The Animals vs. The Computers

February 4, 2012 By Ev-1 Leave a Comment

This simple but amazing remix of House of the Rising Sun by The Animals was made by a person I simply know as PURETUNE. We would love to work with this cat. The instruments used are listed on his Vimeo as follows:

“a. HP Scanjet 3P, Adaptec SCSI card and a computer powered by Ubuntu v9.10 OS as the Vocals. (hey, the scanner is old)
b. Atari 800XL with an EiCO Oscilloscope as the Organ
c. Texas instrument Ti-99/4A with a Tektronix Oscilloscope as the Guitar
d. Hard-drive powered by a PiC16F84A microcontroller as the bass drum and cymbal”

No sampling or audio effects were used to produce this.

These are our Rockstars

January 22, 2012 By Brede Leave a Comment

Bwomp Beats recently caught up with MiM0SA at his Austin,Tx gig with Vibesquad for a quick and dirty interview.

We asked him about his intro to music? How his crowds are reacting to his new heavy 808 infused album, “Sanctuary”? And if he uses a template when starting a song?

On top of sitting down with one of bass music’s youngest and hottest names, what struck us was just how fast this has all happened. Bass music and electronic music in general has simply exploded in the last few years. America has fully embraced the music. Yes, there is dubstep in commercials. Yes, Skrillex was nominated for 5 Grammys and did a song with The Doors. But underneath that all, real careers and are being made. More and more artists are playing more and more shows and the production of festivals and shows are reaching never before seen heights with record attendances happening across the country. Bassnectar, The Glitch Mob, MiM0SA, Big Gigantic, PANTyRAiD, 12th Planet, Diplo, Skrillex, Deadmau5, Nero, and the list goes on.

America – THESE OUR YOUR ROCKSTARS!

DJ Shiftee Drops Turntable Routine for Joker’s “Slaughter House”

January 6, 2012 By Psymbionic Leave a Comment

Two-time DMC World Champ DJ Shiftee is one talented motherfucker. Apart from having a slew of DJ awards under his belt and being a globetrotting producer and purveyor of bass music, he’s also a Harvard Math Graduate, and an instructor at NYU as well as Dubspot NYC. Thankfully, he’s taken some time out of his busy schedule to whip up a turntable routine using Joker’s “Slaughter House”. Combining Native Instruments‘ Traktor and Maschine, Shiftee takes a page from MPC era beat smithing and fuses it with some tasteful turntablism. Not to mention, he’s sure to keep you laughing throughout the entire video.

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.

DJs: make sure to keep an eye on the Dubspot Blog where you can find lots more tutorials as well as Shiftee’s custom Maschine mapping templates.

C2C – F·U·Y·A

December 28, 2011 By Ev-1 Leave a Comment

A pretty intricate stop-motion music video “performance” by C2C conceived by Francis Cutter and 20syl (who, along with Atom, Greem, Pfel, make up the group C2C) with director of photography Bertrand Latouche behind the lens. Each instrument and layer is represented by individual (or duplicate) performers in perfect sync with the track, so you’ll want to watch this in full screen HD to get the full effect.

If you’re interested, you can find the track on iTunes.

Block Rockin Rafik

November 21, 2011 By Ev-1 Leave a Comment

This video is nearly 2 years old now, but hell if it ain’t worth watching again and again. The creativity of turntablists + technology = feeling of inadequacy as a DJ. Rafik is the man.

Some of you may remember a Nissan commercial from 2003 where Ming and FS are recording different sounds from a Nissan Altima and at the end of the commercial you see them in the studio compile everything into a dope little beat. Well this video from JulianSmith.tv took that idea to the next level. Props to these guys. We couldn’t find that track to download, but peep what Ming and FS have been up to lately:

Beyonce -- Who Run The World (Ming Remix)

Nikki Minaj -- Massive Attack (FS Remix)

Ming + 2Beeps -- The Nutz

FS -- Touch of Klass (VIP Mix)

Bonus: “Music To Listen To” was hands down my favorite mix for a few years back in the high school days… they were just way ahead of the curve. Peep game:
