Dexter’s Beat Laboratory is a weekly collection of songs from DA music editor and staff writer Robyn Dexter. With a taste that can only be described as eclectic — to say nothing of a name that lends itself to punnery — DA is happy to present a selection of tracks personally curated by Dexter for your listening pleasure.Since they’re on tour together, it was only a matter of time until we got some form of a San Holo/Just A Gent collaboration. Australian producer Just A Gent has flipped San Holo and James Vincent McMorrow‘s “The Future” into some unclassifiable futuristic (appropriate, right?) bass madness. He’s classified his flip as “newskool trap,” and as always, his sound design is top-of-the-line. Read more about his creative process in our interview with him earlier this week.It had been 10 months since Irish producer Murtagh had uploaded any new music… until eight-minute “Pressure” hit his SoundCloud profile on Nov. 14 and refreshed his fans on his style — which, by the way, has changed drastically. “Pressure” is vastly different from the release before it, “Synapse,” which the producer attributes to honing his style and realizing the kind of music he wanted to produce. “The new music will be more focussed than what I have released to date,” he explains. If what’s coming is anything like the cinematic, bass-heavy journey of “Pressure,” I’m looking forward to it.Autograf‘s “You Might Be” was enchanting in its original form: a picture-perfect hopeful song about the possibility of new love. Seven months after its initial release, MICA has put out his own rendition of the track. He’s turned it into something even more moving, including emotional soundbites from The Perks of Being A Wallflower and The Spectacular Now to complement the slow-paced remix he’s crafted. Its dreamy, spacey feel brings out the passion behind the track, and it’s entrancing.Remember “Smooth” by Santana and Matchbox Twenty’s Rob Thomas? It came out in 1999 on Santana’s Supernatural album and was a huge hit, winning three Grammys and charting across the globe. When a modernized remix of it appeared on Bishu‘s SoundCloud, I was promptly carted off to my childhood — this time experiencing the song in a whole different light. Bishu’s remix plays up the Latin flair of the track and adds components of contemporary dance music, making it fresh while still hitting the nostalgia factor.Ever since his incredible covers of George Michael‘s “Careless Whisper” and Alex Clare‘s “Too Close,” I’ve kept an eye out for new material from Prismo. His latest single, “Pretty Stranger,” surfaced on Nov. 10 and has remained in my music rotation this whole week. With its catchy vocals, lighthearted melody and a bouncing beat, he’s once again hit the mark.Read More:Dexter’s Beat Laboratory Vol. 14Dexter’s Beat Laboratory Vol. 13Dexter’s Beat Laboratory Vol. 12

SLEEPY TOM RETURNS WITH DANCE ANTHEM ‘ALL ON YOU’ Known for international hit single Be Right There with Diplo and his remix of Martin...

I’ve had the personal pleasure of catching Kompany live recently, which means I’ve had the pleasure of hearing some of his Kill Humans EP with a full sound system. I was highly impressed and now that we’ve ran through all four singles in the dojo, all the ninjas are on board with this amazing EP. Released through our friends over at Firepower Records, this four track project is a treasure chest of bass. “Kill Humans” kicks off the EP with some dark, cinematic sounds that lead into some insanely vicious growls that will rip your speakers to shreds if you aren’t careful. Next comes “Creepin’,” a twerk-friendly beast whose in-your-face attitude fits just in line with the EP’s overall tone. The only collaboration on Kill Humans comes next in the hybrid “Arcadia,” which was created alongside TYNVN. Lastly, “At ‘Em” closes out the project with it’s machine-gun style bass work. Overall, Kill Humans is dope through and through. Get your copy of the EP today through digital services.

In 2016, Monstercat picked up an insane amount of new artists. Newcomers like Notaker and soupandreas made their debuts, as well as some well-established names like Marshmello and Seven Lions. Out of the dozens of new recruits, the one I happened to glance over completely was a young Ohioan talent named Glacier. Though I didn’t think he and Q’AILA made a great pairing on his label debut “Dancing by Myself,” Glacier’s instrumental followup release is nothing but pure bliss. “Neos” uniquely combines future bass and jazz with a danceable beat, making for an undeniably catchy, yet creative work. Additionally, the song is riddled with varying instrumental solos, ranging from synths to straight-up flute. To showcase his range of talents, Glacier has also released an accompanying music video for the song. In it, Glacier is shown playing out each part of the song on different instruments, edited to be showcased as – almost – a full band. At one point, even, there are six Glaciers on screen at the same time. The video is both captivating and amusing, I would highly suggest a watch. If you like it, support the artist with a buy below!
