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.

Good god! 2010 is the year of Muti Music, wouldn’t ya say? The glitchdubcrunkhopstutterwhompchillstep label out of San Francisco, CA has been blowin’ it up haaard this year already. With only the first half of the year down, we’ve seen a lot of great stuff and I’m sure we’ve got some great stuff to look forward to! Here’s some of the great releases and artists that have caught our eye recently..

From the first that Cosmic Boogie wisped by our ear canals, we knew it was going to be a treat. When Heyoka released Marklar some months back, it signaled that Heyoka was taking his music in a new direction, exploring more hyphy and double speed variations on his signature psychedelic sound. However, some felt that it didn’t match the par that earlier releases had set when it came to depth and dynamics. But fear not! Cosmic Boogie very well could take the cake as your new favorite Heyoka album. Find Cosmic Boogie on Addictech, then download the Cosmic Boogie promo mix below!

Heyoka Cosmic Boogie Promo Mix by Muti Music

We’ve been highly anticipating this release for a number of months, and there’s no disappointment here! Siren’s take on gangster-purple-hop-whomp-step comes highly recommended. With the just the right amount of psychedelic juiciness, this EP keeps your body moving while still tantalizing your brain with complex edits and glitchiness built right in. We first got our dose of Siren almost a year ago with the “Spawn” EP, which screamed it’s way into our speakers with huge drums and crushed basslines. In the past year, Siren has refined and altered his sound, which should definitely be considered an evolution. This was one of the few releases this year that filled our iPod’s on repeat for hours and hour.. can’t recommend it enough! Cop it on Addictech, then snag Siren’s remix of Zion I’s Juicy below from the Soundcloud player.

Really glad to see these guys on Muti! Glitchy and Scratchy, also known as Bevvy Swift + The (“El”?) Mongoose, is a glitch-hop super duo hailing from BC, Canada. They first came onto our radar with the compilation of hip-hop bootlegs called “Robots Sodomizing Famous Rappers” some time ago. Since then, they’ve made a name for themselves with multiple releases, including some on the Canadian glitch hop label Woofer Cookers. The Broken Logic EP takes us on a journey through fuzzy basslines, crushed drums, and industrial synths reminiscent of the hay-days of dark trip hop. Grab Broken Logic on Addictech, and score this hilarious track by Glitchy and Scratchy called “Midgets”.

Glitchy and Scratchy – Midgets

Adam John, also known as Kid Kryptic, has been in the scene for going on 10 years. Throughout his career, he has established a great name for himself with releases on labels such as Evol Intent Recordings and Shift, as well as starting one of Arizona’s first DnB labels, known as Theoretic Records. His most recent release was also his first on Muti, showing a quite diverse side of Adam in the way of downtempo, bass heavy glitchy goodness. This EP has almost a magical feel to it.. something about the combination of dreamy synths with fat bass alongside choppy vocals and tiny percussion produces a vibrant soundscape in which to get lost in. Peep it on Addictech, and then make sure to pon the downloads of his remix of Luddy vs. Nate Doog’s “Play No Games” as well as his most recent mixtape, Laser Beam Force Field.

Make sure to scope out Muti’s Addictech store at http://mutimusic.addictech.com/, and keep your eyes peeled for Timonkey’s new release, entitled Future Perfect, which should be out toward the end of this month. Other notable releases worth checking out are: Masia One – In Di Streets, Mad Zach & R2 The Specialist – Wolf Spiders, Domain ID – Boombox Apocalypse, and Shen – Lost Hopes. But, we can’t speak for your taste! Dig deep with these guys, as they have a few years of worthy releases that still rock dancefloors to date.. trailing all the way back to the Clipping Paths compilation, featuring the talents of Kraddy, Vibesquad, Kilowatts, Ooah, Dov, Timonkey and a whole slew of others. Can’t wait what else Muti Music has in store for us this year!

SUMMER IS HERE!

This post doesn’t actually have much to do with Wesley Snipes aside from the title. On the contrary, NicoLuminous from Portland, an accomplished vocalist, beat boxer and multi-talented improvisational musician is looking pretty bright under this summer’s sun. Putting some serious Ableton skills, beatbox, and flow into a tight package, Nico’s been churning out some heat this year with some slinky shoulder poppers to put a bug in your dome. So peep here, a little west coast hip hop dub decorated with that glitch and bass:

One thing I’ve always said that makes Freddy Todd dope is his consistency, and Freddy’s been consistently pushing the utter sickness through our airspace this year and last with his driving rhythms, unpredictable synths, and overall obese-as-hell crunkness. The result is a giant BLIP on the glitch hop radar that shows Freddy Todd making waves in 2010 and hopefully dropping bombs on more cities soon. (We’re still waiting, Freddy) Anyone who’s followed us for awhile should already be familiar with this man and the label he’s signed with: Run Riot Records, who’s still got a cavalcade of crazy talented artists just lurking in the wings.

Freddy Todd – Space 5 Penthouse Suite

Freddy Todd – Grind Baby

Freddy Todd – Detroit Gets It

Look out for Freddy Todd’s upcoming release for Space 5 Penthouse Suite on Car Crash Set. It’ll be a heavy compilation of remixes of the above tracks by Mochipet, NiT GriT, ill-esha, Samples, Inaudible, and Elfkowitz. Click them for previews or peep these two below:

SPLATINUM from Seattle, WA just sent to a select number of blogs a treasure trove of remixes from their forthcoming album WE ARE SPLATINUM on Daly City Records coming on 4/20/10.

We got an exclusive remix of their track ‘Pumping Quarterz’ by our friendly neighborhood dinosaur, Mochipet. This track is the LARGENESS and it comes to no surprise that the buildups are as epic as the nasty drops, and the synths twist their way into the side of your face in true Mochipet fashion. Well done, SPLATINUM. Well done.

SPLATINUM – Pumping Quarterz (Mochipet Remix)

SPLATINUM has 2 releases dropping on 04/20:

1. WE ARE SPLATINUM – 9 track digital release on Daly City Records
