Groove Allegiance return with a cryptic message, are they ramping up the eq's on this new ditty? Is it a term they've conjured up to describe partying and Chris Splank's ever deteriorating state due to his crack addiction? Does anyone really care? No, it's all about the music man!!!
The original is has a wonky bassline, jacking vocal hook, rasping distorted lead and no end of edited synth stabs. Whilst Hijack continue their recent run of impeccable form on remix duties. The bottom end's warm, the vox edits are tight as you like and the groove is jackin' the way only these guys know how. Kelevra's been making noise in the fidget scene recently, and he displays why with this remix, housey beats and a shuffley groove, the arrangement has enough twists and turns to make it a solid dancefloor track. Nice Up The Dance rounds up the package, a solid electro track with an acidic squlechy bassline, vocal chops and plenty of energy throughout.
Having received airplay on RADIO 1 from KISSY SELL OUT, this release has also been getting havey rotation from ASTON SHUFFLE, JAIMIE FANATIC, AQUASKY, MALENTE, HEAVYFEET, ELECTRIC SOULSIDE, WONGO ... get your fix from all good download stores & record shops.
Moston & Malente return to Splank sending out a message to all the wrongdoer's and wrongdoing's in this world, encouraging moralistic and positive action amongst us all, with their new single 'Do The Right Thing' . 2 versions of an absolutely belter, which promises to further cement their position as purveyors of the very finest electronic dance music.
On remix duties, scene stalwarts Twocker step up first, adding squelchy bassline's, big room grooves and first class production, demonstrating why they possess such an esteemed profile. New kid on the block Clark Able shows why he's talk of the town with his version, dropping a completely original sound, going to work on the vocal, warped bass sounds and off-beat percussion.
Having already reached no. 8 in the German club charts, early support has come in from: TITTSWORTH, HEAVYFEET, AQUASKY, AZZIDO DA BASS, LEE MORTIMER, HEXADEMICAL, HOSTAGE, RIVA STARR, KELEVRA, WONGO, THE TOUCH, BASS KLEPH, SHIR KHAN, BRYAN COX, ACID JACKS, DJ ICEY ...
BASSNECTAR: "HOLY FUCK!!!!!THIS RELEASE IS MUY LOCO!!!!!!! i love all 4 joints equally...WWIIIGGGIIIID!!!!"
Check out the latest mix-tape courtesy of Groove Allegiance. An hour long medley of twisted electro, breakbeat & fidgit. All tied together with no-end of cheeky acapella's, edited & mangled up on the fly.
Enjoying success earlier this year on Splank! with 'Organ Dementia/Restless' , Groove Allegiance have also recently remixed Torpedo Boys 'The Disco Song' for Lounge Records and Break The Box 's 'Ghostlicker' for Ground Level . This latest number ' Super Squelch' has already been doing the business at recent Groove Allegiance gigs, the title giving plenty away, as wonky LFO noises provide the fills, whilst stomping beats and a twisted electro hook provide the solid dance-floor groove.
Canadian stalwart Macca, head honcho of Invasive Records, turns up to provide the remix. Catching the eye of Splank! with his recent remixes of DJ Dan's 'Chop Shop' (InStereo) and Robb G & The Phat Conductor's 'Heavy' ( Promo) , the Macca sound has a hint of breakbeat mixed with a big room electro flavour, and with this remix he stays true to his word. The beats are tight, the fills and edits feel quite breaky, and the hook is hypnotic. This one's perfect for the big arena & just in time for festival season.
Strider’s recently provided remixes for Ground Level Records, Control Breaks and Gene Poole, pre-ceded by his previous release on Splank! ‘Inner City Sumo/The Edge’. He’s successfully forged a unique sound of late, matching crunchy beats with distorted bass hooks to create wonky twisted electro and breakbeat.
‘Tokyo Loading’ is a classic Strider affair, vocal edits galore & tight as you like programming, with a Daft Punk (circa Discovery) inspired synth sequence breakdown slotting in between the punchy beats & warmly distorted bass hook. Brothers Bud, which we consider one of Fingerlickin’s finest artists, get busy on the remix. Having last year provided massive remixes of their own single ‘Yap Yap’ as well as Soul Of Man’s ‘Acid Punch’ the guys are back with an absolute belter. Chunky beats, screeching leads and bottomless subs are all present. Not to mention the second to none production skills, just check out the breakdown!!!
Apart from providing summer smash ‘The
Drip’ which topped Beatport’s
Breaks chart, The Groove Allegiance
have been fairly quiet on the production front of
late, focusing attentions towards running things
at Splank!, mixing ‘The Shirk Off’
CD compilation, and gigging, including a recent
2 week tour of Canada and opening the Breaksday
tent at Glade. However, in the last few months they’ve
been locked away in the studio, honing a new sound,
including these 2 new single’s for Splank!
