Dubstep | Mako – Beam ft. Angel Taylor (Skrux Remix)
Posted by BP on September 8, 2013
Skrux is quickly becoming a staple producer in my dubstep collection. Skrux’s lovestep style remix of Mako’s “Beam ft. Angel Taylor” is gorgeous as usual. It’s smooth, classy, and really showcases Angel Taylor’s vocals. It’s quite moving and rises and falls with grace. Dubstep has been slow lately, but Skrux is staying consistent with fire new releases. He’s giving this one out for free!

Posted by BP on August 29, 2013
Everybody loves a familiar song mixed with some excellent production and growling bass, right? Wick-it’s dubstep remix of “Holy Grail” by Jay-Z feat. Justin Timberlake still keeps the unique pacing and rhythm of the original, while spicing it up with more bass and and haunting piano notes. The drops hit super hard and it’s hard not to love the smooth intro as well. This one’s free to download!
Dubstep | Lana Del Rey – Young & Beautiful (PatrickReza Remix)
Posted by BP on August 28, 2013
PatrickReza is back at it again with this remix of “Young & Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey. He sticks to his classic melodic style with this track, and it is impressive as usual. Lana’s songs are always a pleasure, so add some bass and it’s perfect. As the synth filled melody rises and falls over bass filled hills it’s hard not to love it. Its out for free because “sharing is caring”, says PatrickReza.

Albums, Dubstep | Protohype – Fly Remixes
Posted by BP on August 27, 2013
Protohypes’s Fly Remixes EP is incredible. Each remix is hard hitting, but still unique. All the remixes maintain the beautiful vocals by Alina Renae, and lots include the deep growls you’re looking for in a heavy dubstep track. Protohype’s original song “Fly” is great to begin with, and each of the artists did it justice. My personal favorite is Isqa’s remix. Until it comes out on September 3rd, we can listen to it here!

Dubstep, Electro, Trance | Seven Lions with Myon & Shane 54 Ft. Tove Lo – Strangers
Posted by J-Tiffy on August 25, 2013
Seven Lions fans, rejoice! My eyes light up whenever I see Seven Lions’ name, and if you’re like me, you’ll be itching to dig into this tune if you haven’t already. He tackles this project with vocalist Tove Lo and house/trance production duo Myon and Shane 54. The song is part of the original motion picture soundtrack for Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. It is an immensely ambitious track, even for a revolutionary artist like Seven Lions. Not only does it combine his signature cocktail of trance and dubstep, but we can hear a lot of house elements in the mix and, more interestingly, a heavy reliance on a gnarly minimal electro drop.
Dubstep, Electronic, Trance | Andrew Bayer – Need Your Love / England / Detuned
Posted by Middy on August 21, 2013
One of the most musical and compositionally gifted producers in dance music now, Andrew Bayer has served up a three track EP for your ear drums and they are delighted. “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave“, remains my favorite album this year and one of the most popular selections “Need Your Love”, got a club mix to translate its beauty to the club setting, which it did without losing any of the original elegance. “England” was the gem of “Anjunabeats Volume 10“, and now we have the full copy in all of its glory. First premiered at TATW 450 in Bangalore, “Detuned” is a glitchy, dubstep track that shows departure from what we normally get from Bayer, but still remains true to his sound.
Dubstep | Tiesto – Take Me (Mr FijiWiji Remix)
Posted by BP on August 17, 2013
Mr FijiWiji never disappoints. His remix of Tiesto’s “Take Me” is an entry in Tiesto’s remix contest on Beatport. The winner gets his/her remix officially released on Tiesto’s Musical Freedom label and a few other prizes. So far, this version stands out against the others because Mr FijiWiji changed the whole vibe of the song. It’s ambient and soothing. The percussion is so intricate and the piano dabbled in is just gorgeous. Official voting starts September 10th, but you can stream the song and comment on Beatport already.
