H.E.N.C.H's Mensah's Sahara & More


Coming straight out of Bristol, the brainchild of Dubstep veteran Jakes, the H.E.N.C.H (Hard Earned, Never Caught Hustlin' for those that don't know) label is chock full of awesomely grimey/filthy/nasty artists like Jakes himself, the infamous Chasing Shadows, Eddie K and a more recent addition whose chunes I've REALLY been digging lately- Mensah.


Another homegrown talent, it looks like Bristol has done it again by pumping out another awesome dubstep producer. His first release Sahara came out back in September of this year and it is truly a fantastic track. Its got a catchy mid-tempo drop that maintains a beat steady enough to rap over but heavy enough to just jam out or nod your head to when you turn that sub up high.

Just gonna keep it short and share some of my favorite H.E.N.C.H releases. Savor... for these tracks are really delicious:

Jakes & Joker- 3k Lane (direct link from UhOhDisco)

Chasing Shadows- ILL (mediafire link)

Damian Marley- It Was Written (Chasing Shadows Remix) (mediafire link)

Eddie K- Who's The Hardest? (mediafire link)

Mensah- Sahara (mediafire link)

Till next time everyone, be easy. HM.

SUBvert. smpls tht dstry th dncflr.

I hate to do it again but I feel like I must... another post for an artist on Excision's Rottun Recordings out of British Columbia. I'm telling you people the guys on this label are out of this world, literally. I've already talked about the ear-splitting likes of Datsik, DZ and Excision himself and today I move to another of their comrades... Subvert. The guy is relatively new to the scene but is by no means an unknown.


His sound is chunky, chopped-up bassline goodness with some of the sickest use of popular samples that I have heard in a while (the way he weaves the Panjabi MC sample so seamlessly into Unknown Virus is pure fuckin gold, gotta love Mundian To Bach Ke). His Speaker Humpin' EP is one of my favorite dub/glitch releases of the year (I'm talking up there with Akira Kiteshi's Pinball/No Glitch EP).

So here you have it folks, my personal favorites from Speaker Humpin'... plus a couple bonuses since I mentioned them ;)

Subvert- Speaker Humpin (mediafire link)

Subvert- Unknown Virus (mediafire link)

Panjabi MC- Mundian To Bach Ke (mediafire link)

HELLA BONUS:
Akira Kiteshi- Pinball/No Glitch Part 1&2 EP (QOOY download)

till next time everyone. bE easY. HM.

sexstep?

I've seen this word, sexstep, thrown around the blogosphere lately in relation to dubstep maestro Skream... it seems that Croydon's golden child has come up with a term to describe that sensuously heavy, lustrously full-bodied sound that he has. In all honesty I kinda like it, its pretty catchy and the music it describes is simply fantastic. He used the term to describe his Chromeo remix which he released earlier this year but I think his still only-on-vinyl (I want to know why... why can't I just have the song on my itunes?) Skreamix of Show Me by VonD feat. Lady PhePhe is the real representation of "sexstep". Check it out, truly awesome- the sections with nothing but subwoofer shaking bass are eerily gorgeous and Lady PhePhe's voice is pure seduction.



So if you liked that here are a few more of my favorite Skream remixes with that signature sexstep sound:

Chromeo- Night By Night (Skream Remix) (mediafire)

La Roux- In For The Kill (Skream's Let's Get Ravey Remix)
(mediafire)

Mujava- Township Funk (Skream Remix) (mediafire)

till next time everyone, enjoy your sexstep and be easy. HM.
