El Cancion Primer: “Out of the Unknown” by El Haijn
I heard a preview of this track and it became an immediate favorite. “Out of the Unknown” is a part of the “2999″ project by Peppermill Records and is the second free song from the album. There are more each week. You can listen to this one right here:

El Cancion Secundo: “Non-finite” by San Jaya Prime
Next up is this week’s release from “IO Vapoura [Variations]“. A few handful of people have been waiting more than a year (some more, some less) to get the finalized copy of this one. It’s “Non-finite”, a chillout adventure into vocal beauty amid serene moments and clashing beats. Click play to listen, click the down arrow to download, click the weird bracket “Share”-thing to tell others (it looks like </> and I have no idea why!?).

The future is now. Peppermill Records has brought artists from around the world together to score the year 2999. It’s a bass-heavy, subbass dubstep grimey playground and woofer candy on an entirely new level. To name just a few of these artists: Kraddy, Alphabets Heaven, The Widdler, Mochipet, Stagga, ill.Gates, Robot Koch, DNTEL, Raffertie, Cardopusher, Taal Mala. Here is where to check it out:

“Arka” by Alphabets Heaven (the 2999 competition winner) is already up for free download on the main page. Click on the spaceship art for it to bring up its page. There will be a new track every week, many with their own art and all handcrafted to maximize their futuristic bass potential. Stay tuned every week for a new track and keep an ear open for “Escape from Hunahpu” by Jaya Prime from this same collection.

UV: Ugress, the mad scientist of music, leader of the European Robot Alliance and an inspiration to all hybrid artists, is celebrating his ten year anniversary this November. Part of the celebration includes releasing his fifth full studio album. The yet unnamed album, based on the incredible albums building up to this, will likely be nothing less than amazing. For more on this, check out the good doctor’s blog entry “Ugress 5: November 29th, 2010“.

2999: Just weeks until “2999″ begins. P K and the Peppermill have organized so many bass-heavy, sci-fi inspired artists to bring together this futuristic themed album. Expect Grime, Dubstep, Acid IDM and much more. Jaya from the T.Rex DigiLab is on there, alongside other artists. Here’s a short list: DNTEL, Mochipet, The Widdler, Robot Koch, Kid606, Jason Forrest, Elemental, Cardopusher, Taal Mala, Longwalkshortdock, Satanicpornocultshop. update! Tracks have started releasing. Here is where to follow as the tracks are released from week-to-week: Peppermill Records – 2999

And the rest the year? In fact, I’ll include what’s already come out and cover it all at once. Because of how many updates there are, I’ve actually moved this list to a Google Wave. As long as you’re not on Internet Explorer, you can pull up the list right here on our site (I suggest bookmarking it):

I’m happy to note that the majority of the list (so far) is from the open-core scene and can be downloaded for free. Even a lot of the others are from the hybrid scene and have at least one (if not more) singles up for free download. Open-core is making a big push and the talent in the scene is off the charts!

I’ll keep updating the list as the year unfolds and will likely do this for years to come.

The other main dedication of my energy this summer is going to be with Bee Limitless, as an amazing friend who is behind the company has taken a journey that is nothing less than incredible. To help ensure his passage on this journey, I’ve buzzed into the honey shop and will not only be maintaining, but pushing it forward. Here’s where to check it out:

The rumor is that there will be new illustrations all over the album, so keep an ear on May for that deep, broken subbass sound coming out of the future. To listen to some of the rough drafts of the two tracks I submitted, check my SoundCloud here. I have a list of peeps to thank that I’ll post with the next update on this project. For now, back out into space for me…

IO Vapoura [updated scratch tracks] by Jaya Prime

Pepper Mill Records has invited open-core artists around the world to collaborate with them on an album themed on a painting, based in the year 2999. Yes, you read all of that correctly. For many of you, for us and for millions of others this is “right up our biomechanical alley”. You can hear an early version of the track SJP will be submitting as “Synapse Collapse” in the previews above. Ghost Face Geisha is working on a submission as well. As always, Pepper Mill comes with the cannons sparking. Here’s where to find out more (deadline is April 18th):

2999

The Glitch Mob let loose a little more than a whisper yesterday when the prerelease cut of “Drive It Like You Stole It” hit the HypeMachine, XLR8R, Twitter and anywhere else that runs on Internet-for-blood. If this is just a taste of what their new album and proceeding tour have in store for the year, they may well dominate even more strongly than they did last year. Nothing may be able to slow these beasts… and why try? Download the single for free via HypeMachine here and add it to your favorites.
