Ganja White Night - FCKNYE Mixtape (FREE DOWNLOAD!)



I fuggin' love the Belgian dudes who make up GWN and the rawness of all of their tunes. I got a chance to see them at Infrasound Equinox in Black River Falls, WI in September, shortly after their newest album "Hybrid Distillery" came out, where they played 3 different sets. They played all original music with a slight exception of a few tracks- one set which was all of their classic Dubstep bangers, one which experimented with the combination of their newer and older style, and one which was their "alter ego", Vice Vertu with Simon. This 37 minute mix is a good combination of tunes from their new album plus some bangers from their past- its super solid.

But, since I am on the topic of their new album, if you haven't already- you should absolutely go buy it. I will warn you though, it is a bit different from their previous albums, which were all Dubstep. They experiment with some new sounds while still keeping it heavy and wonky with my personal favorites, "Zamal" and "Blackberries". They took some heat from the Infrasound community for experimenting and although I don't love every track, I appreciate them for stepping beyond their comfort zone and trying something different. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love these guys!

Cotti - Back to My Roots EP (STN007)



I've always thought Cotti was one of the most under-rated and unknown producers out there given his long history with the Dubstep community and the evolution of it. The owner of Sumting New Records has been producing dubstep in the motherland of London since 2004 but only has 7,350 Soundcloud followers. He's worked on collaborations with dubstep legends Coki and Skream, as well as Kromestar, Dub Pistols, P Money, and Skepta. He even had a track titled "The Legacy" featured on one of dubstep's most famous releases, Rusko and Caspa's "Fabric Live 27" CD. His US breakthrough was my personal favorite Cotti release, "The Resurrection" EP signed to 12th Planet's LA based SMOG Records in 2014. He has remained relevant by continuously releasing music on his STN label that always seems to keep his signature style and push barriers of genre constraint at the same time. Today, I am posting his "Back to My Roots" EP that was released on Nov. 25th. This EP cannot be streamed on Soundcloud but instead on Bandcamp, where you can purchase it for $4.54 (or £3).

In this 4 track EP, Cotti showcases his signature wonky, well mastered synths that his fans know him for but effortlessly mixes and pays homage to his Reggae/Jamaican Dubstep roots in "Elusive", "Stay Calm", and "Cool Down". This is great, vibey release from Cotti- I support it! And you should take some time to check it out. Also, if you don't already, definitely follow him on Soundcloud. He always has new and good music coming out.
