Machinedrum Remixes Scuba’s DJ-Kicks Exclusive “M.A.R.S.”

Brooklyn / Berlin producer Machinedrum (who also happens to be 1/2 of Hotflush’s Sepalcure) is responsible for one of our favorite records of the year so far, Room(s) on Planet Mu. His remix of Scuba’s DJ-Kicks exclusive track “M.A.R.S.” exemplifies a lot of what we love about that album: breakneck drum programming, syncopated keyboard stabs, and swirling atmospheric textures. DJ-Kicks is out this week, and we’re pretty thrilled with the reviews so far.

New Addison Groove Track From Scuba’s DJ-Kicks

After setting the UK bass scene on fire with the ubiquitous track “Footcrab” on Loefah’s Swamp 81 label, producer Addison Groove has been closely watched by in-the-know fans of forward-thinking electronic music. The new track “An We Drop,” excluisve to Hotflush boss Scuba’s DJ-Kicks diverges slightly from the overt footwork influence of early releases, but still packs plenty of dancefloor thump. “For me, ‘An We Drop’ is one of the key tracks [on the mix],” Scuba explains. “It’s a fusion of two things, that urban, UK kind of sound, and something more techno. It sums up what the mix and my music is about.”

Hear A New Boddika Track From Scuba’s DJ-Kicks

One half of heralded production outfit Instra:mental, Alex Green’s “Boddika” alter ego has been responsible for a growing number of go-to tracks, popping up on mixes from many of the heavyweights of bass music. “Acid Battery,” an new track exclusive to Sucba’s DJ-Kicks is, as the title suggests, indebted to classic acid house, but sidesteps a retrogressive mind set with a state of the art production aesthetic. Like Scuba’s mix itself, the track elegantly straddles the line between techno and bass music, sitting comfortably next to of-the-moment sounds from a host of amazing production talent.

Hear Soul Clap feat. Charles Levine’s “Lonely C”

Subtle and addictive, ‘Lonely C’ perfectly demonstrates why Soul Clap and their compatriots Wolf + Lamb have found their classy and understated take on dance music in such a high demand lately. Good luck getting Charles Levine’s slinky and slippery processed vocals out of your head. As Wolf + Lamb’s Zev says, “whether you’re fresh to the scene or have been dancing for a decade, we’ve all turned to the disco for solace and we’ve all been Lonely C, at least for a night.” As mentioned in our previous post, the artists are running a video contest for ‘Lonely C,’ offering $2500 in prize money, and official video status to the winner.
