Bursting on to the scene in 2010 is up and comer Dane O from San Francisco. Dane's train is firing on all cylinders making big headway with his popular edits and his first release which is out now on Ground Level Recordings. Dane is getting things done at an early age, he's only 18!
First up is his Dusk Till Dawn Mix of Pendulum's "The Island". Taking both parts one and two and working them together in proper fashion with a Breakbeat layered behind.
Second on the free tune agenda is Borgore's "Ice cream" the Dane O Re-rub. Originally an eccentric vocal Dubstep track with kickass bass and some dirty vocals, Dane retains most of the original feel and reworks the drums while adding a useable intro for mixing in.
Next up is Dane's new release "Just Add Lazers". Opening with astral sounds abound and very little beat, you might expecting something softer from his first release. After a bit of a break with more airy pads and abundant arpeggios, the bassline starts to let you know it's coming. The growling yet funky bass quickly starts picking up the pace and the lead line that drops in really gets things moving. After the second breakdown, the bass makes room for ravey synths and lazers abound. The final breakdown gets big and trancey before coming back in strong. The second track in the release, "Earthly Sin" has some great vocal samples and is a deeper darker electro growler, with a Dubstep edge to it. Perfect for those 5am moments on the gnarlier of dancefloors! Remixes of "Just Add Lazers" were crafted by Dj Toxic and Si Biddle. The entire release is now available on Beatport.
Last up is Dane's new mini mix. Dane's mixing skills are apparent in this 37 minute mix as he deftly works through multiple genres while maintaining a solid groove and danceability. You can pick up loads more edits and Re-rubs as well on his Soundcloud page. Links to everything are available below.
