Soul to Soul “Back to Life” Remix (Michael Mcnabb Bootleg)

Here’s one that is just going to blow your mind, and possibly just slipped under your radar until now.  It’s maybe no secret that Michael Mcnabb has a strong upbringing on the roots of breakbeats, but this reinterpretation of a classic is just amazing to say the least.  It’s no wonder it was featured on the BBC Radio 1 “Kissy Sell Out” show.  Mcnabb even got a shout-out from his long-time source of inspiration and coveted master of breaks: DJ Icey, who took a moment to drop in a Soundcloud comment: “Nice One! Great Remix!”.  We definitely agree, Icey, this is a great remix indeed.  Though it’s not necessarily new, this is something that should find its way into your next DJ set if it hasn’t already.  Watch what it does to the crowd…you won’t believe it.  >> FREE DOWNLOAD (.mp3)

It’s been a hot minute since the last update, but the folks at Four4ths have been hard at work occupying the airwaves with several new weapons of dance floor destruction, with every style of DJ in mind.  Check out the recent release break down below, and remember you can find all of these tracks at any of your favorite online digital music retailers (Beatport, Juno, iTunes, etc):

Avlish - City of Echoes, DJ Kable, Michael Mcnabb, Remixes

The most recent of installments, are Michael Mcnabb and DJ Kable’s remixes of Avlish “City of Echoes” trance track.  Kable preserves Avlish’s original melodies and sticks within the original trance genre, but adds some tense building before finally dropping into signature driving electro bass lines and fills.  Michael Mcnabb turns 180º and pumps out a subby breakbeat remix that takes new direction in classic electro landscapes.  Check the writeup on NoisePORN for insight into the whole release, including the Original Mix and a dubstep cut from Loncka.

Track 1 “Back in the Klub!” is a collaboration from Bass Wrecka and DJ Kable which busts down the breakbeat gates and takes you through old vs. nu skool locked in a deadly battle for supremacy.  We hope you brought your breakin’ shoes, because a circle is about to expand on the dance floor.

Track 2 “High Volume” is a (caution: overused adjective ahead) massive breakbeat floor shaker.  The kicks go BOOM, and we mean serious sub-atomic bass here, folks.  This should definitely “be played at High Volume”.

Finally, Track 3 “Str8jacket” is a chirpy wobbly noise box featuring sections of triplet notes making for a bouncy electro-house thrill ride to close out the EP.

Taking the scenic route into the progressive house realm, Mcnabb shines again with an EP that shows his diversity and taste for the finer reaches of house music.  The title track “Reach” is an airy, space-driven tune that takes you a deep and contemplative journey.  While “Chasing Sunset” has a heavenly feel reminiscent of early Moby and hints of early Orbital with its far-reaching delay effects and side-chained pads.  When it’s all put together, you can almost hear the ocean and gently crashing waves.

Saw saw, and more saw! — Like we’re cutting down redwoods!  This electro-houser features nice chunky bass tones and big room-ready builds to build tension in a set.  Any DJ will recognize the importance and usefulness of a meaningful tool like this inserted at just the right time!

Michael Mcnabb takes what was once an epic trancer, throws it in a cage, and abuses the hell out of it…And well, you can only imagine what kind of monster appears once unleashed:  This electro-house transformation has an angry mind of its own…tribal house beats, deep subs, and high pitched saw waves wreckin’ shop!

Release Day! Michael Mcnabb “Dirty Nights” EP in Stores Now

Michael Mcnabb - Dirty Nights EPFour4ths veteran Michael Mcnabb opens the electronic music floodgates with a brilliant 5-song EP proving once again that he’s pulling from a bottomless bag of dance-able magic.

The aptly titled “Dirty Nights” EP begins with a dark and sinister track entitled “Ambiance”, which features a grimy distorted bass groove with side-chained pads that combined throw you right into the deep dark alleys of EDM that only the brave and faithful shall pass through.

Wasting no time, #2 is the title track “Dirty Nights”….foreboding builds and menacing bass will circuit-break the need for lights yet again, as Mcnabb takes you on a journey through the dark cooridors of the mind…close your eyes and let go on this one.  When you’re ready for the funky thirds-based distorted bass grooves rocking all over a straight-up kick/snare (can’t go wrong with that formula, right?), track #3 “Night Breed” is where less becomes SO much more.  Mcnabb truly understands the value of selecting sounds wisely and concentrating on the tracks overall groove.  With a pad interlude reminiscent of Moby’s “Go”, you can’t resist wanting to find a spot for this track in your set.

Mcnabb keeps  the pulse rapid with a solid electro-houser entitled “The Future”.  But yet, he can’t just stop there:  Track #5 “Three AM” is a HUGE progressive-infused electro-house masterpiece just itching for big room discovery.  It’s almost difficult to define it in one word other than “big”, because the mix on this one completely fills the room, proving Mcnabb’s well-versed ears are giving him a quality edge in spatial positioning of individual sounds in the overall mix.  But arguably ever more important than production skills, this is that track that the listener/dancer/partier gets completely immersed in, losing all sense of time.

Wait, there’s more?  Yes.  As if (5) solid tracks weren’t more than enough to satisfy your fresh tune fix on this EP, M-Toxin’s alpha dog Seth Vogt adds a huge breaks remix interpretation of the title track “Dirty Nights”.  Vogt once again demonstrates that he has roots firmly planted in the legendary Orlando electronic music scene, and specifically has an ear for many of the sounds and song structures pioneered there in the early 90s.  However, this interpretation sounds FAR from dated — We’ve grown to expect a fresh clean sound from Seth every time he works his magic, and he doesn’t disappoint.  The key in this remix is the storytelling aspect — A lot of EDM listeners want to be taken on a journey….and Seth expertly pilots this spacecraft into a wormhole born of the breakbeat heavens.  Translated: this should not be missing from your essential breaks collection.

DJ Kable - Dancefloor Disclosure EPReturning from his first remix appearance on the London UK label Bone Idle Records, DJ Kable follows up with a gritty triad of fresh all-original electro-house tracks to round out his first official release.  The title track, Dancefloor Disclosure, features a dirty funk-filled bass line with portamento swing and subtle vocoder-laden lines with a message that seems to speak to those that dance alone in a crowd full of people.  Organized Grind, as the name implies, builds a deck of vintage-sounding organ chords and then drops into a series of grimy bass cuts that is meant to send the shoes of many into a frenzy.  Finally, rounding out the EP with plenty of wobbly bits, a breakbeat interlude, and cinematic arpeggios, Chemistry Set takes you into the darker side of Kable’s cerebral meanderings.  Here’s what the people are saying:

“The whole EP is bangin.  DJ Kable knows how to make some quality electro house.” – Andru Pozzatron

“Good Electro House must be like this” – Lime The DJ

“DJ Kable is back on Bone Idle with his very own EP release.  Three awesome electro house tracks, each completely unique and dancefloor ready.” – Bone Idle Records

Release Day! DJ Kable and Michael Mcnabb Remixes in Stores Now

Bone Idle Records (London, UK) today released a track entitled “Black Mango” by Australian fidget-house artist Riggers.  The release comes with a total of (4) pumping remixes coming from different corners of the globe — France, Russia, and the United States.  Included, are mixes from Four 4ths’ very own Michael Mcnabb and DJ Kable:

“Riggers - Black MangoUS based DJ and producer Michael McNabb submitted a mind blowing electro mashup of Black Mango, a self admitted perfectionist, McNabb tweaked this mix to the max. Distorted, detuned sawtooth leads fly over the catchy vocal of ‘Are You Ready?’ and to top it off it crashes around a set of beats Phil Collins would be jealous of. Riggers went mental over this remix in the best possible way, enough to seal second place on the EP.”
– Bone Idle Records

“US based DJ Kable takes Black Mango on a tense hardcore night out. We liken this remix to how our shoes end up after a few hours in a club… clean at the start, filthy at the end. Taking just the vocals from the original this remix has given Black Mango a tight work over. With reverb, delay laden breaks and a build that drops into an electro fuzzed bassline, mean this one is not one to wear your best Adidas too!”
– Bone Idle Records
