Evil Presidentes - Endtroducing... The Ramp Xmas Show (Dec 2013)






























For the third installment of my Ramp Shows, I decided to do something very different... 

What you have in front of you is an old fashioned, tipsy, Christmas mixtape. Inspired by 1960's and driven by Dean Martin, the real king of Christmas. Allow yourself go back to an era when life seemed simpler, less globalised and capitalised. 

For this mix to go down properly, to precisely taste what I'm trying to say here, I've added a secret ingredient to help compliment the next seventy five minutes...something hot to warm your soul this holiday season. This may be an unorthodox step to take but "Oh my gosh my golly, it's time for Gluhwein and Knusperhauschen biscuits"! 

My secret Christmas Gluhwein recipe goes as follows: 
1 bottle of wine, 500ml apple juice, 1 can of pear cider, 50g sugar, 1 cinnamon stick snapped in half, 4 cloves, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground all spice, couple of splashes of Cointreau. Just bring to the boil slowly, take 25-30mins to cook through. Repeat the stated dose.

Lebrosk & Delimentary new release out today on junodownload !

Junodownload review:
Big booty business from two of south England's most promising nu-funkateers: London's Lebrosk gets his backpack on with some classic horn-blasting hip-hop fusion that doesn't sounds dissimilar to Ugly Duckling. Party vibes guaranteed. Delimentary, meanwhile, opts for a darker sound. Throwing a well-known Jungle Brothers vocal down over a bolshy bulbous bass and dramatic strings, it's an instant crowd pleaser.

Listen and buy here.........

Words and Interview by DJ Pangburn

The Dutch trio Kraak & Smaak want to make fans move. To do this, they call upon several decades of music history. No boundaries, no limits exist for these three melody makers. Over the course of five records, house, soul, funk, and many more genres have found a distinct fusion in the Kraak & Smaak sound. And, unlike their Dutch dance music kin, the trio isn’t racing to the bottom for the most bombastic and popular sound. For them, music is a craft, one that requires elastic tinkering and experimentation.

While debut album, Boogie Angst, is more sample-driven, their latest, Chrome Waves, adds more synthetic, electronic layers than ever before. This approach, as Wim Plug tells it, freed the group up to follow their muse—to pursue any idea as long as it was good. Singles “Love Inflation” and “Good for the City,” featuring Sam Duckworth on vocals, serve as the two polar opposite fruits of this effort.


In the wake of Chrome Waves‘s release, Plug took some time to muse on a variety of topics. As with the music itself, nothing was off limits. International club culture, the importance of sonic mutation, and how Kraak & Smaak survive in an ocean of musical noise were all on the table.


Since Kraak & Smaak debuted electronic and dance music have really mutated. For the new album, Chrome Waves, did you guys feel the need to answer this cultural shift?
Chrome Waves feels like something else in a sense, but also a logical extension from our last album,Electric Hustle. It has more organic sounds even though I think we moved creatively down an electronic path. 

How is it more organic?
Well, I’m not sure “organic” is the appropriate word. Over the years we’ve been able to buy synthesizers, get more digital gear, and try out songwriting with guest vocalists. In the end, this gave us more creative freedom to go where we want to.

Are guest vocalists integral to what you do now?
Definitely. We like to take vocalists out of their comfort zone and see how it works with the Kraak & Smaak sound. We’ve always tried to find a middle ground between pure dance floor music, which can be sort of abstract and trendy, and then songs that are more timeless. Some artists are flavors of the month, which works really well for a year or two, but then you never hear from them again. 

Ibiza apparently had an effect on the album. How so?
We wanted this album to be more upbeat, so I think that Ibiza might have influenced us in that way. Dance music in general was influential with the coming of Disclosure, and the return of UK garage and two-step. Then, of course, there was the return of deep house. Dance music has become subtle again, not so crazy and loud. I think we were picking the fruits of that, especially since we aren’t full-on house producers.

What are your thoughts on electronic dance music’s cultural and financial explosion? Has it opened up any new opportunities?
We’ve gotten some more attention because of it, but we’ve been around awhile, and we don’t make music specifically for the dance floor or for big audiences. I think the booming business is really happening in mainstream house and trance music. It’s a bit of a different scene in the end.
I think the enormous surge and interest in dance music in the US could all be over in a couple of years. There is enormous money to be made, which attracts everybody. In the end, maybe more European and UK acts can play the US, whether it’s in the underground or mainstream. The US could become a breeding ground for dance music, but maybe we’ll see the big names crash in a couple of years. Does that make sense? 

Absolutely. Electronic and dance music culture were traditionally very underground in the US, while they’ve always been big in the UK and Europe; which is strange because house and techno come from Chicago and Detroit. So, superstar DJ domination in the US is an anomaly.
I think the US house or dance music pioneers—the Detroit and Chicago guys—got really big very quickly in Europe. They were huge. Maybe that’s typical of a US which eats its young or doesn’t appreciate them until sounds come back like a boomerang. We’re also talking about minority cultures, which is where hip-hop, house, soul, and funk started. In the end, maybe it will all come back, but no one will remember that it came from the US in the first place.

