says it in French and we’re told it’s more sexy that way anyway, so we thought it should be shared:
“Astral Traveler” est la dernière sortie de Timonkey. Il continue ici sa quête de faire du dancefloor un endroit encore plus merveilleux pour les amateurs de basses sagaces.”
“Astral Traveler est profond, et funky; parfait pour un début de journée ou de soirée.”

“Yet another fantastic producer joins the ranks of artists releasing compilation albums composed around a single hit track. +verb never fails to produce spectacular and highly original tracks. An ideal blend of lasers, bounce and bass, +verb always hits the sweet spot with his musical creations. “Cough” is yet another highly innovative original by +verb and the lineup he has selected to do the remixes absolutely ensures the quality of the album. The “Cough” remix compilation, released via Muti Music, is yet another must-buy of 2011. ... read more and listen to some of the tunes here : http://www.subsynthesis.com/2011/02/verb-cough-remix-album/

If you’re at all like me, a minimal tech, indie hip-hop fan who’s becoming increasingly confused by the nominalization of the various distillations of the two respective genres and/or their hybrids, then I’ll spare you the jargon and avoid trying to pigeon-hole MiM0SA’s sound as being “funky-witch-house” or “dubhop-groovy-pants” or something. Simply put, the LA-based DJ/producer is one in a series of southland players who’ve been helping to breed a dup-step-originated music scene that’s huge here in the area and has, till now, been fully out of the eye of the mainstream. read more at URB http://www.urb.com/2010/09/17/urb-exclusive-mim0sas-deadly-debut-single/

It many respects, it seems as though wobble bass has staged a coup on traditional forms of electronic music. But most DJs will tell you, it’s not hard to make wobble. The toughest part is making something happen with it. For an artist like Ana Sia, she never has to think twice. While some of the music’s charm is in its sporadic tendencies, the song structure and composition is exceptional. And it doesn’t hurt that every single section sounds like some of the grimiest, filthiest and joyful West Coast electro in recent memory.

This week we are graced to have a new Fire Friday Mix! Ana Sia was in one of the Glitch.fm djs studio for a show! This past Sunday the Salvage Future show hosted by Thirsty and Bertzerker brought in the lovely Ana Sia and she totally rocked it!
Ana Sia has recently put out a new EP, International Profile, on the infamous Muti Label. She has been working closely with the one and only phat conductor, ill gates! The first track caught my ear. Be sure to pick up the release!
Got to give tons of respect to Ana Sia for all she does. It can be tough in an industry where it’s mainly all male driven. I’ve personally met her but have only heard good things. She apparently had encouraged Epcot to come hang out during WMC when he recorded a show with us. Big thanks to her on that one considering Epcot had a lot of knowledge to drop on me about promoting and doing events.

As I began reviewing Timonkey’s newest album, Future Perfect (Muti Music), I knew I had to lay down on my couch for this. As I hit “play,” otherworldly dubbed out journeys through the minds sky began to knit the hemispheres of my brain. Shall I say: wobbly sonic scrub a dub dubs pound you like a massage therapist chewing at your muscles or an all consuming audio brew hand crafted by a Chinese herbalist to cleanse and re-pattern your Chi? Both!
As his press release states: “10 years ago, Timonkey climbed a massive Redwood tree that towered above a renegade party in the Santa Cruz Mountains. As the sun rose, he received the inspiration for what has been his mission ever since: to make the best sunrise music ever. Delivering a proper morning set is a delicate art: the dancers need strong energy to keep going, but they are also craving something different by this point in the experience. Timonkey is one of the few DJ/Producers who… can give a long night of rave and revelry the closing ritual it deserves.”

Has anyone else noticed a huge difference between Nor Cal’s bass music and the rest of the world’s bass music? Nor Cal producers have this hyphy hip hop tear-out laser sound that is so distinctly theirs… and they really fucking love their wobbles. That said, Siren’s “Jingletown” (Muti) has a definitive Nor Cal vibe to it. He tries to capture the vibe of ”Jingletown,” the ghetto neighborhood in the south part of Oakland in a meaty five course album.
