Hard Core Compilation Album Scheduled to Release Soon

The submission phase of the untitled SHM060 hard core compilation album is now closed.  Twenty two tracks were approved for the album, but sadly there is not enough room for all of them.  After the best tracks are selected from the approved batch of tracks for each of the fourteen artist that are involved, we should have an official track list.  We are waiting on one premaster, and if this is not received by Wednesday of this week, the track list will exclude it and be done.  Right now I have received premasters from [my self], K.H.D. (of course), Imil, Predaking, Johan Jello, Aardwolf, O.P.B., Phydomir, Mosphire, Tilduh, Scorpyd (A.K.A. Inflicted Rage, Pyroblast), 1nsane, and Crippled.  Hopefully mastering and cover art will be finished this week, and we can get this thing rolled out!

DJ Istapp’s first solo release: SHM058

Nicey nice. We’ve been busy here at Shyfted Minds this week, and there’s a chance of two more releases going in to their final stages this week’s end! If you’ve been searching for some thing new and different in hard core electronic music, hard dance, or what ever you want to call it, search no farther (at least, you know, for now). DJ Istapp’s Twisted Origin EP is truly musical and melodic, but is by no means mainstream. You won’t expect to hear any DMX voice samples or cheesy pop lyrics. This is expression out of line, a style quite unforgettable! Click the image above or enter the discography section along the right to make it yours!*

 

*There is no implication of invitation to claim ownership of copyright, authorship, or the unforgettable style thereof.

Shyft Versus DJ Istapp – Hard Drive, Over Driven EP

This is a release that has been on the back burner for quite some time, due to the promise of being picked up by an other label. After being neglected by that label for almost a year, it came time to get it out there on Shyfted Minds. The Shyft version was previously released on SHM048 – In Check, but has been remastered for this release. A handful of good remixes, including one by Imil, K.H.D., and T2Kazuya! Grab it now.

Also, you should check back here again in the near future.  There is a solo release by DJ Istapp, K.H.D., and our newest member, DJ Gilga.  DJ Gilga participated on New Collective Audition, doing an awesome trance remix of The Sorcerer.  His debut on Shyfted Minds will be a full trance LP.  Check back soon for these!

New Collective Audition Out Now!

Today is the day! The Shyft remix album, New Collective Audition, has hit the net and is available for free down load in the discography section (located in the right column [you may have to scroll down; remember that SHM052 beat it to the punch)! I was happy to recieve and release all of these great remixes, and I want to thank the artists for taking the time to bring this thing to life. I want to thank those who finished their remixes months ago for being quick and waiting paciently for the release; I want to thank those who were short on time but managed to finish their remixes regardless, and I want to than Mister K.H.D. for all of his support and for mixing me an ear catching mash up that serves as an excellent preview to the album. This mash up can be streamed below.

The track list is as follows, including remixer and genre:

ElluomenneuM Part Two – K.H.D. (Nu Style Gabber)
The Face Stealer – Shyft (Dark Core/Clown Core)

Seven Days to New Collective Audition

The Shyft remix album, titled ‘New Collective Audition’, is finally taking its proper shape.  Just a few more submissions, which are reportedly in their final stages, are to be collected before the scheduled release date of November first.  The art work is finished, and mastering begins tomorrow.  Distribution shall be free, digital, and high quality as usual.  A track list will be revealed with the release, since it is not yet certain if the remaining few submissions will make the dead line (but expect between twelve and seventeen tracks).  They are timeless classics, though; I assure you, and I have very impressed with what I have received so far.  Tell every body.  Get pumped!  The king of clown core remixed by up and coming names from all over Europe and America!

In other news, I think that I am going to begin posting album reviews (of non-Shyfted Minds releases) here to draw more attention, to keep the posts flowing, and to teach my self how to describe music more objectively- or at the very least seem that way.

Remix Album to be Released Early November, 2010

After some delays, the remix album is moving ahead again with the recruit of four new artists.  Eight tracks are finished, two tracks are having the finishing touches applied, three tracks are just beginning, and one artist I am waiting on sample work for before being approved.  If the six tracks that I am waiting on are completed before November first and suit my taste, the album will be mixed, mastered, and released.  If more artists request to take part during that time, I may consider including a second ‘disk’ (this is going to be a digital only release).  The confirmed (finished or near finished) remixes are as follows:

Dakkaeus – K.H.D.
Illuryzquin – DJ Istapp
The March of the Champion – T2Kazuya
Ondas – Shoujo
Rompus – K.H.D.
God Mod – Demon’s Breath
I Will Be The One – Shyft
To Destroy All Things – The Augerz
Unforgettable – DJ Istapp
The Kingdom of the Future – K.H.D.

Tracks to be completed are This is Gabber Bizzap, The Face Stealer, Ryzqk, The Sorcerer, 33, and A Warrior’s Fury.  Below is a Youtube mash up of the tracks that still need to be completed for the album.  All hard core artists are encouraged to send an email to Feind.Shyft@gmail.com including an mp3 of or link to their best work, if they are interested in participating.  If the track that you want to remix has already been chosen, I will notify you in my response email.  If you are familiar with my work and want to remix a track not listed, feel free to let me know, as I may be open to approving it.

Vociferous Euphony EP out now!

The Shyft Versus K.H.D. extended play has been titled ‘Vociferous Euphony’, has been finished, has been mixed and mastered, has been released!  Head over to the discography section right away to down load it for free in high quality mp3 format!  Thanks to K.H.D. for being such a wonderful producer and easy going collaborator, and thanks to my brother DEVEREX for helping make the cover art! Below is a preview mash up of the tracks on the EP mixed by K.H.D.

Shyft Versus K.H.D. EP

A yet to be titled Extended Play is in the works by Shyft and K.H.D..  Super hardcore.  Super melodic.  It is scheduled to be five or six tracks long and released as catalog number SHM049 to make way for the Shyft remix album as the big fifty.  The two of us have been working very quickly, which seems to be in our nature when it comes to music production, so expect it soon!

Take a listen to a preview to a brand new track and a full one (The Projekt, if you haven’t heard it yet) below:

Also, MyParasites is doing a remix contest for their track Manipulator and I submitted a gabber remix similar to the style of God Mod.  Check out my submission here:
