For this episode we are proud to present Bass from Above. The new album from SubSynthesis.com and GlitchDrop.com mixed in entirety by Pairadimez (iONik + r.e.g.). The first in a series of all-original exclusive compilation albums from SubSynthesis & GlitchDrop showcasing many new and establshed artists. Mastered by Bill Bless. Featuring 22 original tracks by producers such as Freddy Todd, Sugarpill, Gladkill, Stephan Jacobs, +verb and many more. This album was originally intended to be sold to help fund future releases, until the recent Japanese disaster. Everyone involved decided to donate the proceeds to the disaster relief efforts currently underway in Japan.

To celebrate our 50th Memekast we are teaming up with ill.Gates to announce the launch of the new illGates.com and releasing a 20:11 megamix featuring all the heaviest ill.Gates releases along with two new bangers, complete with elephants and muthafuckin' monkeys*! We got a chance to preview the new site last week when we co-hosted the Sound Theories Workshop. If you are at all interested in being a DJ, digital music production, or in the psychology behind how music makes you feel. You should check out the new illGates.com. It's full of information, videos, tips, tricks and loads of freebies.

"The first new track is a remix of King Kapisi's Safari created with Kiwi badman Flex during the No Sleep Til Tokyo tour, the second new track is a Drumstep remix of T.O.B.’s Decoy written with Muti mastermind Dov."

+ 30 Minutes of New Tutorial Videos!

For this episode of the Memekast we were lucky enough to catch up with San Francisco's Bird of Prey. His psystep hybridization of breaks and dubstep has been showcased on releases by Addictech, Cyberset, and Vaporvent.

He also has an upcoming Addictech EP due out in the next couple months as well as a brand new website launch. Expect quite a few surprises from him in 2011. We're stoked that he had some time to get us an all exclusive mix just for the Memekast.
