Funerals and Banks? Doesn’t sound very appealing.. but don’t let the name fool you! Mindelixir’s new concept compilation remix album (recompilalbum?), obscurely titled Music for Funerals and Banks, deals the freshness through heavy doses of bass. As what might be described as “Nu Bass”, this compilation digs deep with some of North America’s hottest up and coming talent. The sheer size of it can only be described as “massive”, with originals from names such as Mindelixir, Axiom Crux, Charlie P, and Ghetto Sexuual, and remixes from the likes of Mochipet, Leo123 (half of Dark Party with Eliot Lipp), Splatinum, and quite a few others.

From funky to downright grimey, this compilation takes us on a journey that winds through the towering halls of dubstep past, littered with video game sounds and resonating wobbles. Twenty-one tracks ensure that there’s something for everyone, from spankin’ bangers to groovin’ “headphones” tracks. Mindelixir shot us over a couple exclusives just for you Bwompers, so snag them and make sure to go grab the whole compilation on Beatport.

As a resident of Los Angeles, Stephan Jacobs has quickly made a name for himself within the glitch hop communities, traveling nationwide to dish out the crunkadelic bass to many unsuspecting patrons. His collaborative project with Ruff Hauser, aptly named Kether, has landed Stephan worldwide recognition, including releases with Muti Music (go check out their dope new website!), and most recently, inclusion in the International Bass Biscuits Compilation via Mambo Records. Psyphy basslines layered with intricately laid glitches

The Los Angeles glitch-hop/crunk-bass scene is on the up-and-up! Lots of bigness coming out of SoCal these days, from the sea to the sand. With folks like Low End Theory and The Do Lab (and of course, BWOMP!) doing their thing, LA has grown to be a haven for all types of bass addicts and suppliers. And well, we’ve got a fresh dose from some LA local dealers..

As one of the true up-and comers in the glitch-hop scene, Sugarpill spills delicious beats soaked with funky, glitched out synths and twisting sounds. His recent momentum is staggering, blasting off initially with a remix on Mochipet’s Master P On Atari Transformed Vol.2. Since then, he’s put a free bootleg EP (which you can read about here), as well as played shows for The Do Lab, BWOMP, and a slew of others.

Most recently, his Flow Goggles EP was released as an Addictech Exclusive via Daly City Records. It’s a tripped out ride through the wobbleverse, where people speak MIDI and landscapes are created with glitched out symphonies. To get us ready, he released a new collab he did with ChrisB, another LA-er you should keep your eyes peeled for! Scope it below, then head on over to Addictech and pick up Sugarpill’s Flow Goggles!

Not even sure what to say about this video. It’s strangely trippy and ethereal, while still being a bit twisted and mildly disturbing. Regardless, very epic! Can’t wait for Eskmo’s release on Ninja Tune, due out in October.
