Between Hy-Tekk Productions, Lotus Camp, Think 2Wice and the independent drawing power of KC house music legend, Pat Nice, we've got three super solid options for you to break a leg to this Saturday in Westport. The Union, Gusto Lounge and the Riot Room are partaking in...
A couple of years ago, I asked a friend of mine what she thought the next big thing in music could be. "Maybe lo-fi will make a comeback," she quipped jokingly. Enter the Kansas City-based, beat-creating collective, The Outer Peoples. Primarily comprised of BMoody, Dan...
![KC-Based Beats/Electronic [2011 Music Picks]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/NEZBEAT-EDIT.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
With more artists in KC doing experimental, beat music derivatives this year, I thought this separate chart would only be right. I don’t think I had near as many favorite local beats to refer to when the Demencha writers put together their 2010 music picks last year. But in...

As we mentioned over the weekend, KC-beat guru, Leonard DStroy, has a new album coming out soon. Soon is today. The Elm & Oak label is calling this a "collage album", featuring over 50 beats in just nine tracks. The name behind the album seems rather simple now. We've always...

In anticipation for Global Dub Festival on November 5th at the Midland featuring Benga, Mimosa, Zeds Dead, Freq Nasty and a whole gang of bass champs sure to be spliced up into different rooms, we decided to throw out this brand new mix from Mimosa. Sent to us in e-mail by...
Fit for a rainy day in KC comes Dan Matic's latest bandcamp release, Coeruleus, consisting of fifteen oddball beats somewhat less mean than his recent stuff (or at least our favorites from his previous releases). The KC-based, Reggie B, has a feature on here as well. Check...

What better way to top the David Heartbreak DJ show at Union a few weeks ago than to bring back a bunch of the openers who played that show for a one-off event this Saturday night at the same venue? This event has good party vibes written all over the flyer. Specifically...
