A little background on the REAL story behind this next artist, The Robot Dentist.

“I was once the leader of an intergalactic robot alliance that was sent to this place to destroy the planet [Earth]. Once here, a series of divinely inspired prophecies were fulfilled, and my mission was aborted. Not content with returning to the evil grasp of the Universal Republic, I laid down my command over the robot forces and decided to stay on Earth. My new mission was to teach humans the lost secrets of the ancient cosmos, bridge their souls with the farthest reaches of space, and open their hearts to the wonders of the universe with music.”

Well duh. We all already knew this, right?

A trip across the universe might just have been what Ian Squires needed to amalgamate genres like dubstep, glitch hop, trap and future (shit, for all we know me may be from the future!) bass in the fashion you hear on each track. Below, we give to you, free of charge of course, The Robot Dentist’s latest release.

“Combination” is simply quintessential in its inherent overtness. Meaning, for one, the title of the song blatantly represents exactly what it stands for, a fluid cohesion of EDM styles. Moreover, the multifaceted dynamics of each genre on “Combination” are aptly chosen in way that “reads” (I guess “plays” in this circumstance) quite simply and is relatable to the average EDM listener. Overall, solid production.

By the way, The Robot Dentists initials are TRD.

Haha, Terd.

The 808 king is back, and we couldn’t be happier.

Lorin Ashton, otherwise known as Bassnectar, released his version of a summer EP titled, Take You Down earlier today. The EP consists of three new original tracks, a remix, and a classic Bassnectar jam that we’ve been bumping for quite some time now.

The title track of the album, ‘”Take You Down”, exemplifies Bassnectar’s summertime style; packed with pulsing chords, emotive synths, and heavy 808’s, this song epitomizes summertime Lorin. The second original track features one of Lorin’s good friends and confidants, Ill Gates. Bassnectar was excited to throw “Expanded” on the EP as he admits it is his favorite collaboration between the two. For those producers out there, check out Ill Gate’s presentation below that he gave a while back. His unique and reputable take on productivity and creativity attest to a truly creative-minded individual.

The third and final original track to make its’ way onto the EP was originally added as a little piece of “sonic brutality” to the mix. An unexpected gem in our books, “Raw Charles” takes the phrase high energy to a whole new level.

The fourth track on the EP, “Colorstorm” was finished two years ago. Unbeknownst by most, the track never saw an official release despite its’ popularity. Bassnectar considered releasing it as an EP but in the end decided against it. So after a long journey, it has finally found a home on Take You Down.

The fifth and final track on the EP is another version of Bassnectar’s, “Take You Down”, this time reworked by West Coast Lo Fi.
