Release Of The Week (3/6/10): Crush Nasty EP (Royal One Records)
About and Why We Like The Release:
Royal One Records has been on a tear as of late. With a popular Curtis B Release earlier in February entitled “Play My Jam” (featuring Calvertron, and more), they follow up the strong release with another top notch production by Soul Puncherz. Soul Puncherz have also been on a tear with their own releases on Nuphonic Rhythm and various other labels and they come up strong on this release. The original is an Electro House storm of a track featuring nasty and grimey basslines that pulsate the low end of a big sound system. On the remix tip, Transitbot, Houserocka, and Filthy Rehab tune in to punch their way into a release that provides massive diversity and Electro House madness. Overall, a top release here to check out and a great follow up for a label that has tons more coming!

LIFEHACKER.COM: Five Best Music Streaming Services
The internet has revolutionized nearly every form of media, and music is no exception. This week we look at the five most popular music streaming services to see how people are getting their music fix. Earlier this week we asked you to share your favorite music streaming services, and now we’re back with the top five contenders. Read on to learn about the services and then cast your vote in our poll at the end.
GROOVESHARK
When you’re ready to listen to some tunes online, Grooveshark allows you to jump right in. Unlike many services that require a subscription to use, Grooveshark lets you search for music and build a playlist as soon as the site loads. If you want to save the playlist, however, and access other session enhancing features like flagging songs to enable the music suggestion service, you’ll need an account. Aside from manually building a playlist, you can also listen to Grooveshark Radio, their suggestion engine. One of Grooveshark’s most unique features is that if you can’t find a song or artist you love, you can upload the music from your own collection to build the Grooveshark database.
SPOTIFY
First the bad news about Spotify: as of this writing, 02/28/2010, Spotify isn’t available in the U.S. due to various legal issues and licensing requirements. The good news is that Spotify is an incredible music service, and we’re always hearing whispers that it’ll soon be available stateside. You can collaborate on and easily share playlists using the service—as easily as you share a link to a YouTube video for comparison’s sake. A premium account adds more features, like commercial-free listening or the ability to listen to your playlists on your mobile phone. Premium service also enables offline mode for local storage of music, higher quality streaming, and travel access—so should you visit a country like the U.S., where Spotify isn’t available yet, you can still enjoy it.
PANDORA
Pandora is the easy-to-use front end for the massive database of attributes generated by the Music Genome Project. The Music Genome Project analyzes songs with up to 400 different attributes so when you tell Pandora “Play me something like the song Punkrocker by The Teddy Bears featuring Iggy Pop” it doesn’t just return a song that people who liked “Punkrocker” also liked—it returns a song that is also “genetically” related to your suggestion. Pandora may not have the most bells and whistles of the music sharing services rounded up today, but the power of the Music Genome Project and ease with which you can create and rate personalized streaming radio stations has won Pandora many fans. Upgrading from free to premium service allows you to stream more than 40 hours a month, gives you access to a dedicated desktop client, and increases the quality of your audio stream.
LAST.FM
Last.fm is another service that not only streams music but generates suggestions for new music based on what you like. In addition to building playlists and enjoying tunes on the web, you can “scrobble” your own music collection to Last.fm—which basically means you let Last.fm track the songs you’re listening to and add them to your Last.fm profile, allowing you to both listen to them and use them to increase the scope of Last.fm’s suggestion engine for better personalized picks. In addition to listening to streaming radio and building personalized stations, Last.fm also allows direct music download—when authorized by the copyright holder—so you can expand your personal collection as you listen.
LALA
Lala’s claim to fame is the ease with which you can listen to both your own music over the web and purchase new music inexpensively. Lala has a database of 8 million songs that you can listen to once for free, purchase for online play for $0.10, or buy as a DRM-free MP3 for $0.79. If you have a song in your personal collection—on your computer at home—you can add it to the Lala database to allow unlimited play without paying a fee. Lala doesn’t sport a hefty music recommendation engine like some of the other contenders in the Hive Five—although we didn’t find the one they have lacking—but instead focuses more strongly on connections between people to drive music suggestion. As a result Lala supports easy rating and playlist sharing with friends to encourage organic music discovery.
