Ten new trax, brand new for February 4th, 2014 – SHORTIES V.1 by Dr. J!NX.
I asked him about the album, and J!NX (Zac) the empire-creator who both created this album as well as runs different music labels (in this case, Ghettomax) had this to say:
Shorties, just came out today… 10 tracks every week or two, all under 2:00 minutes, by myself… why? Because I eat a bunch of adderrall and writed make DJ weapons…
We also jussst released an amazing textural hiphop album from corduroy strafe, and a completely next level purpletrap 2-side from trichome…
FILE this album under: chicago /experimental / ghettotech /trap beats / footwork / future / ghetto / juke / seapunk trax / Pittsburgh
Hit up http://ghettomax.bandcamp.com/ too, there’s a ton of fun shit there! You’ll feel like you’re walking into an alternative, colorful universe of fast beats and booties full of codeine. Yea, that’s right.
Harper Boogie has been at the controls since last year with his radio show on mixcloud, showing off his mad funkadelic skillz with his awesome series… It’s thick, funky, trippy, beat-driven as all funking fuck; and then it moves into a realm of soulful loops and ambient vinyl grooves that are sure to make you feel juuust right. I haven’t had a chance to hear all of it (as I said, it’s … uh… 15 hours worth of sets.. Actually, a little bit more than 15 hours) but so far it sounds mostly instrumental. Some of it even sounds wonky. (Note: that’s the GOOD WoNKY.)
So if you wanna hear a bunch of music, MUCH of which I guarantee you haven’t yet heard, ranging from modern funk and soul (leaning on the hip hop/electronic tip) you REALLLLLY NEED TO CHECK this stuff out. I PROMISE you will not be disappointed with it. Fo real.
And definitely follow this guy’s site, if you’re into this kind of music, it’ll be well worth it.
Here’s what was written on his site, first in English, then in his native Polish:

“Mikolaj Krencik, alias Miko, apart from his main project ‘Balagany Na Bani’ hip-hop collective, during the last year has also revealed himself as a great editor as well as a re-mixer in the juke/footwork world. After Symbiotic Sounds he was considered one of the most promising Polish producers promoting juke/footwork and his versions of hits like Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe, I’m In It or Bonfire showed the range of musical arsenal at his disposal. For majority of listeners the fundamental question was when his first EP would be released. After a long period of waiting Polish Juke would like to present the first debut material by Miko ‘Do They Know Ya’.
“Do They Know Ya’ brings four original tracks, personal variations on footwork/juke. One should add they are quite surprising variations, which use the illustrative, space and ambient music, evoking emotions, interacting with the listener, attracting him/her. Footwork stays in the background and complements the whole making the basis for the sound, however, sometimes switches to the foreground speeding up the action a bit.
“Do They Know Ya’ is a clear-cut miniature, consistently and consciously prepared. The tension builds up gradually with no intrusiveness or obviousness. What is left is the essence required to please the ear and move the body to the beat.”
The dude’s also got a decent house mix up, and I figured, well, what the hell, why not post that, too, eh? Most electro swing fans also enjoy non-electro house, too.. Or at least, I would assume many of them do.
My homie, Urple Eeple, hit me up about a brand new compilation coming out on Chillage Records, ‘Crunksauce Vol 2,’ and it’s available now at a ‘name your price’ price..
(I recommend throwing these guys a couple bucks though, as there’s a TON of talent and sweat that went into this one, as you’ll hear within the first 30 seconds of streaming the comp on bandcamp)
Here’s what they had to say about the comp:
Chillage Records takes you on an intergalactic journey with their second compilation, Crunksauce Vol. 2. Filled with drippy bass music and innovative soulful beats, Crunksauce Vol. 2 is sure to please anyone with an appreciation for bass heavy bouncy beats. With a pay what you want price tag, this is one compilation you will want to be sure to pick up.

One thing is certain, Chillage Records will be delivering the best in cutting edge west coast bass music in 2014.
