Keep On Bumpin

One of the songs on this son-bitch has been over 2 years in the making.  After hours of toil, we are extremely proud to release our newest EP.  We are fed up with the lack of class among the world, so we shall fill this heinous gap one Disco House track at a time.  Hope you have as much fun dancing to it as we had making the album art.  God bless Piracy.

<3 Bastille

Bumpin EP - Bastille (ZIPPED)

Furthermore, I really gotta give a huge shout to my boys gLAdiator who were just named one of the top Moombahton artists right now HERE.

Market Price

I like my dance music how I like my Fatty Tuna.  By the end of this post, you will too.  Introducing Market Price, a brand new duo comprised of Goj!ra and Valentino with one of the freshest original Moombahton productions you can find.  Furthermore, Goj!ra lays down one of the best live DJ sets I've ever seen.  This is some real live up and coming shit right here in LA, and you heard it here first, which makes me cool right?  What would the DJs be without us bloggers.  Nothing.  They should pay us for giving out their tracks.

Market Price - Talk Trash (Original Mix) by Market Price
Huge.  I actually can't wait to drop this.

KALAMARI [Summer Mix '11] by Market Price
Here's that excellent mixing I was talking about.  Get fuckin hyphy fools.

P.S. gLAdiator is playing at the Standard in Hollywood tonight, if you live in LA you should roll through to hear another big up and comer in the Moombah scene.  Check the facebook event here.  It's 21+, so skinny bitches get out we don't want no skinny bitches.

Lucky EP Out Now

Our bestest buddies that go by the name of gLAdiator just released their debut EP on Noise Porn Records, featuring a remix from Bastille!  Who the fuck are Bastille?  I don't know, but they sound awesome, and they had that one killer Cold As Ice Remix from way back, remember?  Or what about that delicious B More edit of Modjo's Lady that gLAdiator put out? Anyways, you should check out the EP on Beatport.  It's pretty killer, and its also the Beatport debut for both gLAdiator and Bastille.  Support the little guy while we keep screwing the bigger ones together.  Who doesn't want to be Robin Hood?

BMore and a new contributor

Ah Baltimore, the home of so many awesome things: club music, drugs, violence, this guy right here. Know his name? I'm sure you do. Gimme dat name and get a whopping +5 Bastille Love and Admiration Points (it's my first post so I'll keep it small).

Baltimore Club Music, or BMore, is a style of club music based HEAVILY in sampling and formulaic drum patterns. The beat relies on a booming kick that's somewhere between four on the floor and Dutch house style. The kick is assisted by a big reverb'd (spelling?) clap and some classic BMore samples, known as the "chirp" and the "woo!...ey!", I'm not even making that up. The genre is dominated by a few heavy hitters but is flooded by hundreds of different djs remaking the same song with those Lil Jon "WHAT?!" and "OKAY!!!" samples. Here's a small sampling to whet your taste buds, expect a little artist spotlight soon. These are all a banana of some kind.

Let's Get Down (Original Mix) - DJ Punish (Golden Banana)

You may not know this song by name, but you will know it by the sample. Better lube up those ear pussies, this post is just getting started.

Hands Up Thumbs Down (High Powered Boys Remix) - Blaqstarr (Silver Banana)

A Classic BMore track that has all the aforementioned components. This song is particularly popular IN Baltimore for the "Hands Up, Thumbs Down" sample famous to classic BMore.

Fuck You (Emynd BMore Edit) - Cee-Lo

I don't particularly like "Fuck You" as a track but the addition of the BMore beat and some key claps make this song an INSTANT college panty dropper. All dem college bitches love dis shit. Yeeeeee, muffins.

Rude Boy (gLAdiator BMore Edit) - Rihanna

I...ahem...also make a little BMore with my dj partner/hetero life mate Ian. We call ourselves gLAdiator, more on that later.

Jump (Dumbo BMore Edit) - Kriss Kross

Another friend of the blog, Dirty Dumbo, puts a little BMore flair on a classic 90's hip hop track. Again, college panty dropper. Any time you can get the crowd to say anything it's a winner.

Okay, so you got through my first post. Not terrible, right? Sick. So my name is Danl and I'm part of the dj duo gLAdiator who you may have seen featured on this very site! The Bastille boys (Jumpman as well) have been nice enough to invite me to post on the blog. I'm a big Dub head with an interest in groovin' beats, things that stray away from the standard 4/4 (eg BMore). Look for more posts in the near future!

Obscure Video Game Character #5

I feel like this one might be kinda easy, because he's so unforgettable in his role.  +200 Bastille Love and Admiration points for whoever names this creepy fella in the comments.  And please don't submit your answer as anonymous, It's hard to Love and Admire you, I might just have him do it instead.  Maybe this dude could find the other writers for this blog, I'd very much like to know where they are.

Unleash The F**king Dada (Original Mix) - Dada Life (GOLDEN BANANA)
They are fantastic, and have been.  I'm glad that they decided to stray away from the pitch bend / hoover sound, because this is purely massive and incredible.

GoGo Girl (Dirtyloud Remix) - Spencer & Hill
Another fantastic Electro House bomb.  BRASSSSSSSIL!  GOLAAAAAAASOOOOOOO!

Dissolve (Bloody Beetroots Remix) - The Chemical Brothers
Looks like they can actually still put out a good track.  Still not QUITE the excellence they were, but great track by all means.

What's Up (Original Mix) - Alex Kenji, Thomas Gold
Tech House in all it's glory.  This is for the ravers, and god this track would kill at one.

Sunbeam (Original Mix) - Spencer & Hill
Electro House from Das Germans.

Regurgitate - Statelapse
Face melting Dubstep.

Teardrop (Knight Riderz Remix) - Massive Attack
I'm really impressed with this one, good Dubstep remix of a classic.  Tempo is very fast, so its hard to mix.

Body Crash (Original Mix) - Buy Now (Silver Banana)
Who remembers this one?  And if you don't, that means you need to download it now.

Yup, it's Borgore.

Where is this sample from?  Who on earth would make something like that?  And in case you were wondering, crazy Dubstep track.

Great for "Guess That Video Game Song" which is something I do usually while setting up a gig.

gLAdiator vs. Tiger

That may be one mean looking Tiger, but its got nothing on the up and coming producers from my lovely hometown Los Angeles by the name of gLAdiator. These guys stay true to their city too, mixing the worlds of Electro and Hip-hop to make music that's undeniably cool. They also run a great blog which everyone should check out HERE. While their sound is still developing, I have big expectations for them and know that what comes next will be even better.

Arcade Riot - gLAdiator
Fun, bouncy, Electro/Fidget Very video gamey, lots of fun. Should get your crowd jumping.

LoveGame (gLAdiator Remix) - Lady Gaga
I have to admit about how reluctant I was to post anything related to the baby woman, but this remix is fresh as hell. Great kick drum.

Back Sally Up - gLAdiator
TI vs. Moby. Not a dance track, just one of the best made mashups I've ever heard. Ever.
