Drum & Bass | DnB Fridays
Posted by Sev on August 17, 2012
As if the original wasn’t great enough, this DnB remix by Mattix and Futile takes this track to the next level. Keeping things simple, but not boring, these guys definitely filled in all the gaps for me that were left in this track and completed the EP.
Big ups to W8 for finding this awesome DnB tune. He nailed it with this uplifting original tune from Neutralize featuring vocals from Emily Underhill.
Another uplifting tune steering away from the heavy Dnb, but not too liquid either. This awesome futuristic sounding drum and bass never gets old and always brings me to a state of euphoria.
This one changes the mood a little to a more jungle styled dnb. This reminds me of some of the older dnb that used to be produced a few years back. Nothing too fancy, but fast paced enough to get the crowd going.
Last but not list I recommend everyone pre-order this awesome dnb compilation releasing from one of Mach and I’s favorite labels, InfraRed Music. Veteran artist Wickaman has been tearing apart the dnb scene through this label lately and all of his tracks are absolutely crazy.
Drum & Bass | Deadmau5 – The Veldt (Mr FijiWiji Remix Ft. Matt Emery)
Posted by Mach on August 11, 2012
Mr FijiWiji has yet to disappoint me with his Drum & Bass productions. He always seems to know where the sweet spot is when it comes to making a great track or remix. In addition, Matt Emery’s cover of “The Veldt” vocals sounds incredible. His voice has an original but friendly tone to it, as if it had been from someone you’ve known your whole life. One of many remixes of the Deadmau5 original, but definitely one of the best.

Liquid Drum & Bass seems to release awkwardly. Sometimes I will go weeks without finding a decent Liquid track, but on days like today my thoughts are serenaded into blissful submission.

This next liquid Drum & Bass track is even more laid back than the first. The vocals on the track are strong compliments the euphoric attitude it carries. In a way it makes me sad that September is close and so is Summers end.

There is an interesting story behind this remix. Tom Budin actually debated whether or not to release this because he was not able to get the actual stems making it sound a little sloppy. Being honest, if this is a sloppy remix, Ed Sheeran has to give this guy the track stems because this is still an incredible remix. I am glad Tom ended up releasing this ‘mess.’

Just like Liquid, my hunt for decent Warehouse Drum & Bass is always cut short by wannabes that don’t seem to understand the artisitic value of the genre. Thrilla seems to understand that Warehouse is more than just heavy sounds, kicks, and snare. The composure of the track matters, this isn’t David Guetta laziness.

Kicking off DnB Friday the right way with probably the most amazing track I have heard all week. Silence Groove released this track as part of their EP “Eat Me Softly” about a week ago. The whole EP is amazing so be sure to grab it off Beatport HERE.
Oscillator Z dropped this pretty heavy drumstep remix to Linkin Park’s Burn It Down this week and it has been tearing my speakers apart all week. I love how one week he is making mellow melodic instrumentals and then before you know it he is releasing free heavy drumstep remixes. Either way his work it always top notch and this one is up there with the rest.
This track from Bionick exhibits some old school Dnb vibes which is what attracted me towards it. It had those heavy hitting drums and the grimy basslines. It was a sure download for me after the first listen.
Vocal DnB is where it is at and Rameses B nailed it on this original entitled Dreaming. Fuzing some of the techniques he uses in his melodic dubstep tunes he is able to combine the best of both worlds giving us this amazing track.

This has to be one of the coolest tracks to open up Drum & Bass Friday. A few days ago Camo & Krooked were invited to make the track of the day for Radio FM4. The duo was given 5 sound samples (Mozart, Falco, Sound of Music, Jodelling, and Cowbells), with the requirement to produce a track using all 5 samples with only 1.5 hours to do it. Below is what Camo & Krooked came up with, and it is clear the skills these two have in production. An incredible job done with the strangest assortment of samples and little time to accomplish anything.
This next track is actually from a release of Dieselboy’s back in 2004. Available for free download as of today, it is unlike anything anyone is used to hearing from Dieselboy. I actually havent heard him produce anything close to Drum & Bass in a long time, his most relative tracks being more Drumstep.
The newest release from Noisia now happens to be one of my favorites of theirs. The vocals are coarse and give off an eerie feel, once Noisia’s heavy sounds break in, chills are sent down your spine. This is an epic Drum & Bass tune.

Drum & Bass, House | Madeon – Finale
Posted by Middy on July 22, 2012
The 18 year old French phenom, Madeon has finally released his much anticipated single “Finale”. As we saw with the full length preview, this song has the potential to be a summer anthem. The song wholeheartedly embodies the spirit and sound of summer with its live for the moment vocal message, sophisticated melodies and attacking bass lines. Madeon keeps on getting better with each track and though it does not seem possible, one can only expect that his succeeding efforts will be even better.
Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electronic, Trap | Birdy Nam Nam – Jaded Future EP
Posted by Sev on July 17, 2012
The highly anticipated Birdy Nam Nam EP “Jaded Future” has finally been released on OWSLA. Containing remixes from big names such as Skrillex, Foreign Beggars, Culprate, and more; this EP surely has something for everyone to listen to. What surprised me was how many trap-style remixes this EP contained. Birdy Nam Nam have been around for quite sometime, probably most well known for their outstanding live performances, which you can watch HERE.
As far as this well rounded EP goes, it is another must have for me. All the tracks and remixes sound completely different to one another with the perfect flow from track to track. If you played the Culprate remix and compared it to the original mix of Cadillac Dreams the only thing that would indicate they are the same track is the vocals, but other than that the two tracks have no similar indications. Of course everyone was waiting for the two remixes from Skrillex, which turned out to be better than expected in my opinion. The DnB remix was top quality, as expected from Skrillex, and the trap remix also was a very interesting take on the track. I have to say though although Skrillex and Culprate’s remixes were both exhilarating, Foreign Beggars remix was my favorite easily. Their hard hitting vocals mixed with the trap style instrumental came out to be perfection, but that is just my opinion. Grab the EP on Beatport HERE.
