In the past few years, our ears have been blessed with modern day remixes of obscure house classics. A couple weeks ago, I ran into another remix to add to this list. Admittedly, I sat on this track and refrained from posting it because I couldn’t for the life of me find a release date. [...]

I’ll be the first one to admit that I may be jumping the gun on this one—after all, this is Swamp 81 we are talking about. The London label isn’t exactly known for timely releases. Having said all of this, I just about hit my head on the ceiling when I saw the following image [...]

2011 seemed to be the year of anonymous production and a guessing game for those following the bass music scene. Whether it was putting a face to “Sicko Cell”, or if that unreleased track by Joy Orbison was called “Ellipsis” or “Source Delight”, it proved to be a year full of nameless tracks that kept [...]

Here’s an EP from an artist that has admittedly slipped under my radar, despite his tunes floating around in mixes from the likes of French Fries, Scratcha, and Sound Pellegrino. Hailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Magnum joins the music scene representing the rapidly growing sound of stripped down, bass-heavy house music. After seeing his [...]
