High Powered Boys “Crash”

As the freshly minted Marble imprint continues to steamroll through 2011, the world was recently treated to its third release, a two-track single by Surkin and Bobmo (a.k.a. High Powered Boys). The club-lovin’ production duo stuffed this 12″ with the high-octane jams “Girly” and “Crash,” and was also kind-hearted enough to let you have that b-side free of charge. This big tune comes on strong from the get-go with hyped-up vocal samples, bubbling sound effects, and spacey synth melodies, and wastes no time taking things to the next level. A stuttered, punchy beat and a head-rattling bassline announce the drop, but we soon find that Surkin and Bobmo have only just begun. You can get more info and listen to the flip side of High Powered Boys’ new single here.

Grab 2 Bad Mice’s Mix for Fact Now

UK-based web mag Fact celebrated its 250th podcast yesterday (incidentally, we’ll be celebrating our 200th next week) with a monster of mix, delivered by ’90s-rave veterans 2 Bad Mice. The trio’s hefty DJ set clocks in just over an hour, and comes with a sizable tracklist that features the likes of Urban Hype, Kicks Like a Mule, Phuture Assassins, The Sorcerer, Underkut, 2 Bad Mice themselves, and others. There’s one hell of a write-up on the back-story of 2 Bad Mice there, too. You can check it all out on Fact, here.

DFA Associates Jam Factory Ready New Record

We haven’t really written much about London-based duo Jam Factory (just this Ben Westbeech remix they did, so far), but that’s not to say the pair hasn’t been busy. 2010 saw Jam Factory remixing tunes for the DFA and Strictly Rhythm labels, not to mention dropping a couple of house-heavy singles, and now, producers Dan Beaumont and Ben Rymer have a new record ready to share: their latest single, “One Night Stand.” The tune, which features the inimitable vocal stylings of ex-Rapture singer Mattie Safer, will soon be made available via the outfit’s own label, appropriately called Jam Factory Music. Before then, you can check out the label artwork below.

If there’s one thing you should know about Colorado-based noise-house-goth-pop producer Pictureplane, it’s that the dude—born Travis Egedy—knows how to turn the party out. Last week he turned out another one—full of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey games, hula-hooping, S&M, Silly String, and more—in the form of a music video for his new single, “Real is a Feeling,” shot, directed, and edited by his friends Sterling Crispin and Neil Ewing, and starring a few local Denver music celebs. Check it all out above, and then grab Thee Physical, Pictureplane’s forthcoming LP for Lovepump United, when it arrives on July 19.

Mr. Beatnick “Casio Romance (BNJMN Remix)”

Multi-facted DJ/producer/writer Mr. Beatnick (pictured above) has a new EP dropping soon from the Don’t Be Afraid label, called Synthetes. Although it’s not among the original tracks on that record, we’ve got an excellent house rework by fresh Rush Hour signee BNJMN. The talented Brit dips “Casio Romance” into a warm bath of swirling ambiance and deep vibes, quickly lathering his remix with a fuzzy bassline or two and sending it on out the door with a healthy four-on-the-floor beat. It’s the kind of tune that could likely go on at least four times longer than it does before anyone bothered to notice, but listening for roughly five minutes does the trick, too. We certainly wouldn’t be surprised if someone dropped it this Friday at the EP launch party in London. (via FACT)

Mathew Jonson Returns to Minus for New EP

It’s been seven years since Vancouver-born, Berlin-based Mathew Jonson released his first EP for Richie Hawtin’s Minus imprint, Decompression, and he’s about to make his return to the label with an EP entitled Learning to Fly. The record’s title track is a 12-minute sci-fi techno cruiser, replete with Jonson’s punchy percussion and melodic synth lines, and is rounded out on the b-side with another dub of the track. “For me this piece reflects clarity and harmony,” says Jonson of the release. “Richie Hawtin is someone who has always inspired me to take my work to new levels, so it’s fitting that Learning to Fly will be released on Minus.” The EP comes out June 13 on vinyl, and digitally on June 15, but until then you can check out “Decompression” below.

Nocow “Moonlight Flit”

Even as the internet continues to circumvent borders and make seemingly any kind of music available with a few simple keystrokes, certain corners of the globe remain veritable musical question marks. Russia is a prime example. It’s a giant place, a nation undoubtedly ripe with artists and musicians, yet the country’s reputation when it comes to the modern musical landscape often boils down to its role as a massive clearing house for pirated material. Nevertheless, that hasn’t stopped mysterious St. Petersburg-based producer Nocow from cobbling together lo-fi, experimental beat work that seemingly borrows from both UK bass music and the Low End Theory crowd. His most recent EP, Pulkovo Heights (pictured above), came out earlier this month via the Siberian Gimme 5 label, which also doubles a a blog. “Moonlight Flit” didn’t make it on the record, but it’s a choice offering that combines clattering, Burial-esque percussion and moody atmospherics with smooth vocals that could have been taking from your favorite ’80s R&B slow jam. If other Russian producers have this sort of talent up their sleeves, it’s time to open the floodgates and really see what the rest of the country has to offer.
