KNOB034: Benny Blazin - "Psychedelic"Release Date: Mar. 11, 2008DESCRIPTION"Original Mix" - Judge for yourself why this monster track deserves four remixes. It is a downright scary haunted tribal house ride out. The drums are steady and hypnotizing with an authentic storyline feel. The bass line stabs hard and the up and down patterns on the synth provide leverage over this whole juggernaut creation."DJ Style Knob Remix" - A chunky minimalist formula that creates wonder and fear. The streaming synths wave together in battle with a tight break beat surprise element, which runs back into a real thick kick, taking charge. The dark dream drums make this a subliminal masterpiece."DJ Apple Remix" - Take on this seductive adventure into the psycho-delic realm with mean percussion and raunchy bass line that lead into a melodic kaleidoscope land. Solid and steady beat runs on the in and out give this track and its wave a great tool for dj’s to take a quick detour into a virtual experience!!!"Justin Johnson Remix" - Justin upholds his reputation of stellar production taking the original vocals and pitching them down in the midst of a crystal clear beat run and tightly wrapped Latin percussion. The track drops out cold with an incredibly dope bass line arraignment, winding and mashing together. The synthesizer is to die for created in perfect reverb uniformed with that bass. Check this one!!!"West & Mason Remix" - This fist pumping take will have all electro-house heads dancing in circle. The bass line carries an old school feel complementing the sharp cutting edge synth stabs finely. The breakdowns add a pleasant twist reworking the sequence well. The production is very crisp, clean and appeasing to the ears, rounding up this release in full circle.SUPPORTKNOB034 has received support from Conor Arkins (c/o Matt Darey), Grimm Culhane, Adam Johnston, Adil Amlani, Carlos Turcois, Charles Yearwood, Dan Jovicic, Dragan Jargic, Franco Mirenzi, Frank Frenzy, Hakan Ludvigson, Jaden Chmilar, JD Turbine, Jean-Francois Besner, Jeff Galaxy, Jordan West, Joseph Scaringi, Kelly Michetti, Kevin Shiu, Leonardo D'Este, Rob Curtis, Sasha Le Monnier, Trystan Meyers, Vinny Vo, Ariel Cybana, Deep C (Tigerhook Corp), LLavoe, Thee-O, Villo, Damon G, Deko-ze, DJ Mindaugelis, DJ Nondas, DJ Craig DemoKNOB040: Da Silva & Lino - "Baby Lets Play House"Release Date: May 20, 2008DESCRIPTION"Indoors Mix" - The indoors mix generates a breathtaking vibe of enchantment. The synth has an authentic old school NY feel, mixed with many progressive elements. Sexy female vocals create intense physical dance floor static that bursts out into a solid mix of the hooks."Outdoors Mix" - This mix definitely opens up and feels free with a bass line that grinds and high and tight bells that ring out Don’t be fooled, this mix has a rough and shady side to it with static midrange bass distortion that completely rocks. Overall, this take creates a wave for the crowd you are exciting!!!"DJ Style Knob Remix" - Synthetic electronic flutes with classic reverb and a streaming synth rises into an completely surprising and intelligent NuSkool break beat throw down. This track is the perfect intro track for any DJ of any genre to start in high fashion. The bass lines are very cutting edge as well all the quick little drum roll edits. This is the definition of funky fresh!!"Bass Rokwell Remix" - Bass Rokwell throws down an arrangement of dope crashing tribal drums and chord progression madness. It all comes down like a waterfall, but fierce and mighty. He creates his own male vocal parts to switch up the flavor on this release. The magnetic electricity sounds he induces drive this track to a new level!!"Benny Blazin Remix" - Blazin puts the works on his hustling tribal hump mix. Tightly wrapped tribal congas and toms with a truly mysterious dark synth sweep melody that is introduced in the breakdown, which then takes the listener on a magic carpet ride with those seductive vocals. The build creates an orgasmic climax not to be forgotten."Tribal Injection Remix" - This mix has a special way of hooking th e listener from the very beginning with those sexy vocals and serious erecting rise of juice before the rhythm even kicks in, but when it does....Blast Off. The party time special chunk tribal groove takes its course, quite powerful. A rolling zipper sound works the mix into a long tunnel like siren synth which swiftly lifts out into a cold breakdown filled with fantasies, the vocals, and melodical ecstasy. A sure floor filler with intense sexual influence.Drum038: Zarco - "Chicago"Release Date: June 15, 2008Buy merch from MotherLand Music at www.zazzle.com/bennyblazin
