RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - FREEDOM (Skream's Psychotic Cyborgs Remix)

DOWNLOAD LINK


This tune's been getting smashed by the likes of Benga, Rusko, and Diplo.  Literally just seconds ago, Skream's given it away for free!

 I was a hater of filth till I played some out.  Guess what?  The crowd went mental.  Although it isn't what I'd listen to for leisure, this is definitely a dancefloor battle weapon...

Two free tracks hot off the presses : Miles Kane - Rearrange (Skreamix) & Herve - Together (C.R.S.T remix)

Apologies for lack of post, we was at Bloc Weekend getting up to mischief exploiting AAA passes.  We'll report fully soon...

Anyway, we got two hot tracks here which we've just been given the official greenlight to share.

When Skream uploaded a clip of this track it quickly got 7000 plays.  Well we got the full 320kbps version!  Go cop dat!

and!

Also we got a track from Herve's upcoming 'Together' remix EP which is being released on April 10th or 16th, depending on who you ask.  Basically it's not out for ages.  This is the future garage jam from C.R.S.T.  It's dope.  And it's 320 and free.  Yeah man.

Skream - Boat Party

This comes from a shit-hot compilation coming out soon from Ed Banger Records.  I know Ed Banger are like soooooo 2007 but the upcoming 'Let The Children Techno' compilation is A LOT and should make the cool kids like 'em again.  Or more.  I dunno, we're not cool.  Nevertheless, we got sent this and shall be bus'ing up the speakers with it for the foreseeable future with every chance we get.

Who's on an Outlook Festival boat party ting?

Get Low Blog's Top 10 tracks of 2010

It's that time of the year. Alongside Jimmy Carr's bloated face lurking about on Channel 4 every night counting down the UK's top 100 daytime agony aunts, Get Low Blog is gearing up for a glut of top 10 videos, breakthrough artists, festivals and fruity loop snare samples. Because lets be honest, it's bloody easy.

Apologies for the long list of youtube beds but it's the easiest way for readers to hear our selection of the most exciting tracks of 2010.

GET LOW BLOG'S TOP 10 TRACKS OF 2010

2010 has been a stirling year for Get Low.  Alongside festival appearances and established growth into new cities and venues, 2010 has seen us re-consider our approach to electronic music and where we believe the scene is heading.  2009 was the year that Dubstep blew up.  Skream sold 400,000 records, Dub Police became a staple monthly event at Fabric, TV commercials and beds were awash with grumbling basslines and it became de rigeur for there to be a dubstep remix on every chart single release, through Katy Perry to The Chelsea Pensioners (probably).  It is inevitable that this explosion of interest would create an interesting vortex within a scene that had previously been fiercely insular and independant, funded and supported by its own keen gaggle of supporters, much like D&B was in the mid 90's.

Skream, Benga, Rusko and a handful of others rightly reached for the stars, taking advantage of their natural charisma and pop hooks to penetrate the global conciousness.  Major labels invested in Dubstep in a big way, from Magnetic Man through to the True Tiger outfit.  Many of Dubstep's original innovators hastily took a step back from the monster they had helped to create.  Mala halted his once regular slew of releases, giving us only the admittedly brilliant Return To Space LP in 2010.  Loefah moved away from his sour, halfstep style to explore an entirely new scope of sound, mixing 80's inspired 808 rhythmic patterns with grimey, uneasy melodies that sounded like nothing before.  His label Swamp 81 shot ahead of the pack to swiftly become the label that embodied this new sound that was once, and possibly still is, Dubstep.  Recruiting Headhunter in his new guise as Addison Groove was a genius stroke, aswell as securing Ramadanman's startling new body of work.

The rise of funky and house has seen a new space open up between 130 and 140 bpm, exploited most efficiently by Redlight, formerly DJ Clipz.  It is this angle, lazily labelled "future garage" by many, that has seen some of the most innovative and exciting music in 2010, and it is this sound that looks set to be the hip noise of 2011. If Redlight, Jamie XX, James Blake, Dark Sky and the Night Slugs crew continue generating the quality we have seen from them so far then there will be surely be much to look forward to.

Below is our pick of the tunes that have shaped our year.


10. REDLIGHT - STUPID (DIGITAL SOUNDBOY)

This could have been the equally great vocal version featuring the fearsome Roses Gabor, but the original instramental is just simply HARD. 'Stupid' consistently moves dancefloors and is large enough to blast out in 6,000 capacity festival tents, as Skream did at Bestival to devastating effect.



9. ADDISON GROOVE - FOOTCRAB (SWAMP 81)

Both incredibly sparse and delightfully rich, Footcrab ushered in 2010's progressive sound at the same time as marking Swamp 81 as a label with serious intentions to push the letter.  Genius.



8. BREACH - FATHERLESS (PTN)

A moody, angst ridden stomper from Ben Westbeach cloaked as the mysterious Breach, 'Fatherless' takes it time to drop but is definitely worth the wait. Like Redlight's 'Stupid', 'Fatherless' explores the murky waters between Dubstep and Tribal House to devastating effect.



7. RAMADANMAN - GLUT (SWAMP 81)

Yet more bassy magic from Swamp 81, with Ramadanman re-inventing himself as a trailblazing producer with a style bang on trend.  No idea why this didn't appear on his own Hessle Audio imprint however, I certainly wouldn't have given this banger over to another label.



6. SKREAM - FIELDS OF EMOTION (TEMPA)

The choice cut off the mixed bag that was "Outside The Box", 'Fields of Emotion' is a joyously melodic stomper with references to Silkie's lightness of touch.  Superb track.



