Baobinga mix for Clash Magazine

We like to mix it up at CrashBleepBang giving you a diverse blend of electronic styles. So in contrast to the recent more rigid house posts i'm going out on a more funky broken beat flex today.

Build Records boss Baobinga just sent this mix over. It's full of some serious funky/bass/dubstep. This one should get you in the carnival mood, not too long now for Notting Hill Carnival, it's gonna be huge as always...

"Mix I did for Clash Magazine as part of the promo for the Multiverse 'Dark Matter' compilation, designed to show the sounds I'm feeling and the future direction of my label Build. Exclusive sneak previews of the next two Build releases, and a load of dubs from various badmans" - Baobinga

What To Do?

I like to draw your attention to what I think is one of the finest newcomer house tunes i've heard all summer. I know the last post was Zev's forget the world, which is pretty hard to trump. Nevertheless this track from the young Canadian Sean Roman is excellent. I discovered it via one of my favourite blogs Palms Out Sounds so big thanks to them. Pleasing vocal hook and dreamy synths, very nice stuff....

Sean Roman - What To Do

I have a serious back log of stuff that I have been wanting to put out. Some fresher than others, some full quality some not. But almost all are four to the floor and fairly in keeping with the house vibe. So get downloading.........

The Martin Brothers - Steal Drums (Julio Bashmore Mix)

A new Martin Brothers release get a typically bassy remix from CBB favourite Julio Bashmore. Go and get the whole release it is great and has some sweet remixers.

JD Davis,Telex - Moscow Discow (Tocadisco Remix)

Tocadisco with the bouncy tech house vibe.

Tom Demac - Crewcuts & Curls (Jamie Jones' Water Cooler Remix)

Jamie Jones' sets are full of soulful, deep and sometimes funky/disco house. This remix of Tom Demac is a serious groover.

Solo - Rawmania (Rubix Remix)

One of my favourite Solo tunes getting toyed with by the exciting Dutch house/funk producer Rubix. I love the trumpets samples in this one. Those who like it Balkan or Gypsy-esque will be a be a fan of this one.

Para One - Toadstool (LOL Boys Remix)

French label Sound Pellegrino recently gave away a few tracks. This is one of the best from the group they gave away.

In true school dinner fashion i've left the best till last with this post. The slower, deeper and more detroit influenced strain of house music which hits my ears like a fast spreading infection.

Jazzanova - Look What You're Doin' To Me feat. Phonte (Motor City Drum Ensemble Remix) (128bpm)

Alongside Kyle Hall and Nicolas Jaar, Motor City Drum Ensemble is the one of the finest young producers out there. I personally consider them to be a unorthodox holy trinity of young house producers. MCDE is my favourite though he's beyond talented.

Langenberg - Jalousie

122bpm detroit style monster. I love mixing this tune ever since I heard it on a mix by Mosca.

Ilario Alicante - Vacaciones En Chile

A lovely minimal tune from Italian Ilario Alicante. Without meaning to sound cheesy this has got the "i'm still awake, fucked and finding dancing difficult at 11am" vibe. Nevertheless a really nice guitar sample. The kind of tune you would expect to here in Ibiza I suppose....

BONUS:

Slam - We Doin This Again (Julien Chaptals One More Time Mix)

Enjoy the tracks

Nicolas Jaar, 19

Jaar was born in NY, raised in Chile and returned to the apple in his teens. His name is the one on everybody's lips at the moment. As the profile of New York based Wolf + Lamb records increases, so does the hype around Jaar. His frist ever release was with Wolf + Lamb at the tender age of 17, he has recently had a scintillating podcast mix put out via Resident Advisor and he is clearly very clever as he is now studying at one of the US's top Universities. Everything is looking good for the youngster. But is all this hype so necessary?

It is easy to make a fuss about his age, but it's warranted as he is younger than the genre itself and there aren't many young'uns out there. Techno is a genre of ageing veterans. The Beltram's, the Lawler's and the Atkins are not in their prime. Seth Troxler described him as one "of the most talented minds that dance music is about to see develop". A mind heavily influenced by the most famous Chilean in dance music Ricardo Villalobos. It was Villalobos' work which introduced Jaar to techno and since then he has made strides towards becoming a bigger and better producer than the man himself. Jaar has many other influences including Ethiopian Jazz legend Mulatu Astatke and of course a Latin tinge from his time spent in Chile.

One thing can be said of the youngster he produces very forward thinking music, it's not all necessarily very danceable but there are some club classics in his armoury of releases. You can be sure that you will seeing and hearing a lot more of this guy in the future.......

Claude Von Stroke stands out as one of the great names of the electronic music scene. People who don't even listen to techno will have at some point have heard of him or heard his music. Tim Green's remixes of artists like Booka Shade, Cassius and Tiefschwarz have become anthems in the scene too, so only good things can happen when work from the two producers is combined

Highgrade Disharmonic Orchestra

I was lucky enough to see the first live set that these guys played, at Watergate in Berlin. They worked a truly breathtaking combination of analogue synths and Abelton coupled with cdj's a vinyl mixing to create an amazing live experience. If you get a chance to see these guys then go for it.....

Bit O Funky

It has been somewhat inactive around these parts recently. I have just returned from a trip to Berlin, a city I always wanted to visit because of the techno scene present everywhere. Let me just say to anyone who has thought of going at any point DO IT! I have never been out in such a nice environment. The city itself is amazing and there is so much to see and do and at night it goes mad. I can safely say Watergate is the best club I have ever been to. Berliners go out on Friday nights and come back on Sunday afternoon...that's how it should be done

Polar opposite to the pounding techno and fresh minimal sound waves one can sample in der fatherland is the unique sound of UK funky. Because it's summer and it's shining it's a good time to whack out some funky vibes and act like snoop and 2 pac in the photo above....
