Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Fourward & The Arcturians - Alien

Drum and bass is a hit or miss genre for me, however it seems that this year has been far more hit than miss with several DnB tracks likely to appear in my forthcoming top 100 countdown. One of the best sources for quality DnB is of course the legendary UKF, who just released UKF10 what they call "a celebration of our past, our present and our future." While the past and present are strongly represented by Camo & Krooked, Mat Zo, Kove and others, the future can be found in Fourward and The Arcturians "Alien." Featuring the familiar vocals of the Kelowna outfit, the track drops its eerie atmosphere around the minute mark and proceeds to blastoff in a brilliant light-speed blitz. Catch it as part of a trio of DnB tracks on tonight's all new episode of Bump In The Hump live from 7-9 PM EST.FOLLOW FOURWARD: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

YOOKiE - Subs (James Meyers & AWAL Remix)

Nearly two months ago I wrote about YOOKiE's track "Subs" on my friend's blog, FUXWITHIT, (post here). Today it received a brain battering remix courtesy Chicago's James Meyers and mystery man, AWAL. These two put YOOKiE's incredibly designed original production to good use, taking the already diabolical drop to a more monstrous level. In the post above, I describe "Subs" as "part Frankenstein's monster, part Ridley Scott's Alien," and while that image stands strong in this revision, it's almost more visceral in its presentation. It's as though "Subs" were the original Alien from 1979, and this is the reboot with Predator. It's more violent than its predecessor, taking the original throbbing of "Subs" and upping the intensity. It shows a warped perspective of the universe, showing utter despair and licentiousness at its core. Whether it's the egg beater-esque treatment of the synth, the maleficent manipulation of the additional vocals or the ominous strobing alarm, there is nothing in this track that isn't an assault on either the original or our humanity. The inherent evil of this remix is unavoidable, reminding me of the darkness of Rezz, who yesterday responded to my tweet wondering "does she feed off nightmares" with simply "the depth of my brain." Dive into the depths of the brains of both James Meyers and AWAL, but only if you dare. Download the track for free via Artist Engine, here. FOLLOW AWAL: FACEBOOK SOUNDCOUD TWITTER
