East Oakland Bounce (Duffrey's North Oakland Shred)

I've taken Adham's original, Balkan/Gypsy tune from a housey meander into a full bass bounce; UK Funky style. Inspired by my trip to England and the Secret Garden Party, this is my tribute to the fun and quirky UK culture. Violins, flutes, accordions, drums and bass should make this the biggest bloody Balkan anthem of 2011. 

Carpet Breaker (Knowa Knowa's UK Funky Remix)

This is The Human Experience remix of a tune I have forthcoming on Muti Music. The remix is a deeper, introspective version that balances melodic with full on psychedelic. Get the WAV along with the full Human Experience album, Harmonic Transformation on Addictech.com now!

Naked On Acid In India (The Human Experience Remix)

Naked on Acid is my vision of painting with sound. It's sounds, thoughts and textures drawn across the auditory spectrum with brushlike strokes, flowing into eachother and creating a synesthetic field to journey into. My recommendation: Sit down in-between your speakers, the stereo field, or in headphones, close your eyes and really listen.

Somehow this never made it onto my soundcloud page, so i'm posting it now. From the "Sound Paintings" EP on Muti Music.

Naked On Acid

The first year I went to Burning Man, this was the sunrise anthem. Its probably Rodman's most recognized tune, and has been played my many other DJ's and producers throughout the years, most notably being frequently played by Bassnecter. 
I've tried to balance the idea of making a full on remix, with what I felt was the need to keep the original material and feel intact, and have focused on bringing the sound quality up to current standards, and adding some personal touches that don't change the original idea of the track too much. This is how I feel he should be remembered, as a brilliant, influential producer and caring person.

Move Shake Drop (2k RMX)

Rook and Knowa's "Volume 1." EP is the type of collaboration EP you would expect from two eccentric and genius audio scientists - sort of like Rick and Morty making music. This diverse release includes the Neuro, Electro-Swing, Glitch-Hop anthem "I Got a New Lady", a Moombahton influenced banger with a Jungle Book twist, some straight up sci-fi videogame experimental music, and is finished off with a cinematic head nodding remix by the young California artist, Novascope. Combining interdimensional bass ignitions, eclectic rhythms, stylistic funky beats, and luscious grooves, this experimental EP is a fresh outlook in redefining collaboration and wide-ranging taste. A galactic whirlpool of imaginary, innovative, and next level fusions are felt as each soundscape flows through seamless expressions.

This new tune combines the classic Knowa Knowone style with fresh sounds. Heavy trap beats with Indian percussion, a glitch hop styled hook and some grimey LFO bass sprinkled on top.

Exotic Geometry

4 Centers took the balkan gypsy breakdown of a bangin electro tune and warped it into some proto-dubstep halftime monsterousness. I polished it up and made my own edit. Fun and crunk all at once.

MightyFools - Hoo Haa (4Centers + Knowa Knowone Remix)

The title track off the album, "Champagne and Kittens" is a delicately balanced midtempo tune that has a funky, almost mellow vibe riding on top of rolling dirty bass and slapping drums. Perfect for almost any dancefloor, indoor or out, day or night.

Champagne and Kittens

I was going for something a bit different with this remix. Its somewhere between IDM and Pop, with a little splash of Dubstep for good measure. I was feeling a lot of directions here, and so it goes for a bit of a ride. Hope you enjoy!

The city of Los Angeles has found itself the proud home of a focused bass technician who has been making visceral waves throughout the bass music community at festivals like Lightning In a Bottle, Coachella &amp; numerous other venues from Burning Man to Tel Aviv. Stephan Jacobs , a self-proclaimed music junkie, has once again peaked public interest with a savvy new remix album. “Mad Era &amp; In The Vortex: Remixed”. His well-received EP’s “Mad Era” &amp; “In The Vortex” have undergone a double-barreled booster shot of dubstep, grime, and gltich-hop remixes to become a welcome addition to any artists performances. Multi-genre spanning tracks ranging from IDM to Drum &amp; Bass are provided by a hand-picked roster of West Coast beat masters. Pick up the album to add another go-to weapon for your music arsenal.

For free download - Knowa Knowone's official remix of "After The LIghts On (featuring The Grouch)" from the 2011 LosTribe album "Sophie".

Knowa's new remix again demonstrates his ability to fuse cutting edge Bass Music and roots Hip Hop into something new and original. Staying clear of Dubstep and Glitch Hop cliches this remix faithfully retains the sample based funk and indie vibe of the original West Coast Hip Hop tune, and marries it to hard, punchy danceable drums and crushing, infectious bassline synthesis. The track showcases the incredible flow of lyricism characteristic of The Grouch (of Living Legends) and LosTribe MC, Agustus ThElefant taking poetry to the dancefloor. At music.knowaknowone.com you can get the instrumental for free as well as the full remix, good for when the lights on, or the lights off.

About the Clipping Paths Compilation:

The original Clipping Paths compilation in 2007 set a tone for many emerging sounds from Muti Music and featured ‘then’ new artists Ooah, Vibesquad, Audiovoid, Nanda, Timonkey, Slidecamp and Muti regulars like An-ten-nae and Dov, needless to say it has been quoted by many as an influence and has proven to help define new sounds that have blown up in the years that followed.

Dov compiles the Clipping Paths compilations and says,”Clipping Paths has no real theme other than slightly experimental broken beats that somehow try to blend ‘pretty’ with ‘hard’, the emphasis being on a listeners experience and maybe a chance of dancing. I always take this compilation a little more personally as they are all tunes that move me deeply in some way and I spend a lot of time with the tunes trying to find a certain flow that makes it a journey.”

‘Clipping Paths 2’ proves to be an epic listeners journey and it does deliver a healthy dose of pretty and just a smidgen of the hard to make the pretty stand out just a little more, the artists featured prove to be high end producers with a healthy amount of wonky attitude and understanding of some deeper musical realms.

Step inside the minds of two legendary madmen, Knowa Knowone and Dove (of the Black Rock City Allstars) as they guide you through magic, love, anger and pain; poetry over riding bass and tearing synthesis.

Add in remixes by three of the most unique producers in bass music- AMB, Haywyre and S.P.E.C.T.R.E.; and you have two insane tunes created on a tour bus driving through the desert reworked for your pure listening pleasure.

\\ These spiritual window-shoppers,
      who idly ask, 'How much is that?' Oh, I'm just looking.
      They handle a hundred items and put them down,
      shadows with no capital.

       What is spent is love and two eyes wet with weeping.
      But these walk into a shop,
      and their whole lives pass suddenly in that moment,
      in that shop.

       Where did you go? "Nowhere."
      What did you have to eat? "Nothing much."

       Even if you don't know what you want,
      buy _something,_ to be part of the exchanging flow.

       Start a huge, foolish project,
      like Noah.

       It makes absolutely no difference
      what people think of you.
