Previews: Starkey, Jillian Ann, Dj Tameil

I always welcome new stuff by Starkey with great excitement and anticipation. Judging by the preview, his forthcoming "Space Traitor vol. 2" to be released in June on Civil Music will be huuuuuge. Master of heavy miasmatic bass'n'synths squeezes all juices out of his machines. The sound of e.g. "Street Rockers" simply kills and "Bricks ft. Curly Castro" is the best what street bass can offer. The remixes accompanying the originals (Monky, The Elementz, to name my favorite ones) create really explosive package. Excited!

Jillian Ann from L.A., a DJ, producer, singer & song-writer releases today on Olaris Records a package of three remixes of her spacey and touching "King of Solitude".  You can easily skip techno remix of Royal Sapien, and move to quite nicely rolling and smooth Artette's remix but the real treat awaits in a glitchy breakbeat remix by Great Scott, a producer and notorious head of Glitch.Fm radio. WARNING: I really encourage you listening to this track on a proper soundsystem with good subwoofer, otherwise you won't hear da Bass :)

And now something completely different - for those of you who are into juke / footwork / ghettotech  shit. 

DJ TAMEIL has just released a 5-track Tek 9 EP on Moveltraxx. This music is pretty simple & 'silly' (not 'stupid' silly but 'goofy' silly if you know what I mean), but I still like it. Good enough to rock some bottoms and force you to make a fool of yourself at the dancefloor.

solipsistic NATION No. 156: Freqs

SOLIPSISTIC NATION PODCAST NO. 156 (I encourage you to go to the site to watch very nice videos there)

(DIRECT OWNLOAD)

All glitch-hop fans should definitely check this great podcast from solipsistic NATION. Apart from eclectic and top-notch quality music presented, the host carried out a few interviews with well-known characters on the glitch scene. Starting from Australian Jim Moynihan (Spoonbill) and founder of Omelette Records, Great Scott a gonzo behind mighty glitch.fm, Steve Nalepa (among others, 1/2 of Bass Science together with Matt.b) and Deru. It's definitely one of the best podcasts I've heard in a while. Very diverse music (some free goodies - check the tracklist) and great interviews with artists discussing among others the current status of the so called "glitch" genre. In particular one question stuck in my mind: Do we live in a post-glitch world? Do we? What's your opinion?
