[Future Bass] Zeds Dead x NGHTMRE – Frontlines feat. GG Magree (Kid Froopy Remix)

Zeds Dead x NGHTMRE
Frontlines (ft. GG Magree) [Kid Froopy Remix]

As a part of the official Frontlines Remix EP, Kid Froopy‘s take on the Zeds Dead x NGHTMRE single has been released. Available on digital services through Deadbeats, this future bass flip is just the groovy tune you need for your digital library.

Kid Froopy is a name you need to know if you don’t already. He’s been on our radar for some time and now he’s being officially commissioned by some of the biggest names in dance music, so if that doesn’t sway you, then maybe this remix will. It’s a bit more straightforward than KF’s usual works, but this sound is right in his wheelhouse. On an EP with the likes of Habstrakt, Wuki, Megalodon and Crankdat, it would be hard to stick out, but that’s just what Kid Froopy does.

[Event Preview] BUKU Music & Arts Project March 10-11

buku2017-4x6

Every city in America has its own music scene, but in New Orleans, music is a way of life – a cultural infrastructure as essential to the city as its freeways and French Quarter. Jazzfest attracts the best in rock, folk and jazz to NOLA each year, but for those of us who want more youthful, visceral music and a more colorful, fluid experience, BUKU Music and Arts Project goes down on March 10-11, 2016 for the sixth year straight.

BUKU stands out in a saturated music festival market both for its timing (arguably the first big event of “festival season”) and it’s consistently nuanced lineup. No one is reinventing the wheel by stacking their lineup with hip-hop, indie, and dance music, but whom are you booking specifically? It takes balls and creativity to craft a card of eclectic, forward-thinking and often experimental artists like what BUKU has assembled. Where else can you see Deadmau5 and Travis Scott? Clams Casino and Troyboi? Shiba San and Thundercat? If you’ve answered, “I can see them at Festival XYZ,” it doesn’t matter, because that’s not in New Orleans.

BUKU is set just outside the city’s French Quarter on a sprawling riverside esplanade. The Power Plant stage is adjacent to the river and sits in the shadow of an abandoned industrial colossus. Two indoor stages diversify the vibe with The Ballroom offering an intimate aesthetic, and the Float Den serving as a massive gathering spot lined with Mardi Gras floats and craft vendors. A fourth stage, the Back Alley, is tucked beneath the Crescent City Connection bridge and offers an unbroken stream of dance music all day and into the night.

[Future Bass] Zeds Dead x NGHTMRE – Frontlines (feat. GG Magree)

Zeds Dead meets NGHTMRE; it’s great, what would you expect? Their collaboration on “Frontlines” may not be what you expect stylistically, but it will pass any set of expectations of quality. Furthermore, GG Magree lends her lovely vocals to the mix to really make this single a memorable one.

“Frontlines” has the usually heavier acts going future bass. Really though, these acts can succeed at anything they put their minds to, as they have already proved in the past. “Frontlines” has the iconic soaring synths that really stick out within the genre, but aren’t so easy to come by. Some producers can’t nail the anthemic feel that should come with them, but that is not lacking one bit in “Frontlines.” Released through Deadbeats, “Frontlines” is currently available for purchase at the digital store of your preference.

[Electronic] DIVERSA – Of The Mysterious Voice (EP Review)

Among the countless electronic music producers of today, music fans repeatedly encounter artists lending styles to and from one another. From the massive build up and drops of major EDM artists, to the ever growing adaptation of future bass by up and coming artists, setting oneself apart as a musician is arguably more difficult now than ever.

Thanks to a multitude of recent releases by Daktyl`, Skrux, and Obesøn, listeners have grown accustomed to high quality, genre blending music from the successful Hegemon label, pushing an already progressive-thinking music scene further. Last week we were unexpectedly graced with the release of fellow Hegemon label mate Diversa’s latest EP, “Of the Mysterious Voice”.

The five track EP, released via his newly minted affiliation in London-based Inspected (home to talented artists Gemini and Zeds Dead) is a beautiful, thought-provoking collection of tunes loosely termed as drum and bass. Continue reading

[Future/House] Zeds Dead & Oliver Heldens – You Know

Zeds Dead & Oliver Heldens
You Know (Original Mix)

At its base, future house evolved as a genre when it drew from the elements of established genres like funk, deep house, tech-house, disco, and many more. Oliver Heldens saw the lack of groove in big room music when developing his trademark style and saw a possibility for it to be combined with house to be suitable for the main stage. Zeds Dead, on the other hand, have played a monumental role in the development of harder dance music styles and have released tracks of too many genres to count. When we heard they collaborated on a track, we immediately speculated as to what it could sound like.

The musical baby of Zeds Dead and Oliver Heldens, “You Know,” rides the coat tails of the future house movement but exudes a special charm. The Dutch young gun and Canadian producers keep listeners on the their toes as they guide a future funky house train that contains various components of drum n bass, cheery synth dabbles, and scraping bass snarls. Overall, “You Know” presents a combination of the best of both artists and sets both Oliver Heldens and Zeds Dead for massive 2015.

ZEDSDEAD
Shut Up & Sing V2.0 v Greta Svabo Bech

Zeds Dead.

These two Canadians have been taking over the music scene for the past four years and are not stopping anytime soon. There sound is immediately recognizable and on the same said uniquely individual. The boys are renowned for their heavy beats and memorizing electronic melodies. With their latest release “Shut Up & Sing”, the duo take their music one step further and breath a slow tantalizing breath into every listener’s lungs.

Remember that stunning voice that tickled your eardrums in Deadmau5’s “Raise Your Weapon”? Well she is Scandinavian singer Greta Svabo Bech. She and Zeds Dead met and realized they were both huge fans of one another and so, they planned to work together. Greta sent ZD this song and the guys knew immediately this was what they would collab on. “Shut Up & Sing’ is about feeling trapped in a situation and finally working up the courage to do something about it, even if you don’t know what you’re gonna do,” Greta explains. “Zeds Dead’s version of the song really hits this message home. The energy, the melodies – it’s powerful.

And powerful does not even begin to describe everything this song carries.
