style: electronic beats instrumental dubstep glitch hiphop wonky
format: 320kbps mp3, FLAC,....

The Finest Ego United Kingdom and Ireland compilation is the latest installment in a global series shining a light on new and established production talent. Following from editions covering Japan, Russia and Australia and New Zealand, this new installment brings forward 25 producers from every corner of the British and Irish isles.
On one side you have established talents like Mr Beatnick, Eliott Yorke (of Royalty and Foreign Beggars fame), Kelpe, Jay Scarlett (of Beat Dimensions fame), Om Unit, Sound Species and Ean (formerly Various Production) who have each been working in and around the UK scene for close to a decade now. And on the other side you’ve got upcoming – sometimes under new names – talents: Danny Drive Thru from Manchester, S Type and Soosh from Scotland, Darkhouse Family, Monky and Mr Healan from Wales, Bobby Tank and fLako from London, Lapalux from Essex, Huess from Bath, Benjamin One from Bristol, Sert One from Northern Ireland and Eomac, T-Woc, Naive Ted, Mikey Fingers & Vince Mack Mongrul and Melodica Deathship from Ireland. All these producers have been slowly but surely establishing their names in hip hop and electronic circles over the last few years.
Finest Ego United Kingdom and Ireland compilation represents many of the best talent around these isles today. It is by no means a definitive document though it is one of the strongest and most relevant ones you’ll find today. From straight up hip hop styles to downtempo, ambient electronica via boogie, dub and techno interpretations, Finest Ego UK and Ireland represents a snapshot of some of the best established and upcoming producers in these countries at the beginning of the ’10s.

Stroon/Stratasoul - Molotov Heart Cocktail / Lowitzer EP

Stroon/Stratasoul - Molotov Heart Cocktail / Lowitzer EP

label: Exitab
released: 15 July 2011
style: wonky abstract glitchhop electronic
format: 320kbps mp3

Molotov Heart Cocktail / Lowitzer Ep is a militant sonic manifesto of Bratislava’s upcoming synth-fi gang, whose main protagonists are the DJs and producers Stratasoul and Stroon. Inspirations ranging from house and soul to wonky, glitchhop and bass define their production: multidimensional sonic assemblages revolving around the topic of love.
Stroon’s Molotov Heart Cocktail is an euphoric but distorted memory of a club where everybody has their hands up. Reality, twisted by various substances, is penetrated by a steady beat, accompanied by Stroon’s trademark distorted walls of synth. Stratasoul’s romantic gangsta glitchhop overlaid by dancehall snares climaxes in an epic refrain with vortexes of pitch-shifted vocals that decompose in cascades of echoes. Mutual remixes confirm the complexity of the preached sound - Stroon and Stratasoul’s method of choice here is cut-up, nevertheless as it is the case with love - the intricate ones fascinate us more.

tracklist:
1. Stroon - Molotov Heart Cocktail 04:36
2. Stratasoul - Lowitzer (Stroon's Remix) 04:16
3. Stroon - Molotov Heart Cocktail (Stratasoul Remix) 03:21
