I have New Year’s Eve on my mind, so when I heard this track I thought of dancing outside with 2,000 of my friends with the San Francisco skyline providing the back drop. Thanks to my friends at Really Really Big Records for the beats.

UK duo NAPT have been working hard over the last couple of years personally branding their own breakbeat niche called: N-Funk. They take elements of breaks, electro, and whatever else they feel like, and turn it into tracks that will light up the dance floor. Their latest remix, Ce Loo’s single “Fuck You,” takes Gnarls Barkley’s vocalist anti-gold digger lyrics and punishes it with bass ladened kicks and stabbing synths.

New Zealand reggae group Stonerange are pushing sounds from their isolated island that takes Jamaican dub past the twenty-first century with edgy-electronic production, but keeps some of dub’s original sonic integrity. The juxtaposition will be a winner with electronic and reggae fans alike.

From the time I discovered there was a world of great music seething beyond my brother’s record collection, I have spent the majority of my energy exploring music that is new to me. I grew up listening to hip-hop, electronic and jazz. By the time I was 14 I started bedroom DJing. During high school I started my perpetual mixtape quest. Eventually I amassed enough gear and dirty-used records to turn what should have been a laundry room into a home studio. Two of my songs where deemed worthy enough to be included in Fun Fun Fun Recording’s Mp3 Jackpot Winners Vol. 1 – Meditations (by a father), and Sick. It was during that exciting time that I first heard of MP3. I immediately saw how artist like myself would be able to exploit this new technology as a vehicle for delivering music straight to their fans. Subverse2ten is the latest median that I use for discovering, filtering and distributing new music to music fans who find themselves always slightly ahead of the curve. I still hold the same enthusiasm and love of new music as I did when I was a kid. I hope you enjoy the music you find here as much as I do.
