Alonzo feat. Anasia / Up All Night / DOWNLOAD

Exclusive release only here first,  this is some ultra-modern Miami Bass,  with attitude.   Shouts to RAGE (BK+MIA - inkheads) for sending this one over.  Both Alonzo + Anasia are Miami natives living in Brooklyn and I think the NYC influence can be felt with the hardness of the beat & lyrics but it also has that classic MIA bounce.

IDM (intelligent dance music) edition - Zone3’s Bonus Traxxxxxxxx
Once again this is the section where I post music I cannot fit into my daily posts by theme with direct download’s but no preview players.  So you just have to trust me that all these songs are classic’s of IDM and worth downloading.  For me these were the songs I used to bump at parties in college in the late 90’s.  This is by no means a comprehensive deep selection of IDM but more my greatest hits from the heavyweights in the genre.  Download and Enjoy.
1. Aphex Twin - We are the Music Makers - DOWNLOAD —- early bass heavy bouncy work from the album (my favorite of his) “Selected Ambient Works 85-92” perfect chill-out track.
2. Squarepusher - A Journey to Reedham (7AM mix) - DOWNLOAD —- This song is the jam great soundtrack for any road trip. From the album “Big Loada”.
3. Squarepusher - I Wish You Could Talk - DOWNLOAD —- More intense than the above track and super complex yet sublimely simple. From the album “Go Plastic”.
4. Squarepusher - Massif (Stay Strong) - DOWNLOAD —- A very cinematic track that has a funky breakdown.  From the album “Big Loada”. Squarepusher has produced many albums and is a legend if you don’t know of him get familiar.
5. Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country - DOWNLOAD —- This is one of those songs that makes you feel like you are high without the cost of doing dope.  This track slides down your ears like honey.
6. Autechre - Bike - DOWNLOAD —- Another dark bass track,  I would love to hear someone rap over this. Autechre has been around since 1987 on warp records and have some of the illest music videos (click here to see one). From the album “Incunabula” made in 1993.
7. Autechre - Lowride - DOWNLOAD —- This verges very close to hip-hop sounding like some experimental space bass ala Bass 305. also from “Incunabula”.
8. Autechre - Montreal - DOWNLOAD —- A very accessible track compared to most this has a driving smooth’d out beat yet still dark. From the 1994 album “Amber”.
9. μ-Ziq - Slice - DOWNLOAD —- Pronounced like the word “music”. I discovered this dude in college when this album “Royal Astronomy” came out in 1999 I spent hours bumping this in my cd walkman walking the streets of NYC. He has many alias’s and side projects so read about him on wikipedia.  He even did an album with Aphex Twin.
10. μ-Ziq - Goodbye, Goodbye - DOWNLOAD —- This is the late night coming down song definitely on the emo side of idm yet a great track for the end of the night. From “Royal Astronomy” as well.
If you don’t already have them in your collection these are a must download for any electronic music fan.

Disco Rick / Fuck Around the Clock / DOWNLOAD

Disco Rick is a down south hip hop legend from Miami having mentored the likes of Lil Jon.  This song is RAW so I hope you have a sense of humor as it is not meant to be sexist against my female viewers,  as I am only presenting a piece of Miami Bass history from 1990.

Magic City DJ’S / Magic City Rampage / DOWNLOAD

Magic City is now by far the most infamous strip club in the world having been name dropped by many rappers over the years.  It is located on the west side of downtown Atlanta and I had the fortune of filming a short comedy film there years ago so I got to see the locker rooms and ins and outs of Magic City one of the highlights from my film career. 

The Magic City DJ’s are lead/produced by  Danny D most known for “Boom I got your Girlfriend” and my guess they are not repping the downtown ATL club but repping Orlando?  This track/album is interesting as it blends booty-shake and 90’s hip-hop turntablism. (A lost art). For more DANNY D related posts click here for the archives.

NINE INCH NAILS - DOWN IN IT (MUSIC VIDEO)

An industrial beat that bumps bass I feel this track could provide a hip-hop to industrial link,  something I have waited for yet never seen as my teen years were spent enamoured with industrial music.  This video has some great low budget SFX.

Nine Inch Nails has recently put out a fan made tour video,  This One is On Us,   from the 2008 tour check it out HERE.
