Gramatik - Epigram label: self-release released: March 25, 2016 style: future funk soul hiphop dubstep bass downtempo electronic format: 320kbps mp3 Denis Jasarevic, a.k.a. the Brooklyn-bred DJ/producer Gramatik, isn't afraid to drive the conversation. And on his new album Epigram, he reminds us who's in the pilot's seat by continuing to expand the boundaries of what EDM can sonically and themeatically be.
Like his hero Nikola Tesla, Gramatik infuses his work with social and political relevance, bucking the genre's trends while sticking to his signature electro-funk sound and mastery of electronica. "Satashi Nakamoto" and "Back to the Future," which feature rapper ProbCause, are quintessential compositions stuffed with vocal samples, chopped orchestral samples, and blues guitar riffs. Then, there's tunes like the faux-trap "War of the Currents," or the dark disco "Corporate Demons" which mark new territory for Jasarevic.
As he told mic.com, "I specifically like combining samples from like five to six different songs from different genres and different eras of music, taking bits and pieces of each song and warping and tuning them all together to form a new song." The title of the album's first song, "Tempus Illusio," meaning "to make an illusion of time," alludes to Gramatik's mantra of fusing samples from the decades long gone with new age synthesizer soundscapes. An epigram is a brief, interesting, memorable, and sometimes surprising or satirical statement. This is the essence of Epigram, with each song its own statement. Here, Gramatik continues weaving overt and subliminal political themes into his music. Further repurposing the sounds of the past, polishing his own signature synth style, and collaborating with a range of unique talents, Gramatik has created his most diverse and futuristic album to date. tracklist: 01.

Merc Yes - A Loaf Of Beatz EP label: Internet and Weed released: November 2, 2016 style: bass bailefunk electronic format: 320kbps, wav Merc Yes of Harlem, NYC, brings dense, gritty booty rhythms and shiny, melodic sweetness with his debut EP. Playful and bouncy meet gritty and heavy on Internet and Weed Recording’s third release. It might be what you’d hear in a back alley club a few blocks from Sesame Street. Heavy bass and beats, influenced by tropical bass and jersey club, get a glossy bubblegum treatment on these four new tracks. Female vocals, chopped up, shimmery, and often ridiculous, bounce on top of deep bass and aggressive grooves. Available on itunes, spotify, bandcamp, etc.
Merc has a history on the experimental side of several genres before emerging as Merc Yes. Previous projects include All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors, an experimental rock band with a world wide cult following as well as Ifwhen, another experimental project with live players, samplers, heavy beats and plenty of bass. As one half of the DJ/production team MRC Riddims, he’s has been spreading an odd perspective on dance music across much of the US and EU for several years. tracklist: 1.

Whiteboy Funk - High Society EP label: self-release released: November 15, 2015 style: nu funk breaks bass beats electronic format: 320kbps mp3, FLAC, .... Whiteboy Funk, aka Lev Melvin, emerges straight from the dry south of Israel.
A musician since 6 years of age, Lev started his way as a pianist and studied classical music for 7 years. As a teenager growing up, he discovered the magic of punk rock and electric guitars and decided to switch his focus from studying the piano to mastering the guitar. Since then, the life of an innocent boy has turned into a musical mission of life and death.
While exploring various musical genres, Lev fell in love with Punk, Funk, and HipHop music. During his career as a guitarist, Lev has collaborated with different bands and played with the most versatile artists. Lev breathes and eats sounds from all that the world has to offer, ranging from hardcore punk, Funk, Reggae, Hip Hop, and of course electronic music.
Discovering the Bass Funk genre in 2011, Lev fell in love with the sound, and the next step was the birth of Whiteboy Funk.
Along with music production, the love for this sound led Whiteboy Funk to contribute to the Israeli Bass Funk scene by hosting parties with the finest local DJ’s, bringing his favorite artists from all around the globe, and putting the genre on the Israeli map. tracklist: 1.
