The Transmission EP.
1:The Vangarde - Transmission
Transmission is the lead tune from this amazing promo EP from The Vangarde. Transmission is only just touching the surface of what is to come.
Transmission starts with some good subtle horn stabs and nice layered set of old skool Hip-hop beats. Bishop takes you through vocally in style with a brilliant use of lyrics.
Then the next thing you know without any warning you get taken by surprise like an alien abducting you in the night.
The change in this track is huge, All of a sudden what started off as a nice chilled tune turns into an angry beast with heavy beats all over it and some really powerful synths bringing you more electronic mayhem then Five Terminators overheating.
This tune is one of them ones that just keep your heads nodding and your toes tapping all night long. Now it’s time to go live, we have Transmission.
2: The Vangarde -Ride it out
Ride it out is a huge track and was this year’s Nomination that got them to the top five places at Australia’s premiere Music Oz Awards. Ride it out has something about it that is different from any of the other tracks on here. It has the ability to make you walk away humming the tune or singing the words.
That is when you know you have something special on your hands when you can make someone subconsciously sing your song.
The Vocal from Ivory in this is really well sung and has a really powerful meaning to it. Many of us have been in this situation in where you are not sure what to do so we try to ride it out. Hence the lyrics in this song.
All we have to do is ride it out when you stuck in the deep end, keep your head above water breath in.
All we have to do is ride it out your losing your control got to take hold never refuse to let go. Ride it out is one of them tunes you will keep listening to many times and it never seems to get boring. The Vangarde went in with everything on this track. What a Master piece.
3: The Vangarde Ode2Tokyo - Maztek Remix
Maztek is one of the rising stars in Drum & Bass and after hearing a demo form The Vangarde he jumped at the opportunity to remix one of their songs. The remix Maztek has done is The Vangardes award winning track at the 2008 Music Oz awards it also gained heavy rotation on MTV.
The tune starts with some eerie atmospheres and a spooky voice then it lets you know that we are deep inside your head. Rust starts it off with a generous helping of rapping while Maztek bring some bone crunching beats and a low sub bass that would awake the Mummies who had been asleep for Ten Thousand years.
This tune gets a thoroughly deserved make over from Drum & Bass bad boy Maztek. The tune has had huge support from some of the scenes top DJS and has graced the dance floors in many countries A. big Intro tune for any club night or Rave.
4: The Vangarde – Ride it out Bankai Remix
Bankai another Australian shows his full support to his fellow countrymen and flies the nations flag high with his new style of Electro he has created. This tune starts off like a Beethoven symphony in a concert hall.
The intro has a very complex Piano pattern that will grab you like a Lion chasing his prey in the Savannah. The bass is furious with a good number of changes, keeping you completely locked in from start to finish, heat seeking target destroying tunage.
Bankai also uses some really new sounding ideas to make this remix something different from any other Electro produced music out there. Just before the drop you get them words that seem to stick in your head all we have to do is ride it out. And the tune comes to life with some real soul and funk to it.
This one is making your Nan and Granddad dance. No Nan, Granddad do not do it. Ride it out has had a complete work out Bankai style and you will be screaming for more. Bankai nailed this one together like a coffin maker on call out after Dracula had a Blood thirsty feast on a town.

This tune beat thousands of people to give the band yet another invite to the televised national unsigned music Oz awards.
