Back in the late 90s, our own Cheese N Pot-C were in a group that grabbed a bit of attention in Canada after the 1994-95 NHL lockout. That group, P.U.C.K. (Previously Unknown Canadian Kids), released a fiery anthem that captured the general zeitgeist among Hockey fans at the time. The song, a literal F.U. to Gary Bettman, the NHL Commissioner who insisted on salary caps and was one of the major factors that caused the 104 day lockout to occur. The song was released on the 1999 compilation “Johnny Hanson Presents… Puck Rock Vol. 2” released by Sudden Death Records.
Well today, they arrive here at blocSonic and deliver a couple friendly NSFW ditties… “F*ck You Everybody” and a live version of the infamous “F*ck Gary Bettman”. Consisting of Long John, Cheese, Pot-C, Kenny-K, Dementon aka Tha D, Tha R, Herbal-T, Yuk MC, Qwest-Dogg, Pee Wee & Tha G.M.C… P.U.C.K say hi and want to let you know that there’s more to come. Next week we’ve got single two!
Yo, P.U.C.K.! Welcome back! This is great stuff. Thank you for allowing blocSonic to help you continue the P.U.C.K. legacy! Welcome to the bloc fam! Now we’re waiting for an album. :)

Special Request drops the fourth and final album of 2019. Concentrating purely on the heavyweight original hardcore ethos of taking whatever you want from anywhere, these tracks are made for shelling down dances and losing your marbles.
Those who have been paying close attention will recognise the face-melting drum treatments from those instagram clips, constructed using purpose-built equipment and a healthy amount of irreverence.
Elsewhere we find clock mechanisms worked into the layers of various tracks, the voices of Francis Bacon, David Lynch and others & eventually one such clock speeding up to oblivion, merely hinting at where Special Request is taking you next…
Vinyl editions to follow in 2020 and will be released and deleted on the same day. Pay 0.00 for these downloads. Enjoy life.

Each December we release a compilation that reflects the current year and looks ahead to the next. It’s a mix of tracks where artists complement each other and where we feature some of their strongest work. It can be seen as a proud collection of tracks that defines the Atomnation sound.

On behalf of our artists and team, we wish you all the best for the new year. A couple of great projects are in the planning which we can’t wait to share with you. Thanks for your support!

Lamont Kohner once again graces our catalog with NIGHTLY, another two-track single of oil-slicked techno chug and abandoned factory-floor bass. Backed with CHROMATOSE, these two cuts once again assert that Kohner has the hands of an old master, dominating a dancefloor while remaining just elusive enough to continually reveal hidden peaks and valleys inside the wash of low end and nightlife neon. NIGHTLY recalls a bit of Rhythm & Sound / Main Street classic dub thump before getting impatient and riding some cymbal over a slo-mo house kick and clap. CHROMATOSE spaces out the space even more, with a distant woodblock that could just as easily be heard through a wet drain coming up from a standpipe, and chords doubling the claps that remind us a little of classic Kompakt schaffel and Speicher barnburners. Just a drop on the tongue, you wouldn’t dare take any more of this into your system!

Denver-based producer A Hundred Drums demonstrates her wide array of instrumental talents and genre diversity on her self-titled album, available this Valentine’s Day on Gravitas Recordings. Sitting comfortably at seven tracks, this album is Gabrielle Watson’s most ambitious project to date.
Detouring from the deep dubstep sounds that first made a splash in the scene, Watson uses A Hundred Drums to create her own sound and break away from familiarity by showcasing her vast musical influences.
The Valentine’s Day release date and self-titled album is a symbol of what A Hundred Drums intends to accomplish: “A Hundred” was chosen for its spiritual and societal primacy, and “Drums” call our hearts to beat in sync. A Hundred Drums aspires to align all listeners’ heartbeats to her BPM, unifying us all in the music. We beat with one collective heart on the day celebrating love.
A tribute to her passion project, “Shakti Sound” sets listeners on a globetrotting journey into mysterious and minimalistic 808s. A Hundred Drums puts a spotlight on her signature hand drums in “Circles,” which blend in an abstract, downtempo experimental soundscape before James Xavier sings of a wicked flame. Dashing down the dark road, A Hundred Drums tells the haunted tale of the “Boogie Man,” slicing through inky blackness with an eerie bassline and haunting whispers.
“Psy.Area” incorporates cascading psytrance as liquid bass is gradually dripped onto the track. Featuring A Hundred Drums’s first official collaboration with fellow Denver artist, Templo, “Apex” rides the wave through a cave of deep dub and metallic beats. Vibe Emissions “Circles” back to offer an energizing remix of the aforementioned song, incorporating various deep dubstep rhythms and textures. Legendary producer Leon Switch remixes “Lord of Tings,” released originally by Heavy Traffic Recordings and featuring Jayne Gray, into a seductive stupor, closing out A Hundred Drums’s self-titled album in a state of bliss.

TVS is a musical project born in 2018 to create an interaction between traditional instruments and electronic music, through live performances and compositions of Ambient Music, Experimental & Dark Ambient Music.
Teresa its a Flutist, Composer and Performer.
After a classical music education, she start to work with contemporary music, interaction with electronic music, instrumental improvisation, creation of sound environments for literary readings and projects involving interaction between various disciplines of art.
Her music combine experimental, atmospheric and synthetic sounds in a Dark Ambient sonority with touches of Deep Techno.
“Gabber” is a word from the Dutch language spoken in the Netherlands. The word gabber translates to something like “buddy” or “friend”.
The defining characteristics of the gabber genre is fast tempos, with distorted drum machine sounds, typically using the legendary Roland TR-909 drum machine. There is also a specific synth sound used to play the melodies, often called a “hoover” sound, sometimes described as a distorted, grainy, sweeping sound which feels dark and brooding in low frequencies. Other times when the hoover is played on the higher notes of the synthesizer keyboard it often sounds like an aggressive shrieking sound.
ANTIGABBER has nothing to do with that. Gabber is fucking stupid. Fuck all those weed smoking hippies in the Netherlands. Nobody likes that “gabber” bullshit. It’s not the 1990’s anymore. The sound on this album is the truest antigabber you will never hear. I hope you get a epileptic seizure listening to the hyperspeed blasts on this shit. It only slows down just enough to go hyperspeed again.
ANTIGABBER is the first step in achieving my lifelong mission to conquer the world with the ultimate goal of enslaving the human race and force them to build nuclear psychoactive mind controlling chemical weapons with massive destructive power to obliterate the entire earth and end the pathetic lives of all human scum.
