[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Reviewed by Eversun Diffused is the latest release from New Zealand Drum and bass duo The Upbeats, featuring 2 brand new originals (Diffused and Undertaker) and remixes of the title track from S.P.Y. and Opiuo. Being released on Noisia's Vision Recordings, you can expect to hear the dark styled drum and bass that label owners Noisia are known for. Diffused uses deep rolling sub bass and crazy percussion/Breaks patterns to bring out a tune that is absolutely full of energy. Undertaker is a full-on neuro jump up tune with a real Noisia-esque glitched out bass line. The S.P.Y. remix offers a different take on Diffused with a more straightforward approach to the drums and an epic offering of sub bass whilst still retaining the overall vibe of the ori

[wp_ad_camp_2] A popular electronic music artist has decided to step behind the curtain and release his first full length album under the alias ANGRY MUFFIN. [wp_ad_camp_1] Angry Muffin, who as his former personality released music with some of the top electronic labels on the planet, says shielding himself from the public and media will force audiences to listen rather than look.

[wp_ad_camp_2] Grammy Award nominated DJ/Producer Todd Terry has been engulfed in dance music since he first started listening to European dance music records while growing up in Brooklyn. Already devoted to turntables, he heard something different in those tracks, and he “went for the difference". "I never got a break in New York, but England happened right away, so I catered to them.” In any event, the Todd Terry sound was born.
