Ambassador Beats

One of OWSLA’s newest talents just dropped their 4th EP Jaded Future and it is mental!

Birdy Nam Nam is still a new name to us but the DJ crew consisting of Crazy-B, DJ Pone, DJ Need and Little Mike are doing a good job of making themselves known in the EDM world.

Their new album is filled with remixes from the likes of Foreign Beggars, French Fries, Culprate and Skrillex himself- and it clearly takes on many innovative sub-genres of electronic music including glitch hop, dubstep, DnB and Trap.

Start your listening experience off by cranking both of Skrillex’s cuts of ‘Goin’ In’ and move on from there.

Two weeks of vacay has passed and here I am, writing a post to make everything alright again.

Consider this one an apology letter filled with driving basslines, proggy buildups, luscious vocals and the most pleasing ear milk to grace the airwaves since mid April.

Every week the Ambassador Beats inbox gets filled up with music submissions and every week there seems to be proportionately more mashups than any other genre.

The appeal has been on a steady incline since pioneers like Girl Talk and The Hood Internet kick started one of electronic music’s greatest sub-genres. Call it art, piracy or a guilty pleasure- either way it’s in our face and i’m not arguing.

Got something new for you today as Psymbionic has thrown a new twist on a classic Red Hot Chili Peppers tune.

This track comes off Psymbionics new Illusions EP which is supposed to be released on December 13th by Made In Glitch.

Psymbionic throws a drumstep beat and some glitches to mix this track up. I really like what he has done here and can’t wait to see what else is on the EP. You can stream the track below and download the song as well as the instrumental of the track on Psymbionic’s Bandcamp page.

Give It Away – Red Hot Chili Peppers (Psymbionic Remix)

This is not new or even the full version but rather a high quality cut of the previously titled ‘Nothing Yet’. Skrilly is wreaking havoc across North America right now with his mothership tour fully loaded with a strong supporting cast (Steve Duda, Dillon Francis, 12th Planet etc.) and an unreal stage setup.

And on the side he has found time to join forces with Pretty Lights, Mark Ronson, Dj Premiere, Nas and The Doors for a genre blending collaboration called Re:Generation. Watch the trailer HERE and download San Diego VIP below.

Remix competitions are a beautiful thing. An open venue for aspiring producers to showcase their talents to popular artists and in this case, arguably two of EDM’s best producers.

Kaskade & Adam K have announced PIXL as the winner of the competition and his remix will be released on Ultra Records in the near future. Narrowing it down to the finalist would have been a major task with all the amazing submissions. Hit the jump to hear my favourites for runner up and download them all FOR FREE!

ConRank is back with a brand new forthcoming EP on Simma Records and he has just released two song snippets.

We get roughly 1 minute previews of the title track, You Heard of Us and Verbaliser ft. Mc Zulu. Both are outstanding drumstep tracks that have got me super psyched for this EP.

Check out You Heard of Us and Verbaliser below and check back for the EP release in the next few weeks. Enjoy.

It feels like only yesterday that I was telling you how excited I was about ConRank’s Charlie Messed Up remix… Well today is a new day, and a new reason to be excited.

Last night ConRank uploaded his new Drumstep Remix of the Double Tiger track by Soul Fire. This song is set to be released by Hydra Records in the near future.

I am really starting to get into dubstep and drum step music. It seems like every song I hear I like a little more than the last. I am excited to see what else comes as the genres increase. Stream the new song below.

Double Tiger – Soul Fire (ConRank Drumstep Remix)

I brought you ConRank’s free Next Step EP last month and today he just released a snippet of a remix he did for a Jordan & Santero track. ConRank throws some filthy effects on Charlie Messed Up and has me desperately wanting to hear the rest of the track. It is set to be released on October 14th via Top Billin Records. Until then you can listen to the snippet below.

I think it is apparent that The Conductor is the major contributor of electronic music for Ambassador Beats, but every once in a while I’ll find something that I really like and want to share, even if I know little to nothing about it.

This was the case with the Dada Life post and now once again with this ConRank post. I remember The Conductor playing a ConRank song on The Rinse once and when I saw this new Next Step EP I thought I’d give it a chance.

Well the 4 track Next Step EP blew me away. With drumstep making waves, I think this EP is the perfect introduction to the genre for those who have not been exposed to it.

It has the very distinct drumstep rhythmic lines, but isn’t too hard or overbearing that would scare the occasional listener away. Check out the EP below and download it free.

The Ambassador Beats supporting cast continues to grow as we add Hirshee to the list of guests on CJAM 99.1 FM’s ‘The Rinse’. We unofficially made March the month of Electro/House and we have been lucky enough to have interviews and mini mixes from the likes of Lazy Rich & Porter Robinson over the past 2 weeks. Tune in tonight from 10:30-Midnight for an in depth look into Hirshee’s past, present and bright future as a dj, producer and co-founder of Big Fish Recordings. Also, we will be hearing from Windsor’s own- DJ Josh Karmin for an inside scoop on the Winter Music Conference that took place down in Miami. If you live in Windsor/Detroit then make sure to crank the dial to 99.1 FM or stream us online!

Check out these three big tunes and head over to Beatport to grab yourself a copy. Today only all proceeds on Beatport will go towards a relief fund for Japan. Support Japan and support good music!

Hirshee ft. Tonye Aganaba- So Good

Hirshee ft. Sue Cho- Always Tomorrow

Hirshee & Messinian- Burn It Up (Hirshee’s Bass Mix)

If you haven’t noticed we are really diving into this Hip Hop/Dubstep combination here at Ambassador Beats. I really feel that both genres compliment each other and the heavy bass is a perfect addition to any rap song. I put together a mix of my favourite dubstep/hip hop tracks of the past year and was going to drop this around New Years but somehow forgot about it in the midst of getting our upcoming mixtape off the ground. Here it is, 11 songs in 21 minutes and is a direct continuation of Hip Hop Heavies Vol.1

Stay tuned for news about our mixtape and CD Release party. If you live in the Windsor/Detroit area you are going to want to be there because we will be rounding up some of the hottest acts in the area. Big things to come in 2011!!

Hip Hop Heavies Vol. 2

There is some serious heat rising up from Brazil and it comes in the form of Electro House. There is a distinctive sound that is becoming very popular in the electronic music industry and the only way I can describe it is like this… melodic but glitchy, euphoric but at the same time distorted, soothing vocals accompanied by pulsing synths and random sounds and noises tossed in for good measure. All in all it satisfies a lot of different tastes and always leaves the crowd begging for more.

There is a purpose for this rant and that is to segway into introducing you to the newest ‘big thing’ to come out of Brazil and to be released on Vancouver’s Big Fish Recordings. Ftampa just dropped his Who I Am EP and every single track is outstanding. Also, with releases already from Lazy Rich, Chrizz Luvly, Cool Project and Porter Robinson, Big Fish Recordings is shaping up to be the label to look out for in 2011. Preview all these tunes and grab the FREE Ftampa remix of Three Six Mafia- ‘Feel It’ below.
