Electro-House | Afrojack – Fatility
Posted by Sev on March 13, 2012
Afrojack back at it again with yet another big release this week entitled Fatility. Still keeping the standards high after his previous release with Shermanology, this track brings in that same Dirty Dutch style we were so used to hearing from him in his early days. We saw little glimpses of this banger on live stream a few weeks ago and since then the fans have been dying for its release. Through the buildup we can progressively hear those signature Afrojack sounds we are so accustomed to hearing, while slowly building up to that sexy, high pitched dirty dutch drop. Ill leave you guys with some words from the wise, “If it ain’t Dutch it ain’t much.” -Middy.
BEATPORT — Afrojack – Fatility
Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro, Moombahton | OWSLA Presents FREE Treats Vol. 2
Posted by Sev on March 13, 2012
The big day has finally arrived and OWSLA’s Free Treats Vol.2 is now out. I’m going to go ahead and say personally I was dissapointed at first, while others felt the compilation was up to par. I’m not saying every track on this compilation isn’t as appealing as I thought it was going to be, but for the most part I was let down for the number of tracks that are on this release. Free music is free music though and I won’t complain about that and there are tracks on here that deserve recognition. My overall favorite on the release is without a doubt Flinch & Jamtech Foundation – Bad Boy. I have said it before and I will say it again, reggae with dubstep is a killer combination. The Moombahton representers, Munchi and Sazon Booya, definitely nailed their tracks bringing the lasers and the heavy steel drums. When I saw Koan Sound and Alvin Risk’s names on the track list I had a feeling they would not disappoint. Koan Sound definitely didn’t, but I was a little disheartened by Alvin Risk’s melodic approach on his track. After listening to it a few times though, I got over it and could appreciate the uniqueness incorporated into constructing the track and not just releasing his usual expected laser synth filled Moombah tracks, altohugh that would have been nice. The last honorable mentions goes to Plastician’s Deep Dubstep track and Bare Noize & Zardonic’s Drum and Bass track. The wait still continues for something new from Skrillex. The compilation is free so follow the Beatport link below and grab your free download.
Dubstep | Eptic — Like A Boss EP
Posted by Sev on March 12, 2012
Eptic’s new EP has finally been unleashed by Never Say Die Records. This producers upbeat, seizure styled sounds have been taking the stages by storm. FuntCase and Inspector Dubplate being avid supporters of Eptic’s tracks just goes to show you how heavy these tunes can get. Starting off with Death Ray, which is a prime example of a heavy, laser synth filled track that even throws in a few “Yo” synths hear and there. Oh Snap is a track I would say closely relates to a Brown and Gammon style track with pauses and high pitched synths. Fast Forward takes a slight different approach with a more jump-up feel, but still heavy with the bass and Like A Boss which was given away last week needs no further introduction. Get the EP on Beatport HERE. Just as a little gift since we didn’t get to post DarkElixir’s free EP, READ ON to get my favorite track from the EP.
Progressive House | Pixel Cheese – Elva (Original Mix)
Posted by Sev on March 12, 2012
Pixel Cheese is a producer out of Poland, who in the past was most well known for his bootlegs of unreleased house tracks. After gaining so much attention from those intriguing bootlegs of NERVO and Avicii he was signed to Ultra Records, where he just released his first track titled Elva. Surprisingly, this is one hell of a progressive house master work that starts off with some great snares into a dreamlike melody. Accompanied after by a pleasant Avicii style build up and progression into a thumping bassline and big room approached drop. Pixel Cheese certainly showing promise of bigger things to come and well deserved at that. The Beatport link is provided in the Soundcloud player below.To make sure you guys dont leave empty handed, Middy sent me this one of a kind bootleg that I felt was a refreshing interpretation to Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso’s instrumental house anthem Calling. With the nice incoorporation of the vocals from Dubvision’s latest progressive track All By Myself, this bootleg brings the best of both worlds. Read on and take a listen to this well worked bootleg by Sean Johnson.

Moombahton | Bro Safari – Bros Gone Wild EP
Posted by Sev on March 8, 2012
One of the top artist in Moombahton, Bro Safari, has released his newest EP “Bros Gone Wild”. From the eye catching artwork to his unique interpretation on Moombahon, this EP is a definite must have. The EP pushes the bounds of a new style of music, because what you thought was Moombahton before you heard this EP will make you reconsider. I can’t say that I have a favorite on this EP because they are all equally diverse and appealing, but if I had to choose it would be Avalon (feat. LeDoom). The track starts off nice and smooth with a latin feeling drum and sliced vocals that slowly progresses into a ruff sounding synth Moombahton drop with a dope bounce feel to the track. This EP isn’t what you are used to hearing, but it is definitely worth the listen. Grab it on Beatport HERE.
As an added bonus this dope remix he did for Treasure Fingers was given away for Free on the same day his EP released. Grab the download in the Soundcloud description.

Dubstep | R Rated #19
Posted by Sev on March 7, 2012
Xilent finally unleashes all hell with his lastest and baddest remix to Sub Focus’s single Out The Blue. I was not expecting Xilent to pull a 180 and stray away from his more melodic Gemini-esque style, but this remix is just nuts on so many levels. Just in time for the festival season too, this one is going to crush everyone and everything in its path. Although this week was a little quieter than the past few weeks as far as releases, next week is going to be another big week. The biggest release of them being Camo & Krooked’s “Between The Lines EP”. Ya OWSLA has their compilation releasing next week as well, but if you have been listening to the previews from this EP you will know what im talking about. The heaviest of the heaviest DnB, Drumstep, and Dubstep is featured on the EP and just to prove it here are my top two favorites by far and R Rated approved.
First we have a free tune from up and coming Never Say Die Records star Eptic. As of late there has been a lot of hype circulating his tracks and rightfully so. Creating some monster tunes and remixes that have been rinsed out in sets by all the big names. This track has more of a Brown and Gammon feel to it with the upbeat and glich sounding combination.

Figure has been on the loose lately releasing some heavy tunes. His latest drumstep remix on Borgores EP was ridiculous. He is currently working on an album set to release in late spring early summer and to spread the word he gave away this unique track . It some style of destructo/doom music.

Bassnectar just gave away his latest track entitled Ugly from his upcoming album , and it looks like Notixx just could not wait to remix the track. Within a day he was able to produce a remix equally as impressive as Bassnectar’s original.

Last we have heavy, bass driven tune by Exilica. The track starts off with a nice piano melody and some vocals, then before you known it you get hit with a full out bass flex.
