Pericles – Ancient Desert [DROPS TONIGHT!]
Tic, tic, tick. The new Pericles album drops at midnight and I feel like we’ve been waiting for ages!
For centuries the soul of Pericles has been searching; selectively sourcing incarnate bodies that have served him in his quest for a unified consciousness. As the arms of time swing into alignment on the cosmic course of creation, Pericles has found a vehicle with which he can finally share the ancient knowledge he has amassed during his travels. Ancient Desert tells the tumultuous story of a universe, torn from the ether and tossed into existence. Having become an ever expanding system of sacred beings, desperately drifting through the sands of time; our universe has created for us a key to unlocking the treasures of tomorrow. The vibrations that Pericles has channeled here will serve to share with us the lessons, learned over millennia, in order that we may one day return to that beautiful unity from which we were born.
Since his inception into the consciousness of Pericles in 2007, South Carolina’s premier bass producer has released two full length albums along with quite a few mixes and compilations from labels including Abstract Logic Recordings, Waveform Modulations, Glitch.FM and Vermin Street. With his heart burning a space in his soul, Pericles represents the Wondrous Temple of Boom, and has played at South East burns such as Transformus and Alchemy. Artists that have shared the stage with this energetic creature include Shpongle, Ott, The New Deal, Nasty Nasty, Freddy Todd, Ana Sia, Alex B, Ben Samples, Pretty Lights, Eprom, Mochipet, Big Gigantic, Ooah, Quetzatl, Eliot Lipp, Signal Path, and Conspirator.
With remixes by Freddy Todd, Charlie P, and Brad Bitt, Ancient Desert will not go unnoticed. Check out this teaser tune, and pick up the whole album when it releases on BeatPort tomorrow!

Space Ghost – Bossy Edit
Space Ghost has come into my world and officially launched me into orbit with this his original take on Kelis’ 2006 hit, Bossy. Now…Kelis may have been aiming to create a sexually appealing atmosphere with her seductive lyrics and stimulating music video, but she still failed. She missed the sexy and went straight to slutty. Luckily for her, Space Ghost has cleaned up her mistakes from six years past and turned the song into what it SHOULD have sounded like all along. It’s airy, spacey, driven by the kick and snare, accented with sweet and soft chords, got a chopped and screwed vibe, and meant for the bedroom. Space Ghosts Bossy edit is downright sexy. Enjoy!
More Fire Crew – “Oi”
OI WHO’S THAT MORE FIRE CREW!? Takin’ it back to ’06 with this one. I heard this grime tune for the first time last week when DJ Preacha dropped it on Get Darker TV. I was surprised when I looked up the date and saw that it was nearly six years ago that the tune came out! Check out these guys, pretty cool tune with a bit of an old school vibe.
