FractalStein, the powerhouse of a glitch hop musician, has released a new EP with Dynasty Shit (Bassadelic’s record label) and it’s a fucking incredible release.
It’s full of bouncy, unique and melodic synthesizers that gently lift you up and take you to a magical, psychedelic rave world – but then the hardcore trap and thumpin’ glitch hop bass lines start banging away, reminding you to dance!! FractalStein is one of my favorites right now, and I’m sure he’s going to be doing a lot of incredible things in the future. He’s definitely one to watch. If you don’t believe me, take a listen, below! He makes some of the most forward-thinking glitch hop anyone’s ever heard. It bounces all over the place, and yet, at the same time, it does it in a very organic way; it feels like a very concrete and actualized musical vision.
Anyway, long story short, it’s dope as fuck, it’s free as fuck, and you might as well give it a shot.
This is, as stated, a release from the new Bassadelic record label, Dynasty Shit… But not only that, it’s also THE FIRST release from Dynasty Shit! Get ready for a LOT more incredibleness. We’re defnitely going to be emphasizing the jungle footwork side of things, though not always. Glitch hoppy trap style shit, like this FractalStein ep, fit right into our mantra of releasing high quality and cutting-edge electronic music. Basically, we want to give you as much hardcore / mezmorizing material as possible. We want to blow your mind completely with every EP, every LP, every compilation, and anything else we release.
Scientists don’t yet know how to encode LSD into a sound wave, but when that day comes, WE PROMISE WE WILL UTILIZE THAT TECHNOLOGY! Though there aren’t any drugs in our actual audio files, there might as well be, because our music is insanity in a sound wave. So, basically, we’re almost like drug dealers. I guess that’s why we’re trying to say. Hmm.
So!! Mark Kloud, the creator of many fine things related to footwork jungle, has created Ground Mass, a new record label. Among other things, this label promises monthly footwork jungle compilations for the rave-lovin’ masses! Well, the May 2013 Compilation of Ground Mass is NOW AVAILABLE, and as I stated a minute ago, it’s FREE!
Ground Mass looks to be a really fun project, and I’d like to thank Mark Kloud for spearheading this shit. He beat me to the punch as far as the release of a compilation on my footwork jungle net-label, Dynasty Shit, but hey, it’s not a competition [in fact, electronic music has always shown itself as being a very cooperative and resourceful culture to everyone involved, with a very plur-esque (yea, ‘plur-esque,’ yea, that word just got dropped) attitude, so I’m not gonna bitch about it.] Ha. Plus, Mark Kloud is going to have a tune featured on Dynasty Shit’s first compilation. So, to quote Method Man, shit’s like bing-bang!!
So head on over to groundmassmusic.bandcamp.com to pick up the comp FO FREEE! Some REAL fun shit on this mixtape!!! You could listen to it there, or feel free to listen to it below, as well.

Aaaaand here you go:
Enjoy this raw dope footwork-jungle material, and expect many more good things from this exciting new label!!
What’s up! A new month is here! Finally, another full-length month (I always am uneccessarily irritated by months with less than 31 days..) and that means it’s time for a bunch of brand new content from Bassadelic dot com.
Lots of exciting things have been going on here, and I’ve been getting up to a lot of projects lately.
The Dynasty Shit label is about to have it’s first AND SECOND release, very soon! Look out for some incredible footwork-jungle material. VERY soon!!! The first release is either going to be the Dynasty Shit Compilation, with a variety of fine musicians, or an EP by 5ifty$ix K, with an old modem’s worth of delicious beats!
Also, some good tutorials are planned – and a new sample pack is going to come out this month. What is it? Ooooh, you’ll see – but I’ll tell you one thing, it will be a sample pack to complete the trap-pack trilogy initiated a few months back.
Also, started a new forum for juke producers and fans. Very excited about that, as there are already a lot of very good people over there, chatting it up and offering some high-quality music for everyone! Should continue to be a blast!
There’s also an interview with KidLib coming out in the next couple of days. I’ve planned some real fun stuff for Bassadelic this month, and I hope you enjoy consuming it and learning from it as much as I enjoyed creating it :)
Alright, well that’s it for now. Thanks for reading.. Now, for no reason at all, I will leave you with this image of a woman with StrangeFlow records on her boobs…
StrangeFlow recently started up Juke Music Forum to give juke/footwork/ghetto dance/jungle-juke producers/etc a place to go to discuss new tracks, show off new tunes, learn new musical techniques, and generally shoot the shit about juke music.
