Here we go, this is the real deal. We’ve all been super exited about this release here at the Scattermusic HQ for some time, from first hearing the hype and heavy original, to then having three amazing remixes come back from our extended family.  Perhaps more than any of our previous releases, this baby sums up where our sound is at right now as a bunch of certified music nerds. Check the official press spiel below.

From the inner reaches of Scattermusic comes Mu-Gen, with his own distinctive brand of warped, percussive, distorted and slightly mad club music. After playing a pivotal role in the Melbourne club scene for the last fifteen years, playing festivals, touring abroad, running club nights, and contributing to numerous side projects, Fizzdom represents his first and well overdue solo release. The result, an unruly beast where marching snares collide with fragments of dancehall toasts, non-regulation lasers, mile-deep kick drums and atmospheric disturbances. Fizzdom is a lethal club weapon bound for packed and sweaty dance floors around the globe, having already gained support from respected DJ’s such as Dave Nada, Sinden and Neoteric.

Remix duties are correctly handled by Munchi (NTL) who slows down the tempo while turning up the heat to create a certified heavy moombahton thriller, Sam Tiba (FRA) who shifts things into a more slightly stable yet none the less freaky club stomper and Mexico’s Maria y José flips that whole deal into a grinding, psychedelic, cumbia rave anthem.

At the inner core of Scattermusic is Lewis CanCut with his clean cut, calipo / splice nature. Always perverting club tropical beats, layering bass like cake, flipping a sound library into a deep carnival crumpet. A flanged horn forms raspberry kisses, and a punch and kick resemble the crowd participation at the West Indian 2010 20/20 Cricket Finals. LCC is Melbourne’s Pizza slice of Cumbia’s and Carioca. His gumbo is titled Neon Saxophone. The fiesta can he heard in Get Low and Can of Drink both preaching club tropical, and the now revered Cumbia Theme adds to this chapter via respect to a traditional Cumbia rhythm. The whole project then gets a remix treatment via a huge Latin connection. Chico Ye gets Mexican and puts the tribal club touch to Get Low, the Netherland’s Sonido Del Principe drops cumbia club tropix over Can Of Drink, and Scattermusic newbie’s Cumbia Cosmonauts re-shake Cumbia Theme, knowing its full heritage, then sending it to Alpha Centauri. The package is 100% tempos for a tropical throw down, and is the essential club package from LCC and his cohorts.

Scattermusic is proud to announce the label’s fourth official release, ‘The Calling’ by Melbourne based producer Lucid. It’s a solid package of three original tracks and not a single remix to dilute the charisma and raw energy of Lucid’s tunes. Tough dark spaces bound together with relentless marching snares and fragmented vocal shouts that make for an unrivaled hype-soaked sound. As warped and bubbling Dutch house meets landscapes reminiscent of Detroit’s golden era of techno, ‘The Calling’ is the perfect record for a packed nightclub at 4am.

Grab every tune for free!!! To give us some monetary support please buy the release on Juno and iTunes.

Scattermusic releases DirtyBeats first official EP with remixes by Tom Piper, French Fries, Swick, Slap & Dash. A truely amazing package and DirtyBeats’ first official release. Really excited about this one, it’s been getting heaps of attention and support already and i think has already settled into a Scattermusic classic (in our minds anyway) Enjoy…

The fourth release on Scattermusic sees us traveling to a favourite Scatterblog part of the globe for modern music: Mexico. A young, relatively unknown duo, DirtyBeats have been hiding away in the Tijuanan desert jungle to put together an EP that truly captures the essence of Scattermusic.

The way the EP came together exemplifies the advantage of the blog/label hybrid. The track “Alone In The Jungle” was sent to the Scatterblog promo email and immediately picked up and posted. Romance was born and DirtyBeats were signed on for a multi-track release that has steadily grown into it’s own monster. The EP is like a deep-space voyage into the artists’ musical landscape: heavy on over-compressed basslines and obnoxious spacey vocals, combined with plenty of rave chords and sampled folk instruments.

“Alone In The Jungle” is a bouncey rendition of everything Scattermusic loves at the moment. A set of angry hand drums and wood sticks, strange synthy effects, hype screams set out in space-verb land and a huge deep bassline that you never truly appreciate until you hear it in a dark club at peak time. “Whats Happen” gets even more wild (and we mean wild) and dark. It’s a tune that always manages to make other DJ’s run up to the booth to stare at our computer screens. The raveyness is almost reminiscent of a Laidback Luke track – just add some explosions and some sort of amphetamine. “Shiaww” then steps into the territory of what sounds like an upbeat, freaked out Mexican Cumbia tune, if not by all the accordion then certainly by the cheesy sampled radio voice dominating with calls of “La chica sexy”. “Carnival Trip” comes in late, much like it should when you play it. Drawn out and brooding, yet constantly rolling, it references a minimal San Franciscan sound as much as it recalls Revolver, Melbourne at 8am.

