Son of Kick - From Here EP + WIN TICKETS to Son of Kick's gig in Warsaw on Nov 10

Son of Kick  comes from West London and has become a permanent feature on a map of London heavy bass scene. His crazy live performances and multi-instrumentalist skills made him famous across the globe. Fans in Poland had a chance to experience his absolutely stunning live set at this year's Audioriver Festival in Płock. Thousands of people in Hybrid Tent went totally mental! He has released a few singles and great videos like e.g. Guacha, Playing the Villain or Revolution B for Way Way, Muti or Botchit and Scarper, plus several sick remixes. If you are looking for a good crossover between dubstep and hip hop as well as other bass hybrids - Son of Kick is the MAN :))

Next Thursday November, 10 Son of Kick will be a special guest of the 2nd Bday Bash of one of the best venues in Warsaw - 1500m2 do wynajęcia. Read the rest of this post to check how to win tickets to this show!!

W przyszły czwartek, 10 listopada, Son of Kick będzie specjalnym gościem 2nd Bday Bash jednej z najznamienitszych miejscówek w Warszawie - czyli 1500m2 do wynajęcia. Czytajcie dalej, aby dowiedzieć się jak wygrać bilety na tą wyjątkową balangę!!

A few days ago Son of Kick released another killing EP - From Here featuring psychic vocals of a Polish emcee RQM (currently residing in Berlin and a part of the infamous Berlin's Bass Maffia) and a set of heavy-weight remixers including: Pixelord, Rose Ryot and Night Drugs. The original From Here is a beautiful hybrid of psycho lyrical vocalizations by RQM, heavy drops, sick synths and whatnot happening in the background of this crowd-pleasing anthem. Rose Ryot offers an off-kilter, low-key refix with seriously distorted voice samples and quite weird, slow-burning beat accompanied by sick drums. Really mental tune. One of my favorite producer, Pixelord is more merciful changing the original into uplifting 2-step / future garage trip, with his trademark 8-bit synths hitting hard in the middle of the track. Dreamy and enchanting. Night Drugs definitely aims at peak of the night dancefloor experience in his smoothly rolling, party-oriented, heavy bass remix with stomping beat and talking synths. All in all From Here is a kind of release I'd like to see coming more from heavy bass / dubstep camp - superbly produced, versatile, open-minded, very catchy and entertaining. Highly recommended by Doktor Krank!!

Buy From Here on Juno, Boomkat of elsewhere in the interweb.

Last year, four Swiss brothers from Talen released a couple of EP's - New York Book and Kingston Book featuring heavyweights Sizzla, Cutty Ranks and underground legends Oddatee and Sensational. BBC1's host Mary Anne Hobbs took notice and dropped the debut on her show - positioning Talen amidst the cream of the Bass scene.

December, 13th 2011 they return with another heaavvvvvvyyy EP - The Comic Book on Mouthwatering Records. The EP features the vocal talent of Lady Saw,Turbulence and Ward 21. A real bomb of future Dancehall meets hard to categorize mutant electronica with remix duty handled by the Bass mafia international: Stereotyp, Kalbata, Robot Koch, Reverse Engineering, Son Of Kick, Filewile, I-Wolf and King Aron.

Out of the originals, Green Lantern is my favorite - extremely infectious dancehall riddim featuring Jamaican super sound system crew Ward 21 with great guitar samples, pumping beat and totally uplifiting synths. I feel anthem and banger of epic proportions in this one! Bass Mafia did an outstanding job with remixes. Robot Koch's refix of Johnny Blaze liquified me to pieces with his cold, glitched-up bassline, while fantastic drums and ultra deep subs with tons of delays in Kalbata's remix of Batgirl changed the original into psychedelic tribal monster (free download below!) Son of Kick properly treated Talen's work with dubstep, while Stereotyp's tune is simply off-the-hook. Silly beat par excellence! I love it :)) The rest is equally good, trust my werd.

Check your retailers next Monday (13 December) to grab this top class dancehall electro shizzle on 12" and in digital format. Really refreshing and inspiring package.

_________________________________________________________

After a few years in Barcelona, a Polish-born Emcee RQM moved his operation base to Berlin again and together with his local 'maffia' of music producers and graphic artists has just released a super dopey package of music meets visual art meets street art on his own label called Baby Sumo. These are full-blown songs and not your typical tracks with pumping, repetitious beat or wobbley bassline and a few silly, vocal lines added before the breakdown. I wish I saw more songs of such quality being dropped on the blogosphere.

The EP starts with Atomic Fusion produced by Siriusmo, a Modeselektor's associate and a creator of weird, off-the-hook tunes and remixes in the best electro/beat/tribal/rough Berlin style. Beautiful, laidback and spacey synth-driven pop song rolls nicely to the poetic lyrics of RQM who sings about all-encompassing love which consumes both lovers with a speed and power of atomic fusion, where the combined chemistry of two bodies creates a deadly flash of self-anihilating energy. Or maybe this is about something completely different ...

" ... A BLACKOUT NOW WE COULDN T KNOW
HOW WE COLLIDE JUST CAN T CONTROL
HEAT WAVES FLASH WE BOTH IMPLODE
BRACE YOURSELF ITS INEVITABLE
U RADIATE ACCELERATE MY CARDIAC BLOOD FLOW
U HOT SO ALMOST HOSTILE
SUN SURFACE AT CLOSE RANGE
POWER ME LIKE A BILLION COLTRANES
LOVE SUPREMIN
THE VACUUM OF AN H BOMB SCREAMING
HOW OUR ATOMS FUSE FOR NO REASON..."

Son of Kick's version of Atomic Fusion sounds as if listening to the original after dropping a serious dose of MDMA or LSD, with unexpected bleeps, beeps, and weird melodies popping out in the background and twisted, seriously echoed and delayed, trippy beat based on very repetitious pads and distorted bass getting out-of-synch occasionally just to turn into a drillling monster a moment later. This tune really grows on you! Color Fade produced by the Glue Kidz from Spain is 'another story about boy meets girl, from a ketamine perspective'.  This time a mellow voice of RQM and neon synths of Glue Kidz would best fit a nighty bedroom trips with your headphones on or a lovely person next to you, optionally with a nice little joint slowly burning in an ashtray ... The real highlight of the entire release comes with the Color Fade remix by Chris de Luca who crunked up the synths, added heavier bass and distorted loops, cut up and mutated vocals, thus creating a slowly burning killer! The good news is you can download this remix from Chris de Luca soundcloud. Finally JF offers the heaviest remix with a very nice intro and dubstep bassline hitting the listener in synch with the mesmerizing rapping by RQM. Another sick joint on this top-quality release.

The music is not all, actuually this is just the beginning! RQM prepared a really special limited edition of this EP, combining the COLORS FADE 7″ record and a CARHARTT limited edition tshirt designed by a French street-art artist REMED with a cover hand painted by him. Actually Remed painted one big sheet  which was then cut into 100 pieces, thus each cover will definitely be unique, though it might include a lot of graphic or nearly none at all :) What is more, the extended EP in digital format includes more fantastic artwork, this time by 44 flavors crew.

Grab the entire package for a mere EUR 24.95 on HHV site while it lasts (or I should write - if it lasts) or buy the entire release in a digital format on Junodownload

Remed's T-shirt design looks super cool:
