Milkman brings it fresh! Be sure to get your Milkmoney!





Milkmoney Music, An up and coming force in the Dubstep and Bass Music realm of things, has just TODAY released a Free EP entitled Hallucination. Now you might think, "Hey, that sounds familiar". Well you are probably very familiar with Beat Chemist and curator of Illbient Music DJ Spooky, who has long been a force to be reckoned with in the underground. Hallucinate is a track by DJ Spooky which The Milkman felt so inspired by one night that he decided to release a remix EP and give it away for free on the internet. Probably to avoid all those pesky legal copyright issues. I am all for it. Fuck You RIAA! Either way, I'm sure DJ Spooky will think most of these remixes are sick. Which they are. In fact they are all stompers. Depending upon what you are in the mood for.

Now about the remixes themselves.

DJ Harp Remix

DJ Harp has a more minimal take on the DJ Spooky concoction. This one definitely has that DJ Harp/Specops feel to it. A broken minimal techno dub beat adding tension into the air.

The Milkman Remix


Milkman remix sounds just like you'd expect it to. Typical Milkman fashion. Heavy Kicks and Bass, Minimal Hi-Hats, and a stuttered ambience that leaves you with the image of a bad acid trip. Sick stuff as always from Milkman

Zillion Remix


I have always liked Zillion and this particular Zillion remix is pretty spot on with the rest. Bass Heavy (Like every tune on the EP!) and Groovy with a steppy drum rhythm. That is much like 2-Step or Garage, but the melodics are way more tech rather than funky.

Crosus remix


Crosus delivers a dark, deep, bass heavy take on the DJ Spooky recreation. Dark and Disturbing like walking through the shadows of nightmares awaiting an ambush of wild wolves or an army of marauders coming to slit your throat and take you for all you have.

303 Sumatra Remix


I guess every "Dubstep" remix EP should include a dance floor wobbler and the 303 Sumatra remix is that. Personally this my least favorite remix of the bunch, not really enjoying the bass wobblers as much. I have enjoyed 303's other work, particularly The No Disco EP. It's not a bad tune and is quite dubby and I'm sure that it would make a moving dance floor lose it's head.

Cursed Chimera Remix

Cursed Chimera doesn't really make Dubstep. I don't know what to call it. Techno. IDM. Something new and different that's for sure. I have heard other releases by this man and they are great. This remix is no different. Some of the unmelodies in this tune reach a certain frequency that is almost abrasive, but not quite enough to make you cringe. Switches between a half beat to a floor on the floor. Excellent break tune for you IDM or Experimental Electronic people.

Abrasion Equation Remix

I am not sure how is missed this tune completely. I am glad that a reader (Thanks Jared) pointed it out. I am glad he did. This a smooth remix of Hallucinate. It has a psy-ambience vibe to it and takes you on a aural journey through various tones and layers. This sounds like something I would hear on the dancef loor during a Bassnectar set. Beautiful tones, heavy Bass!

Erin Jale Remix

Who is Erin Jale?! This person has utterly decimated this EP. Holy Shit what a sick remix! I almost missed it entirely due to a spelling error. I'm glad I didn't. My favorite on the EP for sure. Dark, deep, rolling bass lines, technical drum precision with a tense high frequency melody that brings visions of a haunted house of horrors where they are murdering children who come to walk through the haunted house on Halloween. This tune is grimy! I dig it. Give me more Erin Jale!

Any of these remixes would fit into a variety of places on the dance floor, or they are great for listening to at home. They are each quite unique to themselves and all quite bass heavy. Some more forward moving bass music brought to us by Milkmoney Music. AND IT"S FREE GO DOWNLOAD IT NOW.
