Glitch-Hop, Breakbeat and more broken bassmusic

This blog will not be updated anymore. Due to time-issues I will post all personal musical novelties on my personal blog about my music, projects, gigs and interesting links to mixes or new releases.. Check here: http://dje-terno.blogspot.com/

Thanks to everybody for reading, and please check the new blog once in a while :)

Vertigo: an evening with Electronics (feat. Kettel & Pete Concrete) in TAC, Eindhoven

On the 5th of February me and my two mates KingMobe and Ger Whoestwood will perform as our weird electronic hologram WhoEst. We will do a DJ-set at TAC in Eindhoven on the Electronics-evening Vertigo, organized by our friends of Adapter.

Check out the flyer above. Kettel will play a live-set and Pete Concrete will join on the decks. The evening will be completed by Ruistuin and MuRas, and a league of VJ's to complete the trip.

Gig at NYE 2010 and mix from me

I will be playing a gig in my hometown Eindhoven (NL) on NYE. The party will be held in TAC (www.tac.nu). Me and my homies (www.adapter.nu) will host the Tuinzaal in the building and we will bring an evening with several livesets by Psykiatrisk, Ekman and Bliksm. I will play a DJ-set at the start of the evening and in between the livesets. Check www.tac.nu for details about the evening.

Recently i recorded a mix for the people of Adapter, a music- and art-collective from my hometown. It is a mix with an acid-theme, starting with a bit of experimental/IDM, evolving through breakbeat and electro to techno. You can download it here. Tracklist below.

Overdue album alert: Mr. Rogers - licking crystals

I am way too late all over this one. The album came out in October, but it is so good that i still want to feature it here. This album squirks and bleeps with warped bass-sounds and glitched-out beats. I always like the tracks from Mr. Rogers. They remind me of times when i licked the crystals :)

If you are into glitchHop and breakbeat, check this one out. Features the best of both worlds on midtempo-speed.

Album Alert: Mimosa - Silver Lining

Mimosa has been pushing the West Coast sound for quite a while now. He shared the stage with artists like Flying Lotus, Benga, Skream, Rusko, Datsik, Glitch Mob, ill.gates and Bassnectar, and played on famous night like Burning Man, Coachella and the Low End Theory.

He dropped his new album 'Silver Lining' in October, but i just got hold of it a bit late. It's a mixture between head-nodding hiphop-beats with some dubstep-influences, just hot enough to keep you moving and toe-tapping, mixed with laidback synths and warm melodies. This 9-track-masterpiece is released on Muti Music, and can be purchased through the mighty Addictech. Don't miss this, Bros and Sistaz.

New album alerts.

Lazer Sword's self-titled debut-album will drop on the 2nd novembre on Innovative Leisure Records. I talked about this duo a couple of times on here, because their sound is quite unique. The new album features tracks for the dancefloor, as well as sounds for the headphones on your couch. Think hip-hop, electro, synths and 8-bit...

Glitch-Hopper Vibesquad has released his new album 'The Fire' last week. This partyhead with the best bassface in the world continues his bass-heavy hip-hop-excursions. The album can be listened and purchased from his bandcamp.

Breakbeat-heroes from down-under Karton will drop their album on the Sound of Habib-label on the 8th of November. It's called 'For all seasons' and will feature a diverse bunch of tracks, which are featured in a mini-mix. This short mix can be listened here.

Breakbeat-stompers BSD will drop their first album on Mental Machine Muzik on the 1st of november. The bastard-child is called 'Malditos Bass-Star-Dos'. The masked duo has strong influences of the nuskool-breakbeat music that was strong in the beginning of this decade. The album can be heard in a short form in a mini-mix. This can be found here.

Sneak preview of the new Tipper album: Broken Soul Jamboree

The new Tipper-album 'Broken Soul Jamboree' is due to be released the 5th of November. I will review it here when it is out. For now, enjoy yourself with a 36-minute-mix of all the tracks. Check it out on his Soundcloud and leave a comment if you like.

Grungestep Compilation

One of the regulars on the Glitch Hop Forum (Mr StrangeFlow) started a thread about fusing Grunge-tracks (remember alternative rock in the beginning of the 90's?) with Glitch-Hop or other broken beats. People were enthousiastic about it, and it took some time to finish, but now it's finally here.

Some well-known producers, and other upcoming artists did their best to give the originals a big bad bass-infusion for the dancefloor. The release can be downloaded from the following bandcamp-link:

You can pay whatever you like. Give those hard-working Grunge-fans some respect by paying them for it.

I was a bit worried at first about fusing two very distinctive styles of music in one blend, but the results are very refreshing so to say. Everybody will have their favourite, there was so many good music back in these days, hard to pick a favourite for me.. Please check this release and WHOOMP to the good old rockdays. It's worth every chosen penny.

