The story of Pegboard Nerds starts 20 years ago, when the Scandinavian duo Alex and Michael, hailing from Denmark and Norway, started producing music individually. They ghost-produced over 100 tracks and remixed over 200 all across genres like Techno, House, Eurodance, Electro and Trance.

In 2005, Alex and Michael joined together and started to write tunes as Pegboard Nerds. It's been quite a storm since then. They're currently touring the world and will be featured at the legendary Global Gathering Festival this year.

Panda presents Kashuks. I received a demo a few months ago from this Latvian producer and I was blown away by what I heard. His tracks sound like they should accompany huge cinematic productions of tales of tragedy. It's somewhat like dubstep, but with a lot of hiphop influences mixed in there too. It reminds me a lot of Rob Dougan's stuff too.

All in all it's a very different sound than we usually hear from producers now. I love it and I hope you do too! Be sure to check out more of his music on Facebook and support it because we need more of this original music coming in to the scene.

His album "Piece of a Chance" is out now on Audio Rejectz.

Kashuks was born in 1991 and now he is a producer and remixer from Latvia. He has been making music since 2007. Kashuks started music making as a small joke and in several months this joke became in more serious movement. He started with hip hop beats only. From 2009 till 2012 he produced a lot of Latvian well known hip hop artists. In year 2010 his first hip hop instrumental release was nominated as Latvian Hip Hop Year Award and it was recognized as it. Now he has grown his skills and he intricately weaves multiple genres from electronic, down-tempo, melancholy and chill, hip hop, to experimental, to create truly mesmerizing pieces. On 17 August 2012 he released his first studio debut album "Piece Of A Chance".

Whoever said ‘it’s grim up north’ has yet to tune their ears to audio delights from production and DJ outfit Northern Lights. Comprising of Zak Burton & Gareth Kitcher aka Steppa and Kitcha, the duo who have been collaborating since 2009, have created nothing short of a hearty back-catalogue of releases under their Northern Lights alias; including chart-topping bangers championed by the likes of Congo Natty and Shogun Audio.

With deep rooted established careers in the world of drum and bass, the tail end of 2012 marked the beginning of a new musical venture for Northern Lights; exploring slower tempos, notably Dubstep. Yet continuing to remain ever faithful to their signature upfront dancefloor sound, tracks such as ‘Loonology’ and ‘Sentiments’ hurtled them to the attention of bass-heavy tastemakers including True Tiger who quickly snapped up a batch to be released on their own imprint Stripes.

And there’s a lot more from where that came from! Further testament to the musical goodness currently bubbling from Northern Lights’ HQ is the support from Dubstep dons Skream and Benga, who kicked off their first Radio 1 show of the year, personally selecting them as Future Stars of 2013!

Already booked to play key bass music and fans’ favourite festivals across the globe this Summer including a much welcomed return to Hideout and Outlook, the future for Yorkshire’s finest export, Northern Lights, looks very, very bright indeed!

Drawing influences from D'n'B, Breakbeat to Dubstep and Electronica, they mixes these different flavours to create tunes running from dark and driving to melodic & atmospheric. They focuses on the more groove-driven side of music, formulating wall shaking bass, skanking melodies, and boucing beats. Performing live pa, they combined a blend of emotive synth lines, syncopated bass-heavy beats and shrieking stabs any time they take on their laptops & controllers.

One of AudioPorn’s newest and brightest collectives’ Mediks return for their second release on the label, after the breakthrough success of their debut ‘Outbreak’ EP – the EP received a glowing 9.5 rating from premier electronic journal, DJ Mag and the Liquicity upload of ‘Blown Away’ alone garnered hundreds of thousands of views. Mediks have built their reputation on a marriage of technical aptitude and bouncing vibrancy, and their latest ‘Fast Lane’ EP is no exception to the rule with five unique, genre-crossing tracks laced with Mediks’ signature synth-workouts and relentless energy.

‘Fast Lane’ Ft. Texas

Opening with crunching snares and a tearing lead guitar riff that sails through the arrangement, ‘Fast Lane’ wastes no time moving towards its devastating drop. Paired with Texas’ flowing lyrics and waves of futuristic, laser-esque synth stabs, ‘Fast Lane’ sets the pace for the EP’s no-holds-barred approach to tech-orientated dance floor destruction.

‘So Cruel’ Ft. Georgina Upton

‘So Cruel’ is the perfect display of Mediks’ ability to simultaneously juggle a multitude of moods and tempos – with its down-tempo plucking synths and soaring vocals courtesy of Georgina Upton making her AudioPorn debut – rendering the listener unable to predict the switch-up in the arrangement when the track eventually breaks into its bouncing synth-led drop. Dominated by fluctuating mids and rumbling subs, ‘So Cruel’ once again underlines Mediks’ playful vigor amidst their trademark rolling energy.

‘By A Thread’ Ft. Georgina Upton

Continuing in the same vein from the runaway success of ‘Blown Away’ from their debut Outbreak EP, ‘By A Thread’ drops the all-out assault of the EP’s opening two tracks and focuses on uplifting, hands-in-the-air summertime vibes. With its pulsating stabs and Georgina Upton’s titular, soothing vocals laced throughout, ‘By A Thread’ is another glowing example of Mediks’ adaptability and keen ear for mood progression.

‘Hulk’

Displaying Mediks’ comfort in technical excellence at a multitude of different tempos, ‘Hulk’ drops the tempo down to 140 without losing sense of their signature boisterous intensity. With its processed claps, wandering retro-futuristic synths and guitar licks punctuated throughout the arrangement, ‘Hulk’ rarely treads on similar grounds twice as its mid swipes seem to have a mind of their own, floating effortlessly after the drop. Sure to send dance floors across the land into a mindless frenzy.

‘Hands On That Ass’ Ft. Messinian

Being no strangers to sonic experimentation, Mediks have come up with something entirely different with the ‘Fast Lane’ EP’s closing track. ‘Hands On That Ass’ welcomes premier wordsmith Messinian – who has toured worldwide, as Dieselboy’s front man in particular, as one of Drum & Bass’ most successful MC’s to date. With its rolling, militant hi-hats and G-Funk inspired wailing synths. ‘Hands On That Ass’ takes the usual tropes associated with ‘Trap’ music and evolves them, Mediks-style. Hold on to your hats people.
