Mixpak FM: AC Slater

November 18th, 2011

Mixpak 026 is brought to you by NYC’s AC Slater, member of the Trouble & Bass crew and head of the Party Like Us label. His first major EP, Jack Got Jacked, released on Palms Out in 2008 dropped with a bang, and he has since been in hot demand for remixes and co-production across the world, delivering for Crookers, Boys Noize and more recently with Big Sean, Bart B More and Drop The Lime. He is as comfortable making dubstep as he is rave-inspired tracks and funky house and probably also holds the title of having the only huge club tune based around a sandwich.

His Mixpak FM offering gives you an idea of his club set: Tomb Crew to Torro Torro, Beyonce to Big K.R.I.T, alongside his own remixes and those from the T&B fam. Big Brooklyn bass.

The Bass EP

Trouble & Bass has just released “The Bass EP” which features two collaborations spearheaded by club vet Bart B More with T&B label mates AC Slater and Drop The Lime. True to its name, the EP is very, very bassy.

VIDEO: Dre Skull – I Want You

September 29th, 2009

The talented Pomp&Clout follow up their excellent work on the glitched out, grainy VCR tape “Jeffer” video with the beautifully trippy Dre Skull synth pop track “I Want You.” What starts off as a laid back karaoke-style cruise down the Vegas strip (if Las Vegas collided with Tron in space) turns into a ravey, visually gorgeous acid trip complete with gigantic casette tapes and sunglasses flying through the air.

The “I Want You” single with remixes from Bobmo, Bok Bok, AC Slater, Alex Gopher and Dre Skull can now be purchased on iTunes, and if you haven’t checked out the white vinyl Bok Bok VIP remix of “I Want You”, it just came back in stock at Boomkat. Huzzah!
