Simon/Off – Exit Space – HAR130a
Simon/Off – Eight Times Up – HAR130b
Simon/Off – Puppy Dub – HAR130c

Veteran Austrian producer Simon/Off’s Exit Space EP is Haunted Audio’s 30th release. Exit Space’s more euphoric vibe contrasts with Puppy Dub’s darker halfstep; breakbeats give the nod to breaks and jungle influences. Eight Time Up’s funky/broken beat interpretation charts a new course with its high-speed juke influences and glitchy sounds in a concentrated beat/rhythm joint.

Digging the minimalistic stylings! [Exit Space (Original Mix)] – Stereo Stormtrooper (SST)

Solid Ep all around, rolling tracks with some lovely sounds. – Mirror State

Top quality unique Simon/Off beats !!! 8/10 – Luthor

Eight Times Up is a very good tune! 8/10 – MetalBox Products

Another wicked one from the Simon/Off as each’n'every!!! When it comes to the most abstract and out-of-this-space-beatz, he’s the man! Defo supporting this!
8/10 – CixxxJ/Bassponmi

Eight Times Up is the one! Whole EP is great, will be playing these. 8/10 – Gary P/Elevater Action/Kursed Recordings

Loving the bounciness of Exit Space! The delicate instrumentals balance out the funky breaks nicely and doesn’t overpower the overall feel of the tune.

Really diggin Exit Space and Eight Times up!10/10 – Akrophobia

Eight times up is my pick of the bunch. Nice bounce and groove to it. Add some variation to a set. Nice.- Adam/Breakonomics

Three very original tracks, hard to pick a favourite but think it has to be Eight Times Up. Will be supporting. 8/10 – Mike Hindle/Immersed Audio Blog

Simon/Off always delivers and the Exit Space EP keeps with his high standard of original music production! All of the tracks in the EP are full of unique glitchy stabs under a big bass umbrella. This vibe will be in rotation for sure!

Nice to hear some deeper stuff doing well here – enjoyed both tracks. – DFRNT

Dance of the night is just magic. Wow. 8/10 – Adam/Breakonomics

Excellent work on both of these. Thanks! 8/10 – DJ Dylan Kennedy

Great stuff from Toronto Is Broken, Dance of The Night is a wonderfully deep tune, a mellow relaxing vibe. I Can’t Be Real keeps it very real with a sweet tune that stays honest to the depth of the release. 9/10 – GDM/Vibes Refresh Session

Great tracks as usual from one of the most consistent up and coming producers. 9/10 – Tony Parker, DTSFNEYMCCT

Both tunes are lovely! Dance of the Night is the perfect balance of moody & deep while I Can’t Be Real brings the tempo up a bit while maintaining the depth with great effects on the vocal refrain…nice one! 9/10 – DJ Winter/Testpress Digital/NYC

“I Can’t Be Real” is a nice driving progressive sounding tune, very ethereal. 9/10 – Rasputan

Dance of the Night – the atmosphere hits deep! one of my favorite releases by Haunted Audio to date. I Can’t Be Real – love the beat, the rhythm really gets me – 10/10~ Poor Ragged Rascal/Black Market Funk

Posted in Releases, z6z, z6z & Mr. V by ghosty on November 7, 2011 No Comments yet

Estonia’s z6z and Mr. V bring some fresh sounds with “Stay On The Clouds”, a tribal roller boarding on progressive house; and z6z’s “Exhale The Signals” is a haunting minimal bassmusic affair.. Beatport exclusive 11/7/11, Wide release 11/21/11

z6z – Stay On The Clouds (with Mr. V)-HAR128a
z6z – Exhale the Signals – HAR128b

More great releases from Haunted! 10/10 – MetalBox Products/Sub.FM

Exhale the signals is a beautifully dark excursion into atmosphere and bass. Brilliant. 8/10 – Adam/Breakonomics Radio

Huge release, full support, love the deep atmospheric vibes. 9/10 – Mike Hindle/Immersed Audio Blog

Tight sounds and deep vibe ! Feelin’ this! 8/10 – BunZer0

Exhale the Signals is beautifully crafted dubstep with a nod to the genre’s heyday. dark, sparse, spacious and brooding. 8/10. – Janner

Both tunes are really good, loving the dark/deep vibes. Great meditative music – supporting! Blind Prophet

z6z’s release of Exhale The Signals reminds us why we first enjoyed dubstep before its commercialization. Such a heavy vibe with it’s perfectly spaced out elements… this is a banger! 8/10. DGGZ/Vibes Refresh Session/Sub.fm

Stay On The Clouds is very progressive and cerebral, love the airy textures. 8/10 – Rasputan