Psychedelic breakbeats from Hedflux

Producer Hedflux is on the forefront of the psy-breaks subgenre within the breakbeat-scene. He has been producing and DJ-ing that style in the last years with success. He is now busy with remixing the forthcoming tune from Mike Hulme on U&A Records.

Lazer Sword mixtape. For those who share the love for the magnificent 808!

The mighty Lazer Sword, who will be dropping their debut-album very soon, provided us with a mix, which consists of tracks, using the mighty 808 drumcomputer. It is their way of showing love for the machine which is a basic element of a great amount of contemporary and classic electronic music. Think of electro, breakdance, hiphop and acid,`and you will think '808'.

The mix is a bit different than their usual robotic beats-affair, but don''t let this refrain you from listening to it. Keep an eye an their site for the release of their album and accompanying singles. To keep you busy until that day, download the 808-mix HERE.

Eprom's new mixtape...

Yo bassheads, below is a link to the new RobotSex-mixtape from great producer Eprom from the US of A. He writes GlitchHop as well as DubStep, and played in Utrecht (Holland) last month. He released with Eskmo on Warp Records, so what more to say...

This mix is filled with a lot of his new stuff, upcoming bits and pieces. It's so fresh, it even lacks a tracklist :)

A new mix from Vent. A big bassline attack...

VENT are Sam Ashwell (Abstrakt Knights) and Dan Havers (DC Breaks). They started the project Vent in 2008, with the purpose of fusing different styles and tempos with one common ground, a dirty bassline. I loved their tracks from the last years, and enjoyed the recording of their sets at Breakspoll and Glade.

The new mix they recorded this summer shows the diversity of the project. Tracks which make you want to jump around and remind of sunny summer festivals.

Subvert live @ Shambhala Festival 2010

This is a mix not to be missed. Subvert did a great show on this year's Shambhala Festival. Delivering his sound on a big PK Sound System, bringing the best in Glitch-Hop, Acid Crunk and Dubstep. Turn up the speakers and let your ears bleed...

The Glitch Mob- Drink The Sea part 2 : the mixtape

The famous Glitch Mob, consisting of the three producers Boreta, Ooah and Edit, have released a great new mixtape, consisting of most of the songs of their album 'Drink the Sea', mashed up with a lot of famous samples from contemporary rap/hiphop-music. The result is a banging mix, which in my humble opinion is more uplifting than the original album.

They have been touring Europe extensively in the last months and are now back in their home USA to tour some more. Catch them live if you can, it's always a treat.

Anodyne Industries - The Combat Singles

I received two heavy tracks from Aaron King's alias Anodyne Industries. He is residing in the SF Bay Area since 2009, and has released several tracks and was featured on a couple of label-compilations.

For his latest two-track release , The Combat Singles, he has raised the bar once again for explorations of a combination of lush melodies combined with heavy bass and tight beats. Both tracks are on a midtempo-groove. The first track 'BassMech' is a tight and crispy track with a lot of peaktime potential. This should drive a bass-hungering dancefloor wild. The second track 'Decibomb' is on a even heavier tip, with rolling beats reminding of techy drum and bass (while being midtempo), and a lot of bass mayhem. Still both tracks keep a relaxed vibe as well, fueled by the use of synth-sounds and/or vocal-samples. The whole EP sounds high-level and full of detail. It's crafted with intelligence.

Summer-mix by Afghan Headspin (breakbeat)

The guys from breakbeat-duo Afghan Headspin are blessing us with a summermix for 2010. The guys are in the breaks-scene for a long time, releasing tracks on big labels like Against The Grain, Rocstar, Broke, and through their own label Valium. Their sound is situated on the heavier side of breakbeat. Rolling beats with nasty sounds, without losing touch with melody. Check it out for a slamming hour...

B Phreak - X static (Afghan Headspin rmx)

Aggresivnes - agony (Afghan Headspin rmx)

DJ Mutiny - tell you something (Afghan Headspin rmx)

Pixel Fist - roc 2 the rhythm

Ben & Lex - makaton VIP

Afghan Headspin - bad selection (Mars rmx)

Mindflow - switched

We Bang - smash the floor

Herve - blaze it

Rack n Ruin - soundclash

Rusko - kumon kumon

Doctor P & Flux Pavillion - stinkfinger

Afghan Headspin - total recall

Dreadzone - yeah man (Warrior One rmx)

Benga - little bits

10 tracks in 10 weeks by Mike Monday

I stumbled on this funny track from Mike Monday which is the first part of his ten-week-marathon of releasing a track every week. It will be available as a free download for a limited time, so be quick.

