Though everyone’s talking about Drop the Lime’s new tune of the same name featuring the amazing Carrie Wilds on vocals, producer Phonat has his own “Set Me Free”, which couldn’t be any more different genre wise.

A retro guitar driven hook with chopped vocals and a catchy melody, fans of DatA, Ratatat, and Alex Metric will love Phonat. The tune easily crosses over into pop but still has a fresh feel. Equally, the video is visually eye-popping with some really great animation and editing.

Pick up the tune plus the rest of the release on iTunes now.

Thanks to Matt Ashley for the heads up!

I really dig Mom & Dad. They just released a new EP on Larry Tee and Alexander Technique’s DJs Are Not Rockstars label titled “The Whole Sh’Bang” sportin’ remixes from Tom Stephan and Harvard Bass.

We’ve got the latter for you tonight for your listening and spinning pleasure. Of course Harvard Bass is in full form here, with his massive lean production.

Pick up the original, Tom Stephan, as well as the Harvard Bass mixes on iTunes and Beatport now.

Groove Armada are back with their new single “I Won’t Kneel” featuring the vocal style of SaintSavior. It’s the first release of the duo’s upcoming new album Black Light out February 23, 2010 in the US.

“I think even people who’ve hated everything we’ve ever made before could absolutely love this record. I’m incredibly proud of it. If I could leave just one album of ours behind, there is absolutely no question as to which one it would be.” – Andy Cato of Groove Armada

The guys say they didn’t want to rehash their old sound, saying that would be too easy, and instead were inspired by many of the performers this year at their Lovebox music festival. Andy explains “They’re the ones really leading the charge, making genuinely exciting, dance-informed music. And that sound really pushed us back towards people like Bowie, Gary Numan, New Order, Fleetwood Mac and Roxy Music.”

You can pick up the new single, including remixes from Mock & Toof, the Bloody Beetroots, and more on iTunes now.

Been really excited to share this! Subdrive homey Terror Dactel and our newly anointed house MC, Charlie Tippie, teamed up to rework Charlie’s original minimal hip-hop tune “Vocaloid” (originally produced by Ming of Ming & FS). A departure from Terror’s recent work, the tune actually flips back to his original hip-hop production and is a hint of what’s to come from these two artists.

Expect to hear new Terror Dactel tunes soon, including an EP from Charlie on Subdrive in 2010.

We’ve been pretty busy! We’re psyched to announce two showcases going on during CMJ. First up we’ve teamed up with our friends at The Culture of Me and Sheena Beaston. Half the roster will be throwing a big dance party right after a band showcase at Greenpoint’s Europa. You’ll find the Subdrive crew Viking, VDRK, Terror Dactel, Mr Vega, and others spinning that night.

Then, literally two days later, we’ve got the CMJ edition of HEAT at N 4th Bar! We’ve got newly minted Subcrew members OCD Automatic and Cobra Krames serving up some madness as well as guest Gavin Royce of Girls & Boys!

Two parties, one crew, one crazy weekend.

Pick up tickets for the 22nd here. 18+

RSVP for the 24th here. 21+

We posted a Selektor mix a while back from the Chrome Kids, a group of DJs and producers from the UK pushing everything bass. Well the guys sent us their latest mix for Adam Walton’s Mystery Tour on BBC Radio Wales. Originally broadcast on the 11th of October, the mix goes all around from the more laid-back tunes to heavier, harder production work. Recommend you pump your low-end for this.

Chrome Kids – BBC Radio Wales Mix

A fantastically dark and droning remix from B.Rich of Lea Luna’s moody “Leaving for Mars.” The remix is out on Play Me Records, a new label from the heart and soul of longtime DJs Reid Speed & Mark Subsonik. The label aims to bring forth a musical outlet for all things fun yet bass heavy, spanning from the bassline side of electro and fidget house to the grittiest, gnarliest dubstep. Artists confirmed for or on past releases include: B. Rich, Mike Balance, Ultrablack, J. Rabbit, Havoc-n-Deed, Your Dirty Habit, After Midnight, Supercycle, Torqux & Twis7, Lazerbitch, and a few Reid Speed & Subsonik originals and remixes.