URB.com: Gorillaz – Superfast Jellyfish (feat. Gruff Rhys & De La Soul)
Gorillaz’s third album Plastic Beach is almost here, and an audible treat has graced the world wide web. A fantastic track that features the talents of Super Furry Animals vocalist Gruff Rhys and hip-hop legends De La Soul, “Superfast Jellyfish” is a welcome reminder of why the animated band is good at keeping themselves stuck in your head for days, weeks, months…even years. Peep the track down below.

Dusted Breaks & Ape Music win @ Breakspoll!
The entire Symphonic Distribution family wants to say a special congratulations to two digitally distributed record labels of ours. Dusted Breaks Records and Ape Music label families for winning awards at Breakspoll last night (Commemorating Breaks Related Achievements in 2009)! The entire Dusted Breaks Records label won “Best New Label”. Owned and maintained by Lee Martin, upcoming releases will include releases with Elite Force, 10 Rapid, and MANY more! The catalogue also comprises of some of the BEST Breaks in the industry today and they have shown NO signs of slowing down! Dusted Breaks was born in Portsmouth in early 2002, when Lee & Mark Martin, John Lewis, Kevin Brown & Jason Mullineaux came up with a cunning plan to flood a predominantly hard dance city with a much needed injection of flavour, in the form of tough house music and breaks. Dusted Breaks started off in small clubs in and around Portsmouth very quickly upgraded their venue to the unique South Parade Pier. Whilst holding breaks parties in this unique venue in the sea, they brought such amazing guests along never before seen anywhere near Portsmouth, such Lee Coombs Records, Lot49 Top dog Meat Katie, and (then just ripe on the scene) DJ Hyper from Kilowatt Recordings for his Wired album tour. Having such major names down to party with us was always gonna blow some brains out, and nobody let us down. Early 2009 they made the transition from club night to record label, and Dusted Breaks Records was born. Having 11 releases under their belt by September they are getting major support across the international breaks scene, and have seen some impressive reviews in Mixmag, DJ and iDJ to name a few. Dusted Breaks have brought us some firing tracks from names like IITone, Ways & Means, BreakzHead, Mobius, Paul Lyman and seen remixes from the likes of Mr No Hands, Ben & Lex, Eshericks, Quadrat Beat, Cut La Roc, Andrea Lai, 10Rapid to name but a few and Elite Force saw it right to do his own re-edit of Break Through by Paul Lyman and took it on his Australian tour, and also commissioned this work for a forthcoming release on Dusted Breaks. Their artist roster sees names from all over the globe - Russia, Italy, Latvia ,UK, US and many more. Recently they have been booked for a residency on the mighty iBreaks Radio where they host a twice monthly Saturday session showcasing new stuff. The Dusted Breaks style has no bounds, and the vetting process for tunes is of a very high standard indeed. 2009 was an amazing debut year for Dusted Breaks and lets hope that this year gets even better for the DB
In addition to Dusted Breaks, Ape Music label heads Ben & Lex are winners for their unique and always powerful podcast! The Beats & Bobz show is just that! Beats & Bobz with the two top notch Breaks producers. From opening the main stage at the Glade festival, winning the ‘Best Breaks Dj’ award at this years South West Drum & Bass / Breaks Awards to their fortnightly Breakspoll nominated Nuskool Breaks radio show and running their own record label, Ben & Lex could be the busiest boys in breaks. Their latest project is their own label, Ape Music, with forthcoming releases and remixes from Benjamin Vial, Afghan Headspin, 2 Bit Thugs and of course Ben and Lex themselves. With a whole host of festival appearence and releases on the cards for this year these two Westcountry Warriors look like they will be impossible to escape, so go see them and treat yourself to a damn good party!
