HISCORE 800 by Punchout! Recordings

The Black Russian is a legend amongst most in the Kootenay’s and will forever impact the lives of the people who had the pleasure to know him and surround themselves with his outlook on living life to the fullest.

Homebreakin’s close friend, BLK RSN aka Josh Evin, was involved in a tragic accident last year that took his life. Josh was a great guy. We like great people. So Homebreakin decided that it was a good idea to get all of our close friends, ask them to produce a tune and create a serious crate of tunes that pay tribute to Josh. This compilation was assembled, arranged and mixed by Homebreakin artists in honour of Josh Evin.

Filtered For Your Pleasure EP by Punchout! Recordings

Neighbour & Thinktank – Lando EP by Homebreakin Records

On the heels of the wildly successful Night Owl single, Neighbour and
Thinktank are blasting off again, this time to everyone’s favourite
tibanna gas mining colony, Bespin. The next installment in their
interstellar journey centres on Lando Calrissian, the hard-drinking,
space-weed puffin’ administrator of Cloud City. Home to carbon
freezing chambers, darkside double-crosses, weathervane cliffhangers,
and a nightclub scene to rival anything else in the quadrant, the
hovering city serves as a waypoint for bounty hunters and rebels
looking to rest their weary hyperdrives. Are there still any girls
reading? Didn’t think so. (correct me if i’m wrong, we can play some
Counterstrike, maybe you can join my clan..

While obviously being a little obsessed with Star Wars, the boys have
come correct with some serious subwoofer rattling business here.
Zapp-style analog bass rides an irresistible midtempo boom-bap and
lays the perfect foundation for Thinktank’s spitfire verses, and in
between ‘em, the chorus features duelling synth leads and hair-raising
squelch chords. Finish it off with a smooth-as-carbonite B-section
that leaves plenty of room for cuttin’ and scratchin’, and you’ve got
yet another smash hit from space-rap’s hottest new duo.

Remix numero uno comes from the marvelous Tad Wily, one of the
hottest up-and-coming boogie producers out of the UK. His signature
cool-edit style works a treat here, flipping the percussion groove and
synth stabs into a frenzy-inducing disco workout. The bouncing, plucky
analog bass drives the track, providing the perfect backdrop for the
vocals, which have been re-dubbed and refocused to fit his blasting
space-funk style. Unbelievable showing from a great new talent.

Up next is Germany’s Funkanomics, known for pumped up discofunk
remixes and a striking approach to bassline-oriented midtempo. In this
mix, they juxtapose modern bass modulations and monstrous drum
programming with classic funk touches. Wailing sax and flute,
clap-a-long beats, and Think Tank’s hilarious vocal lead to a
fantastically mellow breakdown and buildup, before delivering us back
into bass-face territory for a final romp through their wobbly world
of bass.

San Francisco is home to many amazing producers, not least of whom is
the esteemed Tal M Klein, proprietor of the inimitable Aniligital
Recordings. Known for his unorthodox arrangements and intriguing
instrumentation, Tal provides a perfect contrast to the rest of the
mixes by blending acid, disco, and ethnic elements in his dub mix.
Three distinct sections allow crafty DJs to choose their flavour, my
personal favourite being the ecstatic third portion that focuses on
soaring vocal harmonies and a stripped-down focus on the original’s
B-section bassline. 303-style synth arps lend an otherworldy quality
to the first half of the mix, and a flute driven breakdown reminiscent
of Karl Denson moves this opus along to its conclusion in ecstasy
land.

Last but definitely not least is Homebreakin’s own GSD, or
GlowStickDan. Dan Murray is known for his witty banter and constant
acrimony as the label’s in-house blogger and web guy, and locks down
multiple DJ residencies in Calgary, Canada, birthplace of the label,
western-style ginger beef, and the caesar (look it up). In his mix,
Dan explores 80s dance single b-side territory with vintage drum
machine flourishes, swirling dub-fx, and some iron-chef chopping
skills to rival Emmeril. Be on the lookout for the upcoming “Filtered
For Your Pleasure” EP on Punchout Recordings, a release curated by GSD
that explores modern filter-house sounds. He’s also all over this
Moombahton thing, whatever the fuck that is.

“Blast off to Cloud City, that’s the plan bro!”

Ivan is arguably Calgary’s hardest working DJ playing 3 weeklies in town + rocking other shows as half of Hej Zeus ( along with DJ Heebz ), and as half of The Longhairs ( along with GSD ), as well as constantly traveling outside it sharing his longhaired gospel. He has also been trying his hand at production as of late having his Moombahton edits blogged about by some nice folks, including the good people over @ Diplo‘s Maddecent. If you live in Calgary and haven’t seen our lad play, you can, and should check him out Tuesday’s @ The Ship & Anchor for Punk Rock Bingo, Thursdays @ The HiFi playing @ one of Cow-Town’s longest running and most influential weeklies, Hai Karate with The Smalltown Djs & Dj Pump, & Fridays @ Radiopark with DJ Eight – O. Check.
