Mandarinebeats Interview 001: Kromestar



Today i have a little exclusive for you, my readers. Here is a Kromestar interview specially for my blog. Here in interview, he tells us about his impression abou his album, the begging of his career and about some more interesting things. Welcome!

-First of all, how are you and what are you doing now?

Kromestar: "I'm cool! I'm here at F-One's studio smoking and drinking tea you know how we do."

-Can you tell me who is Kromestar? And what does it mean (Kromestar)?

Kromestar: "Kromestar is a Dubstep producer - half human, half machine. I thought this was a music interview not a job interview... lol..."

-How did you start to make your own music? When?

Kromestar: "I have got a mad passion for sound from a young age, then i got hold of fruity loops and it was a wrap. It started from there really. I started making music in 97 producing Hip-Hop."

-Was it successful start or something went wrong?

Kromestar: "It is kicked off in 2004 when i making grime for "Sweetbeetz" under my Ironsoul alias."

-Now you have a great experience in music production. Which works do you consider the best and which the worst?

Kromestar: "I would not say there is the worst. I try my best in everything i do, whether i make Dubstep, Grime or Hip-Hop."

-What can you say about your collaboration with F-One, Hatcha, Cessman, Cotti, Walsh and Virus Syndicate? Was it good experience for you?

Kromestar: "It was a good experience doing a track with Virus Syndicate, because i have never had vocals on my Dubstep tracks but they hurt up the dub. F-one is my family, i work with him every week. I also produced a compilation with Hatcha called "Brothers Grimm", that was an experience still... lol... Walsh's my dawg. That collaboration was live, that's it really!"

-With whom do you want to collaborate in the future?

Kromestar: "Dj Premier, Dr Dre and Pharrell Williams."

-Under what do you working now?

Kromestar: "I am working on a few experimental beats at the moment. Getting in my own zone."

-Have you got your own algorithm for making tracks? Or it differs from time to time? What stuff do you use?

Kromestar: "Yeah it starts different all the time. I just start with a sound that is new to my ears. I use Fruity Loops or Logic 8 Pro at F-ones studio."

-Do you want to try yourself in other styles of music, like Trance or Rock for example?

Kromestar: "I would like to make Trance or Rock. That is like a whole new level and frequencies."

-Your album, what do you feel about it?

Kromestar: "I think it was a good outcome. It had different moods on it."

-What did you feel while making it?

Kromestar: "To be honest, i write that album while i was going through mad domestics with people and family in my life."

-What were you inspirited by?

Kromestar: "My family."

-Have you got some funny stories about releasing or making your album?

Kromestar: "Not really, it was a serious time."

-Is it successful for you or you want something to change?

Kromestar: "Yeah, it was a successful project, i enjoyed making it."

-Do your parents like it?

Kromestar: "I do not live with my parents, but i gave my mum a copy still and she said it was nice... Something to drive to."

-What is your favorite track? (Not from your production)

Kromestar: ""Curzed - Dangerous" - that track does it in a dance. I also like "Breakman feat. Newham Generals - Just know that" - big tune!"

-What does your usual day like? What do you listen while chilling?

Kromestar: "Chilling at my house, burning the herb or going to check F-one in the studio and getting on the grind. When I'm chilling i listen to the Game, Mobb Deep, Raekwon, Gangstarr and N.E.R.D - their sick."

-What is your hobby?

Kromestar: "Smoking Chronic."

-And what do you think about music? Is it your hobby, work, or style of life? How has your attitude to music been changing through life?

Kromestar: "I make music for a living. It's what i do for work and a living. I have learnt to appreciate a lot of different genres and styles of music. For me it's about learning."

-Do you now something about Russia and Russian Dubstep movement?

Kromestar: "I have heard Russia is live, but i ain't touched there yet still."

-Do you want to visit Russia for a party or an excursion?

Kromestar: "I would like to visit Russia, whether i play or just visit. Seems like a cool place."

Roby Howler Beats



Представляю вашему вниманию молодого человека под псевдонимом Roby Howler, имя которого уже набирает силу за границей, так как в нашей многострадальной России к новым стилям музыки интерес приходит в самый последний момент.

Будучи еще в пеленочном возрасте, Roby Howler (Настоящее имя Вадим Роменский) стал увлекаться музыкой во всех ее проявлениях. Огромную роль в становлении его собственного музыкального стиля сыграл старший брат.

Главным хобби Вадима в возрасте 13 лет было то, что он слушал еженедельные аудиочарты от PeteTong(UK), GRAD(Rus), Kolya(Rus) и Den(Rus), которые записывал на аудиокассеты и в последствии бесконечно переслушивал.

С течением времени Roby Howler стал серьезно задумываться о написании собственной музыки. Впервые он попробовал сделать это в 15 лет, когда начал экспериментировать и изучать программу Fruity Loops. Но окончательно не определившись с концепцией будущих треков, его задумки так и не были воплощены в жизнь

В начале 2009 года, после знакомства с популярным онлайн радио Великобритании BBC Radio 1, резко меняется представления о музыке и о стилях в целом. Тяжелый Woble саунд, монотонный Tech House, африканские минималистические ритмы стали основной идеей и целью для дальнейшего творчества музыканта.

В середине 2009 года, летом, Roby Howler возобновляет попытки написания музыки. В это время он освоил множество программ, но окончательно его выбор пал на Ableton Live, который стал основной платформой для его будущего творчества. 