The bright, hopeful ambient “Stay On The Clouds” is a stark contrast to the dark and sparse “Exhale The Signals.” “Stay On The Clouds” is my pick for best mix, with its emotional ambient layering of sound and soft chanting. 8/10 – SomeJerk/PatternAwareness/Digital Felon

..lovely vibes on this one! both tracks are great! 8/10. – DFRNT

Janner & BunZer0 – The Mutoid EP – HAR126

Posted in BunZer0, Janner, Releases by ghosty on October 4, 2011 No Comments yet

Janner’s Arrakis wand BunZer0′s Rebellion with epic melody and bass on the deeper end of the dubstep spectrum round out this 4-track EP. Beatport exclusive 10/5/11, Wide release 10/19/11

Janner – Mutant Crabs with Rocket Launchers (BunZer0 Remix) – HAR 126b


Janner – Arrakis – HAR 126c


BunZer0 – Rebellion – HAR 126d


“A masterpiece, BunZer0′s Rebellion is an engrossing track from start to finish, the man produces yet another top class tune. In addition to this a BunZer0 remix of Janner’s wonderfully named “Mutoid Crabs with Rocket Launchers” plus the original, PLUS Janner’s Arrakis completes a release of music that you can feel flowing through your veins! Wonderful stuff.
9/10″ – GDM, Vibes Refresh Session/Sub.fm

“Love the oldschool vibes on the janner tunes !!” – Simon/Off

“sick. super sick (release)” – Ryan Twoway Morejon, WWU02

“No denying the amazing sound from combining two bass heavy weights like Janner and BunZer0. Ace aggressive bass work here!! 9/10.” – DGGZ/Vibes Refresh Session/Sub.fm

“Janner kills it again, BunZer0 tight work on the remix. 8/10 ” – Rasputan

“Querky Sounds!” – Joe/Hush House blog

“BunZer0′s “Rebellion” stands out to me, really great track.” – Blind Prophet

“Loving the orig of Mutoid Crabs, but Arrakis original mix is my pick of the bunch. Melodic old skool flavour with some lovely low end and nice drum programming. Janner and haunted audio continue to go from strength to strength.” – Adam/Breakonomics

“‘Mutoid’ is a bit of a video game influence rave smasher with the infamous hiphop/jungle/rave Apache break lacing the 8bit funk, backed by the straight ahead breaks roller ‘Arrakis.’ BunZer0′s remix of ‘Mutoid’” beckons to the days of dubstep gone by, with dubby bassline and sparse landscape. ‘Rebellion’ from BunZer0 also seems to call to the past, with its rave stabs and steppy tribal rhythm. 8/10″ – SomeJerk

“I like the [Janner] garage mixes a great deal!” – MetalBox Products/Sub.fm

“Very distinctive beats from Bunzer0 & Janner, Arrakis is the one for me ;) 8/10 ” – Luthor

“Both are great tracks, weighty, but not too “silly” with the wobble or synths.” – DFRNT

Blind Prophet – Rotate feat. Brea – HAR 127

Posted in Blind Prophet, Policy, Releases by ghosty on August 15, 2011 No Comments yet

HAR 127a “Rotate” Feat. Brea

HAR 127b “Rotate” (Policy Remix)

Smooth summery future bass vibes from NYC’s Blind Prophet, featuring lovely vocals by Brea; coupled with Policy’s quirky acid house remix.

Beatport release 8/16; wide release 8/30

“Really feeling this release from Blind Prophet, “Rotate” has a great vibe to it, with each layer of samples defining the track further, before stripping it away and dropping it something akin to Sepalcure. The remix of “Rotate” from Policy is dark, stripped down, housey and a bit slow, lovely vibe for a more chilled hour of the night, or early morning. 9 out of 10″ – SomeJerk/Digital Felon

“Blind Prophet comes to Haunted with a tune named Rotate, appropriate as I will have this on rotation for a while, has some great sounds in there, almost organic. 8 out of 10″ – Luthor

“Great atmosphere and vibes on the original mix. Will support.” – Adam/Breakonomics RTE.ie

“Full support for the original, awesome release!” – Mike Hindle/Immersed Audio Blog

“Blind Prophet – Rotate (Policy Remix) Is the one for me! 8/10″ – MetalBox Products/Sub.fm

“Rotate is sweet and sexy tune ! Yummy ! 8/10 ” – BunZer0/FOB Show/Sub.fm

Both nice versions!!! Lovely! 8/10 – DJ Foster/Dubspencer Sound show/SubMafia show – sub.fm

“The Blind Prophet – Rotate Original has a wonderfully light sound with a real weighty bassline, while the Policy Remix does full justice to the Original. Amazing melodic sounds very pleasing to the ear. 8/10″ – GDM/Vibes Refresh Session

“Beautiful Track! Perfect Summer Deepness. 9/10″ – Poor Ragged Rascal/Black Market Funk