It was started about two weeks ago, and there’s already some really fun stuff going on over at JMF. Though since it’s a new forum, the site does go and off due to traffic, but that should be taken care of pretty soon… (Remember when Dubstep forum started? Yea, that first month was a mess…)
So anyway, if you’re a fan of this style of music, or a DJ / producer, or just a curious onlooker, feel free to sign up and join in the conversation. So far it’s a really great crowd, and StrangeFlow’s number one rule (which appears on the introductory post in the general tab) is, simply, “don’t be a cunt.” Every forum should be so lucky. For the time being, it looks like the rule is holding pretty soundly.
CLICK HERE to get a demo / starter sample pack for the new, ‘StrangeFlow’s Authentic Electro Swing Samples Volume 2’ (the new big sample pack, available….here!
That’s about it for this post. Short and simple. Just thought I’d mention this free electro swing samples demo / starter pack. Pick it up now, and if you like it, please consider getting the full version. All of these samples are vintage as hell (well, except for the modern manipulations and modern swing beats that come included with this electro swing samples pack :)
The original ‘StrangeFlow’s Authentic Electro Swing Samples’ turned out to be the most popular thing on this site (with the possible exception of the trap samples) and I decided I wanted to make another package. This new ‘electro swing’ package is even better than the first, in my personal opinion. But unlike an episode of Mad Men, you don’t have to know what happened in the first to enjoy the second one in this series! This second one is my favorite :)
These are some vintage electro swing samples for you, from the sample series that has, in effect, defined what this site is about, to many people. More than I initially realized, to be honest. And this package here? Well, it’s “even more vintage-er” then the first! Why, you may ask? Well, for one thing, while there are definitely some classic big band jazz and swing tunes on here, and some hot artists like Paul Whiteman or Fanny Brice, there are also some real rarities that many fellow electro swing – loving crate-diggers just DO NOT HAVE in their collections. And for another thing, all of these samples are from the mid-1920s or earlier, the ‘Golden Era of Jazz,’ as it were!
These are not recreations or sound-alikes, these are real jazz samples, in some cases remixed a bit around the edges, here and there, to make them more club-ready, and dancefloor-accessible.
Here’s a demo track made entirely with samples from this package:
So, if it’s authentic swing music you’re after, look no further, you’ve found the most vintage samples IN EXISTENCE. There are no other products ON THE MARKET like ‘StrangeFlow’s Authentic Electro Swing Samples.’
All of these samples are copyright-expired and royalty-free, so you can do anything you want with em, privately or commercially (you just can’t re-sell this product ;)
So, since electro swing is a mixture of some cutting-edge electronic dance beats fused with old-time jazz music – this pack contains both modern beats, as well as older jazz sounds that were left intact – however, all of these samples have been cut and sequenced so that they are ready for remixing/original music composition in any of a number of modern dance styles, such as house, hip hop, techno, moombah, dubstep, electro, complextro, and trap, just to name a few.
Some of them – well, MANY of them, in fact – have been edited, here and there, modernizing them in a cutting edge way for the dancefloors and swing parties that are taking place ALL ACROSS THE WORLD right now, from Paris to New York to New Delhi! The tempo has been listed in the file names of each sample, as well as the artist and song names sampled, where applicable.
In addition, we thought we’d drop a special gift on this release: a BONUS sample package – 150 Moombah beats. If you’re a fan of modern house music, you’ll probably know that moombah has ALSO been killing dancefloors lately! So, if thats a sound you are interested in, then youre in luck.
What else? We’ve included 17 different jazzy vocal samples to mix into your tunes! From Fanny Brice to Marion Harris and Bert Williams, these vocal samples are a lot of fun to mix into the groove.
Ah, yes, and in addition to this, we’ve added 30 funky snares. We’ve provided as many audio tools as possible to get you started and have fun making the swanginest songs on the scene!
All of these files are in .WAV format, the most widely-accepted audio format.
So, below is what’s included, in total, in this package:
– 61 swing music samples/loops
– 15 modern swing beats
– 17 swing music vocal samples
– 4 FX sounds: authentic vinyl audio to mix into your tunes
– free gift # 1: 150 moombah beats
