memekast mk071 » Tinker

For this episode, we give you a uniquely crafted mix of favorites and originals by Bay Area up and comer Tinker.  Fresh back from her Hawaiian Tour in February, we asked her to give us a taste of what the hype is all about.  She absolutely delivered, sharing a selection of bumping tunes with tight basslines, wonky beats, and playful melodies. After setting the vibe with a cheeky remix of Henry Mancini's Pink Panther Theme, the mix slinks along with attitude, steadily increasing in tempo and injecting high levels of head-nodding bass and beats into your blood stream, warping your brain and stealing your heart. This one's not to be missed.

memekast mk070 » Hypnotech

For this episode we take you to a secret underground bunker, hidden somewhere along the coast of Northern California. To give you a mix from the man known by many, simply as Hypnotech. Being the co-owner one of the most well known online music resources for both dj's and listeners of the most cutting edge of todays bass music. We were expecting more of the "dope" hybridized mid tempo, womptastic, west coast, glitch hop and dubstep sound that we've come to expect from Addictech as a label and music outlet. Little did we know that he would send us a deep, dark, and at times minimal autonomic drum & bass mix of all new tunes from around the globe.

In our minds this mix further solidifies him as a downright excellent DJ, top notch selector and purveyor of only the finest beats. Every one of these tracks are seemingly hand picked out of the thousands that he sorts through every year. Progressing from sparsely programmed clicks and scattered beats and then breaking into some deep roller action. It runs the gamut of minimal to techy. It is both thematic and progressive in its evolution without ever straying too far from the sound that binds it together.

memekast mk069 » Ratchet

For this episode, we give you a selection of all original songs from Ratchet. He shot us a slammin' mix, hot off the release of his new album Warp Speed on Ooze System Recordings. It starts out with the uptempo dance floor friendly feel of Natural Movement, the Memekast giveaway track available for free on our Soundcloud Page. After that it breaks loose into his tunes Raw and Family Style, runs through a natural progression of bangers, then settles into some of the more melodic textural material he's released. With subtle tempo changes and on point edits he keeps you listening the whole way though and doesn't disappoint the ears.
