The trail of mayhem continues as our sister label Buzzard Gulch releases the second compilation in its Blog series. The first compilation "It Came From The Blog" found destructive success on the Beatport Indie Dance chart this Spring, at one point holding 7 of the top 10 tracks and "Tight Jeans" was named one of the top 50 Anthems of Summer by the Beatport staff.

The follow up compilation, "Attack Of The Blog" is even more pounding and punishing than its predecessor. Low Life Inc. was brought in once again to compile the very best heavy electro, fidget, dubstep and beyond they could dig up.

Douster & Arcade get you wasted. Audiostalkers show you what sex is all about. Stereoheroes reveal the truth about Clark Kent. And Jayou rinses it out with his dubstep twists. Not to mention the pop-electro of Bo$$ In Drama, Spencer Product's NY hipster anthem or Sensual Harassment's robot musique.

"Attack Of The Blog" has burst through the atmosphere and is geared up for a full on assault on your senses. We are Buzzard Gulch. We don't come in peace! Available now at Beatport, Juno Download and iTunes

"Bring It On Now" is the new single from French electro/hip hop producer and graphic artist MtO. According to MtO, the trigger was pulled when he discovered the Wu Tang Clan on MTV at the age of 11 and decided he wanted to make music. Since then he has produced beats for underground French hip hop acts and produced his own fusion of abstract hip hop he calls "Chip Music". Paris' Remote are first up on remix duties with a heavy, dark, druggy mix made for the minimal guys to step it up a notch or the maximal gang to take it deeper. Remote also have a new album dropping on Ivan Smagghe & Chloe's label, Kill The DJ. The mix on the flip comes from Montreal's own Hatchmatik of the Peer Pressure Crew. Hatchmatik and Peer Pressure came to prominence putting on events that brought people together from all scenes to shake it to hip-hop, electro and Baltimore sounds. His unofficial remixes of MIA, Chromeo, Yo Majesty and Thunderheist have lit the world of the music blogs on fire with big support from Discobelle, Palms Out Sounds and more. Consider it brought!

Germany's own Zero Cash delivers the goods with his unique gangsta maximal sound. Big klanging drums, monster grooves and dodgy on the dancefloor fills and turns drive things all the way to the edge and over on "Push It". On the flip Mr. Cash takes you out to orbit with some serious space ship funk that would make even the most uptight Vulcans do a backflip and spin on their heads. Available as on digital at Beatport.

Coco Machete is back on the block with a new release from Dog Tags. "On Again" is an incredible edgy take on techno that sits as easily on the dancefloors of Detroit as it would in Paris or Berlin. The remix comes courtesy of Martin Eyerer who takes things in a more minimal direction whilst keeping the melodic themes in place. Big room, bass heavy business for the wee hours. Available now on Beatport and your local record shops very soon.

So we headed out to San Fran last weekend to catch up with the shark. He had two live gigs on Saturday that were centered around the new "Summer Music Conference" that somehow fell on the first weekend in fall, but who's counting.

The shows we're great, one in the daytime at a street festival and the other at the club 1015 on Saturday night. It's really good to see how this whole thing has come along from being a simple producer driven project to being a full band. The rest of the band is made up of Johnny on Drums and Tasho on Guitar. By Saturday morning the two of them had about three hours of sleep between them and Tasho looked like a grim version of Igor's little brother. They rocked it out all the same with the grimness only adding to the show. Lance nailed it, the bass was rumbling and the girls were screaming.

They did two more shows in SF this past week and were in Chicago last night. Let's hope they went swimingly.

Lance should be here in NYC this weekend to play at Love, too be seen though, he's still waiting on confirmation from the promoter on plane tix, way to go !!!

Released this week, the self titled, full length album from Land Shark a.k.a. Lance DeSardi on Coco Machete shakes up any preconceived notions held by fans of dance, rock, electro and alternative sounds. The Land Shark project is an edgy departure from Lance's previous projects as an underground house music mainstay. Still deeply rooted in dance rhythms, Land Shark takes derailing hard left turns into the sonic realms of industrial, punk and electro. The music itself, drenched in angular synths, gravelly basslines, hypnotic live and electronic drums, defies genrefication. Be on the lookout for the full length album on CD, Vinyl and Digital formats as well as a release of the first single "Shake Me". The single features remixes from Sweetlight who has previous releases on Trevor Jackson's Output Recordings, David Duriez's Freak N' Chic imprint and Mylo's Breastfed.

Third out the box will be a full 12" from The Dead Seal called "Stain Remover" to be released in the fall.

Spring has definately sprung in NYC and that means it's time for our summer releases. Following quick on the heels of our last release by Carlton Banks comes the single "That's A Good Look" by Scandal Inc. This one is a bit electro, a smidge of hard 80's funk and a spattering of hip hop stylings courtesy of freshness herself, Venus. Just after Scandal Inc. keep your eyes peeled for a new 12" from Barfly called "This Ain't The Place". Barfly is none other than Rong Music label owner & Triangle Orchestra conductor Ben Cook. This is a ruff cut disco beatdown not to miss. Last on the announcements is the launching of a new sublabel called Coma hitting stores this summer. Coma will be taking a darker, harder approach on the dancefloor for those late late hours of the night. The first single on Coma features two artists, Elmar Schubert who we found kicking beats around Barcelona on a recent excursion and Dead Seal, a new signing by the LandShark in his continuing quest for new talent. Can you keep up ? Just let go and feel the flow, see ya in the shadows.
