    Time for some new Soundcloud Drops!

    Starting off with two new tracks by Milyoo!

    Milyoo – Rhizomes

    Milyoo – Hauntee

    Lets continue with Nilow, Nilow is a Dubstep/Drum n Bass Dj and Producer from Berlin, Germany. Nine years ago he came in contact with Drum n Bass. He immediately loved this massive sound and starting to search for more music with deep and dirty bass lines until he came in contact with Dubstep, resulting in buying turntables to spin some records and later on creating his own productions. Nilow has a nice easy-going sound and besides his own productions he also likes to remix tracks. Below you’ll find one of his remixes, for more tracks please visit his Soundcloud

    Edith Piaf – Non je ne Regrette Rien (Nilow Remix)

    And there is more. Currently living in Breda, the Netherlands, DisPjutR started making electronic music in a rather silly way. To be precise: somewhere in the summer of 1997 with a friend he covered a pan with some kitchenfoil, and recorded beating it with a pen in windows soundrecorder for later manipulation with said software. From there, DisPjutR started searching the web for music production information and started trying out different music software. Having had no formal education in music production, and no understanding of all the unfamiliar terms, it took a lot of experimenting before getting at creating beats and songs.

    Nowadays, he himself describes the music as a mix of Breaks, IDM & Bass. His own favourite musical genres being Drum n Bass, Breakcore, IDM and Dubstep, it is easy to hear most of his inspiration flows from there, but not all! For DisPjutR some inspiration generally comes from things in everyday life. And as he is an avid believer that Music should not have constraints, in any way. I Selected some work which I feel represent more than just one side of his productions, enjoy.

    DisPjutR and Bots – Luihi’s Theme

    DisPjutR – Stop Hiding Start Wobblin’

    DisPjutr – Killing 1500 Birds

    And a bit more to the north we have Rotterdam. Operating from Rotterdam, Kaizoku produces some nice dubstep tracks. Kaizoku is a collabaration between Dr. Fezz, Vivace and Sinus Sawtooth,

    Kaizoku – The Outbreak

    Kaizoku – A Doomed Planet

    Lets end with two sets by Factiss, Influenced by Hip hop, Glitch hop, Dubstep and more Factiss mixes his tracks with his laptop and a Vestax VCI300.  Below you will find his latest recordings. These two and more sets are available for download on his Soundcloud.

    Describing music is hard.

    It’s not really our fault so much as language itself limits our capacity to reign in the nuance of composed sound.  And it is because of this murky gap between the word and the tones that we often find ourselves reduced to clumsy comparative descriptions (“sounds like a cross between burial and pink floyd”) or knee deep in a thesaurus so we can say “emotive” in 17 affectional, affective, heartwarming, moving, stirring, touching ways.

    All this is fine and good.  I mean, without these sorts of contrivances how would Boomkat be able to tell me what to buy?

    But skipping this sort of textual excess is what – for me – makes soundcloud so amazing.  Instead of tripping over my words i can just say “so and so is killing it”, drop a link, and wait for you – dear reader – to nod.

    So without further ado…. these two artists – Roof Light and Actraiser – are killing it.  top-notch post-garage deepness from both.

    Roof Light

    Actraiser

    This is the part where you nod.

    Cheers!

    Hereby a short bio about Rob Booth and Electronic Explorations for those who don’t know him yet.

    Rob Booth, born in January 1978, Cheltenham, UK but currently living in Ambleside was never keen on the academic side of school, preferring to concentrate on more creative areas such as art, graphic design and of course music.

    He soon became known as the guy to go to if you were after the latest music, with “The Raw and The Cooked” by Fine Young Cannibals and Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” among his first purchases – 10 year olds can be excused a lot of things!

    Then, one night in 1997, everything turned on its head. A late night/early morning radio show began on Radio 1, known simply as the ‘Breezeblock’ and hosted by a forward-thinking, enthusiastic and driven young lady named Mary Anne Hobbs.

    Over the next 30 months Rob stayed up each and every week recording and playing back the shows, discovering new types of music, clubs and scenes that shaped his musical tastes and cemented his love of all things electronic.

    On a whim, Rob decided to email Mary Anne Hobbs, and soon after he and Mary were in regular contact. Work at Breezeblock HQ soon followed and Rob got the opportunity to learn first-hand what it took to make the radio show that he’d followed so religiously for all those years.

    Now the time has come for Rob to go a step further and start his own show. Electronic Explorations is a weekly 90 minute Download / Podcast show which promises totally exclusive mixes from the cream of the electronic world. Focused on genre’s such as  dubstep, minimal electronica, breakcore, techno and anything else that’s pushing the boundaries of electronic music.

    I’ve selected some of my favorite shows below but there is a lot more interesting stuff to listen and download on electronicexplorations.org.

    82-Download-Tracklist-Slugabed-[Planet Mu / Ramp / Stuff Records ]
    78-Download-Tracklist-Planet Mu-[Worlds Greatest Label]
    60-Download-SYNKRO-[Z-Audio / SYNKRO / Mindset]
    60-Download-Rob Booth’s-‘Desert Island Discs Mixtape’
    51-Download-Broken Note-[Ad Noiseam / Peace Off]
    43-Download-Starkey-[Planet Mu]
