Guttstar - Battery Hues EP
A few months ago I featured on my blog a sick mashup / remix of Lil' John's Snap Yo Fingers by SubPrime. As it turns out SubPrime transformed into GUTTSTAR, a dubstep producer which sounds like a bit happier version of the champion of purple sound - the mighty Joker. On 31 August 2010, Guttstar released a fantastic debut - Battery Hues EP on Party Guy Records. Let me tell you, these four originals and two remixes - by street bass don Dev79 and another heavy-bass gun from Philly - Kastle (B.Rich) - are the best, tightest and ass-kicking dubstep tunes I've heard in a long long while. 6 tracks of super high quality in one package does not happen every day, trust my werd!
GUTTSTAR a.k.a. Matt Gutt hailing from Burlington, VT, drops bangers full of smashing synths, talking basslines and crunky distortions, while building spacey and melodic sonic landscapes. Riding on filthy, heavy bass his tracks nevertheless possess a humane 'soul', which does not mean they cannot destroy any dancefloor :) Oh, quite the reverse! Fresh Produce can be easily put next to Joker, Ginz, Gemmy or Rustie tunes in terms of production quality, interesting, intelligent composition and impact on the listener, while e.g. straight-in-yer-face Bomb Blast shows more US-oriented approach to heavy-bass, reminding me of Noah D and Babylon System productions. Not Money or Show again uses purple synths and stomping beat to deliver the absolute dancefloor banger and Tracers is a slow-burning riddim with pretty decent wobble. Dev79 has seriously cut up Bomb Blast, totally changing the rhythm and beat, turning the dubstep bomb into dirty street style banger and Kastle has brought Not Money or Show to yet another level of synth-frenzy.
All in all one of the best, most versatile and satisfying releases I've heard this year. Highly recommended by Doktor Krank.
The album is available at Juno, Dj Download, iTunes and many other digital retailers.

Street Bass Anthems 4 Vinyl (Seclusiasis) - Review
Title: Street Bass Anthems 4 Vinyl
Label: SeclusiasisFormat: 12” EP
Tracklisting:
A1. Starkey - Starkvillain
A2. Starkey - Starkvillain (Instrumental)
B1. Pacheko - Lockdown (6Blocc Remix)
B2. DNAEBeats - Razur Kut
ESSENTIAL PURCHASE 8 / 10
Starkey's Street Bass strikes back. This time Seclusiasis will soon release the 4th volume of the unique bass heavy urban music. The first three volumes and the associated singles were heavily rinsed across the clubs spreading havoc on the dancefloors. As a preview to the CD and digital format to be released later this Fall, the street bass crew has just dropped an EP on vinyl. Everything Starkey touches bears the QUALITY mark all across the board, this release is no exception to this rule. After such an interesting preview I am very eagerly anticipating the “Street Bass Anthems Volume 4” mixtape compilation which will feature exclusive material from Starkey, Slugabed (YEEEESSSSSS!!!), Dev79, Stagga, BD1982, Si Young (of Plastic Little), Kotchy, Buddy Leezle, and more!!!
Starkey - Starkvillain (160kbps)
The A side of this record features Starkey’s Starkvillain in vocal and instrumental versions. Starkvillain (Inst) is exclusive to this 12” and will not be on the mixtape, so you better grab this shit now. Starkvillain is a kind of badman uptempo 2-step tune with pumping beat which I can imagine will be welcomed enthusiastically by the club crowds, at least by its female part. In particular the version with pretty cheesy R&B vocals on top :)) I'm not a big fan of this type of 'singing', yet in Starkey's twisted interpretation, this shit gains proper depth and will definitely find its way to the crates of many DJ's. The beat is very crispy!!
Pacheko - Lockdown (6Blocc remix) (160kbps)
For me personally, the real highligths of this release can be found on the flipside, starting off with the f...g mental remix of Pacheko's Lockdown by 6Blocc (aka R.A.W. aka B-Boy 3000 - the legendary drum n’ bass turntablist). The original version of Lockdown is soon to be released on the Japanese label Murder Channel. I've always been a big fan of Pacheko's stuff since the first time I heard some old tranquera mixtapes (in this context another name comes to mind - Cardopusher). 6Blocc leaves the mega groovy 4X4 bassline more or less unchanged, except for a few cut-up beats thrown in, but what makes this really stand apart from the original is sick sick sick dancehall vocals on top making the track an absolute killer on any dancefloor. This ragga ranting combined with super sleek synths has been haunting my player for weeks now :))
DNAEBeats - Razor Kut (160kbps)
Razor Kut by San Francisco‘s DNAEBeats is another bomb on the B-side. One word comes to mind immediately when hearing this track - dirty. A dirty combination of distorted grimey beats and vocals with glitchy and crunky synths and the bassline which twists with a speed of the snail yet the agility of a snake. Extremely infectious stuff, I've listened this track on repeat like 30 times when I first heard it. For me personally - numero uno on this release. Rustie's fans should not miss this joint definitely.
In general, I highly recommend this release. 8 out of 10***. Essential purchase. Grab it on Boomkat or Juno or Turntable Lab.
Bonus:
A great podcast by DNAEBeats for xlr8r.

