Felicity - Phantom of the Dub


About a week ago, we introduced Felicity and his wicked bad "Cough Up The Dough," which received an equally wicked response. We're back with more from the upcoming producer tonight, a dubstep track called "Phantom of the Dub" that won Insomniac's Discovery Project: Escape From Wonderland! contest and earned him a spot at the Wide Awake Art Car Discovery Stage a few months back. It's a very impressive production indeed, a well deserved win in my opinion. Check it out below and be sure to pick up the free download.

Megabass Def - Génome Légende


A little over a week ago we got our first glimpse at the French producer Megabass Def with his fun monologue tune "Dirty French." What we've got from him today takes an entirely route, with a translucent air to it and a catchy hook sample. Check it out below and pick up the free download if you're feeling it.

IHC Presents: OFF/CNTR w/ Jimmy Edgar + Addison Groove + Grenier + Sodapop @ Los Globos 2/2/13 [Upcoming Event + Tickets On-Sale]


Our friends over at IHeartComix have quite the lineup to kick off their first OFF/CNTR 2013 event this Saturday February 22nd. They've rounded up the likes of Jimmy Edgar [Hot Flush|Warp|Berlin] + Addison Groove [50Weapons|Tectonic|UK] + Grenier [Tectonic|Frite Nite] + Sodapop [Anticon] to perform at Los Globos. We've been spinning Jimmy Edgar's recent productions with Machinedrum under the creative alias, Jets, on a handful of recent Dank Radio episodes. For those of you who saw the Disclosure b2b Skream Boiler Room set that was Jets [Jimmy Edgar + Machinedrum] who did the set right before them. I wish I knew if Addison Groove's set is going to be LIVE or DJ. I guess you're going to have to go to find out. You can get your tickets here. Many thanks to Steve and the whole IHC crew for their ticket giveaway to this event on our Dank Radio broadcast titled Oneness. Click below to try out some music treats.

Jon Deke - Accro


Ah, yes. Good ol' fashioned bouncy electro/house. Remember the days of Crookers? (I can't believe I just said that.) God I hope you do. Although, if you don't, this will be a treat. If you do indeed, this will put a smile on your face just like it did mine. Hats off to our new friend Jon Deke for reminding us of just how fun electro can be. We'll be hearing more from him soon, but for now let's enjoy the shit out of "Accro," available below to stream and download.

Tiger La - Deadly Rhythm


I'm super excited about this one! Everyone prepare yourselves for Tiger La. We first got a glimpse at her talent when we heard Bobby Green's "Velvet Queen," a track which she provided stellar anthem vocals to. Shortly after premiering that track here, we received a submission from her. My face lit up as I hadn't been able to find much more from her until then. After a few emails and a somewhat tricky international phone call, I got ahold of the Londoner and now I'm happy to introduce her to you all. Tiger La is a name you're going to remember.

We'll be sharing more of her music as we go along but let's start things off with her Lux produced "Deadly Rhythm." She calls it "the fruit of honest, soul-searching writing," and the track alludes to Tiger La's experience as a young dreamer in the big city and the arrogance of her youth. Her lyrics, inspired by scraps of her poetry and daydreams, explore the malaise of a generation and her vulnerability in love.

Check out the stream and pick up the download below. And definitely tell us your thoughts in the comment section at the bottom of the page. Whose voice does hers remind you of? I know my answer to that question, but I'm curious if anyone says the same.