Начало осени 2009 года было ознаменовано завершением первых двух оригинальных треков: Basemant и Darling, которые прозвучали на RadioFrequency(UK) и был подписан контракт с Английским лейблом "Nu Style Records". Так же Вадим получил поддержку от: Wongo, Tom EQ, Kyle Watson, Jeff Doebleu. Параллельно музыкант получает заказ на изготовление ремикса на американского популярного рэп продюсера Alias от лэйбла "Crux Da House". К его Российским успехам можно отнести соглашение о совместной работе с StereoNoize ( г.Тюмень ) о создании креативного видео ряда с музыкой от Roby Howler. Движущей силой музыканта является массовая популяризация новых стилей музыки в России.

Roby Howler - September Mini Mix

Tracklist:

1. High Rankin – The tale of Clarence Baskerville
2. Rusko – Cockney Thug (Caspa Remix)
3. Snoop Dogg – Pump Pump (Aniki Bootleg)

Junglist Movenment Part 2


Takomo - Death in The Stratosphere

This ia an amizing dubstep track with jungle influence! All G:Mt fans will be enjoy it! Name of the track, in my opinion is not good, because for me feelings from track are like life in Stratosphere, but who knows, maybe this Finnish duo really were in stratosphere, and really died there in their dreams, and after this they produced such a beautiful track...!

"Death in The Stratosphere" или на русский - смерть в стратосфере. Это безумно глубокий трек. Для всех фанатов фильма "время по гринвичу", он придётся по вкусу, но лично я не согласен с названием трека, так как я вижу данную музыку отображением жизни в стратосфере, но никак не смертью. Но кто знает, может этот Финский дуэт действительно был в стратосфере, и действительно там погибал в своих великих путешествиях, и после этих приключений они и написали этот трек... Всё Может быть!

Mandarinebeats.com Exclusive 001: Mensah


Visit Bristol and mention the name Mensah, the chances are that someones going to know the man we’re talking about. Having become involved in the Bristol music scene at an early age, there’s no surprise that he epitomizes the great things associated with the city’s music – positive, progressive and different.

Growing up listening to his Mum’s dub and reggae collection, his first taste of UK underground music was when he started going to the under-18 nights called Jungle Book at the tender age of 11, he witnessed the late and great Steve ‘Hyper’ D MCing for Nicky Blackmarket but it was the garage scene that really kindled Mensah’s first love of electronic music when he heard stalwarts such as Wookie and the Heartless Crew's DJ Fonti at the age of 13.

DJing at various nights in Bristol, and getting tired of spinning other people’s tunes, the natural progression for Mensah was to start creating the music that he had such a passion for. Starting a production course at a local Music College, he was taught by none other than Danny Byrd and was classmates with other Bristol producers, Chasing Shadows, Gemmy, Forsaken and Superisk.

Subsequently he landing a job in a Bristol music specialist store and in time he was able to build a studio. Having the likes of Roni Size, Portishead and Massive Attack passing by the shop only fuelled the desire to up his game in the production suite. This all paid off when his collaboration with dnb producer, Mutt, featured on Mutt’s album ‘Treading Water’ IN 2008, followed up with Mensah’s first solo release, ‘Sahara / Not A Shy Gyal‘, on Lo Dubs in 2009.

With aspirations of never wanting to make the same tune twice or wanting to be typecast into one genre, Mensah looks set to push whatever sound he decides to take forward. Sometimes dubstep, sometimes purple, sometimes rave – the idea is to evolve his sound naturally. And with tunes forthcoming on reputable label, Hench, he is definitely a name to earmark to achieve big things in the future…

The Damn Bell Doors



The Damn Bell Doors - Молодой подающий надежды Fidget House проект из России, который уже ведёт переговоры с лэйблами на издание их треков, так же им требуется молодой человек или девушка, которые хорошо читают рэп да еще и на английском.

The Damn Bell Doors - youngfidget house project which is already talking with labels about releasing their tracks. Also they needed MC for their further projects, feel free to connect with them.

The Damn Bell Doors - Pitch the Bitch [mixed by GAMBEAT]

01. Dj Fixx - Shake It Naughty (Electric Soulside Remix)
02. Young Nutz Feat. MC Freeflow - Getting Hyped (Royal K Remix)
03. CLASSIXX, Villains - I'm On It feat. o8o (AC Slater Remix)
04. JC EDIT - Punks (Kraymer vs WonK remix)
05. Alice And The Serial Numbers - Zombie Barbie (Aniki's Dawn Of The Bass Remix)
06. Mar and Dany Lawer Summer Girll
07. Fake Blood - Mars (Jack Beats Remix)

20. Black Noise - Jackin My Fresh Feat. Lex One (Original Mix)

Микс от The Damn Bell Doors получился лёгким и не навясчивым, местами однообразным, но явно не надоедающим во время прослушивания, но вот на второй или третий раз думаю уже тяжеловато будет... В качестве бонуса даю вам их трек хоть и не в лучшем качестве (Всё из-за тех же переговоров с лэйблами), но показывающий их стиль работы, который на мой взгляд не так уж и плох.

Mix from The Damn Bell Doors is light and not boring, sometimes monotony, but really not tiresome at the time of listening. But at the second or third time of listening it can be boring... As a bonus i am giving you their track, not in best quality, but it is enough to check their not bad style =_).

Bonus:
-The Damn Bell Doors - Gay Marriage (128 kbps)

Congorock & Crookers - Sbombers  by  Congorock

Трек получился на редкость трещащще\писчащим с baltomore уклоном и такой кислой мелодией посередине. Юхху!!! Фотография совершенно подходит для этого трека! Кстати сделана она моим другом Piece of Coal.