5. ZINC FEAT MS DYNAMITE - WILE OUT (RINSE)

Nothing new here, but Zinc's low end bassline has proven it has the power to just simply make people move.  A cross demographic smash that became huge across House, Funky, Dubstep and Pop, 'Wile Out' was also responsible for re-introducing Ms Dynamite into a scene that was crying out for strong, powerful women figures.  We had Ms Dynamite at several Get Low parties throughout 2010 and consistently witnessed her awesome stage presence and popularity amongst girls bored of sweaty Dubstep raves full of gurning lads.  Gamechanging stuff.



4. KATY B - KATY ON A MISSION (RINSE)

Alas, another boring choice.  However, the importance of this chart destroying Summer anthem cannot be underestimated.  Played across the board in the UK and America, 'Katy On A Mission' combined Benga's rolling, muscular dancefloor nous with Katy B's sultry, evocative vocal skills.  It is a track that contains all the best elements of Dubstep and Pop music in a way that Magnetic Man's limp "I Need Air" never was and has turned a whole generation of teenagers onto well made Bass music.  An unbelievably crucial song.



3. MAN LIKE ME - LONDON TOWN (OURTIME)

A curveball here, but this brilliant ode to London is too good to miss out.  Man Like Me have been on the grind for years, never saturating their unique take on pop music, whilst their live shows are consistently magical.  A band to be treasured, as their hilarious turn in the recent IKEA advert shows.




2. JAMES BLAKE - CMYK (HOTFLUSH)

As time will no doubt tell, 2011 will be the year that James Blake establishes himself as the credible bridge between Dubstep and chart music.  His superb cover of 'Limit to your Love' may have put him on the map as a man that could sing as well as produce, but CMYK was the real showcase of his abilities.  Slicing Kelis' RnB gem 'Out There' with Destiny's Child, CMYK is a fragile, weird piece of music that gradually builds into a heartstoppingly beautiful crescendo.*



1. GIRL UNIT - WUT (NIGHTSLUGS)

'WUT' is arguably a boring choice for the Get Low Blog Tune Of The Year, as many other blogs have done the exact same thing.  However, Girl Unit has created a track that combines several strokes of genius at once.  As-well as introducing us to an exciting new artist on the incediary label 'Night Slugs', 'WUT' gave us a glimpse of where UK Bass music was heading at the same time as reminding us why we fell in love with Dubstep in the first place.  In a year where Joker has failed to develop his own take on the sound after a string of awesome tunes in 2009, Girl Unit has filled the void with a synth drenched monster.




*CMYK was the closing song for our set at Outlook Festival.

Cassius - I Love You So (Skream remix)

Skream - Hats Off

Hats Off by SKREAMIZM

Great new Skream track entitled "Hats Off". It seems to be an update on "Burnin Up", his seminal release on Digital Soundboy last year that re-introduced the amen break into bass music (alongside that La Roux remix). Jungle/rave tributes that hark back to the early 90's have definitely become a growing theme recently, see what you think of this.

ONEWAY @ KNOWHERE - 6.10.2010 // SKREAM, CHEF, HIJAK, LEVELZ, SGT. POKES and GET LOW // Massive line-up, R U Dumb?!

Wow wow we waw! 

  Organised by Skandal (who did an exclusive mix for us a little while back), this is the biggest Dubstep event coming to Norwich for a long while.

Having just released his album "Outside the Box", and hitting number 10 on the UK singles chart with "I Need Air" with Magnetic Man, this is probably one of the last times you'll be able to see Skream in such a small venue, not just in East Anglia, but in the country.  Ever.

FACEBOOK EVENT

Not only that, there's massive support from brother-in-arms Hijak, Rinse FM stalwart Chef (who smashed up Outlook Festival main stage with a ridiculous jungle set!), and ripple-making newcomer Levelz.  

Oh yeah, your friendly neighbourhood Get Low DJs are 'pon the decks too.

With Mic Duties covered by the biggest Dubstep MC in the game Sgt. Pokes, you've got an event any self-respecting Dubstepper in East Anglia would sell their family to attend.

FACEBOOK EVENT

 Skandal's also pulled out all the stops to make sure you get the best experience possible by amassing a 7k Turbosound sound system.  Considering the intimate size of the venue, this is serious chestplate business.  Earplugs and/or oxygen equipment due to air vibration recommended.

Skream, Hijak, Chef, Levelz and Pokes are no stranger to an after gig booze-up.  Can you imagine the upstairs terrace party in Havanas?  Can you?!?!

Turn up early, this will be a maximum capacity, queue around the block event.

Miss this at your peril.

Skream gives away 'Raw Dogs', and two bangers you should know about

Here's another addition to the Skream & Benga show!

Nah, just kidding.  But no-one else is doing remarkable things in my opinion (other than Zinc & Redlight), so bear with it.

(Yeah, these tunes are HAAAAAAARD).





Skream's given away another fat tune.  I don't hate power-drill Dubstep straight off, it's just that if I have to listen to an hour of it I feel like I'm experiencing an 'advanced interrogation technique' at Guantanamo Bay.  Anyway, this goes off in the rave.  Well done sir.

BTW, MANSION RAVE SMASHED IT!!

Skream presents the Freeizm Vol. 2

Skream released the second of his Freeizm series.

'Dark Light' seems to be the pick of the bunch having been yearned for by fans for over a year.  The remix of Loefah's Indian Dub is a pleasant surprise too, having been previously consigned to the "never gonna get released" pile of Skream's vast private discography.

Good on him!

Heavy Night, safe for all who reached. Skream smashed it as usual, played a ridiculous amount of new cuts although the latter part of the set suffered due to the bottle and a half of vodka Ollie ingested....loads more pics on facebook x