His first track is a funny hip-hop track with a funky acid-bassline and several Hello-samples. Good way to break the week. Check it out below. You can follow Mike on his crazy expedition here.

New tracks/mixes to check from some members of the Glitch Hop Forum.

I frequently read and post on the Glitch Hop Forum (check the link on the right...). I listened to some tracks and mixes which the regular posters and producers there created in the last months. I came across some great tracks, which should be checked. Click on the name of the track to listen or download, and take a minute to show some love for these hardworking people!

First of all a mix from one of the founding members of the Glitch Hop Forum, Ill-esha. With a slew of celebrated releases on Muti Music, Haunted Audio, Car Crash Set, and new label Woofer Cookers already behind her, ill-esha is currently gearing up for the launch of her forthcoming debut album - out very soon on Daly City Recordings. Despite a packed summer touring schedule, ill-esha was kind enough to find the time to record this 30 minute mix of futuristic hip hop and bass-heavy crunk 'n' B exclusively for Made In Glitch. Grab it here.

Intro: Starkey - Neck Snap
ILL-ESHA -> RISKY RUTABAGA (Woofer Cookers)

Outro: Toro Y Moi - Thanks Vision

Citrus is the musical alias of Gabriel Melchor, a DJ and producer hailing from Denver, CO, with a diverse range of styles encompassing everything from ambient downtempo to glitch hop. He has put some nice remixes of several artists on his Soundcloud, but i chose his last original track to put on here. This track has a nice clear sound, and smooth bass-sounds on a pounding hiphop-beat. Click here to listen or download the track.

The last track i will put here today is a very melodic track by +verb. I frequently see new tracks from him on the Glitch Hop Forum. The track Ginormous Bliss caught my attention because of the smooth summerish melody, accompanied by deep bass, and a slow beat. Perfect soundtrack for a walk through the sun... Listen to it here.

New E.P. from 'Orbital - don't stop me / the gun is good'

Legendary grandmasters of electronica, Orbital have just released their first new material since 2004. ‘Don’t Stop Me’ and ‘The Gun is Good’ are released on 20th June through iTunes and through all other digital retailers and as a Limited edition 12” on 27th June.

These tracks represent the signature Orbital sound, with hints of new elements, and definitely a few surprises, signifying a band still at their creative peak, 20 years since the release of their breakthrough debut single, ‘Chime’.

Interview, free track and crispy mix by I.D.

Lovers of breakstep, dubstep, ragga and breakbeat should all have come across this producer/DJ's name the last years. Sometimes together with Baobinga, or just on his own, he wrote some big tunes and a brilliant album in the last year or so.

He did an interview with K-Mag, and makes us happy with a summermix and a free download of the VIP-version of his recent track 'Mustang'. If you like your bass-music on this freaky friday, read and listen to this baaaadman (WHOOMP!)

What is Glitch-Hop? This is taken from Afromonk's blog. Thanks for taking the time to define the undefinable...

Bil Bless - life mechanism 2

At last the bass-creator Bil Bless (also known as The Disciple Grin, SOTEG, and half of Skeetaz) throws his second part of the 'Life Mechanism 'EP into the world. His sounds cannot be named by one style. Floating somewhere between Glitch Hop, Breakbeat and Downtempo he carefully crafts beautiful bass-melodies on crunchy beats.

It can be downloaded by paying whatever you like through his account on bandcamp.com. Check it out here, and give this man some serious support, because his bass-creations are just beautiful.

Great mix from Kat1lyst & Pressha - Partners in Grime 3 (Dubstep-Drumstep-Glitch/Midtempo)

My next recommendation here is the mix which I found on the wonderful Glitch Hop Forum (view my links-section). A mix ranging from Dubstep to Glitch-Hop/Midtempo. A diverse mix with some smooth and wonky summertracks. Download here and check out soundcloud.com/pressha for some older mixes he and Kat1lyst did. They all rock...

E-terno @ WEI, Eindhoven 2009

I recorded a mix with some older breakbeat-recors some time ago. I had some good response on this one, so i thought i will just blog it here as well. Consists of some breakbeat-classics with an electro-twist. Download it here.

Welcome to the fabulous world of Glitch-Hop, Breakbeat and related bouncy broken bass-music!!!

Hello!! I first want to introduce myself. I am a music-addict and DJ from the Netherlands, who has been playing breakbeat-music and related music-styles for several years now. I experience that there are not much blogs or websites in my regions about Glitch-Hop. Breakbeat and other broken beat music.

In this blog i cannot add all the information available because this is just too much. I just would like to share the mixes i found which are interesting, some interesting facts, new artists which i like, and more selected useful things about these wonky music-styles.

I hope you will enjoy it!!! And big upz to all the DJ's, artists , promoters and other scene-pushers who make it all so much fun!!!
