With a few of us Ninjas residing in the great city of Denver, CO and its surrounding areas, we get pretty darn excited when a full blown music festival is brought to the Centennial State. So it’s pretty safe to say you can catch a handful of us at the South Park Music Festival during the July 4 weekend. Put on by Cannabis Network Radio, SPMF features an appropriate top-end of headliners including Slightly Stoopid, Paper Diamond, Steel Pulse, The Grouch & Eligh and more, while also pulling in a more than solid supporting cast from some of our TMN favorites including option4, Blackalicious, Vinnie Maniscalco and the bass leaning duo of Basscrooks. Needless to say, it just wouldn’t be a party without at least a few of our incredible readers in attendance as well, so we wanted to extend an opportunity to come groove with us in the Colorado sun by giving away a pair of free tickets. Enjoy your Fourth of July weekend with amazing live music, camping if you are so inclined, an absurd amount of activities when you need a break including frisbee golf and yoga and oh yeah… we hear you can partake in the combustion of marijuana plants in this state free of legal trouble.

Entering our contest is super simplified. Our only requirements are: You must “like” The Music Ninja, Basscrooks and South Park Music Festival on Facebook, enter your e-mail adress into the widget below and we’ll contact you via e-mail. Our contest runs all the way until June 24th, and there are a few rules, of course:
– You must be 18 or over to enter.
– You are responsible for transportation and lodging at the Festival (Camping is free including rental tents and gear if you don’t have your own, and there are many other great options as well including hotels)
– You must bring a valid form of ID to pick up your tickets at the Festival entrance.
– You must promise to have as much damn fun as possible on our behalf

Good luck, ninjas!

We wouldn’t be The Music Ninja without giving you some music either would we? Denver wub-slingers Basscrooks, who we’re thrilled to catch live again, just released their official remix of Mr. Collipark’s “No Discrimination” in anticipation of their South Park Music Festival set, and it’s a grimy, twerk inducing edit just in time for the weekend. Basscrooks are truly an exciting pair to take in during a live setting, and we think their polished brand of bass music will be without a doubt one of the highlights of South Park’s stacked lineup. Grab their rump clapping remix for free here and we’ll see you soon!

[Glorious] Netsky ft. Beth Ditto – Running Low ft

Posted by Clayton Warwick - June 12, 2014

Running Low Feat. Beth Ditto

To this very day, we simply cannot understand why drum and bass hasn’t made it’s way across the Atlantic. Paling in popularity to trap and dubstep, this long time dance genre has been around longer than some of the kids listening to it at festivals. While we can’t understand why more of us Yanks don’t take to it, we’ll keep pushing it until they do.

An easy bridge into the greatness that is drum and bass is none other than the legendary Netsky. This Antwerp-based DJ/Producer has been tossing up diamonds for quite some time now, even thrilling crowds at Coachella with a live instrumental interpretation of his classic tunes.

“Running Low” just dropped six days ago, and it’s already one of our favorites from this Belgium phenom. Featuring the booming soulful vocals from Beth Ditto, this tune has some solid Motown vibes intertwined with charging melodies, fast paced percussions and a electrifying bassline. It’s supercharged from head to toe, creating a drum and bass anthem that anyone can get behind.

This tune will be on Netsky’s upcoming album. Make sure to keep your eye open for it.

[Drum & Bass] Kove – Way We Are

Posted by TMN Staff - June 2, 2014

To be released on 22nd in the UK and the 24th June for the US, the incredibly versatile Kove delivers his next single via Chase & Status’ MTA Records. Another opportunity to display his effortless production style, ‘Way We Are’ is a sun-kissed slice of bassy House. Featuring the crystal clear vocals of Melissa Steel, the track has hints at old school rave tunes, with its use of piano chords and bouncing rhythm. Accompanying the original comes a Dub Mix, which gives the track’s Jungle-inspired elements another showcase, an Extended Mix and a spirited 174 Mix.

Having risen to attention via his mammoth dance floor tearing drum and bass, Kove stays true to his roots and also releases ‘Liberator’ on the flip. It’s a surging piece, with rapid and explosive drum patterns and a shimmering melody.

Flourishing in every style of production he attempts, Kove is most certainly an artist to keep an eye on. This pair of tracks are an essential additions to any summer playlist. Time to dance! Pre order here.

The McMash Clan – Birds Sing EP

Posted by TMN Staff - June 2, 2014

Dropping at the end of last month on Circus Records, The McMash Clan‘s ‘Birds Sing’ EP has garnered a wealth of praise across the bass scene. The 3-man production and DJ group are known for creating hugely versatile material and this collection of work is no exception. With a groove-filled, down tempo remix of their track ‘Jericho’ from Dodge & Fuski, other collaborations include the title track with band Late Day Breakers and orchestration and vocals of ‘Requiem’ arranged by Kate Mullins.

This EP quite simply takes you on a musical journey through the realms of bass – exploring Drum & Bass, down-tempo and Reggae-tinged Glitch Hop. Each track is effortlessly catchy and produced with inimitable style – a real essential addition to any collection and I look forward to hearing more from this trio.
