Featuring a down-and-dirty liquid grime track with legendary bass-music MC, Messinian, alongside a crisp, almost-ambient dubstep track with a hypnotic and captivating melodic lead, Kelly Dean has taken full advantage of this 2-track release to demonstrate for his fans the wildly diverse spectrum of production he has up his sleeve. Whether you’re looking for intricate instrumental hooks or a rowdy vocal banger, Kelly Dean’s smashing new release has it all! – Ethan Baer (dubstep.NET)

A phenomenal combination of deep and incredibly detail-oriented production with insanely complex song structure and highly progressive melodies, Balthazar debut is nothing short of an atmospheric, bass-saturated masterpiece.

The first track, “Eclipse” sets the stage with a powerful, IDM-influenced melody, extraordinarily precise use of effects and a wildly diverse percussion rack. The listener is immediately put into the mindset of a wanderer in a far-off land, witnessing their first-ever total solar eclipse, an utterly mind-boggling and completely terrifying natural phenomenon. “Tools Of Ill Omen” immediately rounds out the release with bombastic bass and a pumped-up melodic lead right out of the gate. A heavy drum repeat heralds the release of explosive and gritty reverb, a funky bass-line and endless bits of variation throughout the track. Concise and masterfully articulated, “Eclipse / Tools Of Ill Omen” is a massive first release for this staggeringly talented new producer.

This NI Massive pack is a follow-up to his previous release of Massive patches, this time Stephan has also created a go-to sample bank for big drum sounds.

Instead of searching through countless sample banks looking for sounds, he has created a bank of his own with many useful drum samples.

He has decided to allow up-and-coming producers to purchase these sounds for their tracks.

The new patches are available now for $15, and the price of the old patches has been reduced to $10. The 2012 Massive Patches includes 34 huge bass sounds, as well as 15 synth sounds for producers to study and figure out the process of creating the sounds.

The sample bank is also available for $15, and we have created a few bundle options that will save you some cash. There is a total of 305 drum samples in the sample bank. Included are 61 huge kick samples, 76 dynamic snares and claps, 102 cymbals, 26 percussion and 40 FX sounds.

The second time in under a year that Mimi Page has been featured on a Simplify Recordings remix album, it has become strikingly clear that this extremely gifted vocalist is rapidly transforming into one of the star singers of the bass-music industry. With powerful and incredibly distinct contributions by many key players in the rapidly blossoming US Dubstep scene, “A Bad Place” from life-long musicians Greco Rossetti and Marcel Saxlund of Shotgun Radio undergoes a series of massive metamorphoses that truly exemplify the dramatic progress made over the last year by Simplify Recordings. A plethora of filthy bass, deeply intriguing melodies and an insane line-up of remixes by bass-legends Bare , Minnesota , Omega , Phrenik and Carrier set this album leagues ahead of your average release. Quite possibly the biggest and most anticipated Simplify record to date, each and every track on the album is fully capable of standing on it’s own as a prime example of what excellent vocal dubstep should sound like.

The crunkadelic Canadians return with their latest offering, and Simplify debut: “Bangin On The System“. Robotic vocals flutter over hyphy synth lines and glitched out rhythms; All of the ingredients are there. It’s clear that Nick “Degree” and Jake Roberts of the have been busy cooking up some serious heat in the Knight Riderz’ studio.