Yes, it’s quite a perilous journey, finding good rap and trap vocal samples for your mix. Sure, that old Biggie lyric DOES, unquestionably, sound dope as fuck. But can you use it? I mean, technically, it is illegal, and if you’re going to be selling very many records/downloads, you could get into some ugly legal territory down the line. And why limit yourself? Why pay royalties for 4 seconds of lyrics? Wouldn’t it be great to be able to have free access to tons of decent vocal samples, and not have any SINGLE SHREAD OF DOUBT that you SHOULD or SHOULDN’T use THIS or THAT sound in your new mix? It’s something that a TON of producers have had to think about, and it really can stifle the creative process. Why worry about bullshit legalities when you really just want to create the craziest, most insane electronic album anyone’s ever fucking heard in their entire fucking lives???
Enter, a new (and ridiculously decent-priced sample package that you will be FAAARRR from regretting picking up…
/\ /\ FREE DEMO AVAILABLE BY CLICK THE GRAPHIC ABOVE! /\ /\
..and …
\/ \/ FULL PACK AVAILABLE BY CLICKING THIS GRAPHIC BELOW! \/ \/
Well.. Sounds good. But come on, Bassadelic.com, y’all motherfuckers ALWAYS give us some kind of free taste – can’t we have a dozen or so samples, just to wet our voracious appetites, no questions asked?
NO! …Well, Ok, I changed my mind…
YES YOU CAN!!
Click the link below and you’ll be taken to a fantastical, magical, incredible mediafire link where you can download and immediately start using a bunch of trap samples for free. And, if you enjoy them, perhaps you’ll consider coming back over to the site and possibly picking up the full package? It does not cost a lot, as we do not believe in gauging our friends and customers, unlike a lot of sample pack companies that would easily charge about a hundred dollars for a pack like this. (No, seriously, a lot of big-name companies wouldn’t even hesitate… I could name about a dozen off the top of my head, which I think is one of the big reasons people like our sample packs (because we don’t act like greedy douche bags… but I’ll leave that issue aside for right now)..
The point being, there IS a demo pack, 29 samples (a mere 1/25th the amount of samples that you get in the FULL version) and that demo is available at the linked graphic below:
Give us MORE INFOZZZ!
So, you get 739 .WAV samples (weighing in at around 350 MB) in this sample package from Bassadelic.com
This sample pack picks up where the last one left off, covering a wide variety of trap hip hop style vocal one-shot .WAV samples that are completely perfect for mixing into your next musical production.
You might use them for vocal refrains, rhythmic backing, as one-off vocal FX in the middle of your own verse, or even just on the drop before the beat and the bass in your new trap masterpiece shatter the dancefloor. Whatever you choose to do with theseall original / royalty-free and copyright-free sounds, you’re sure to find some use out of them; they range in theme from talking about clubs, hip hop culture, edm culture, weed culture, tons of modern slang terms, as well as a variety of adult themes and fun dancefloor anthem-style vocal samples. Some are one or two words long, while others are a sentence or two in length – and some are catchy, verbal announcements that are PERFECT for adding to trap music.
People will constantly be asking you, “Hey, what rap song is this from?” But it’ll be your secret ;)
These samples were recorded by two MCs who took influence from rappers such as 2Chainz, Wacka Flocka Flame, Lil B, T.I., Juicy J, Cheif Keef, Gucci Mane, OG; as well as older classic rap artists such as Tupac, Biggie, Jay Z, and Ludacris. The vocals in this package cover the verbal spectrum of EDM and trap – sometimes conversationally, sometimes braggadociously, sometimes angrily, and sometimes just plain hilariously; this pack is MUCH more than just a run of the mill collection of ‘AY,’ ‘YEA,’ and ‘HEY,’ samples that you find in some ‘Vocal’ folders of other sample packages (though, you can be sure there are a -FEW- of those types of samples in here, too. I mean, it IS a trap pack, and this one is DEFINITELY a step beyond comprehensive, as you’ll soon find out…
Anyway, we really hope you enjoy these samples, and come out with some trap hits using as many of these vocal shots as you see fit. You can use them however you want in both commercial and personal applications; however, you can NOT resell these samples, even if you rename them.
