Bassnectar’s popularity seems to have no bounds. He’s arguably the most well known bass music producer in the world today, and with his non stop tour schedule, it’s amazing that he has any time to for new music or upcoming projects. But the man clearly has the golden touch and this latest release is no exception. With an all-star cast of producers, each remix of “Divergent Spectrum” has a unique interpretation and sound.

Don’t take our word for it, read Lorin’s description of the release.

This pack kicks off with a collaborative remix I did with my good buddies Terravita. We traded the files of “Upside Down” back and forth for a few months, and the final master that Seth did makes this one of the loudest, wildest drops to date!

After that is a remix of “Red Step” by none other than Dim Mak’s label boss, Steve Aoki. A definitive electro house banger with a beefy halftime drop, he has been the only DJ with this weapon for a few months; now it’s yours too.

The third track comes from long-time friends and collaborators, The Glitch Mob, who took “Head’s Up” into dubstep territory, with the unmistakable glitch-bass flavor.
Up next is a collaboration with Amorphous Music artist ill.Gates who spent a few days in the Bassnectar Labs this summer building synthesizers and samplers with me in Ableton. As we worked and geeked out, we built this drum & bass version of “Voodoo”, which then became a staple of my sets for the last fall tour.

Another mix of “Voodoo” follows; this time the bastions of creativity known as Beats Antique flip the original into an antique bass version with live instrumentation and some surprises.
We decided to include the full version of “Color Storm” in this package since it was never properly released, and this rounds out the package.

We hope you enjoy!!!!

If you get a chance to see DJ Shiftee live, make sure to hop on it – he’s very fun to watch as a master of keeping you dancing and interested throughout his entire set.
 

Let me be frank: I usually despise mash-ups. I normally would rather listen to the actual songs. With DJ Hazmat, however, this is not the case. Out of Burlington, VT, Matt Weston is an up-and-coming DJ that is killing it with creative mmixes that capture the energy and tremendousness of everyone’s favorite songs in the best possible way. Energetic combinations, like Jay-Z and Flux Pavilion/ Eminem and Gramatik, are combined in a keenly simplistic manner. He can get a party going anywhere and makes the kind of mashups you can easily recognize and sing a long to. He has been very productive lately, putting out a lot of of songs on his soundcloud. Also available there are higher quality versions of the songs for anyone who wants to really blast them. Make sure to see what he has to say on twitter - he’s a funny guy as well as a great DJ!
 
I also I caught up with Mr. Weston last week to see what he had to say about being a DJ:

Dastardly: How’d you start djing? What was the beginning like for you?

DJ Hazmat: It’s kind of funny, I didn’t even listen to electronic music before college, or mainstream hip hop, or anything I play now, I was a dispatch bro, bro. But DJing was always something I was interested in but never really had the facilities to try. I got my first piece of equipment, a numark mixdeck in like november of my freshman year and taught myself on the free trial of virtual dj until actually manning up…and stealing it from the internet. I did my first legit gig in January at a fraternity party where my laptop was promptly murdered halfway through by a beer. Even with that, it was still incredible to control a party like I did, so I started taking it more seriously, upgraded my equipment and music library and have been trying to take it as far as I can since. its crazy to look back and see myself doing a party with just a laptop and a dance library of like 100 songs, probably 40 of which were deadmau5, I was nervous as f*ck too, can’t even remember how many requests I had to shoot down, but minus the whole laptop dying, it was amazing and I knew I wanted to do this for a while.

Dastardly: Why mashups? They are often really tricky to make well and it takes a creative guy to see which songs would fit well together. How’d you get into it?

DJ Hazmat:  I chose mashups to kind of bridge the gap between house and mainstream music. You can only listen to instrumental electronic music for so long before your head pops, but if it has a well known song or songs in it, it definitely gets and keeps peoples attention for a longer time. That’s ultimately what I’m trying to do at any performance, make sure the audience is interested so regardless if I’m playing my stuff or someone else’s, it’s always nice to expand the target audience to people who were like me and didn’t really listen to electronic music, and mashups do a great job of that. But also, I mean what drunk girl doesn’t want to hear LMFAO dubbed over…well over anything really? Yeah they can be tricky, but it’s also that much more rewarding when I put a song up and get someone telling me something like “they sound so good together, I would have never thought of that!” or something along those lines. It’s kind of cool to try and merge two or more things that originally were never thought to be similar and see the product work out. (i.e. midnight rizzo, can’t imagine HOV was thinking about flux pavillion when he wrote izzo.

