Bad At Names - Fifteen Minutes Of Fame

So if you keep up with our blog on a regular basis you'd know that Critical Bass recently broke up as a duo and I went on to another project with another friend of mine named called Bad At Names (Matt Welborn and I). We've recently been trying to really find out what we want to go for as a duo. After weeks of discussion we've finally decided! If you are a big fan of the MajesticCasual channel on youtube or a fan of artists like Flying Lotus, Tokimonsta, Ryan Hemsworth, and xxyyxx than you will most likely like the type of music we are going to release.haha! Chillwave, chillwave trap, garage house, deep house and whatever else we feel like making at the time. We'll let our creative minds take us down the path they would like to go through.To give you more of an idea of what we are going for as a duo we made a fifteen minute mix for you all called "Fifteen Minutes Of Fame". I hope you all enjoy this short happy majesticlike mix and I am looking forward to releasing some ear candy for you all as Bad At Names :D

[TRAP/BASS] Damn Kids - Ussu EP (Free Download)

After an incredible start to 2013, including remixes for Mark Knight & Pleasurekraft, continuing his mix series ‘My Last Mix Ever’, and seeing an almost permanent placement in the Beatport charts, Damn Kids announces his first free EP entitled ‘Ussu’. To accompany the lead titled track ‘Ussu’, the EP also features a diverse soundscape with ‘Gxlden Bxy’, ‘Oxxu’, and ‘Undxr’.

Damn Kids is by far the artist that impressed me the most so far in 2013, expect huge things from him in the future!

Ussu

Taking charge as lead single, ‘Ussu’ wants no prisoners. Rolling hats and synths layer the track with a death defying wobble lead overtopping a low-end bassline tailored to break jaws on the dancefloor, all the while a chanting ‘we are Ussu’ chants in before the 2nd break leads into a moombahton switch up for added variation.

Gxldxn Bxy

Forming what might be referred to as a hybrid of Trap and Tech House, ‘Gxlden Bxy’ is suited for those with a palette for sub-bass. Crisp claps and snares accompany thudding drum programming throughout, as booming 808s vibrate along in tune to scattered and overlapping vocal chops in standard Damn Kids procedure.

Oxxu

Influenced with reggae vocals straight from the island, Oxxu could be considered a weapon suitable for a Notting Hill Carnival sound clash. Deep vocals flow while the drop sees an overdriven saw tooth tweak through with intricately arranged snare rolls for added flavour. All remains consistent until a D&B excursion takes effect before another sudden switchback into Trap chaos.

Undxr

Forged in darkness, Undxr rides with a bassline that you’d expect to be used during Voodoo ceremonies. Chop & screwed vocals set the emotion of the record before being chopped in every direction imaginable, all the while seeing clanked claps and hi hats bring a layer of sharpness to balance out the rumbles.

[DUBSTEP] I Am Legion (Noisia + Foreign Beggars), Tritonal, Tim Ismag, Lykke Li, Seven Lions, No Doubt, Lumberjvck, City 17, Helicopter Showdown & More!

Dubstep ain't dead, that's for sure! Big things are still happening, one of the biggest thing to happen in the bass music world recently is the new band "I AM LEGION" formed by legends (and yeah legend is the proper term here) Noisia and Foreign Beggars. I have so much respect for big names dropping freebies, I mean, they can right? Some of them have private jets, I consider pretty selfish artists not giving a free track at least once in a while! Also one of the labels I have much respect for is "Play Me", they drop many freebies every month, more labels should take that route and give to their fans more. I hope you enjoy this new dubstep playlist, all free download friends!

[MOOMBAH] Austin Wallball, Minnesota, Psymbionic, Dface, Kanye West, KTLYST, Salva, Brenmar, Kingman Fire, ClickNPress, Ricky Vaughn, Pusha T, Justin Timberlake, PeteSnacks

It's been way too long since the last Moombahton/Moombahcore/Glitch Hop post, it seems less and less producers dig into this groovy music, Trap is getting all the attention now. It's a shame though but at least a lot of artists are getting into some 100BPM Twerk sh*t (or whatever you want to call it), it remains Trap to me. Enjoy this small playlist, having a good collection of 110BPM songs is a must for any DJ crates! All free downloads!

[MOOMBAH/TRAP] Justin Timberlake - Tunnel Vision (ClickNPress Remix)

Brooklyn-based DJ duo CLICKNPRESS remix Justin Timberlake's "Tunnel Vision" in their own style of Moombathon. If the name ClickNPress rings a bell, it might be because of their "#twerkmiley" remix we posted last week! They are talented and are just getting started dropping quality freebies! "Tunnel Vision" is a great blend of Moombah and Trap music, a combination I'd love to see (hear) more often! Keep an eye on these guys!

What Makes a good DJ set by Humberto Mendez

So yesterday I came across an argument of some local DJ’s. It started with one of them saying “going to be dropping bombs” at said event. Then other dj’s came along and said “I’m going to drop better tracks than you”. From there it went to this full on argument about which one of them was a better DJ. It made me a bit disgusted to think that instead of them saying “good luck on your set” they would much rather talk crap about each other. But it also made me think about what makes a DJ set interesting for me. As a writer and producer I go to shows, A LOT! So I have seen a bunch of local talent as well as some of the beatport charting artists you are all mostly familiar with. I know when I like a set and when I don’t but I really haven’t thought about the aspects of what makes a live set great for me. I sat down for a couple of hours to give it some thought and came up with this. Note, this is about what makes a set for ME so of course it’s an opinion. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and this one is mine.

