BnC Mix 007: Moniker
Read moreMy first exposure to Moniker came via our first BnC Mix, courtesy Bios and Zeke Beats. “Bogus” came in after Zeke’s infamous “Drugz”, and held its own with a banging beat and some of the glitchiest arcade bleeps in the game.

BnC Mix 006 – PRSN
Read moreAs you may have noticed, we at Booms and Claps are extremely down with everything that can be described as “slowfast”. If there were ever a term to describe PRSN‘s style, this would be it.

Most likely we say “screw that”, and instead go out and buy copious amounts of socially prescribed candy, flowers and other related Hallmark items. Whether you’re spending some time with your valentine today or not, this newest mix by Perkulat0r will provide you with all the…

BnC MIX 002: ONHELL
Read moreOver the past year, ONHELL’s special blend of RnB, bass music, and beautiful ambient melodies has been taking the West Coast by storm. Coming up out of Humboldt County, Angel Rubio-Hale, aka ONHELL came to the attention of the BnC staff when we stumbled upon his set on the main stage at Emissions West Coast Bass…

BnC Mix 001: Bios x Zeke Beats – Saturated Summer Mixtape
Read moreWhen we decided to host a Booms and Claps mix series, we wanted our first edition to double as a mission statement, representing the bass-laden and weird sounds we obsess over every day. Our ideal selector for this mission statement has always been Bios, the man in charge of BnC’s favorite label: Saturate Records. Based in Hamburg,…
