On Tuesday, Free Crush will drop their first album “Rollin’ Deep” exclusively on Beatport. To celebrate the upcoming release, Konekta gave us 26 remixes and originals to give away to our readers!!

Knowa Knowone has been releasing music on Muti and his label Street Ritual for several years. Knowa is a pioneer in the west coast bass and glitch music community. His early release with Sleepyhead as Knowsleep was released in 2008 when there were few musicians making glitch music and “dubstep” was just starting to catch on in the states. Along with artists such as Heyoka, Mimosa, The Glitch Mob, Vibesquad, and Eprom, Knowa Knowone was creating music that defined and created the glitch-hop genre.

As any genre grows the music lover has to sift through more and more mediocre music to get to the tunes that really stand out and give you that rush of experiencing something that is unlike any other music you have heard before. It is up to the artist to consistently push their boundaries by not relying on formulas that have worked in the past. Once they push past that familiar territory and enter into the unknown, that is where the magic happens- all things are possible and amazing music is made from the willingness to experiment.The Canadian duo known as Knight Riderz have a new album out on Muti called 12th Dimension. It only takes one listen before it is obvious that these guys are familiar with this creative magic.

MartyParty is a a DJ/producer from South Africa who has been in the music business for quite awhile. PANTyRAiD, his latest project with Ooah of The Glitch Mob, has been keeping him jetsetting around the world but we can finally expect a debut LP from him on May 31. Purple showcases some of the sexy bass sounds we have been hearing coming out of the heart of the West Coast bass music scene.

Konekta’s hyphy glitched up lazer laden remixes always make the dancefloor bounce and his original tunes are mastered perfectly- every element shines through at the right time. Konekta tunes never fail to get 5 stars in my library. With several new originals and remixes coming out on some of todays hottest labels including Daly City Records, MalLabel Music, Street Ritual and Gruntworthy, Konekta is definitely one to keep your eye on in 2011!