Well, that lack of memory already exists. Electronic music festivals promoters and superstar DJs rarely acknowledge house and techno’s origins. You can’t help but feel that dance music is being sucked dry without a tip of the hat to its originators. 
That could well be, but maybe it’s different now because of the digital revolution. It’s far easier to get your hands on music now. I’m 45, so I grew up with vinyl records and seven-inch singles. It was simpler—you had a gatekeeper who picked the right songs in a record store or for the Top 40. It was also more diverse back then as far as what you could listen to. Now it’s very difficult to get an idea of what is popular or good. People need to find out what good music is again because 95 percent of tracks aren’t listened to, but they’re still there.

What did you grow up listening to?
Apart from pop singles, I listened to alternative and indie music like Sonic Youth. I also liked new wave. I just soaked up everything that was cool, whether it was a pop, disco, or alternative record. As long as it was good, I didn’t care. Maybe in the future we’ll make an alternative guitar record. [laughs]

That diversity of taste allows you to be flexible and timeless. You mentioned Disclosure. They’ve been a big thing in 2013, but if they don’t figure out how to evolve like you guys , they’re dead.
I agree. You can set a trend for awhile, but things pass. If you want to produce music, the debut record is always the first time that you are able to put your best ideas down. That makes it very special, but after that it starts over again. Then you see if you really have the creativity to develop the sound. There needs to be progress and creative space to do new stuff. I think we’re still good at that. If there wasn’t the idea that we could still grow creatively, then we wouldn’t exist anymore.

Stanton Warriors interview

Interview and mix by the Stanton Warriors for the Noisey/Vice.com website
http://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/read/youneedtohearthis-touching-bass-stanton-warriors





Stanton Warriors make bass music; intentionally vague and un-pigeonholable bass music. The Bristolian only constant is unbridled heavy low frequencies. Whether that be house, electro or anything between depends on what side of the bed they get out of. They're also one of the most envied remix outfits having reworked M.I.A., Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim, The Streets, Gorillaz, and Daft Punk to name a few. While Dominic waited for his plane at an unknown airport, we nattered on about Russell Brand, failed rap careers and the art of the remix. Then you can tuck into an hour's worth of this week's Touching Bass.

YNTHT: You’ve been going strong for over ten years, but are the best and worst parts about being in the music industry for so long?
Dominic: The best thing has to be being able to produce our own sound and then being asked to play that sound all over the world. We have been non stop touring since 2001 and still the parties keep on coming. The worst thing has been how the dance music industry of late has become more about brands, cliques, money and who you know pushing it further from its acid house roots based on music not marketing.

We now live in a musical realm where singles arguably run the music industry rather than album. As the remix masters that you are, how important do you feel that remixes are as a part of that package?
Remixes are important as it's great to have your original track reinterpreted by other artists. We have often done remixes just to use for ourselves in sets as it's nice to have such exclusives. Remixes are a staple component of dance music culture from the days of Larry Levan through to the blog bootleg of today.

You’ve remixed for M.I.A., Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim, The Streets, Gorillaz, and Daft Punk, to name but a few. But, which remix are you most proud of?
Our mix of Azzido Da Bass' "Dooms Night" most probably, as it crossed over to so many scenes. We had DJs from the garage scene like EZ, through to breaks DJs like Freq Nasty all the way across to Sasha and Pete Tong championing it. It was always our intention to not be pigeon holed and just to make fresh music.

What do you prefer making. Remixes or originals?
Remixes are certainly easier to do but nothing gives you more satisfaction than dropping an original tune for the first time and the crowd going off. We have done a shed load of remixes saying that. It was nice to get recognised by Mixmag in their top 20 remixers of all time list as well. 

In the past, you've been using your label as a vehicle for your own output, but will this always be the way?
We have decided to open it up to all the new talent we have been discovering of late. Labels like Dirty Bird and Black Butter have led the way with pushing new sounds in an uncompromising way to great success and we would like to do that in our own way. 

What’s the latest movements in that regard?
We have signed new bass talent Mafia Kiss, German electro bass dude, Marten Horger, as well as a load of individual projects which we feel best represents the sound we are trying to push. We are also getting a load of remixes of the artists we sign to incorporate different sounds.

What’s your YouTube guilty pleasure and how did you come across it?
Sometimes you start out on YouTube listening to tracks only to end up watching cats breakdancing. Guilty pleasure today was watching Russell Brand giving interviews about the world. I used to think he was a hipster knob but now I love how he's shaking things up with his eloquent yet thought provoking, humorous rants.

Out of interest, did you ever get to meet up with Twista when you guys worked with him?
No we worked over the Internet. We did however get to meet up with and hang with Big Daddy Kane when we made a track with him. We were quite star struck for the first time! Stone cold legend. Most rappers we have worked with have been either mental or cool as fuck or both.

So you've considered your own, full-blooded rap career, amirite?
I rapped for fun when I was a kid but sounded bad trying to so it in an American way. Being a DJ seemed a better career path.

Finally, what material did you go for on the mix?
This mix is a bit different from the recent mixes we have put up on Soundcloud and our podcasts. We have gone for a slightly deeper, slower, bass kinda sound utilising tracks and remixes from artists like UK bods Woz, Lorenzo and A1 Bassline through to American talent like AC Slater and Diplo and Australian bass stars Motez & Mobin Masters. The connected theme, if anything, is that none of it is house. Is any of it future garage, electro, breaks or just bass music? Who knows and who cares - it's music that works for us in a 4am London basement party environment. 


Amen.
