Chuckie, MRK1 & Doctor – “Mek Money (FIGURE Remix)” (FREE DL!!) [Trap//Drumstep]

Posted by funkadelphia on

FIGURE

 

Here is a song I was kinda nervous about seeing posted on April Fool’s day, but after listening all the way through I can assure you that this is no joke! We have been waiting for this remix for quite some time now, and this Funkadelphia favorite, FIGURE, has outdone himself yet again. The Indiana producer has always kept me impressed with his ability to touch on (and absolutely destroy!!) a wide range of genres, many times even accomplishing this in a single track. He does it again, but this time he brings trap into the game. With tags on his soundcloud such as “trap”, “nottrap” and “imgoingtotagtrapsoitgetsmorehits”, it’s obvious that he has not jumped aboard the “trap train”, but rather can appeal to the masses while staying true to himself and giving the fans what we love: that signature filthy FIGURE drumstep sound. Now crank up those speakers and get ready to hear one of the dirtiest trap/drumstep tunes of 2013!

Aesop Rock – “Coffee (Figure Remix)” (FREE DL!!) [Dubstep//Drumstep]

It seems Figure is getting back to his hip-hop love a lot lately; with a remix of a Deltron 3030 track, followed by several collaborations with Del himself, and now this brand spankin’ new remix of an Aesop Rock track. This one comes on smooth, with an easy kicking beat and Aesop’s rhymes flowing effortlessly on top. But of course it’s still a Figure track, so be sure to count on one hard-hitting wall of bass, some epic beat adjustment, and one overall hell of a track. FREE as always from Figure. Enjoy!

Yep that’s right: new Figure. It’s enough to turn any cloudy day into a sunny way. Luckily, it’s already nice and sunny out, so this just made the day even better. Apparently Figure’s been sitting on this one for a while, waiting to get the right vocals on the track. Well, if that’s the case, then I’m glad he waited, because the smooth lyrical rhythms of Qwel are absolutely perfect on this track. It’s a pretty tough debate whether Figure or Qwel kills it on this track more; I think I’ll let you guys be the judge. And as always from Figure, it’s up for FREE download!! Enjoy!

Rico Tubbs & Will Power – Temple of Doom EP [Moombahton//Trap]

Rico Tubbs & Will Power - Temple of Doom EP

Definitely one of the mightiest labels out their, DOOM Music- brainchild of Figure- just put out their latest release. It’s a three track EP featuring both Rico Tubbs and Will Power. All three tracks experiment with mixing and crossing over between the moombahton and trap genres. Although, as you would most likely expect from a monstrous label such as DOOM Music, the bass on this release is nice and dirty; putting these tracks more in the “moombahcore” category than straight moombahton. Nonetheless, I’m loving this whole thing, and you guys will too; get to it!!

Waka 2013

It’s finally time to start thinking festival season, and you know that’s got us excited. For the rest of the Winter and Spring, we will be bringing you lineup announcements from some of what we consider to be the top notch festivals of the year here in America. And I couldn’t be more happy to kick off this series than with the complete lineup announcement for the 10th Annual Wakarusa Music & Camping Festival. The festival has been happening every year for the past decade in beautiful Ozark, Arkansas. This year the festival is set to be held from Thursday May 30th through Sunday June 2nd, and finally Funkadelphia will be in attendance. What is to be so excited about when attending Waka? How about a beautiful view from the mountains of Arkansas; a cooler, shaded woods camping option; a pristine lake to cool yourself off during those hot festival daytime hours; and an incredibly eclectic lineup including such jam acts as STS9, Umphrey’s McGee and Papadosio; massive electronic acts spanning from the bass heavy Figure, Baauer, SAVOY, Run DMT and R.L. Grime to the psychedelic and mind-blowing Amon Tobin, Shpongle and EOTO to the chilled-out grooves of Gramatik, Tipper, The Polish Ambassador, Emancipator, GRiZ and Samples; hand-swaying hip-hop artists Del the Funky Homosapien and Rebelution; to the happy sunshine rhythms of acts such as The Black Crowes and Of Monsters and Men. And believe me, with all those acts, I still left out A LOT!! Be sure to check out the festival’s official website for full lineup details; and hope to see some of you guys at the end of May!! We’ll be reppin’ The City of Brotherly Love!!

