Time to get a life vs music to have weddings to by kminus1

Here is an up-beat munti genre mix by Kminus1. Take a minute to check out Kminus1 he was kind enough to share a mix with us and a little bit of info about himself. He recently did a remix of a track that was a counterfeit of a Prodigy track "http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Prodigy-The-Castbreeder/release/630459". You can check it out on Kminus1's Soundcloud account "Collapse - Junkie XL (kminus1 remix)". Kminus1 had a few things to say about himself so...

My general influences include electronica from all eras. Says Kminus1. Genres including drum & bass, break beat, big beat, dub-step, glitch, and acid house. I also enjoy elements of metal music, guitar distortion, feedback and wild drum sections! The Bristol music scene is another of my influences. Artists such as Roni Size and Massive Attack. Other musical influences include Peaches, The Hacker, Nine Inch Nails, Lemon Jelly, Daft Punk, Adam Freeland, Skull Disco, Amon Tobin, Ltj Bukem, and Photek amongst others.

More artists who've been hugely influential to me include, Tangerine Dream (Rubycon LP), Squarepusher, Fat Boy Slim, Vivaldi, Amon Tobin, Eat Static, Futures Untold, Rage Against The Machine, Nick Drake, Adam Freeland, Koma & Bones, Evil 9, Skull Disco, and The Hacker

Some non musical influences are free parties, gyrating women, and falling on the floor in a strip club. I suppose you could say, there isn't much that doesn't go into it!

I respect all the free thinking musicians out there. Those who stick to their values within music.
-Kminus1.

How to make a mash-up with Sue Teller

For those of you that are just starting or need to brush up on your skills. Here is a brief tutorial.

Resonating in to everything with Omega

Chris Cox. "A.K.A. Omega" is an extremely talented 27-year-old producer form Denver, Colorado. So far, I have liked every track this guy has made! Omega really keeps it interesting. Plus I like the way he looks at things...

But without further a due I will let him say a little something about himself.

I live in Denver, Colorado says Omega. I am inspired by music in general, it would take a year to make a complete list, so I'll just list a few of the big ones that come to mind: Shpongle, Steely Dan, Rachmaninoff, Deftones, Chromatone, Venetian Snares, Ani Difranco, Tipper, Bil Bless, and Iron Maiden. Sorta all over the place, I've always been a music junkie, and always just listened to whatever struck me as good. There are some friends of mine that have definitely helped along the way with my development as a producer: Sugarpill, Dr. Vim, Future Simple Project.

My biggest influences within the dubstep scene at the moment. 16-Bit, Nero, Vaski, Excision, Mimosa, Downlink, Bird of Prey, Nucleya, NumberNin6, Propa Tingz, and Reso... I like stuff that is dirty and aggressive, but I also like pretty, elegant stuff too. And whatever style, it's gotta be fun. Nothing ruins a scene more than when people get all caught up in their own egos, and forget about having a sense of humor and keeping shit fun.

I'm part of an artist collective, Family Moons, and we just launched a new website on which we will be doing regular live streaming broadcasts of sets by Family artists and special guests: http://www.familymoons.com/radio

also, sound-systems without sub-woofers should be outlawed.

A tsunami of sound from Sonic Tramp

How can I explain Sonic Tramp's sound? I guess it would be like, if Death Metal and Dance music got together and had children. Sonic Tramp produces powerful beat driven dance music and bass filled walls of sound.

Sonic Tramp just finished a slew of remixes. Is working on a new EP that he hopes to release next year, and is currently looking for a label to release it.

Beatboxing the bass with Red

I believe that when this was taped Red was living on the street. Hopefully he is doing better now. He definitely has talent.

Taking a moment for BRAINPAIN

Allow me to introduce you to BRAINPAIN. A 28 year old producer from Poland. BRAINPAIN has a sound with so much aggressive bass, that if given a proper sound system could possibly give you brain pain. Here are a few things you may or may not know about BRAINPAIN. Directly from the source.

I have been making music since 1995 says BRAINPAIN. I was fifteen years old when I started. I didn't even have a half way decent computer. I used a broken Amiga, headphones form a walkman, a Casio keyboard (The kind for children), and a cassette player. This was my first recording studio. Now I am working mainly with Reason, FL studio, Cubase, Ableton live, and Audition. I produce dubstep, dark heavy drum n bass, breakcore, experimental-electronica, drill and bass, down tempo, etc... Many genres with broken beats or broken bass.

So far I have released mostly drum n bass on various lables. But you can prepare to see dub step releases soon. I am the director of Dubsaw Recordings (sub-label of Mindsaw Recordings). We have many new tracks that will be hitting the clubs soon. You can expect to see releases form Culprate, Barbarix, Suspect & Switchdubs, Rakoon, Koan, Wachs Lyrical, Veelk (A.K.A. I:GOR), and many more.
-BRAINPAIN.

Getting down to the Nitty Gritty with NiT GriT

Into the grimier side of things? Then let me introduce you to Danny Beall aka. NiT GriT. This dub-step producer form San Jose, USA. Doesn't just produce bass he grabs it by the neck and strangles it to death! I could describe his music more, but I think the tracks will speak for them self's.