1. Intro and Outro

You may be thinking that the first thing you should do is start with a “guaranteed banger”, though that may work for some, it sure as hell doesn’t work for me. I like sets to be a story or a rollercoaster, I feel like every set should have a build up and how can you build it up if you start with some HUGE track right from the start? You’re going to bore me if you do that. I suggest you look into having an intro and outro with meaning. If you produce, make your own. Maybe some movie quoting or something melodic. I really enjoy the intro for Knife Party and Above and Beyond was great when I saw them start with “small moments like these” at the first weekend of Ultra Music Festival. I think the way Porter Robinson ends his shows with “Language” leaves a huge impact on the performance. An intro and outro can make your show just that much better for me and hopefully for others.

2. SONG SELECTION!

This is crucial as hell. If you’re playing beatports top 100 you’re just like 90% of the other DJ’s and I am not even going to come near your stage while you’re performing. It pisses me off when people perform banger track after banger. I get it, “Animals” is in right now. But remember that thousands of other dj’s are playing it as well. If you want to make people go “Woah what the hell was that” I suggest performing your own tracks a lot more. If you don’t produce then perform your friends tracks! If you don’t have friends that produce try finding some underground tracks on soundcloud. The internet is a great tool, use it! Using tracks that are not too known will make people more interested in the song. Warning: prepare for phones being out with the shazam app. You’ll tend to have that effect on people if you take this piece of advice haha.

3. Video & stage production:

Last but defiantly not least! I’m not expecting every DJ out there to perform at a venue that has an led stage or a projector but you do perform there you should always, ALWAYS set a gameplan for video production. Videography can give you a great advantage. Funny videos, unique illusions and lyrics can really make your performance more interesting and that means it can leave an impact on the viewer. I typically like to have my logo for the end and some points in the middle. Since I am lucky to have a .png (transparent logo) I put a cool scenery video behind it. I personally also like to put some videos of glovers giving lightshows also. Everybody has their own idea of video production. For some great inspiration I suggest you see the comedy of a video show that is a Dillon Francis set or the complete epicness that is a Deadmau5 video production!

This is really just what I enjoy in shows so this isn’t a fullproof plan on how to make your set incredible for everybody but more of a viewpoint from somebody who put some thought into it. Who knows, maybe these tips will have you becoming a more memorable local performer! I guess you can’t knock it until you try it!

[TRAP/BASS] Jay-Z - #TwerkMiley (Somewhere In America ClickNPress Remix)

Definitively the dopest remix I've heard from Jay-Z' new album MagnaCartaHolyGrail, this is so fresh!!! ClickNPress destroyed this with elements from so many styles of music including Trap and Dubstep. Top quality production, can't wait to hear more from them!

ClickNPress is an upcoming dj duo coming out of Brooklyn, New

York. Kaleb “KQuick” Rollins and Marc “Fresh2Def” Soto met while

attending NYU’s Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music where they

majored in music production and audio engineering. During their four years

at NYU, the two found themselves deejaying the local college club scene in

lower Manhattan under different monikers. In 2013, the idea for ClickNPress

emerged as the duo began working on various dj mixes, remixes, and original

productions. Their open format style allows for a mixing of genres and

sounds that make what they do truly unique. It seems like this sonic tag

team is going to be one to look out for. Currently, ClickNPress are spinning

at various NYC hotspots in Uptown New York and planning several

international tours.

ClickNPress bring you the #MagnaCartaHolyGrail of twerkdom!! Reworking

Jay-Z's latest offering "Somewhere In America", they take the turn-ups to

the doorstep of Miley Cyrus herself urging her to do what she does best!!

It's simple.... just TWERK MILEY MILEY!!! TWERK MILEY MILEY.... #TWERK !

SUMMER OF HOUSE 2013 - PART 4 [BIG ROOM] Featuring: Nicky Romero, Avicii, Fedde Le Grand, Carnage, T-Fresh, Borgeous, Jackson Days, Robert Rude, Brian Matrix, Digital Switchover, Klaud & Many More!

I know I didn't provide your dose of House music in the past 2 months, whether its Progressive House, Electro House or Big Room House, I focused a lot more on Bass music and I'm sorry for the people that aren't happy about that. Last week, I took a whole day to listen to every House music submissions I received (over 200) and kept only the best ones to create the "Summer of House" compilation! The result is 69 banging songs for free download! Since I couldn't fit 69 tracks in one post, I divided them into 4 parts:

(Click on the part you wish to view to open it in a new tab)

Part 1 - House / Indie Dance / Nu Disco / Tropical / Tech House / Minimal / Electro Pop
Part 2 - Electro
Part 3 - Progressive
Part 4 - Big Room

The final part of "Summer of House" is here! Last but not least, Big Room music is what's hot right now, people in festivals are having "Animals" overdoses! Since it's so popular right now, free Big Room releases are pretty rare, artists know they can make a few bucks by selling this trendy s**t so they choose that option! However, some producers like Borgeous, T-Fresh, Jackson Days, Bryan Matrix, Gazzo and many others are generous enough with their fans and give their Big Room monsters for free! Make sure you check 'em out if you dig what they do, after all it's the least you can do, they work countless hours on productions they give away for free!

Make sure to scroll down to the bottom to find DJ Knoxx Festival Issue mix, if you need one mix in this festival season, big house music, summer anthems, you will be pleased with his track selection and mixing skills! Knoxx is a beast!
