Pretty Lights, real name Derek Vincent Smith, is an American electronic music artist from Fort Collins, Colorado. Since July 2010, Adam Deitch has assisted during live performances. The name comes from a Pink Floyd concert poster that read "Come and watch the pretty lights!". His tracks are hip hop orientated electronic tunes, but more recently they have added a few dubstep wobbles to the mix. Enjoy!

ZEDS DEAD - COFFEE BREAK/REMIXES **DUBSTEP**



Fabienne: Whose motorcycle is this?
Butch: It's a chopper, baby.
Fabienne: Whose chopper is this?
Butch: It's Zed's.
Fabienne: Who's Zed?
Butch: Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead. But Zeds Dead also refers to Zack and Dylan. Two electronic/dubstep producers who hail from Toronto and Ontario, Canada. The pair have been together since 2004 and have recently received recognition for their works through DJ sets from Rusko, Diplo and Bassnectar. Kissy Sellout and Skream were two of the first to take notice of the duo, featuring their remix of Blue Foundation's "Eyes on Fire" on their radio shows, BBC Radio 1 and Rinse FM respectively. Now get on the fucking chopper and lets end this scene.

POGO - HarryPotter/Hook/Alice/Pixars UP/WillyWonka


Nick Bertke is an Australian. He is from Perth, he is a sampler and he gets people to call him Pogo. The difference between him and other samplers is that he picks a theme and runs with it for an entire EP. He started off with Disney movies and has since grown to anything that tickles his fancy. His ability to mash up samples is quite amazing and each song achieves a melodic ambiance that really captures the theme he is running with. Early themes such as Hook and Alice in Wonderland showcase his madness.




Pogo - Alice by Syxxia


After moving onto sampling Harry Potter his notoriety grew to where he was commissioned by Pixar themselves to sample their then up and coming animation UP. This no doubt helped his previous songs with Disney as soon after all samples were cleared and he started selling his work.

RATATAT


It was Christmas of 2007 and my love affair with Hypemachine steered my interest towards this distinctive electronic band. Checking their touring list i was disgusted to find that they had played Electric Picnic festival just a few months earlier. No matter, i thought, they'll be back again no doubt. No such luck. They've flown over Ireland for 3-4 European tours and seem quite content to hob nob with the French and Germans. You know, "Europeans".


New York natives Evan Mast and Mike Stroud have gone the Daft Punk and Justice route of electronic music making. Identify a sound and mold in into the veins of your music. Using a set up of a synth and electric/bass guitars hooked up to effects, they've stretched their sound to 4 albums with a surprisingly fresh feel each time. A tough feat but the duo are clearly comfortable in their creations.

*** DUBSTEP COMPILATION TWO ***

MOAR DUBSTEP. MOAR!! Wob to this amazing new track from Skrillex and accompanying video which gives more that a little nod to Chris Cunningham (of Aphex Twin music videos fame). Not bad for a former post-hardcore rocker. Enjoy.

Dub has several releases out and is also heavily into production and teamed up with long time friend SIRIUS to release "A Crossworlds" a very mature Dubstep Album & Flower Fairy's album "Nursery Gryme".  (Words from ConvoyUnltd)

Royksopp - Happy Up Here


 After 2001's debut album 'Melody A.M.' sold a million copies, and the acclaimed sequel 'The Understanding' paved the way to further success, the duo of Svein Berge and Torbjorn Brundtland, announce the release of their new album this spring. Preceding the album comes first single 'Happy Up Here.' The second or so of laughing sets the single out for you. The title of the track is spot on. It's happy music with joyful vocals. I'm not totally won over by some of the vocal work towards the end of the track, it's a bit whispery and the change of pace doesn't totally fit with the awesome electro backing but overall it's a great return for the Norwegians. Full of energy, the short track is over before you know it and could honestly benefit from an extra minute or so.

Coldcut & Hexstatic - Timber


Coldcut are Matt Black and Jonathan More. Together they set up the Ninja Tune label in 1990 which now has over 80 signed acts. This song (and video) was composed and put together with on of their signed groups Hexstatic (Stuart Warren Hill & Robin Brunson). This award winning video was one of the first to use video splicing to fit the music. Combined with an amazing track, it epitomizes Ninja Tune and shows exactly why they are the UKs leading trip hop and electronic label. Enjoy.

The Subs - Mitsubitchi / The Subs Vs The Party Harders - The Pope Of Dope


THE SUBS - MITSUBITCHI


THE SUBS V THE PARTY HARDERS - THE POPE OF DOPE

Double post today. The Subs are a Belgian electronic group on Dr Lektroluvs record label. They consist of 3 members whose names you probably cannot pronounce. Jeroen De Pessemier, Wiebe Loccufier and Highbloo....who is also a part of The Party Harders. After hits like "Fuck That Shit", they put together the synth line gem that is Mitsubitchi. Its infectious. This however is not on any album, its an EP only song. Not that that matters but their 08 debut album was good enough to grab my attention without it. And i like that sort of stuff. Their new album was scrapped and they had to start again when one of the band members left his laptop in his car and the car was, of course, broken into. Why they had everything in one place, no one will ever know. No word on what make of car he had though. The second tune is a collaboration with Highbloos other group, The Party Harders. I know nothing about them. I dont even know what is being said in the song but the general gist is taking drugs I assume. The video is a cracker. I could point out the obvious and tie this song back into the first one, but i wont. Enjoy

Bonobo - Kong


 

Bonobo has been an active artist on the Ninja Tune label since joining in 2000. He has has released 4 albums to date. Bonobo has evolved from a sample-based producer to touring with a live band, (comparable to Cinematic Orchestra on the same label)....a common trend among electronic artists these days it seems. The song above, Kong, comes from his latest album "Black Sands" and stuffs breakbeats, groovy basslines and samples into its 3:57 timeline (there's some jazz in it too). The album is as laid back as the man himself, Simon Green, who took a leisurely 4 years to put this album together and im guessing it wasn't an intensive 4 years as the chillout album would testify. One thing's for sure, he has found a knack for atmospheric multi-layered tunes that are as short as they are sweet. Enjoy.
