Breakage & Burial – Vial

Breakage releases his second album ‘Foundation’ next week, and we will be showcasing two tracks of the album on Worlds Below. First one is the long awaited cooporation between Burial and Breakage. ‘Vial’ is cold, minimalistic and a perfect combination of Burial’s soundscaping talent and Breakage excellent production skills.

Distance – Fallen (Vex’d remix)

Distance’s classic track ‘Fallen’ (listen here) got the remix from Vex’d on Planet Mu. Those triggered vocals and the reverb on the snare give the track a haunting atmosphere, but near the end fresh pads announce a moodchange. Before the moodchange comes into full effect the track finishes. Twisted and brilliant stuff. Released last month, available [...]

Massive Attack – Paradise Circus (Breakage’s Tight Rope Remix)

Breakage remixes ‘Paradise Circus’, the first single of Massive Attack’s new album ‘Heligoland’. What already was a beautiful song, has been edited by the bass-meister.

DJ Krush – Only The Strong Survive

Krush and CL Smooth in probably the most known Krush track around. It’s one of the darkest hip-hop track I know of, because the lyrics, CL’s voice and the music oozes a strange combination of intimacy and nightly street life. Spine chilling and all time classic!

Emika – Drop The Other (Scuba’s Vulpine Remix)

This new release drops on Ninja Tune, and how!! “Drop The Other” gets the Scuba refix and oozes a gloomy street atmosphere, where streetlights flickers while the rain pours night after night. Essential stuff. (Pssst: download the 320 release for free at XLR8R!!)
