Ultimate Trap *gigalist*_part15

A lot of things have been said about Volor Flex, the young Russian producer whose music feels and acts like both a tribute and, at times, a cover of this mysterious iconic musician called Burial whom you might've heard of on previous occasions. 

Some people think "this sounds too much like the original, we don't need copycats" while others went as far as calling it "Burial v2". 
To each his own - the music is shamless and catchy. Have a go at it, leave all bias aside and take it in for how it sounds rather than what it stands for, you'll probably find yourself enjoying it

<b>Shadow Child - EP</b>

Just having wrapped up the epic HATCHED compilation we roll right into the first original EP of the year. It seems like we've been blessed because Shadow Child has delivered an incredibly strong debut release. "String Thing" was given to me with support by Eats Everything and I've already seen it completely rip up several rooms on tour last month.

I thought that was going to be the A-side killer and then "Rustic Chip" came in which i think could possibly be even better. The production style is kind of like old school Solid Groove meets drum n bass and i'm really digging this record. Super-fat, well-mixed sounds put in all the right places, this stuff really works. 

Best,
VonStroke

Shadow Child - String Thing

Bath based prodigy Troy Gunner returns with a stunning three track EP for fledgling London based label The Crescent. Furthering his reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting and innovative young producers, Troy continues his explorations into a completely unique sound. The Headlights EP follows a critically acclaimed 12” for Manchester’s Mindset Records and a stunning remix of Gang Colours’ ‘To Repel Ghosts’ for Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood imprint.

The Headlights EP captures a snapshot of a producer confident in his aesthetic, with title track Headlights a glorious representation of Troy’s sound. Plunging basslines and airy atmospheres trail in the wake of a fractured UKG beat, with snatched vocal samples intelligently put together so as to tread the fine line that underpins Troy’s productions, the blurred distinction between euphoria and melancholy.

On the flip Thank You For Nothing emerges forcefully out of a shuffle of field recordings and warped laughter with a weighty 4x4 kick and a slab of sub bass. B2 Elixir has been on constant rotation amongst DJs in the know for a few month now. Subtle yet euphoric and pacy, it’s a perfect example of Troy’s take on club sounds.

The Headlights EP will be released on 12” and digital formats soon, distributed through SRD.

<b>French Fries - Space Alarm</b>
Available now on DRIP.FM: https://drip.fm/dirtybird
Available on Beatport: http://btprt.dj/SwaXXJ
Available Worldwide: 11/13/12

French Fries delivers two originals on the cutting edge of modern bass. "Space Alarm" is right up in your face but artfully holds back right when you think it will go over the top. The inside "Smoke Wine" is more in the vein of last years smash "Yo Vogue" yet more understated and deep which is rare for the genre. When I play these at the right time they always solicit an audible "ooooh" from the crowd at the drops. Remix #1 is by Justin Martin who really blows it up dirtybird style with almost a breakbeat old school electro beat. Remix #2 is by dirtybird newcomers GoldFFinch via Belgium who also deliver a really funk laden club version. Both remixes are ace and the full release brings a very fresh sound to the label.

Enjoy,
VonStroke