STARKEY - FACT MIX VOL. 91
STARKEY - FACT MIX VOL. 91
Although I don't share Starkey's fondness of autotune at all, I definitely share his music taste and really dig the aesthetics of his tracks and mixes. His peculiar kind of heavy bass instrumental grime called Street Bass with fantastic use of synths and multi-layerd sonic structures always works for me. Fact Mix just confirms the strength of the stark man. The mix includes a few super dope Starkey productions and remixes with my personal numero uno which is actually an opening track (after this irritating autotune bot) - namely Fourth Dimension. Without a doubt, the best Starkey tune since Gutter Music!! Rain City and Knob Twiddler are also excellent. Next highlight is Starkey's collaboration with Budy Lezlee and Cerebral Vortex. Slugabed remix of Space Boots is another hottie. Pacheko in 6Blocc treatment will freeze your ass with cold robotic bassline and sick riddim. PANTyRAiD, Misk, Stagga, Ebola ... I could actually mention the entire tracklist. One of the most solid and entertaining mixes I've heard recently.

DRUMS OF DEATH - GOT YR THING (STARKEY REMIX)
TUNE OF THE WEEK:
What a great remix of Drums of Death! Starkey applies his well-known street bass manners, tweaking and distorting the already sharp synths thus creating an ultra heavy bass banger in which vocal goes hand in hand with tough bassline. Believe me, this track will get lots of publicity. Another surefire killer from Philly's Don!
27 August 2009
Dev79 - Live from Full Service at Club Love NYC + Donaeo - Party Hard (Dev79 Refix)
I still have vivid recollections of the brainsmashing Contra Bass party during which the ratio of killing bangers per minute went through the roof. That's why I more than welcomed the stuff hitting my mailbox from none other than Dev79 - Philly's Street Bass and Seclusiasis crew posse (Starkey, Kotchy - you all know them right??). Banging beats mood continues and Dev79 delivers what I'm craving for - namely bass-heavy ass-ripping ravey live set from Full Service at Love Club, NYC.
Live from Full Service at Club Love NYC 7-31-09 (zshare)
The tracklist is simply stellar. No exaggeration. Really. The mix starts from the earthquake and continues in the same spirit till the end. It's even hard to mention a few highlights as the whole set soaks with consistent and merciless energy downpour ranging from ravey anthems through deep breakdowns, distorted drops, punches and sick basslines to low frequency dubstep tunes, and grimey rants. Refixed, remixed and reprocessed but with one common denominator - lotsa heavy bass (or should I write street bass?). I wish I was at this party.
Well, I have to mention at least a few tracks.
Dev79 - In Ya Face (Willy Joy Remix) - smashing anthem, I've danced my ass off last Saturday to similar shit, arghhh. No f...g mercy to all beard-strokers and bar flies. Move your joints or scram.
BD1982 - Space Boots (Slugabed Remix) - f..g mental track! Slugabed has just recently released a few heavy glitched tracks and remixes and is fast gaining on appreciation. You should definitely memorize this name. Check the entire EP by BD1982 now on Seclusiasis with more great remixes by Hovatron (my fave on this release next to Slugabed), Starkey, Tayo and more.
Playdoe - Freeze Step (Starkey Remix). Philly's don Starkey never falters and delivers only quality tunnage and his remixes are class in themselves.
Backlash (Raffertie Remix) - Crazy, sick Raffertie at his best. I love this man.
Kudos to Dev79 for including Pacheko, Various Production, Dnae Beats in his mix. Great producers all of them.
Shit, I will soon list all the tracks on the mix. And music speaks better than 1000 words. You better listen for yourself.
Finally check gunky (Dev79's own term to describe this type of ruffed up funky music) bass refix of pretty infectious funky house / 2-step'ish track by Donaeo - Party Hard cooked by Dev79. The remix is definitely heavier, deeper and I would even risk saying more "funky" than the original :)