The remixes throw us into four different areas of club music; a mix-mash of genres all brought together by one constant in the Scattermusic sound – “Hype”.
To call Tom Piper’s track exciting would be a gross understatement: it’s a tour de force in the art of remixing. After a few listens you might start to realise that there are almost no new sounds, everything is merely a well edited sample. French Fries takes the feel of the title track to a whole ‘nother level, really taking on the “Alone In The Jungle” theme. Moving away from his trademark Ghetto Bmore(ish) Club sound he invites us into a new world, sinister and minimal. Swick’s Tropical Club hit is completely infectious and spells out F.U.N. A young producer from Melbourne with an upcoming Scattermusic release, he needs to be watched with a close eye. Finally, with a trademark Ghetto Hip-Hop influenced Dance tune, Slap & Dash flip the whole release on it’s head – distorted marching drums, hectic percussion and phat, warm bass are no stranger here.

SCM-003 sees Scattermusic team up with the one, the only, the legend, Edu K. It’s a fun-fuelled trip through varied styles of dope club music and is one that holds close to our heart. Edu was of course our guest DJ at the first official Scatterblog Presents… party back in feb this year, which saw us put together our first release package, and was essentially the start of great things to come.
We feel like we’ve been blood-brothers with Edu ever since, so we’re obviously super excited to put out this release by him. We’ve managed to get together a whopping 7 remixes, making the EP feel more like an album.
(Forgot to mention that this ep is getting played by a heap of great djs, and soon to appear in some mag write ups by some special peeps – and Mom & Dad’s remix was charted #1 by Brodinski in his December chart.)

Edu K has been a master of dance music for years. From his forward thinking Baile Funk to his Rave Zombie Electro and now his worldy, percussion inspired tech house, Edu K has always managed to shock and inspire his audience with his take on music.

His first release with Scattermusic is a 2 track EP, packed to the brim with remixes. The EP includes the tracks “Ja, Mann!”; a cheeky, worldly minimal track filled with energy and plenty of drum rolls and “Jumpin n Pumpin”; a crazy, horn-fuelled number that doesn’t know when to quit.

Remixes of “Ja. Mann!” come courtesy of Mom & Dad with a totally club, stomper that’s all-to-relevant and Slap & Dash with a relentless, Hip Hop influenced dance track, filled with big synths and marching drums. Remixes of “Jumpin n Pumpin” see Dubbel Dutch take us to a dirty rave, flipping the tune over and over; Lewis CanCut get on a new age, hyped up Hip Hop/Dancehall/Baile Funk vibe, with 2 versions, slotting original vocals over the top from Dizzy Dee and Mars E Pan; WILDLIFE! who has given the track an almost Caribbean UK Funky vibe and Femme En Fourrure who have flipped the tune into a deep and dark minimal number to lose yourself to.

Man, soo excited that this has come out! It marks our first official release, and the beginning of an empire, haha. It’s already been getting a bunch of plays on radio in the US, here, UK etc., and played by the likes of Sinden, Diplo, Neoteric, Ajax and Act Yo Age to name but a few.
As you’ve probably heard, we’re giving away all our releases for FREE! You’ll be able to grab every release here, on the blog as they’re released. And there’s gonna be some shit-hot releases in the next few months. Our release schedule features original releases by some great internationals that we’re such big fans of; Edu K, Dubbel Dutch and Dirtybeats, then we’ll be pushing some locals that need to be heard like Lewis CanCut, Tranterco, Cumbia Cosmonauts, Paz and Slap & Dash (ft Spoek). Seriously the tunes and (massive) remixes are shaping up so well, i can’t wait until we release them all! Gonna be a busy 2010 @ Scatterblog… Anyway……

Mat Cant and Scattermish are two names that are not shy to air horns, basslines, hype drums and parties. With Hornbo they’ve managed to incorporate all that into a dancefloor anthem that gets rowdy with a series of horn stabs, frenetic drums, drops and breakdowns.

The remixes come from Sticky K, who has flipped the tune into a big-room storm for the dance floor, Yacht Club who have weirded it out and made it even more hype, The Hump Day Project who have sent the bassline rolling and the guns shooting giving it a tech feel and Paz who has turned it into a 150bpm ghetto house bonanza!
