Dubstep, Review | Reso – Tangram Remixed (Ft. Koan Sound, Billain, Om Unit, & Doshy)
Posted by Mach on March 12, 2013
One of the best remix compilations these artists will ever be a part of. Reso really knew who he wanted to do remixes, and his choices are a great success. Each remix is great on their own. KOAN Sound came in a little differently than they have been, but provided enough glitchy bass to feed a starving country… if people were to be able to ingest bass. Billain dropped a filthy Neuro-hop remix followed by an incredible melodic remix from Om Unit. Though I had made my comments on my favorites previously, the full remix of Doshy’s turned out to be more interesting than imagined. 4 great remixes, it doesn’t get better than that.

Dubstep, House | Funky Friday #3
Posted by Mach on March 8, 2013
Funky Friday is back again with some fresh grooves to get your Friday night going. Kicking off this weeks post is an awesome mix from funks future self, Aeroplane. Aeroplane has been one of the most consistant Disco-House producers for some time now. Thsi March mix is great, it isn’t too jam packed with tracks that it can’t be enjoyed, but enough to keep the party moving. A sweet download if you are looking to get moving a bit this weekend.
I have even surprised myself with all the mixes that have been involved in Funky Friday. The Knocks have come a long way since being openers for Chiddy Bang. Having been able to catch them live once myself, they tend to sneak in a little bit of the funk. Considering that they usually follow the masses, it is really cool to hear them let loose a little bit more on this mix.
This next track is technically Dubstep, but I could not get over the 80s Miami chord progression on this track. Dr. Ozi really did an awesome job on this original.
Dubstep | NIN – Me, I’m Not (DarkElixir Remix)
Posted by Mach on March 7, 2013
When I saw that DarkElixir had done this remix, I was expecting it to sound more like Drumstep. My mind was blown once I caught a glimpse of this slow dark masterpiece. This may not be your usual hang banging Dubstep, but this remix is an insanely cool take on NIN (Nine Inch Nails).

Dubstep | R Rated #65
Posted by Sev on March 7, 2013
First up on R-rated this week is a heavy remix the fans have been waiting for from Getter. After coming through with a great EP release he decided it was time to release this remix of 50 Carrots – Wiz Kid. The track starts off with a chiptune vibe and some Wiz Khalifa vocal samples slowly working its way into Getter’s riddim-esque drop.
Mantis just released a monstrous EP on Play Me Records, and thought why not give away a free VIP while we are at it. So they took one of their older tracks and revamped it to a more heavy hitting beast than it already was. Everyone loves a good free VIP download after an EP release, am I right?
We might have posted this track from Rekoil a while back when he first released, but he decided that the mastering and mixing just wasn’t close to the level he wanted. So he went through and revamped the whole thing also adding a few new things here and there.
Last, but not least is a banger from the one and only, Figure. When have you known Figure to let you down and not come through with a beastly track. This one is a heavy one over some Aesop vocals which add a nice twist to the usual doom styled tracks Figure releases.
Dubstep | DETZKY – I LIKE CEREAL
Posted by Mach on March 5, 2013
I was really excited to see that Detzky gave this track away. The bass-line is sweet, but what really gets me is all the Cartoon Network samples he used. The second drop involves a long sample of “Him,” the uber villain from the Powerpuff Girls, and has a more abstract take on the first drop. All around, this is a really fun track to listen to. Brings me back to the days of “Dexter’s Lab,” “Samurai Jack,” and all those other Cartoon Network greats we were addicted to as kids.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electronic | Koven – More Than You EP
Posted by Sev on March 3, 2013
Koven, formerly known as Coven, have just released their newest EP, which consists of one of the greatest releases of the year by far. After my first listen to the release I knew that this EP needed to be more than just a post about the release. So with a little bit of help we were able to ask the duo some questions about music and how it all started, which you can find by reading on below. Besides the two originals on the EP from Koven are two remixes; one from DC Breaks and the other from Roughmath, which are both amazing in their own manner. The title track, More Than You, is the perfect blend of emotion and heaviness into one power packed song. It isn’t an easy task to create such an emotional piece by an artist and also be able to incorporate their flavor of grime as well, but this duo showed us exactly how it needs to be done. Their second track No Blocks seems to be more along the lines of the neuro/glitchy style of dubstep that artist such as Koan Sound, or Reso create so often. Either way this EP contains some great tracks from all sides of the spectrum and is a must have. Don’t forget to click ‘Read On’ to check out our interview with Koven, and also a big thank you to Viper Recordings for helping make that happen.
