Hey there everyone! Before I begin, Nativity’s brought to my attention that we’ve been getting more readers from the UK, France, Germany, and Russia. So thank you guys for checking us out and on behalf of the Dank Radio family, we hope you join us more every week for something different from each of us. Also, be sure to check out our most recent Dank Radio broadcast with an exclusive hip-hop mix by dubstep producer Jakwob!
Dank Radio - King's Day Buffet (1-15-11) by dankradio
With that said, here’s another week of Infrasonics and I’d like to start off by featuring a release made by my cousin who goes by Rally J.
Rally J - Caution (album) [Listen and download at http://rallyj.bandcamp.com/album/caution]
Rally J makes chiptunes (8-bit music) using an original Nintendo Game Boy with LSDJ, which is pretty much a music workstation for the Game Boy platform. I really dig the fact that they sound like the soundtrack for a video game, but at the same time, very danceable. Check out this and his other release and feel free to download them!
Fabricated - Pinay Catfight
So here’s a track that I finished last week. What I have posted here isn’t a completely finished version, but it’s close enough. I’m currently working on a 174 BPM drumstep version in addition to a remix for a friend of mine in San Diego, CA. I might include all 3 of these in a release soon on bandcamp or something. Check out the track and let me know what you think!

Late Night Alumni - It’s Not Happening (Original Mix) [Purchase: Beatport | Juno]
This track came out a few days ago and being a fan of Late Night Alumni, I had to check this one out. “It’s Not Happening” starts out with some reverse samples, and then some cymbals and a synth kick in, and right when the vocals come in, a shuffling garage beat and a discrete yet deep bassline come in and that’s where it gets me. Also, check out the Kaskade mix too if you’re into progressive house.
Merce - Memories [Purchase: Beatport | Juno]
Here’s another track with a garage beat on it that I stumbled upon looking at the new tracks that came out this week. Very relaxing and ambient sounding with some Burial-esque drums and sampling. I recommend checking out the other track on this release, Watchtower, which is equally as relaxing with a dubstep beat, some really deep bass, and what I take to be a smooth and sexy saxaphone sample drowned in reverb in the back.
George Fitzgerald - Don’t You [Purchase: Juno]
Being a fan of anything Hotflush Recordings releases, this just came out today and when I heard it, I felt that I should post this up. I really dig the vocal sample every few beats along with the chilled out beat and fat bassline underneath those drums. Highly recommend if you were digging the last two tracks I posted along with artists like Joy Orbison, Scuba, or Breakage.
Jakes - Claw [Puchase: Juno | Bleep]
All I really have to say about this track can be summed up in two words – HUGE DROP! Crank up the bass for this one! Massive bassline, sick top line coming in around a minute, and really punchy reverberated drums will give you your daily dose of filth. If you’re a fan of Skream, Benga, or basically anything dark, heavy, and filthy, I highly recommend this track.
