It’s such a good feeling when you find an artist for the first time. Especially when their sound is just what you’ve been looking for. Just stumbled upon this particular artist who goes by the name Tallan. He’s based out of New Zealand, and apparently has been putting out some absolutely huge tunes! He had three releases in 2011 between labels Austerity Recordings and Mutated Sounds. Being heavily influenced by fellow New Zealand veterans Truth, Optimus Gryme, and The Upbeats, Tallans tunes are extremely powerful. The first tune, called ‘Before You Speak’, is an absolute stomper. Huge ravey synths right off the bat backed with an ominous soundscape leading into a syncopated, chest-hollowing drop. Strictly soundsystem music coming from this guy. Another one of his current productions, ‘Guardian’, is another soundscape lurker but, when this one drops it’s straight MADNESS! Straight skanked-out rolling drum hits on this one that make you bounce hard. He’s got a killer vocal chant that hooks you while you step. He just recently gave out a tune for free in his dubstepforum.gr feature so make sure to grab that one up below! It’s titled ‘Secure’ and it’s another deep production with a unique energy to it that I’ve honestly never really experienced before. His percussion arrangements are just flat-out proper. He’s got mad basslines up his sleeve too. Make sure to big him up for the freebie! In addition to the free tunes you will find below from him, you can find more on his soundloud page, so visit that to swoop those up too. Mad respect to him from the BWS fam. Make sure to keep your eyes on this artist, I’m sure we are going to be seeing a lot more of his music throughout 2012. Below you will also find a promo mix that he did, and a few other of his tunes and THEY ARE FREE DOWNLOADS. So, show the man some respect! Make sure to stay tuned this week we have some great music to showcase. Nuff’ respect!

Enjoy the sounds my friends, we’ll be back tomorow with some more heat for your bass bins.

To the gods.

Wag Wan fam,

Today we finna’ bring you another round of reggae dubs to keep the spirits high 😉 Pulling a couple classics out of the bag and sharing them with you, because we know reggae brings the right vibes to all ears. Light one up and have a listen.

First choon is a remix done by big bad west coast producers Noah D & Roommate, and dates back to 2008. Originally a massive tune hailing from reggae-don Alborosie, titled ‘Police’, Noah D & Roomate throw their flavour into it, titling the tune Polizia Remix. Most noticeable is the big chubby bassline accompanied by Alborosie’s high grade lyrics, making it a tune to throw in the list of classics. Whether at home or in the club, always a big tune.

Next choon is another one dating back to around 2008 and is as solid as the last one. The tune titled ‘ Big Up An’ Bun Her’ is similar to the last one with a sick reggae chant ushered by a bassline that makes you rock in your seat. Perfect day-party type tune here.

The next one is from the evil half of Digital Mystiks, Coki. On the remix of a tune titled ‘Wah Dem A Do’, Coki initiates his noticeable style into the tune while incorporating the gangsta for life lyrics so well known by veteran Mavado. I like utilizing tunes like this because it often times reaches out to a larger audience than solely deep heads.

Last choon is mega bassweight remix by Marcus Visionary titled ‘The General’. The original done by Jahdan Blakkamoore is nothing short of epic but, the remix really brings the pressure with powerful low-end frequencies. Turn this one up, sit back, and enjoy.

Blessings.
