Dubstep | Adventure Club – Wait
Posted by Sev on May 29, 2012
Adventure Club has done it again. Supplying us with another one of their melodic dubstep masterpieces entitled “Wait”. It’s tough to deny this duo’s talent, and this track has summer written all over it. The vocals go hand in hand with the amazing, smooth basslines that has made these guys so highly known. The track almost switches back and forth from electro to dubstep, which brings a whole new level of energy and excitement. I can’t wait for these guys to release an EP.
Dubstep | Killsonik — Bloodlust EP
Posted by Sev on May 28, 2012
When was the last time you came across a track that was classified as “Horrorstep”? One of the tracks from Killsonik’s new EP “Bloodlust” is just that. If you haven’t encountered the video, you can check it out HERE. I can’t tell you how happy I was when they announced the release of this EP. Before that time Killsonik only had one track which was a remix to Nero’s Crush On You. Then a few weeks ago we saw a remix of Chase and Status’s Flashing Lights, that appeared out of nowhere. The two tracks on this EP are both at completely different styles from one another, which is why it makes the EP so appealing. Girly, being a UK Garage/Grime/Deep Dubstep fusion styled track that has some monstrous synths and sounds incorporated into a funky-evil track. Yes, that is a lot of styles meshed into one track. With Bloodlust, you have a powerful bass-driven, LOUD, dubstep track. This track almost has two drops built into one another. The first being a subtle, yet somewhat heavy drop, then after a slight calming of the track, they bring it back with an ear-piercing drop to melt you ears shut. Being a witness of this being played live; I can tell you that it leaves crowds in a state of shock. Grab this EP on Beatport HERE.
Electro-House, Progressive House | Nicky Romero & ZROQ – WTF!?
Posted by Sev on May 28, 2012
Nicky Romero is back at it again, but this time with a little help from ZROQ, releasing their new single WTF!? The wait from UMF nearly killed me. Watching the stream of Nicky dropping this track just sent me over the top as well as with the crowd. He has yet to disappoint me with his releases, and the fact that he brings his own hard hitting electro style to house music makes me favor him even more because he strives to put himself on a different level from his colleagues. Providing us with an amazing Nicky Romero intro we love so much, that slowly builds its way to an over-the-top, electro styled drop that leaves you in a state of “WTF!?”. Nicky Romero will be a force to be reckoned with this year, and this is only a taste of what is to come. You can grab this track on Beatport HERE.
Progressive House | AN21 & Max Vangeli vs. Steve Angello – H8RS
Posted by Sev on May 28, 2012
Three outstanding House producers known for their technique and dexterity featured all on one track? Count me in. An21, Max Vangeli, and Steve Angello have produced their rendering of this summers anthem known as, H8RS. Through the introduction we are lured in to believe a “Calling (Lose My Mind)” style track is in the making, but as soon as we reach the drop it becomes evident this is a “Greyhound” style track. All three producers mastered a bass thumping track, that is sure to get any crowd dancing their night away. You can bet this track is going to be played at every festival this summer, so grab this track on Beatport HERE.
Dubstep, Moombahton | D!RTY AUD!O – Diamond Swagga
Posted by Sev on May 28, 2012
These past few days have felt like a musical Christmas. It has just been monster release, after monster release, after monster release. We are still trying to cut through all this music, but it has been hard with so many good tracks to distract you through the process. Being a big fan of both of these artist and avid supporters of them, D!RTY AUD!O is slowly making himself more known to the EDM scene. Getting a big release through Heavy Artillery records accompanied by a remix from Phrenik as well, what more could you want from an EP? This original Moombahton track brings a new “Swagga” to the genre if I may say. This popping laser sounding synth that D!RTY AUD!O likes to incorporate, makes it difficult not to enjoy this track. Not to mention, Phrenik bringing a heavy hitting dubstep remix that is sure to punch a hole through your face (metiphorically speaking). The best part is both artist change up their seconds drops making the tracks even more interesting to listen to. Grab both of these tracks on Beatport HERE
Dubstep | Never Say Die: Compilation Album
Posted by Sev on May 27, 2012
The monster compilation, known as the Never Say Die Album, has finally been unleashed onto Beatport. The best of the top stars from the N.S.D. team, plus others outside the label, are featured on this heavy hitting album. Some of the most anticipated tracks of the year are featured on this outstanding compilation. The continuous mix provided by Skism, just goes to show how much flow each of the tracks has in connection with one another. The label does such a great job of keeping their sound unique to their own style, and it can definitely be seen through this album and mix.
I wish I could go through and explain the uniqueness and talent behind each track on this album, but I would have to compile it in a 40 page paper which doesn’t sound too enticing during summer time (or any other time for that matter). With that being said, I will give you my top three favorite tracks on this album. Without a doubt the best track on this album for me is “Skism – Like This (feat Virus Syndicate)”. An incredible track all around from one of the most talented producers in dubstep when it comes to creating unique and crisp sounds that are sure to send any crowd going mental. It is no wonder the Never Say Die operation is doing so well with Skism at the top, making sure nothing but the best possible productions are coming out of the camp. Track number two is “501 – Chasing Stars”. The synths that 501 creates in his tracks are second to none when it comes to individuality. Just bouncing back from a great release of his EP ,Headrush/Falling Skies, he brings some heavy hitting sounds in this track that are sure to pack a punch on any set. Track number three is “Dodge & Fuski – Round One”. I must say this duo has been fabricating some of the best/catchiest melodies in dubstep lately. The popping laser synth sound on the drop sealed the deal for me on this track the first time through. I know many of you are probably thinking what about Zomboy’s remix of “Still Gettin It”, but I hate to say that the prolonging of the release on this one killed the glory of this track for me. Being surfaced almost 11 months ago, the edits and hype around the track had everyone on the edge of their seats waiting for the release and with no release in site, there was no choice but to enjoy those edits. I am happy it finally has released and it is still an amazing remix from a top notch producer, so don’t let that discourage anyone from listening to it or any of the other tracks on this amazing album. You can grab this album on Beatport along with the continous mix provided by the great Skism HERE.
Dubstep, Reggae | Cypress Hill x Rusko – Can’t Keep Me Down (feat. Damian Marley)
Posted by Sev on May 25, 2012
With the release of Cypress X Rusko around the corner, June 4th, it was only right for them to release a single off their EP. What better release than with one of the don’s of current reggae music, Damian Marley. Rusko takes the fusion of dubstep and reggae from a completly different perspective than what Skrillex showed us through Make It Bun Dem. This track influences the reggae aspect a little more than with Skrillex and Damian’s collaboration and also brings those heavy basslines under the vocals we have seen from Rusko through some of his most highly known releases. I’m glad Rusko didn’t want to go all out with the drop on this track, even though we all know he could have, because that would have killed the vibe. This release got me pretty excited to see him tonight in Austin, Texas and you can bet there will be a follow up post after the show so stay tuned here to see clips from his set. You can grab this Cypress X Rusko single featuring Damian Marley on iTunes HERE.
