Harvard Bass-ics

One dude I can't seem to play enough of lately is Harvard Bass. I stumbled upon his Beni remix a while ago and it sent me on a hunt for more. His Caked / 81 EP (pictured below) is out now from Sound Pellegrino on Beatport and iTunes. Today I'm featuring two of Bass's remixes as well as a Renaissance Man remix after the jump.

First I'm tossing up his remix of Drop The Lime's "Set Me Free" which leads the way on the Set Me Free (Remixes) release last month.

Drop The Lime - Set Me Free (Harvard Bass Remix)

Next up is another remix released by Sound Pellegrino for Laidback Luke and Gina Turner's latest team up, Nouveau Yorican. The track is called "Boriqua" and Bass delivers a fantastic rework, combining stabbing synths, pounding kicks, and sheer balls to bring your ears joy like christmas day.

Where Were U In 2092?

For anyone who has been reading this blog (probably no one), you might start recognizing a pattern in the artists I post up. Usually they're in the heavier vein, meaning that when played at full volume, you'll most likely offend your co-workers/roommates/parents/girl/boyfriend. The bass tends to be über-present in tracks I post so you'll definitely piss off a few people unless they too enjoy glass/booty shaking, club pounding sounds like you (in this case, please point them in our direction).

So it is with this preface in mind that I bring you SONIC TRUTH, a funky fresh group out of Raleigh, NC. They certainly meet the requirements to be posted on Metal Top Hat, the bass fills my studio when I rock them. These cats have been pumping up crowds for the past year with super fresh bass-filled remixes of hip-hop and electro tracks as well as a few pounding original tracks which I am featuring today.

King Konga is the track that really sold me on Sonic Truth. It's heavy, thudding, powerhouse bass really drives this club hopper and it's catchy hook alludes to these boys having more than just some junk in their trunk (crank up your sub for this one):

Sonic Truth - King Konga

Yet another booty shakin' anthem...$hake your ass to another great original tune:

Sonic Truth - $hake It

And I've also included 2 top notch remixes. Both of these tracks will knock you on your ass so get ready and pump up the volume:

Laidback Luke & Diplo - Hey (Sonic Truth Remix)

The Faint - The Conductor (Sonic Truth Remix)
