Sounds Like Whow

Right, right, it's been a long while, but we refuse to let this fucker die.

And so, with this in mind, comes an ongoing mindfuckfest of a video of a band of a tune.

Keeping acid alive, and having a famous brother, Andy Jenkinson (aka Ceephax Acid Crew) is a master of the filthy 303 and the tinny 808, and the release of the occasionally 'Pusher United Acid Emirates shows, if nothing else, that blood is thicker than bass.

And now, a shameless but tiny plug (sorry, Aidan)
You can follow me (Adam) on Twitter for frequent updates, with links to everything from blues to bassline.
Parameters? What parameters?

Right then....

Not posted in a while due to extreme levels of work and busyness.

Well, that and I'm often far too much of a lazy bastard too.
It would seem that this blog has for the past few months been going more so backwards than anything, as some posts have been disappearing (although I do blame this on google for deleting various posts that one can assume breaches their copyright policies).

So it wasn't me that deleted your last post in a rage of fury Adam (the other SLW writer), honest...

Moving on however, Noisia's debut album (Split The Atom) has just dropped in a hype induced mess of warbling bass lines and drum hits that were physically described by my house mate last night in a manner of which nearly broke my door.

One of my favorite tracks from the album is Alpha Centauri; a filthy house tune characterised by Noisia's finely tuned trademark production standards, their heavy basslines, and their staggeringly impressive beats.
Definatley something for the dubstep lover, this track's main focus is firmly set on the bass, whilst the tack remains within the lower tempo ranges, showing just how diverse Noisia are in their mastery of D&B, dubstep and house.
The long intro is perhaps slightly annoying, but once it kicks in, this is a an absolute floor stomper. And then some.

Have a listen here!

Every now and again, something totally bizarre yet ridiculously compelling somehow starts to manifest itself in the online music scene; and this time round, it looks like Die Antwoord are set to take the net by storm.

Coming from South Africa, these guys include a lot of the Afrikaans language into their music, and they are undeniably, musical marmite. I'm currently having doubts on whether I should post this or not, but there is something so brilliantly strange about them that I'm going to have to...

I apologise in advance if you feel that I have wasted a few precious minutes of your life, but these guys are something so awesomely weird that I just have to stick it up here....






Weird shit.... but yeahh... I think I like it.

Noochies, all.

A long time ago I promised some deep and dirties on the drum 'n bass scene.

...at least I think I did.

So here's Sabre and Kasra providing a clean-yet-filthy fucker from 2009's Critical Sound. Enjoy!

I haven't really cared much for the original (cover version) by Florence and the Machine, but the XX remix is really something special. A really nice blend of beats, synths and instruments, this tune is just incredibly well made. I know this has probably been blogged to living shit by now, but one more can't do any harm can it?

And listen to it on some decent speakers, the sweeping bass really needs some decent sub to do it justice.

=D

It's been something of a while since we've last posted...

...but 2010 is a new year!

Warp Records' gem Flying Lotus has a pretty vast back-catalogue of tunes. Here's a snaggled, warm motherfucker for you to enjoy, and with rumours of a new album titled Cosmogramma, we look forward to another excellent year of great music.

Although not strictly in keeping with the normal music related posts of the blog, I hope no one will mind if I plug a charity calender by talented photographer Toria Brightside.


The calendar has 12 portraits of women who's lives have been affected by cancer. Each month has a photograph of the girl and also a few words from them.

It could be a perfect christmas present for a friend or relative, or perhaps as a calendar just for yourself. All of the profits made from the calender go directly to charity, and they only cost £10 each.

Buy one now at http://www.dieselfrog.com/other-calendars-cards-posters.... and do something amazing by supporting a life changing charity and a brilliant project.