Admittedly, we’ve been experiencing some internet technical difficulties here today; but it’s still technically Mix Monday, and this is a mix that absolutely can’t be ignored, so let’s get to it. Along with announcing a new tour (after literally just finishing up his Brain Waves Tour), which he’s calling Adventures In Time and Space- see Full Tour Dates Here!- the drumstep bass destroyer from Indiana known as Figure released a promo mix to go along with the tour. It clocks in at just over 20 minutes, but man did Figure cram a lot in here: there’s 5 new original tracks, a remix of his track “Must Destroy” from Droptek, plenty of the classics and a couple dashes of other tracks to keep it all fresh.

Posted by funkadelphia on

You know what time it is: FIGURE time. Time to turn those speakers the f*** up; and time to get the f*** down. Seriously, I challenge anyone to coment a Figure song that isn’t good. Every thing the Indiana native touches is pure gold- and by “pure gold”, I really mean a relentless filthy bass attack. Plus, as many of you know, Figure’s always droppin’ his stuff for FREE, and this one’s no exception. So you really have no excuse. Enjoy!!

Album Review: Figure – Monsters of Drumstep Vol. 3 + “The Corpse Grinders” FREE DL!! [Dubstep//DESTRUCTION]

Posted by funkadelphia on

Okay, so if it hasn’t been clear enough thus far, I think I should confess to my undying love for producer Figure. I don’t know what it is about this guy, but he just completely tears songs into shreds every time he gets on the decks. I’ve heard quite a bit of filth in my day, including a lot of Figure’s work, but every time there’s a new release from the Indiana native, I find myself shaken by how much he managed to still turn up the heat. Well, just this morning, Figure released the third installment in his Monster’s of Drumstep series, packed full of 15 brand new tracks, including 10 originals and 5 remixes from other masters of grime, such as (one of my other personal favories) J. Rabbit, Dr. Ozi and Oscillator Z. While a lot of those remixes pack a punch, I really just want to talk about the originals for now though. What we know already about Figure’s music is that, especially with these releases, he uses samples from classic horror movies and that he is a master of drumstep and BPM fluctuation in general. This album definitely demonstrates his further mastery of use of both of these tools, with “No Turning Back” featuring probably one of the creepiest samples yet to be used in a bass tune, and some of the finest beat changes I’ve yet to hear from the man on “The Corpse Grinders”. Overall, don’t really expect too much as far as anything ground-breaking goes; but hey, it’s Figure, and he’s still one heck of a producer. Turn the bass up and let him do what he does best.

Figure – “Super Sonic Brain Waves (VIP Mix)” (FREE DL!!) + Figure Live @ SoundGarden Hall Re-Cap & Video!! [Drumstep//Grime]

Posted by funkadelphia on

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve literally just been surviving this week by running off the adrenaline from Figure Saturday night. If you weren’t there, it was the opening night for SoundGarden Hall, and I don’t think it could have gone off better! With The Killabits opening, the night was already off to an incredible start; the Canadian duo dropped plenty of their own filth, as well as a few favorites before capping off their set with “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. But then it was Figure’s turn, and as I’ve said time and time before, the Indiana drumstep destroyer doesn’t play around. This was my second time seeing Figure live and I can say whole-heartedly that it only got better. SoundGarden Hall also built the night up to be one of the most insane parties the city of Philadelphia has yet to see. Among a slew of new stuff Figure gave the other night though was his “Super Sonic Brain Waves (VIP Mix)”, which he just dropped for FREE  on his Soundcloud this morning!! I love the way he plays with those BPMs. Ok, I’ll just leave you with some last words from Figure himself: “Philly is the shiiiiiit”.

Figure & Cas One – “The Accident” (FREE DL!) [Drumstep//Grime]

Posted by funkadelphia on

“Figure wins dubstep”. Those are the words I found coming out of my mouth after hearing just a few of the Indiana native’s tunes; and that was just a bit over a year ago now. I think that testament still stands true to this day as Figure continues to rise and rise as increasingly dominating force in the scene. With a background in hip-hop DJing*, Josh Gard soon decided to take on dubstep, focusing on producing tracks at the drumstep BPM (generally about 175 BPM). These fast-paced, and constant tempo-changing drum kits, that Figure features in his song are just the base for what he’s really laying down though. Anytime you’re listening to a Figure track, you better get yourself prepared, because when that drop’s comes, it’s going to ANNIHILATE you! Figure is already relentless, but he brings in the vocal talents of Cas One on this track for that little, extra, special touch. It’s a sensory overload to be completely honest. Enjoy!!
