Why Noisia Radio is a must-hear for drum and bass fans

/

Noisia Radio is only on its 2nd episode but it's already becoming my go-to radio show of choice. Why you ask? It's all about personalization and engagement. This legendary drum and bass trio from the Netherlands takes the time to give commentary and opinions on every track played.

This is no small feat for major artists who usually don't have or take the time to make their radio shows great. It's still early days and maybe after episode 50 these guys might disengage a bit (please don't), but as of right now Noisia Radio is an absolutely must-listen for anyone who loves drum and bass or bass music in general, check it out: 

Noisia gave a special shout out to the experimental bass artist Losi from Vancouver by dropping the track "Boem":

Listen to Zomboy's LP "The Outbreak"

/

Zomboy, the UK dubstep artist, has released his long awaited album titled "The Outbreak". It's 10 tracks long, check it out: 

Zomboy didn't stray from his chunky dubstep style in The Outbreak, a bold and refreshing move where it has become fashionable for bass music producers to experiment well beyond their core styles in the past year. Even though some of these experiments have been promising, seeing someone like Zomboy doing what he does best by sticking to his guns is heartening.

Looking for some new music? Here are 3 albums + 1 EP to get you started

/

The electronic dance music world can be distracting at times. From Deadmau5 taking Rob Ford on a joy ride to a DJ wasting Grey Goose, it's easy to take your attention away from the music. This post will try to rectify that by bringing you 3 brand new albums and 1 EP into the spotlight that get you refocused on what is truly important: the music. 

Technimatic - Desire Paths

This is the debut album of this UK drum and bass duo. It's a long time coming but it's massive and will leave you wanting more: 

Logistics - Polyphony

This Hospital Recordings veteran is out with another album that should appeal to fans that like a more uplifting style of DnB: 

Ferry Tayle - Wizard

If you want a heavy dose of melodic trance, then look no further than "Wizard". This album will certainly take you on a chilled out journey thanks in part to the beautiful piano work done by this French producer: 

Rusko - !

Rusko steps out of the norm to produce 5 brand new tracks that do not fit easily into any one genre. If you are a bass fan and want to hear something fresh, then you've come to the right place: 

Bass music is alive and well in this special Snails ID mix

/

Bass music never felt so alive thanks to this extraordinary 30 minute mix filled with unreleased material by Montreal's own Snails. He's come to the forefront of big up and coming names in short order thanks to Skrillex's support of his successful "Wild" collab with Antiserum. Check it out: 

With this mix getting the buzz that it deserves, there's no telling how far Snails will go in 6 months to a year from now. If you live in Montreal, you'll have your chance to check him out at the ILESONIQ music festival in August. For ticket information, click below:
