Boston is a place where east coast grit meets intellectual academia,
where world renowned institutes of science and technology meet DIY art,
where the mass appeal of top 40 billboard and dance drives our resistance movement underground,
where a strong community thrives in the fertile sewers beneath the streets.
Welcome to Vermin Street. We are Boston's culture of experiment.
Mochipet - Horny and Bouncy
1. Horny
2. Horny (Yoseph's Hot Dog Remix)
3. Horny (Dice Motion's Love Drug Remix)
4. Bouncy
5. Bouncy (Computo's Moombahpet Remix)
Mochipet has been around and back. In the past 10 years, he's released on labels from BPitch control to his own Daly City Records imprint. He's toured the world extensively, including all over the US, Europe and Asia; he's probably played your town and remixed your music as well, having worked with everyone from Kraddy, Jahcoozi, Spank Rock, Big Boi from Outcast, and the list goes on. And on. And on.
The A-side is clarinet style horns and layers of lasers abound, blanketed thickly over floor shaking kicks. Included are a relentlessly funky mix by Yoseph and a heavy heavy heavy Dubstep/Breaks hybrid by Dice Motion.
The B-side is another thick, heavily layered cake of lasers and bass, this time with more swagger. Computo provides the remix on this one with an exotic moohmbaton mix.
Jupit3r - Capitol Rhino
1. Decoded
2. Capitol Rhino
3. Levitation
4. Passport
5. Thumb
6. Paper Cut (featuring Stephan Jacobs)
7. Capitol Rhino (Suspender Remix)
Capitol Rhino is the first city of the next cycle; the first city after the world as we know it changes irreparably. After the world's resources and priorities shift in what we assume will be a more tribal direction, the world's population will also shift to adapt to the new rules.
Capitol Rhino, the new release from Jupit3r is designed to reflect that shift. Heavy impacts reminiscent of a rhino's crash, and scattering, heady psychedelia to represent the human tribe's search for a new way to apply itself.
Jupit3r's debut EP on Vermin Street, Zipperumpazoo, hit Addictech's top 10 for the month of April 2011.
Recent releases include a remix of Stephan Jacobs on Simplify and the Headtron compilation on Muti.
Represented by the Headtron agency, you can catch Jupit3r promoting the Capitol Rhino release on a late April tour w/Omega and Ruff Hauser, rocking this year's Coachella and Lightning in a Bottle festivals, or doing production tech work for Amon Tobin's ISAM tour worldwide.
Repping artists from all kinds of Bass Music crews all up and down the east coast: Seclusiasis, Dub War, Beat Research, Party Liberation Front, Temple of Boom, ElecSonic, and of course Vermin Street.

Two years ago, Misk's Nintendont release on Vermin Street hit #1 on Addictech's top 10 weekly chart and finished in March 2010’s top 10 for the month. Well received on all fronts, the tunes made regular appearances on Starkey's radio
show and on Glitch.FM as well.
Since then, Misk has embraced new styles, deeper, detail oriented Dubstep with melody and rugged bass, and his own imprint, Elk Beats, with long time friend Eshone.
But here, with his next release, First World Problems, we dig up some classics from his closet. More 8-bit melodies and Skweee 2.0 baselines, more crunchy claps and a few 111 BPM bootyshakers.
Also featured on this release are a sexy, lazery remix by +verb, a rugged, epic remix by Encanti, a thick, psychedelic-hop remix by HM.T DM.T, and a straight hip hop joint from the one CocoBryce.
Dedicated to the memory of James Huntington, aka HM.T DM.T, who passed unexpectedly during the album’s completion.
50% of pre-expense sales will go to James’ family.
Free because we love you.

original track by Boston's Hole Punch Generation
1. Burnkane - Boathouse
2. Burnkane - Boathouse (Robot Koch Remix)
3. Burnkane - Boathouse (Sonkin Remix)
4. Burnkane - Wonk Style
Burnkane does not produce music like you or I.
From repurposing dad's electronics for noise making in his teens; to working with a warehouse community/studio back home in Scotland; and now using programming languages such as Max/MSP, PureData and Supercollider to design audio manipulation software, Burnkane has developed an audibly unique approach.
With releases on Planet Mu and Electrocircle, Future Steps marks Burnkane's third release.
His alias, Beatwife, has been making Acid Jungle for years, with releases on a variety of labels, including Pixelord's Hyperboloid imprint and appearing alongside Core greats such as Xanopticon, Duran Duran Duran and more.
The A-Side of this release, Boathouse, is a creepy-seductive siren song with lush atmospherics and serious sub bass to rattle your pelvis.
This release features a thick 4x4/stepper relick by Robot Koch of Jahcoozi infamy, and an 808 driven Juke mix by Sonkin of the Seclusias camp.
The B-Side is the embodiment of future funk, paired down to the raw basics: crunchy bass, distorted claps and wah guitar plucks with the freshness.
1. 900 Miles
2. 900 Miles (Sub Swara Remix)
3. 900 Miles (Pumpkin Remix)
4. 900 Miles (Zander Remix)
5. Linin Track
Rising Smoke of the Hobo Kings is a collaboration of Hobotech and Haj.
Haj is a founding member of Sub Swara, who, as an event, were pioneering in bringing Bass Music to NYC. He's also been involved with numerous lauded, cutting edge projects, including Nyxxys with Hannah Thiem of Copal and Freek Factory with vocalist, Blacklight.
Hobotech is the creation of Jon Margulies. His aesthetic is the sound of boxcar funk, deisel dub and badass bluegrass crunk. Hobotech has played festivals across the country, including Coachella alongside Haj, SxSW and Burning Man. Jon is one of the world's leading experts on Ableton Live, having authored multiple books and presented workshops around the US, including regular gigs at Dubspot and NYU.
The A-side of this release is a homesick traveler's bittersweet tale, featuring Blacklight on vocals and Hannah Thiem on violin. Introspective melodies are coupled with subtle glitches to create a grinding tune that is tense, soothing and sexy.
The release features a deep and bass heavy remix by Sub Swara; a smooth Downtempo House/Midtemp Funk version by Pumpkin (of Pocket Underground and The Wandering Marrionettes); and a third remix by Zander (aka Traveler) with glitchy bass filtering and sugary sweet melodies.
The B side is a funkified cover of an old Ledbelly tune, Linin Track. Again, featuring Blacklight on vocals, this time with an alto laid down over bass driven beat to inspire a hands-in-the-air call-to-arms on the dancefloor.
