Hey friends! I know I have a pretty heavy focus on rock & folk here at Root Down In The Shadow, but from time to time I totally dig me some solid Electronica music. Back in the late '90's, we'd have Electronica nights with Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, Deejay Punk-Roc, Propellerheads, The Crystal Method and more!!!
It was the golden age really, drum & bass was live and well with Goldie. Everyone wanted a Moby or Fatboy Slim remix! The best albums of many artists dropped at that time. Many bands have infiltrated our daily lives without us even knowing, such as Chemical Brothers 'Galvanize' on a beer commerical or Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' as the theme music for the widely successful tv show House!!
So what does this have to do with Conspirator?? Conspirator's Unleashed is the best entry I've heard to date since my old electronica days, to get this "old man" turn up his bass and crank the stereo loud. Deadmau5 and Bassnectar come close, and other friends of mine prefer Skrillex, but Conspirator is certainly what makes me wish I had my old sub & amp hooked back up!
Here's the deal. There was a very pivotal compilation that broadened my Electonic horizons where CMJ could only give one or two songs at a time. This compilation had it all. Portishead, Chemical Brothers, CJ Bolland, Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Roni Size & Reprazent, Underworld and more.
Some soundtracks came close, (The Saint, The Jackyl, or Spawn). But this mystery compilation may have been the most complete compilation of all genres, of all time.

Conspirator set to release new album Unleashed on January 29 followed by 28 city U.S. tour!
With their utmost experience and mastery of the craft, Conspirator pushes into 2013 with more raw power and drive than ever, starting with the release of their new EP Unleashed on January 29 followed by an 28 cityU.S. tour.
Packed with bass heavy, yet melody driven anthems, this forward thinking band continues to refine their abilities as both onstage and studio driven electronic musicians. As the keyboardist and bass player from The Disco Biscuits, Aron Magner and Marc Brownstein, couple the form and flow of their organic roots with the heaviness that defines the American bass-music scene today. The quartet has risen to unparalleled heights, with the inclusion of guitarist Chris Michetti and Pendulum tour drummer KJ Sawka.
Unleashed is a crystal clear demonstration of Conspirator's heavy, electronically produced core coupled with a skillful and melodic homage to live instrumentation. Electronic rock sensibilities are gracefully smashed into jaw dropping, dance-floor shaking dubstep rhythms to create an effortless fusion of all things deep. This high-impact collision creates an all encompassing, energetic spectacle which will no doubt be used to shock their devoted crowds from coast to coast.
Following the release of Unleashed, Conspirator will embark on an 28 stop tour to deliver their newest production to fans throughout the Southeast, Midwest, West Coast and Colorado. The tour will begin alongside electronic pioneers, Break Science, on January 31st in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and finish on February 24th in Indianapolis. From there Conspirator will head out to the West Coast starting in Santa Monica at Central on 3/13 and work their way to Colorado concluding the tour on 3/23 at the Ogden Theatre in Denver"
