F*CK Yeah Friday

Big up to all the heads!  Yes, it’s Friday and boy do we have a HUGE lineup of tracks for you today.  We are truly fascinated at how many top-notch releases are making it out at the end of 2011 and early 2012.  With all that has happened this year, 2012 will surely play out to be one of the most interesting years for bass music, for any and all genres.

The first track that we have for you today is a collaboration between Biome and an artist previously featured on Bassweight Society, Thelem.  The track is titled ‘Jugana’, and pushes out some heart stopping low-frequencies.  The bouncy drum sequence keeps your legs on the move while your mind is on a journey through deep space, possibly to Kepler-22b.  Hopefully this track will see a release in the near future but for now enjoy this Soundcloud clip!

Biome & Thelem – Jugana

 

The next tune that we have is one from the EXTREMELY talented New Zealand duo, TRUTH, aka “the sonic architects of songs.”  We had the pleasure of hosting these guys at one of our shows up here in Santa Barbara and they absolutely smashed the town into pieces.  People had no idea what they were in for and when they got it, they couldn’t get enough!  This track, titled ‘Last Time’, is one engineered in the finest of manners.  The vibe that this track gives out is honestly still a mystery to us but, YOU WANT THIS FEELING.  Take a listen.

Truth – Last Time

 

The next pair of tracks that we have for you are an absolutely mandatory component of everybody’s music library(once they are released).  We speak of the men known as Killa & Instinct.  The Bristol based production team has been on top their game and is now looking forward to releases on Orientis Recordings and BOKA Records in early 2012.  The first track deserving of attention is one titled ‘Elements’ and is due out on a special three-part release series from Boka early next year.  A little on the chilled side of things this track is very beneficial to any thought-requiring task, as it’s percussion filled sound spectrum rolls through your body with meditative vibes.  The next one that we have is a remix of Thelem’s tune titled ‘Drone’ that was released in October of this year.  Again, this track is filled with immense percussion and bangs out some ridiculously deep and dark vibes.  Take a listen to both below!

We have one final track for you today and it’s one from the man like Ipman.  We just recently featured the remix he had done of Killawatt’s ‘Sidewinder’, and he’s back on our radar with this unreal original production, titled ‘Mirage’.  This tune is an epic buildup into one of the funkiest and most bass-heavy tunes that we’ve heard on the late!  There is no room for denial that this tune is of absolute quality!  Take a listen and try not to dance, guaranteed it won’t happen :).

Ipman – Mirage

 

That’s the word today everybody!  Hope you all have an amazing weekend and we’ll see you again on Monday with some badman mixes to start your week off right!

 

Peace.

Monday Recovery Session

How goes it, everyone?  Our apologies for the lack of a new post, we’ve been recovering from partying with TRUTH all weekend.  We are hoping that everybody had as good of a weekend as Bassweight Society did!  We were fortunate enough to receive an ABSOLUTE rinse out by TRUTH on Thursday at the EOS Lounge in Santa Barbara, CA.  Then, to top the cake with icing, we took him into Isla Vista to show all those UCSB students how Dubstep gets thrown down in the most proper of fashions.  Personally, we believe that there couldn’t be a better place to listen to some of the most amazing tunes than on a deck, overlooking the ocean 🙂  MASSIVE shout out to TRUTH for supporting BWS and playing those shows for us!  It was definitely one of the most amazing weekends we have had in a long time.

Taking heed to the fact that we are all still hurting from the partying this weekend, we want to highlight some music that, although still weighty on the low-end, has a soothing effect on the mind and body.

The first track we have for everyone is a track done by Starkey.  The tune is called ‘Open The Pod Bay Doors’ and was released October 31, 2011 on Ninja Tune.  This tune embodies Starkey’s signature sounds to the fullest extent.  The spacey ambiance of this song along with the break patterned drums compliment each other wonderfully.  This is a song that you close your eyes to and let your imagination take you away.  The video goes with the music perfectly, might we add.

The second track we’re bringing to you is a remix by Synkro from Manchester, across the pond in the UK.  The original of this song was written by The XX, and is called ‘Night Time’.  On its own this song is already absolutely amazing.  We believe that it is very rare that the remix of such an amazing piece of artistic expression, is of equal quality.  This here remix is one of those.  The emotion that is captured by Synkro in his take on the song is explicit and unrivaled.  Listening to this song takes you on a journey of introspect and forgotten memories.  We hope you’ll enjoy this as much as we do.

The XX – Night Time (Synkro Remix)

The final track we’re bringing ya’ll, out of respect for this past weekend, is a release by TRUTH from their Stranger Than Fiction EP that was released back in 2010.  The track, called ‘Stay’, is one of the most relaxing Dubstep rollers that we have come across in our day!  The tune is filled with the utmost soulful vibes!  The vocals on this track bring us back to early childhood days, hearing the funky sounds of groups like Love Unlimited.  Press play and let the music fill your soul with this one.

TRUTH – Stay (Disfigured Dubz)

Alright everybody, until next time.  Hope you enjoy the tunes.  Get out there and support your favorite artists by purchasing their music and spreading their sounds around the globe!!

 

p.s. BIG UP to our boy Chadillac for the logo you see at the top!!

Peace.