“Great tune for the summer! Chilled out but bouncy enough to keep the flow moving…love the vocal too :) ” –
DJ Winter/Testpress Digital/NYC

Posted in Rdubz, Releases by ghosty on July 31, 2011 No Comments yet

HAR 124a “Freak Accident”

HAR 124b “War Within”

Soundtrack meets dubstep, Freak Accident focuses on driving dubtechno sounds; while War Within features piano melodies and more progressive elements, all rooted within breakbeats and bass. “Funnily enough, both tunes represent the realisation of a previously hidden state of mind/consciousness, that moment when someone finds there is more to life that what they first see.” – Rdubz

Beatport Exclusive Release 7/26/11; wide release 8/9/11

“War Within is brilliant. Will support.” – Adam/Breakonomics
“Love the epic deep vibes!” – Ill-esha
“Both are really tight. The War Within is sensory overload with all the layers of sound, love it!” – Rasputan
“Freak Accident – cool percussion variation, nice melodies, and I like how the energy really lifts in the track” – Poor Ragged Rascal/Black Market Funk
“Freak Accident has one of them flows that keeps you hooked, Great work from Rdubz.” – Luthor

Luthor – Fraudulent/Emission – HAR125

Posted in Luthor, Releases by ghosty on July 29, 2011 No Comments yet

HAR 125a “Fraudulent” 

HAR 125b “Emission” 

Fraudulent is a minimal yet lush drum & bass tune with subtle details, giving a nod to old school techstep and neurofunk while firmly rooted in the ‘next level’ category. Emission meshes Luthor’s signature dubtech sounds with summery string melodies, driving rhythms and warm bass.

Beatport Exclusive Release 7/5/11; wide release 7/19/11

Adam/Breakonomics – “Emission is a serious piece of work. Intricate drum patterns and great atmosphere. Will support!”

Poor Ragged Rascal/Black Market Funk – “great sound choices, textures and intricate programming”

BassMusicBlog – “Sidenote from bassmusicblog. Really like the feeling and vibe of Emission.”

CixxxJ/Bassponmi - “Emission is really something I’m always on the look for: lush chords, a big groove and a warm dubby bassline! This will grace my sets for a lot of time. Fraudulent is great too…, the sound is enough refined to make me want it drop and test it on some heavy rig! big up Luthor, and Haunted Audio! Always coming with awesome tunes!”

Blind Prophet - “The second drop in Fraudulent” is where it’s at! And I will definitely be including “Emission” in my live sets.”

SimonOff - “Emission is a beauty … reminds me on the Broken Beat era! Timeless. And loving the tricky beats on Fraudulent. Will play both!”

Rasputan - “Very ethereal sounding, love it! Totally different. Send more, I’ll rinse all over Seattle ;)

DFRNT - “…! I love Emission – such a well constructed bit of percussion. Lovely – and the breakdown with the synths and stuff – yeah – likely to put this one straight in the DJ box for sure. Fraudulent is a beast too – deep, and minimal – Lovely stuff actually – very impressive release. Top marks!!”

BunZer0 - “big!”

FIS- Skin Beats/NU – HAR 123

Posted in FIS, Releases by ghosty on April 3, 2011 No Comments yet
HAR_123 HAR 123a “Skin Beats”
HAR 123b “NU”
New Zealand producer FIS lays down some heavy riddims with this moody next-level dubstep. NU veers into dark garage territory as haunting, ethereal vocal samples swirl above shuffled beats. On Skin Beats, airy soulful vocals layer over hints of dub accenting heavy bass, coupled with hybrid dubstep/half-step beats, giving a nod to the latest sounds emerging from drum and bass. Release date: 4/4/11 Beatport; 4/18/11 wide release.

Simon/Off – Let It Go/In Circles – HAR122

Posted in Releases, Simon/Off by ghosty on March 20, 2011 No Comments yet
HAR_122 HAR 122a “Let It Go”
HAR 122b “In Circles”
Austrian producer Simon/Off’s fourth release for Haunted Audio features his unique and timeless style of bass music. Let It Go’s breakbeats morph around beautiful house vocals to create an instantly classic peak hour tune. In Circles is a hybrid house/UK funky rhythm, but twisted through future garage and dubstep basslines and syncopated melodies. His tunes have been a favorite of Sonic Router and other key music outlets for some time now.
Release date: 3/21/11 Beatport; 4/4/11 wide release. 

 

After his searing appearance in Immerse, Simon/off is back on the radar
packing two cuts of fresh, uptempo beats with heart and soul. "Let it go"
reaches out to something almost euphoric with a charming square wave synth
line, while the percussion remains top drawer. "In Circles" is a dreamier
affair, where the synths really get to express themselves in a drunken but
friendly monologue.
