Wednesdays are always interesting here at MTH HQ.  Plenty of work to be done, plenty of new music to be heard, plenty of new comics to read!  That's why since February we've been trying our hardest to bring you new music to carry you through to the end of the work week in this thing we call the Midweek Pull.  This week Marvel premiers a pretty absurd crossover called A-Babies vs X-Babies that we're dying to get our grubby little paws on, might I suggest a trip down to your local comic vendor to do the same?  Also, there's some new tracks from the likes of Klever, Neki Stranac, and more dropping on soundcloud that we'd like to share with ya!

Let's start it off with a little moombah flavor from our favorite Serb: Neki Stranac.  The maestro serves up a hyped out flip of Stuka's "Stripper".  FREE DOWNLOAD!

And yeah, we're one week from Halloween so it's about time we infused a little spookiness into our selections.  This one has been "certified jackin" by the powers at be...it's the Mad Villains channeling the Maitland's and it's a FREE DOWNLOAD!

Ryan Marks dropped his Fiji EP on Party Like Us yesterday and it's a foot stomper to be sure.  My favorite remix comes from D!rty Aud!o and is a nice little moombah jaunt.  The ETC!ETC! remix is available for FREE DOWNLOAD...grab the full EP RIGHT HERE.

Our friend in bass: Inflect, recently packed up his stuff and moved from Nebraska to Los Angeles (tough decision I'm sure) and apparently he's enjoying himself because his latest is an ode to his new home.  I can personally attest to the griminess of downtown LA so I think this gritty track is an accurate reflection of that....FREE DOWNLOAD!

How about a moombahton team up of most epic proportions??  DJ Melo edited Sabo and Paul Devro's recently released dub of this Smalltown DJs track and decided to share it with the masses after it's success at the most recent Moombahton Massive in DC.  If you're down with the crew then buy the Sol Selectas release RIGHT HERE.

Err'body knows ATL kingpin Klever can destroy a dancefloor via a set of turntables but my man has been pumping out some killer tuneage of late as well.  Here's a freebie from the folks at Top Billin in support of his latest EP..."Higher" is available as a FREE DOWNLOAD, meanwhile Money Stacks is out now and you can buy it RIGHT HERE.

Sometimes we're all suckers for a little techno am I right??  Especially when it comes from France and ESPECIALLY when it comes from Bambounou.  My main man's remix of Fortune by Darling Farah is a late night escapade not to be missed.  Grab Body from Civil Music RIGHT HERE and grab the remix EP RIGHT HERE.

Speaking of FR, Killtronik recently had a remix contest for their track "Paris La Nuit" and this moombah-flip from The Kid Vicious DIDN'T WIN!!  What a shame...oh well, now it's up for FREE DOWNLOAD so grab it and play the hell outta it.  Super fresh, super light, super airy, super super.

That's all for now folks...we'll be back next Wednesday (HALLOWEEN) for more tracks to keep you company.  In the meantime, get back to work!!!

Who Is INFLECT?

As you may or may not remember, last week we previewed the new EP from Think2wice records--Wait A Minute by this dude Inflect.  Well the EP dropped today, you can grab it RIGHT HERE, and we sat down with dude to get a little more personal information for you guys; what transpired may change your life...or may not I guess but hey there's a free remix at the bottom so read all the way through!!

MTH - Who are you dude?  Name, Aliases, Location
I - Dude, who are you!? Haha! My name is Brett and I make all sorts of bass music under the name "inflect", currently living in Lincoln, NE...soon to be living in LA.

MTH - What's up with your live electronica band Somasphere?  How'd you guys link up, what's going on with the band now?
I - About 5 years ago, we meet through mutual friends and shared musical interest. Since then, we've played hundreds of shows from Denver to Chicago and everywhere in between. The band is a hybrid of traditional instruments (guitar, bass, drums) and electronic instruments (drum machine, synth, computer).  We are currently playing our final shows for now, as I am moving to LA in a few months. It's been the greatest 5 years of my life to play music with these guys. We are taking a hiatus while i'm out in LA but we will play again! Count on it :-)

MTH - Your latest release, Wait A Minute, drops today on Think2wice...what's the inspiration behind this single?
I - Most my inspiration for this release came from footwork and trap music. I wanted to experiment with those tempos and put my own twist on it. You'll hear a lot of classic 808 drums, retro style synths and plenty of chopped vocals.

MTH - What's your favorite type of food??  Any specific dish?
I - Love Thai and BBQ but all time favorite has to go to...sushi.

MTH - Nebraska...not exactly known as a hub for electronica...what's it like giging around and trying to carve out some space in your town?
I - The scene in Lincoln/Omaha is growing exponentially. We have great venues and promoters that book quality national acts and amazing local talent. It's a bit harder for someone like me, who's not doing mainstream/popular edm styles. But, I love being a catalyst for change and diversity in the scene and I have an awesome crew who fully supports it.

MTH - You've opened for some known artists (Bassnectar, Dubbel Dutch, etc), can you pinpoint a favorite performance/act you've shared a stage with?
I - It's crazy to play in front of big crowds with acts like Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Glitch Mob, etc. But some of my favorite shows have been in more intimate venues with people like Salva and Machinedrum.

MTH - When people see Inflect on a bill, what can they expect??  Is there a specific sound/feeling you want to exude onto people?
I - Expect original music and tasteful selections that cover a broad spectrum of styles. I try and react in the moment and keep it fresh, not only for the crowd but for myself. I'm all over the place in my sets but I think that's how it should be.

MTH - What is the strangest thing that has ever happened to you at a gig?
I - Let me tell you...i've seen some weird shit. I don't even think I can say the weirdest shit i've seen...you wouldn't believe me.

MTH - Besides the Wait A Minute single, do you have anything else in the pipe that you want to let folks know about?
I - Got a couple remixes i'm working on at the moment...one for Rot10 Musik that should be out late this summer and another for #FEELINGS. Just released a Kastle remix on Seclusiasis and a free EP. Other than that, i'm constantly making new music...check soundcloud for new beats and such.

MTH - Do you wanna say what's up to anyone??
I - Shouts to Think 2wice, Brent Tactic, Danny Corn, $pencelove, BASSthoven, Cake Eater, Lincoln and mac n' cheese
Grab the Nadus Remix of "Wait A Minute" exclusively from MTH RIGHT HERE!