Dastardly: What are your top 3 most played songs on your iTunes?

DJ Hazmat: Hmm currently, 1. Sweet Disposition (Axwell and Dirty South Remix) 2. Levels (Skrillex Remix) 3. Kick Out the Epic Motherfucker by Dada Life. but with all the new music I try to find, that list changes all the time.

Dastardly: What are we gonna see out of DJ Hazmat in the future?

DJ Hazmat: Alot! lots of talk about gigs in several locations, both east and west coast. I’m getting into actual electronic production so in addition to mashups there will some DJ Hazmat originals coming out in the near future. Things are looking good, but I’m not one to try and Jinx em’ so we’ll see. Hopefully everything works out because this is something i could see myself doing for a long long time.

We’re proud to present Drumsmuggla, alias of one George Ybarra aka DJ CRS? in this newest installation of the BWOMP! Mix Series.

Most LA bass heads already know that several times a year, you can catch George at “I Love LA” which he organizes with fellow jungle veteran and partner, APX-1. He also hosts “The Revolution Show,” a Monday night weekly internet radio show that, like his parties, showcases many known as well as not-so-known talent in the LA area, in addition to the Drumsmuggla himself.

A propensity for evolution has seen George in the past transition effortlessly from jungle like a boss as a testament to his adaptability and experience. On top of that he’s a nice and humble dude. Whichever name you may know him by, George remains one of the champions of the LA bass scene of the last 2 decades and this mix shows why. Contrabandit is dark, tough, and mixed with the flair of a man who knows his craft. The opening minutes quickly set the tone for the mix with a fat street bassy Starkey cut, warming up your neck muscles for the griminess that follows. After that, it’s down the dubstep rabbit hole you go.

Clearly, The Weeknd has made a big splash in 2011! His version of sexed up electronic infused R&B grabs people with musical and vocal hooks and the stripped down, sexualized synth driven productions clearly lend themselves well to remixes and the frenzy that has come after each release has only worked to fuel the fire of hype. ill-esha, Chris B. and Sugarpill most certainly hit home runs with their last batch of remixes from “House of Balloons”. With the recent release of “Echoes of Silence”, +verb had a remix that will make most producers hang up their headphones and not only that but he had it out in less than 12 hours after the release (caffeine much?). Ill-Esha and Napsty took their time (a mere few days after the release) and remixed “XO/The Host” with a future garage beat and a solid low end that will make anyone want to shake their ass. In his typical fashion, Samples takes on The Weeknd’s remake of Michael Jackson’s infamous “Dirty Diana” and adds enough saw wave brain damage to bring MJ moonwalking back from the grave.  Lord have Mercy, can I get an AMEN?!

ENJOY!

Today we’re excited to announce that Psymbionic‘s debut EP “Illusions” releases on Made In Glitch. Listeners will get a little bit of everything in this release, showcasing John’s diversity and ability to delve into different facets and landscapes of bass music. Tired of the same old, same bro, mosh-step? Then this EP is for you.

Buy “Psymbionic – Illusions EP” here

“The title track “Illusions”, featuring San Francisco MC Joe Mousepad, takes a page from UK Grime and shares some Garage energy with the more diversified “Amalgamaelstrom”. Both “Oscillating Orbs” (w/ ONE4ALL) and “Space Monkey” stylistically derive from instrumental hip hop roots, presenting engaging rhythms and shuffle. “Scooby Don’t”, a collaboration alongside A/V artist Pharo brings up the rear with heavy vibes and a spooky overtone.” – 40hz Media

Here’s a freebie mashup of Chromeo’s “Night By Night” with “Space Monkey” from the EP:
