Everyone here on the Northeast of the United States seems to be snowed in, drinking cocoa, eating brownies with peyote in it and listening to Shackleton’s discography. Well whether you’re recovering from poorly-prepared, homemade Eggnog or a Skull Disco inspired mind bender, this music video will calm you down from your winter worries. It’s a music video for “Dawn,” off my latest EP “New Year’s Day” on Subdepth Records. It’s a short film by Donna K. made with over 1,000 pictures. If you’re into her work as much as I am, go check out her flickr page and say hello!

Viking Funeral EP collects five choice Mux cuts into one concentrated blast of music, an introduction to Brian Lindgren’s dazzling take on homespun electro hip-hop and a preamble to his upcoming full-length opus, Skulltaste.

Viking Funeral contains everything that Mux Mool does best, making it a fine road map to Lindgren’s cracked universe. “Teal Trim” starts things off right with a tight, incisive beat, mixed to cut through a fog of hard-panned synths and distorted melody lines. Mux’s live edit of “Ladies Know” is a hard-to-find instrumental version which foregrounds the track’s bitcrushed drums and dirt-crusted vocal samples. Next up is “Drum Babylon”, a highlight from Mux’s song-a-day project Drum EP, and “Goblin Town”, a mischievous interlude featuring a choir of deep-voiced goblins, singing about their hometown. The Viking Funeral EP closes with its lone track with vocals, “Death 9000 (Prof & POS Broadcasting Version)”, in which the MCs have their way with one of Mux’s more sinister beatscapes.

Five tracks, five different shades of Mux; but the Viking Funeral EP is just the tip of the iceberg. Skulltaste is lurking below the waterline, and it goes down for miles. (from Ghostly)

Although all of these tracks are standouts, I wanted to share of my personal favorites. I’ve listed them in descending order, from my absolute favorite on down. Be sure to grab your own copy of the sampler – TRUST ME!!

-Kellz

DISTINCTION - Bionic Bug
Clever use of synths emulate the sound of insect wings swarming in the distance while more immediate sounds pan across the stereo field to get you instinctively swatting the air for digital mosquitoes. These effects, underpinned by a giant splash of a snare and sub-rumble of a bassline make this tune a winning experiment in the vast reach of the modern synth. Hands down, my favorite track of the collection; it sounds like a riot stomping out of the speakers!!

TROLLEY SNATCHA - Slow Down
An ominous minor key string loop opens this heavy piece and sets the tone for this lumbering giant. A slow motion dirge whose bass is as heavy as its mood. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

SUBSCAPE - Dominant Species
An incredibly aggressive bassline reminiscent of the late 90’s drum and bass sound drives relentlessly throughout.

THE OTHERS - Quantum Leap
Serious bass odyssey here ya’ll. Once the theme is established at the top, it’s play time. The Others run the gamut here, playing with call and response ideas, basstones, and breakdowns.

D1 - BRB
Situated a bit more on the modern electro side of things, this up-tempo club rocker repeats and tweaks an ascending synth line over a four-on-the-floor kick to great effect. Still, the persistence of the hi-hat and clap patterns ground this track in the Dubstep world as well.

DUBWOOFA - 7am Ghost
Dubwoofa creates a hauntingly minimal vibe with lush synth pads and a drum pattern that is both sparse and incredibly tense. A deft marriage of the texturally ambient and rhythmically aggressive.

The collection also features Caspa, Emalkay, Matty G, Unitz, Orien, LD, J Kenzo, and L-Wiz.

Rising Pittsburgh Dubstep label, Savory Audio, captained by powerhouse bass producer, abZ reached their twentieth release in the label’s brief history. And LAWD is it a powerhouse!!

Bone Loc’s “Eater” E.P. is four songs of guttural fury. With mastodon kicks and basslines that sound like tanks running over screaming crowds, Bone Loc’s sound immediately caught my attention.

Listen to the entire E.P. below and then hop over to Savory Audio’s page for further details on the release. Be warned – this one is a MONSTER
