Two new releases from Javabass Recordings came out simultaneously today. The first one came from London based Indonesian producer Audesine. Lazer Sight & Descent both are bouncy electrostep based beats overlay with haunting vocal & javaneese ethnic instrument samples. Definite unique sound.

Waktu means “Time” a more deep bouncy jump up oldskool break cuts with simple electro & ethnic lines, then Serigala or “Wolf ” open with little bit of drumstep then rolling to faster amen breaks and both overlay with their signature the out of tune drunk vocal. Its raw at its gets with Jakarta street style..

Diplo – Express Yourself EP

Diplo is definetely of of those producer that refused to be put into one genre. He constantly jumping genres from crunk to Bailefunk, to dubstep to whatever genres out there. Express Yourself EP is his first effort in doing the New Orleans Bounce. New Orleans bounce itself is a genre that I’m not familiar with. Upon first listen it has that chopped up sample similar to Bmore then it cros into something similar to moombahton and bouncy rap on top of it. Well, I’m not sure if my description of New Orleans Bounce is accurate based on this tune because I’m not sure whether this tune is a true Bounce tune or it’s Diplo’s interpretation. I will leave it for you to decide.

You can also download the EP via Hulkshare: http://hu.lk/wv5mxzewfb0k

Local Flava: John B ft. NSG – Light Speed (Radio Mix)

Some of you might wander why a John B tune is listed under local flava when he’s actually from the UK. The reason is because of his collaborator in this tune NSG. This is not the first time that this MC/producer NSG who is Indonesian featured in this blog. Previously we mentioned him in his collaboration with Indonesian female hip-hop mc Yacko in her track Brrapp! and also his online collaboration video that went viral on youtube.

Now that we got that out of the way, Light Speed is the tittle track from John B’s 4th album. It got all of John B’s trademark sound of big room trance that gives you euphoric and uplifting vibe blended expertly in drum’n'bass format. Basically the currently trendy techy/trancy sound of drum & bass owes a lot to this man. John B’s sound is definitely not for everyone. Many drum & bass purist have accuse him of stirring drum & bass too far away from its root. That’s what purist are though, always afraid of changes. As for me, I love the idea of drum & bass incorporating other style. The more the merrier. Variety is the spice of live ain’t it?

John B’s Light Speed is out now on Beta Recordings and available at Beatport.
