AC & Dell is the duo of Brooklyn-based globetrotting DJ/producer AC Slater and party-rocking Atlanta indie rapper Dell “O8O” Harris. “Right Now” is the infectious title track from their banging 2010 rap album, Right Now, released by NYC streetwear giants Mishka Clothing.
In addition to the original mix, psychedelic heavy-bass master Udachi turns in a nasty dance floor friendly dubstep version, a roller-coaster ride through wobbly bass, slapping snares, and plenty of the intricate synth melodies that are his signature.
Wow, its been a crazy month in the Party Like Us headquarters: we’ve put out releases from Hostage, AC Slater & Xaphoon Jones, Kry Wolf and Blaze Tripp. For your listening and downloading pleasure, we decided to round em all up in one place for a retrospective of the last four crazy weeks of bass:
For the fifth volume of Party Animals, we travel down under to Sydney, Australia to showcase a producer who is making big noise and turning a lot of heads: Blaze Tripp. “Feelin It” blends old school rave synths and angelic vocals with pulsating low end.
UK duo Kry Wolf return with a vengeance for Volume IV of our Party Animals release series! Prototype is a pounding summer jam that will get feet moving both poolside and at the club. For fans of Chromeo and Mehdi. Crossfire takes a deeper, more aggressive turn with a barrage of bass and sharp syncopated percussion. For fans of Lil Silva and Roska. Go get em!

Party Like Us Records continues it’s odyssey through new and exciting bass music with the second installment of Party Animals! In Volume I, Udachi unleashed his dark and fiery dubstep banger Chemicals Feat. The Botz and ripped apart speakers around the world. This time we take you across the Atlantic Ocean with two heavy-duty tracks from UK based up and comer Submerse, recently featured inXLR8R’s Bubblin editorial. He may be a young gun, but Submerse’s fast paced, bass heavy style shows true mastery of the studio and the club alike. ‘Shukka’ takes no prisoners, its four to the the floor rhythm, syncopated snares and raw, heavy basslines makes for the perfect peak hour jump-up weapon. ‘One For You’ follows beautifully, starting off with atmospheric piano, high pitched vocal samples and spacey synths, building up to an explosive hands in the air bassline drop. Don’t get caught in the club without this essential new release in you arsenal!
In January 2011 Party Like Us celebrated 2 years of banging bass music. This compilation is a collection of the most popular songs we’ve released in the last 2 years, along with 4 exclusive previously unreleased songs including the first original AC Slater tune on Party Like Us since “Banger”, a brand new VIP Heavyfeet remix, a special 2 year anniversary remix from Will Bailey, and a new remix by hot up and comers Torro Torro! Get it at Beatport or iTunes
Udachi is on fire lately! We just released his new EP called Stumble which features vocals by fellow Staten Islander Short Stories. “Stumble” combines the best of both worlds; beautiful melodic synths and aggressive thumping bass, seamlessly blended together as only Udachi can. B-side “Fantastika” provides the EP with an epic upbeat funk filled dubstep/breaks crossover track with twitchy bass and catchy lead riffs that float along a spacey landscape. Go pick it up at Beatport or iTunes!
We’ve started a new series of releases for you guys called “Party Animals”.
For the 1st edition we have the mighty bass wizard Udachi with the deep and driving “Chemicals” featuring vocals by The Botz. This track already has support from BBC Radio 1, Australia’s Triple J, Rinse FM and DJs world wide including Drop the Lime, Bag Raiders, Roska, Doorly, Zombies For Money to name a few! Out February 8th 2011!

Kry Wolf (aka Bill Francis and Lewis Darvill) are a production and DJ duo from Portsmouth who have been cultivating a unique sound over the past year or so. These guys have played major stages like the UK’s massive Bestival and literally as underground as a “Cave Rave”. With tracks and remixes out on Wearhouse Music, San City High, and their own label Sounds of Sumo, Kry Wolf is getting busy. We’ve picked up a couple tracks for Party Like Us, the bouncy vocal “Stand Up” and the extremely unique and exciting “3001”, a track already bigged up by DJs like Sinden and Kissy Sellout. We’ve got remixes by AC Slater, Udachi, and Bombaman. We’re excited to have Kry Wolf as our first EP by a UK artist.
How often does B. Rich hustle? Every day! The busy producer revisits his 2009 favorite with a major update. AC Slater gives his original remix a 2010 treatment, and LA’s talented Flinch chimes in with his own amazing interpretation.
