Initiation



As this is my first post on the blog I was thinking of letting all viewers know of my taste of music as well as telling you who the hell I am. My name is Morgan Gray and I am interested in electro/house and every so often if I hear a great dubstep track I'll give it a listen.

Below you will find a variety of electro that I am particularly attracted to. I am going to be posting on the blog somewhat regularly with increasing frequency as I gain more experience.

Hope you enjoy.







Sweese regards,
Kidso

New Writer Introduction!

Just to warn you all, there are no tracks in this post. It's just an informative message to let you all know that we have a new writer joining our team! I don't want to give much away, and I'll allow him to introduce himself later today with his first post coming up, but his name on NOTA will be Kidso.


Everybody get psyched for the debut post of electro aficionado and up and coming prodigy, KIDSO.


With love,

Church Of Noise


This post is long overdue.  It's in my opinion one of the most important posts on the blog.  What makes it so crucial? The focus is on the most influential and avant-garde production groups and producer currently making music.  I give you, The Bloody Beetroots.  For those who don't know, The Bloody Beetroots are made up of mainly Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, who is behind most production, and Tommy Tea who is  added help during live sets.  The two both wear black spider man masks at all times when performing, and have in my opinion (and what has come to be almost a common school of knowledge) have brought more to electro than any other group.  They hail from Italy, and SBCR has an extensive punk-hardcore background.  He started as a frontman to a self-named group (check out the Kinky Malinki post here), and all aspects of that fast paced, harsh, three chord rock are present in his electronic music.  SBCR is the godfather of electropunk.  He has almost perfected the use of the hoover synth sound and compressor effects ("warp" sound), which is being imitated countlessly now.  An image, an icon, an artist, Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo is an incredible producer and should be a household name if he isn't already. 

Just a forewarning, seeing as the Beetroots are easily one of my top three favorite production groups right now if not my favorite, these posts may seem to be reoccurring, as every new song released will be posted here.  

Here are some earsplitting tracks to add the Beetroots to your library.

Punk Influenced Tracks:
Hoover Synth Tracks:
Live Setlist Mix:
Ingenious Production Gold

P.S., There are some older Beetroots tracks that have been posted earlier on the blog, make sure to go back and check them out.

Mini Dual Spotlight: No Body! and Breakdown



Today's spotlight focuses on two of my favorite new producers.  Both are constantly releasing a ton of new remixes, as well as original mixes.  


Breakdown, made up by the David brothers (Matt and Josh), are from Los Angeles originally, and have both been DJing and Producing since they were early teens.  They're sound is a combination of Disco and hard house, which, although it sounds a bit like an oxymoron, is an incredible sound.  They combine the upbeat melodies of disco with the club banger bass of house.  Un. Real.

No Body! consists of two producers, Kevin Chapman and Ruben Smulovitz, both hailing from Los Angeles.  They are up and coming onto the electro scene, but creating huge hype for themselves with their constant stream of insane tracks.  Their sound can be best described as hard hitting house you can relax to.  Again, this sounds like a paradox, but trust me, it's perfect.  The duo run a music blog of their own, and make sure you check it out at www.dscotech.com.  All of their new tracks can be heard their first, as well as a ton of other music.  

HERE are all the tracks for both artists, make sure to check all of them out.
