-What The Future Sounded Like
Electronic music pioneers in the mid 20th century invented the tools that are now so ubiquitous that they have a profound effect on the sound pop music today. This short documentary on London’s EMS (Electronic Music Studios) presents an informative overview of developments durring the post-WWII era and beyond.

Since writing that last post about lazer-bass it’s become clear that there are a number of names being tossed around for the emerging genre of dancehall, hip-hop, club influenced, gritty-BASS infused dance music. Here’s the question we pose to you. What u call it?

Loading …Megasoid; Tank Thong Remix Tape
I was reading the New Yorker this week and came across an article by Sasha Frere-Jones in which he coined the term “lazer bass” to describe the music of Montreal-based party crew Megasoid. Ghislain Poirier used to call the genre “big asshole bass” or “big ass bass.” accurate descriptions but less likely to fly as an official term than lazer-bass.
Update
2 more contenders for the title: “raggaclash” and “wonky.” See the comments on this post for more ->
Turns out Sasha’s been writing about lazer-bass on the New Yorker blog too, and that piece is more in-depth; he also mentions LA’s Glitchmob and a crew from Scotland who I hadn’t heard of called LuckyMe.
He says lazer-bass is “a loose affiliation of musicians in California, Montreal, and Glasgow.” That seems true, but I would argue that the affiliation goes far beyond the 3 locals mentioned.
DJ C & Zulu; Gods & Robots Mixtape ->
Last February, when we posted a bunch of Zulu’s a-capellas here and challenged folks to “download - remix - upload” we had no idea we’d get back so many dope tracks, but we did and many of them are featured in this 31-track, 1-hour continuous DJ C mix of Zulu’s vocals backed by hype party tracks from producers the world over. Guest vocal appearances by Aceyalone, Jah Orah, and Onili, round out the productions by artists like Ghislain Poirier, David Last, Sabbo, and many others.
Also out now: DJ C & Zulu Gods & Robots album featuring many of the tracks on this mix. Go give it a listen in the Mashit Shop.
I made this for last month’s Samurai.fm mix and now I’d like to share it with y’all here. Check the tracklist below for lots-a juicy links 
to more info about the artists, tracks, and labels.
Also note the tracks Dear John and Exhibition Virtues (Hardcore Tonight Remix) which is featured on the DJ C & Zulu album, Gods & Robots.
It’s finally here! The Darling 12-inch by DJ C & Zulu has hit the streets.
From Boomkat:
The dynamic duo of DJ C and MC Zulu hook up again for another rugged bashment squeeze on ‘Darling’. The title cut tracks a similar route to their killer ‘body work’ riddim, rolling on the same mid paced bashment tempo but this time adding a rude grinding electro riff and industrial cowbell to rough it up some more in vocal and instrumental versions. Ghislain Poirier steps in on remix duties, adding a much needed slab of bottom end pressure and tweaking the rhythm with subtle phasing and flanging for a future bashment effect. Rugged rudeboy bizzle - KILLER twelve.
This single was first released as a Mashit MP3 download a couple months ago. Now it can be yours on 12-inch vinyl from shops like Boomkat and Juno Records in the U.K., Hardwax in Germany and Forced Exposure in the U.S.
Next Up:
DJ C & Zulu Gods & Robots Mixtape
Next Tuesday, April 29, 2008, get ready for the Gods & Robots Mixtape; a 31-track, 1-hour continuos DJ C mix of Zulu’s vocals backed by hype party tracks from producers the world over (Argentina, Belgium, Canada, England, Israel, Portugal, and cities across the U.S. are all represented). Guest vocal appearances by Los Angeles rappers Aceyalone and Jah Orah, plus Tel Aviv singer Onili, round out the productions by artists like Montreal’s Ghislain Poirier, Brooklyn’s David Last, Tel Aviv’s Sabbo, and many others.
Then:
DJ C & Zulu Gods & Robots Album
The mixtape will be followed by the DJ C & Zulu Gods & Robots album featuring a number of their vinyl singles, which have continually sold out of the shops and have been getting heavy rotation from party DJs the world over. Add to that four brand new, previously unreleased tracks plus remixes by Ghislain Poirier and Chrissy Murderbot, and you’ve got Gods & Robots. It’ll be released in the Mashit shop on May 13, ‘08 and soon after that will be available at iTunes, eMusic, Napster, Rhapsody and all the other usual suspects.
DJ Donna Summer (AKA Jason Forrest) asked me and a bunch of other crazies to remix his track Rock Rock Rock — the first single on his new Cock Rock Disco release Panther Tracks. The outcome is a 14-track, completely free download album of remixes by folks like Glowstyx, Aaron Spectre, Black Rabbit, and many more. It’s a wild variation of rave-o-licious treats. You can download the whole shebang for free at the CRD site ->
But first, a few individual tracks to wet your whistle:
