The Ethnic Race has begun......

The race of ethnic beat has begun.....
Recently, i manage to grab hold tonnes of the new sort of tracks based on such a sound!

It was kinda fun at the early stages as it differs from my personal flavour.

You should know what will happen when you ponder too long in the same scene & same sort of genre..... BORING....!!!!!!

You may know what will occurs if too many acts try to articulate their creativity in some sort of simiiar manner during a periodical hype....BORING!!!!!

I'm a really meticulous human with a sensitive ears & taste towards certain sound...
I only choose the BEST!

Besides Afrojack, Edu K, & Renaissance Man, i wanna recommend you guys out there to the original SOUNDS of Brazil....[ provided you from the tech sound background ]

Note: listen with an open mind set, then you will enjoy it....

Here's the mixtape by Killer On The Dancefloor of Brazil.

KOTD - July Mix

Notice: Guns N Bombs Gone?

I got some rumours that GnB is disbanding!!!!!

Hope not.
If shit comes true, i we are surely gonna miss all the noisy copters sound.

Dunno when we are gonna some real killaz like GnB - Nothing is Getting us Anywhere.

I can tell you, Nothing can beat this shit!

Riddle of Steel was just a moderate track, but still.....it rocks the floor.

Comrade start digging all the cool stuff by Guns N Bombs.

Turbotito - the half of the moniker of GnB created this down tempo cheesy mix.

Foulworks 4th Mix

The Bangers are back with their 4th mixtape.
I cant figure out why they named it as Foulworks " Summer Mix ".

I would be glad if they put it another way round....

Ermmmmm......... Foulworks " Monsoon Mix " [ to clear your doubts, they are from Malaysia - A TROPICAL COUNTRY with rain all year round ]

I assume that you dunno who the heck Foulworks is!

To cut short my explanation ,

Pay a visit to the duo myspace - Foulworks

However before you guys do so, please find yourself a cozy couch with a fairly good sound system to enjoy their mixtape.

I have nothing to say but their style & sounds is always wicked with the undisputed wizardry skill!

" BANG TILL THE END !!! "

*** quoted from their motto ***

**** additional Fact: they scored a pot of gold in their 1st attempt in remixing - their remix for DRLKT Freddie will be released in DANR on the 4th of August 2009 *****


Here's the long awaited mixtape [ for their fellow comrade in South East Asia ]

Foulworks - Summer Mix 2009

awwwwwwwwww I hate the word Summer Mix!!!

From Cybertron with Love.

THIS is a belated June mixtape by Calvertron,[ i did notice that is July already ].

Indeed a cybertronian style of all out offensive mix.
No holding back mentality unlike certain acts who are too careful with their selections of tracks.

I hate those.

WARNING: A mixtape represents an Act or a Dj personality!

" Prove us - MQLA wrong. "

We will discuss more on Calvertron in MQLA upcoming post.

Calvertron : June 2009 Mix

The Flashmen. ????

Oh Crap!!!!

Last nite i bumped into this old skool fellaZ who called themselves the Flashmen.
I was kinda infatuated on obsolete synthesizer's tunes.
Diggin is the my personal effort to uncover gems, but i never have the intention to penned down paragraph on mellow retro stuff until i met Valerie.

[ Jeeeez...it's not a romantic moment thou! ]

It's by faith i downloaded their mixtape & allocated some of my sleeping hours to give it a shot.

Zaaaapppppppp!!!!!!

The Flashmen zapped me this time.

Love all the old skool vibes.
A Blast from the Past.
Kinda bored of the Present! [ need some time off from the banging agenda of the Blog ]

Wish that those fellaz will zap me again with some of their production for me to experience & to share with the people of Asia.

Till then,

MQLA draws the 1st " BLOOD " of DANR

Hello July 2009.

This is MQLA first posting for July 2009.
We have some cool stuff to share with the People of Asia.

I ran through this track over & over again.

" Speed up.....slow down....speed up...slow down... "

It's vocal kept on whispering at the side of my ears.
It's getting into my vains THE MORE I LISTEN TO IT.
The arpeggiated bassline is catchy ENOUGH till my babe & friends started hymning it after i my dj mate broadcast it aloud in our boozing sessions.

Note: Do pay attention on the lyrics. That's what matters.
Unless you are deaf or don't have a taste in music.

As if it's not enough for us, the track comes in few variation [ i mean remixes ].

Oh God, i was kinda drifted away.
The track i'm introducing here is by the duo of DANR - DRLKT Freddie.
Recently they just release the track Airtight & did few remixes for
Dirty Disco Youth & Alexander Technique.

A must check out track directly from NYC.

DRLKT Freddie - Blood

in order to satisfy you the curious cats, MQLA gave me the green light to offer more.
So generous of my crew.

DRLKT Freddie - Blood [ Chewy Chocolate Remix ]

Their trademark of Chewy Chocolate Cookies is ever existing in all their remixes [ this is what i call it consistency ].
Heavy Rave rift.
The only missing element is the vocal.[just a tiny slot in it ].

DRLKT Freddie - Blood [Foulworks Remix ] (removed upon request / Sample will be provided soon)

Foulworks???
You may not know them. Hostile duo from Asia.
Few bootlegs & one remix in hand.
Do pay them a visit at the Foulworks myspace.
Unlike CCC, they maintain the vocal with an additional insertion of big room vibes.

Last but not least, TOO BAD, i cant manage put my hand on the remix by Alexander Technique.

Just be contented for the moment.
Insider news: Wait for the official release on 4th August 2009

Goodbye Michael.....

MQLA would like to express our deepest sympathy on the passing of the man who changed the course of music.

The wall of racism in the entertainment industry was pull down by the King.
If not for him, black music won't be here for all of us to listen &to appreciate.

Hail the KING!!!

He made the music scene a better place for you, & me , & the entire human race.

Not the industry thou.
The leeches & vampires had been stalking & sucking his blood till the day Ended.

I quoted his lyrics with all RESPECT!

Hail The KING AGAIN!!!

BELOW is the song which drag me into the realm of POP.

Sparkle Motion...Vol.2

Can you guys remember the previous article on the mixtape contaminated with the old 80's hey day samples?

***IF YOU don't, browse back to last 2 month *******

I was praying hard for the next Vol.2.
MQLA wish was granted this time around. Here it came the heavenly artifact of from the 20 years ago.
Long forgotten the old synthesizers samples.

Here i upload the mixtape for you guys to listen & feel the vibes of the 80's.
Don't thank me for this.
Dj Yoda & Co are the culprit for digging the past back to the present.

One thing i'm totally dubious on is, " Ermmmm the first Sparkle Motion was named ' Flight School Vol.1'...now they called it Sparkle Motion- ' New Jack City Vol.1 '....why it isn't titled Vol.2 instead ? "

Sounds fishy, may lead to something shocking later on!!!!

Put that aside.

I wanna underline the difference here.
Flight School was a sample orientated mix, nothing but cool synth which churned in my mind everytime i sleep.
New Jack City , however is more vocalic from start till the end.
80's hip hop, soulful vocal, & trippy beats.

Remember Mantronix...Remeber The Prince... Remember The King of Pop - Michael Jackson, Remember the 80's!

Evolution starts there.

Never forget to download this:

Sparkle Motion - New Jack City Vol.1

A Proper Villains

Comrades....

MQLA is a professed that we will support The Nightshifters till the END.
I had covered an article on Dj Donna Summer [ the man behind the label ] previously.
MQLA will intro all the players in the label, one at a time.
Now it's the turn of Proper Villains.

A guy rated as a multi talented producer cum dj, whose production skill range from all sort of genres ,erm from what he tells us, hip hop, Baltimore,DnB, to Electro.etc,etc,etc.

The best description on our claims is best proven in some of his tracks.
Our favorite is his remix for Dilinja - Twist'em out.
*** Search & download yourself ****

Is being a villain with a proper attitude elevate you to a higher state?
I personally agree on this factor.
Look at Magneto, look at Don Vito Corleone!!!
Villain with a proper & progressive attitude brings you somewhere indeed!!!

Hahahahahahah

Proper Villains is here to stay!
[ a personal question, Why the word Villain is in plural form? Should i consider him as an individual or a collective? Mystery ? ]
