We discussed Timeflies tuesdays, The Scotch Tape success, their music style and more. I’d like to thank EXP Promotions and Freshletes for putting this on as well as Timeflies for taking the time out for the interview! The video was shot and edited by Jon Murakami.
Dubstep | R Rated #18
Posted by Mach on February 29, 2012
I really enjoyed this weeks picks for R Rated. Sev and I really want people to understand that we can post the wobbly, wompy dubstep any day of the week, but there is only one day that truly deserves the filth that we provide you on Wednesdays. Enjoy.
Why not start off with a bang? The first on the list for R this week is actually a 2 track free EP from Terrabad. Both tracks are dirty as hell, and no one track deserved to be up here more than the other.
TERRABAD – FREE IS BETTER EP by TERRABAD
This track may come as a bit of a confusion to most of you, it does in fact start out as drum & bass. I am telling you though once it drops you will accept the drumstepish quality of this filthy track.

Popeska has truly come out of no where and has really made a name for himself. This remix of his starts out with a complextro vibe to it, and damn does it sound sick.
Big L – Flamboyant (Popeska Remix) by Popeska
I have no idea who these two are, but after falling upon this track, I really want to get to know them. The vocals add a little emotion to the VIP, then that anger fulled drop really takes off with the rest of the track.
Nightmare & NICMOR – We’re Really Flying (Drumstep VIP) by Nightmare & NICMOR
Mathy literally just showed up in the chatbox and dropped this beast in front of my eyes. I thought “Oh, my new haircut, this is going to be lame as f**k.” I am so happy I took a chance to listen to this, because this track is epic. Makes me want to run dual wielding through a maternity ward leaving no survivors.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Moombahton | Noisia – Split the Atom (Special Edition)
Posted by Sev on February 29, 2012
I don’t know where to even begin with Noisia’s latest massive album release. This is easily one of the biggest releases of the year by far with remixes from many of the big names across EDM. I had to take a few days to listen to each track multiple times to actually realize the quality of each and every remix. Starting from Kito’s highly anticipated Split The Atom remix which is amazing in so many aspects. To Kill The Noise’s vicious DnB remix of Diplodocus which even caught Deadmau5 off guard. This track got 80,000+ plays in 12 hours; that is extraordinary. One remix that I think isn’t receiving the respect is should is, Munchi’s Tommy’s Theme remix. Munchi takes this well orchestrated track from Noisia, and almost creates a new genre of music through this one remix. In a recent interview I saw Munchi talking about how he has been tampering with a new genre entitled Skull-step, but wasn’t ready to actually make a track in the genre yet. Well I would have to say if there was any track on this album that came close to sounding evil or skull like, it would have to be this one. How can anyone forget 16 bit’s remix that has been on everyones waiting list for over a year now. I don’t want to go through all the remixes and talk about how amazing and unique they are because that would take me all day. I recommend everyone listen through each track, because I am almost certain there is something in there to appeal to everyone.
The Album is on pages 3 and 4.

Dubstep, Videos | Kaskade – Room for Happiness ft. Skylar Grey (Feature Cuts Remix) [Music Video]
Posted by Jess on February 29, 2012
Feature Cuts is an up and coming Electronic artist from Texas who is already light years away from many of his peers. His latest remix of Kaskade’s “Room for Happiness” is super heavy with a drop that may just blow your speakers. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Check out what Feature Cuts had to say about the remix below.
“From the intro that contains deep lyrics to be interpreted as one chooses. To the drop that is intended to create immense feeling and evoke energy from within. I hope the listener will hear a story and find a happiness that is as unique as they are.” – Feature Cuts
Be sure to become a fan of Feature Cuts on Facebook and to check out more of his remixes below.
Progressive House | Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso feat. Ryan Tedder – Calling (Lose My Mind)
Posted by Middy on February 29, 2012
The much anticipated vocal mix of the summer anthem “Calling” from the Swedish super stars Alesso and Sebastian Ingrosso has finally arrived. With vocals from One Republic’s Ryan Tedder, the song is taken to a whole new level of euphoria and makes this track that was seemingly perfect even better. Alesso & Seb have been playing this out for a little while now and since its radio play on Swedish House Mafia’s second takeover of BBC Radio One, the anticipation built to a fever pitch, but now with its release we can enjoy this gem and add yet another release to both of these producers great careers. This is only the start for these two this year with Alesso making me look smart at the beginning of the year previewing his massive single “Years“, as well as his collaboration with Steve Angello and Seb “Eclipse“. As always Seb has his work with SHM, and their upcoming single “Greyhound“, the aforementioned collaboration with Steve Angello & Alesso and as Refune label owner he will always remain in the spotlight. It is not available for purchase in US right now, but will be soon!

Hip-Hop, Reggae | Collie Buddz – I’m Paid
Posted by Mach on February 29, 2012
Collie Buddz just happens to be one of BIGLIFE’s and my own favorite. One of the qualities Collie Buddz has is the fact that he releases most of his music for free, now why is that such an issue for all other artists? Anyways, one of the most stand out things about Collie Buddz is how original his lyrics and voice sounds on every track. No one track is the same as another, or even mimics something from another artist. This new release has a bit of a hip-hop twist to it, but Collie continues his reggae, island vibes that everyone falls in love with.

DJ-Set, Electro, Mashups, Mixtapes | DOSVEC – Quattro
Posted by Mach on February 29, 2012
In honor of his father who died 6 months ago today, DOSVEC delivers us his newest masterpiece of a mixtape. Going strictly with electro/dance styled mashups at 128 bpm, DOSVEC out did himself on this mixtape. The set itself is great for any occasion, whether it’s a party or a dance floor. I love the wide array of vocals packed into these mashes, showcasing many different decades of catchy tracks. After giving this mixtape a full listen, I wish it wouldn’t be an embarrassment for me to bust out in this library.
