Anaconda E.P. - Beat Doctor
22 February 2010
Beat Doctor presents three bassline house tracks in this extended release from Toucan Music. Anaconda combines a drum and bass style warped bassline with electro house beats, sinister textures and screaming effects. Big Fat Star features another large, fat bassline, this time adding filtered, stuttering vocal samples along with pumping house rhythms. Itchy And Scratchy keeps the bassline house vibe but has a more minimal feel, with dirty glitch effects and old skool sliding hoover samples. All tracks are free to download under a Creative Commons licence in full length, DJ friendly mp3 format.

2010 Remixes - Redmann
22 January 2010
This release features two brand new, full length remixes of Redmann tracks, fresh for 2010. First up, Beat Doctor reworks the Psychadelik Pedestrian version of March 2005 track "You Make Me" in a contemporary electro house / progressive trance crossover style, taking the vocal and melody and adding bouncy house rhythms and hypnotic synths. The second remix is by Psychadelik Pedestrian who takes the orchestral elements of "Peace", the lead track from 2009 "Three In One" E.P., and pitches everthing up a notch adding frenetic breakbeats and deep, pulsating bass.

Seeking You / Thirty One 2009 - Hyperterminal
20 October 2009
This release from Toucan Music celebrates the tenth anniversary of two classic trance tracks from Hyperterminal. First produced in March 1999, Thirty One was the debut Hyperterminal track and defined the trademark synth driven Hyperterminal sound. It was Seeking You, produced in September 1999 and released online in December, that slowly brought Hyperterminal recognition and led to a record deal, reaching the dance top ten on MP3.com in 2000 and later top spot on the Vitaminic music download site in 2001. Ten years on, and the tracks have been remade in a contemporary, upfront tech-trance style with thumping rhythms, bouncy tech bass and soaring trance synths and arpeggios. Both tracks as usual are full length and completely free to download under a Creative Commons licence.
