MAY 23 2010 We taking on 2010 in full force and now its time for Glasgow's first lady of bass to drop her new 'G41' single, featuring a remix by the mighty Rustie!!! Right now this single is available exclusively from Bleep and it'll be everywhere on May 31st! 8Bitch (aka Maya Medvesek) has been gaining a steady buzz, with recent features in FACT Magazine, The Wire, MixMag and Rcrd Lbl, not to mention that the female characters for the video game 'DJ Hero' were modeled after the mixing/scratching motions of 8Bitch! Look out for her upcoming releases on Svetlana Industries and Fortified. 'G41' is a tropically twisted beat maze that slithers and slides around techy filtered synths and yet all comes together with a fun DJ-friendly arrangement! 8Bitch has been known to roll with the LuckyMe and Numbers crews and its no surprise that highly acclaimed producer, Rustie, steps up to the plate with his unique reinterpretation of 'G41.' Rustie has been on fire with his recent remixes for Crookers ft. Kelis and Various Production, here he takes the sounds of the original and gives them his signature aqua-crunk twist, with some almost rock-like sensibilities coming through as well. Listen to the tracks on the Player below! APRIL 24 2010 On Monday 4/26 SDUK's head bangin' beat and sick synthline mayhem finally hits the digital front. Supported by a bonkers lineup of remixes which take the original in all kinds of great directions. Kickin' off the remixes we gots the unrelenting barrage of head nod beats from Cali's NastyNasty (Made in Glitch), then Sheffields' Grievous Angel (Keysound) drops dark n' tropical garage that is sure to make you gyrate, Dev79 and Seattle's Thrills (Sub Philo) team up for a bassy thumper with dubbed vocal cuts and UK funky undertones, goin' straight for the dancefloor is the Bmore club version from Scott Matelic (Crossfaded Bacon), and closing it out we have the wonky shoegaze sounds of St Louis' Phaseone. Check out the tunes on the Player below! And then hit the "Download" button for purchase links! APRIL 5 2010 Fresh off the 12" vinyl release in February, we're dropping the digital remix single of Numan's massive dubstep tune "Skull Crusher" - with remixes which take the source material off into a wide variety of styles and vibes. On the remix front we have Toronto's Bombaman (Mad Decent, Badman Press) dropping a surefire club stomper that feels like percolator meets UK funky! Then we flip to the dark n' grimey street rap of CapricornOne (El Carnicero and emcee Elucid) with a full on vocal version! And to finish off there's the tripped out dubstep meets IDM ponderings of M80 Dubstation (Jon Gutwillig of the Disco Biscuits side project). Take a listen on the Player below!

BUY IT NOW AT THESE SPOTS: HMV Boomkat Juno Chemical Norman Records Slit Jockey 003 12" : Numan "Skull Crusher" / SDUK "Clunge"  
Manchester’s Numan is a hot on the rise 18 year old producer, whose tunes have been championed by the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Starkey and Oneman. December 2009 saw his debut release on Wicky Lindows with the “7th Key” single and soon he’ll have an EP out on Subdepth. Here we have his pummeling "Skull Crusher" with a huge mental drop that is sure to make the dance floor freak the fuck out. On the flipside there is no time to take a breath, as "Clunge" takes over your speakers with even more synthline mayhem. A commanding big boom swagger step that stands out as a very “now” sound. This track comes from the West London newcomer SDUK, and you can expect to hear more from him on Slit Jockey very soon. |
