Kastle - San Francisco, CA. The popularity of bass-heavy dance music is spreading like wildfire across the globe, with many producers crafting their own styles of dubstep, grime and garage. In the humble city of Pittsburgh, PA DJ/producer Kastle has cultivated his own style of bass-heavy beats with a soulful twist reminiscent of classic Chicago house.
We are delighted to introduce Mako from Leeds, Britain UK. He has a really unique style of music encompassing elements of Garage, Techno, Electro, Ambient and House. Check out these FREE DOWNLOADS from him and help us spread the word.
Wachs Lyrical and Tanka share the billing on this, the latest release for Hot N Heavy. Wachs Lyrical's "What You Say" is a dark and brooding slice of future jack, packed with swinging 808s and deep bass stabs, with moments of calming organ chords, combing the melodic euphoria of Jacques Green with the bleak, isolating soundscapes of Jam City. Tanka's "Amelie" is much in the same vein, a Detroit-influenced stepping techno which combines stuttering R&B samples with twisting 303s. An impressive release, and one that will no doubt go down well with fans of the retro-futuristic house of Night Slugs and their contemporaries.
For the flip we're proud to introduce Tanka from Winchester UK, he brings us 'Amelie' which saunters along a Future Bass / Garage vibe with pounding kicks, sultry vocal edits and hints of 303 acid. Whether you are warming up the club or at peak hour this one is sure to make the ladies dance.
