Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Fraturday
Posted by Mach on July 14, 2012
The weekly Drum & Bass post has seemed to be either on Fridays or Saturdays, mainly dependent on how satisfied we are with the Drum & Bass selection or how busy our Fridays tend to be. After drafting the post last night, I knew I had some great tracks for this post but was still disappointed in how much it actually contained. I am still not entirely satisfied, but some of these tracks can’t wait any longer.
First track is an awesome Reggae Hop styled Drum & Bass track from Jinx. With a little bit of Dub vibes as most Reggae has, this track is insanely catchy and addicting. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have already listened to it.

This next one is definitely the rare Drum & Bass funky party tune. Sampling some of the 90s babies favorite jams including beat sampling from Austin Power’s theme track and other Pop Culture references. A fun track to listen to or party to.

Although this is only a clip with no official release date, Mitis has been on roll lately. He has been dipping his toes in almost every electronic genre and taking names in the process. The Drum & Bass/Drumstep original of his is nuts, Mitis wastes no time in blowing your mind.
Drum & Bass, House, Trance | Andain – Turn Up The Sound (Remixes Part 2)
Posted by Middy on July 11, 2012
Andain – Turn Up The Sound is a song that lends itself to be remixed with a smooth melody that can be easily manipulated and beautiful vocals from Andain. American Trance legends, Gabriel & Dresden, put together a euphoric trance remix with a quick piercing bass line and an uplifting melody will make you want to just close your eyes and float away. For me I like it better than the Tydi remix, but it is very close. French producer / DJ Tristan Garner adds his flavor to the mix keeping the vocals, while adding a hard chopped electro drop that will satisfy those looking for something heavier. Zetandel gives us a very smooth, relaxed remix hence the “Chillout Remix” with reverbed key play and a subtle bass line. Stratus goes all the way with a drumstep remix of the track with some crunchy synths layers with pitched synths.
Drum & Bass | Rusko – Thunder (Tantrum Desire Remix)
Posted by Mach on July 10, 2012
“Thunder” was undoubtedly Rusko’s best track off his new album, and possibly one of the best he has ever created….in my opinion of course. To have a remix of such a great track is a complete waste (for examples please visit Beatport’s contest page for ‘Zedd – Spectrum Remixes’). However, I will give Tantrum Desire huge credit for maintaining that perfect storm in “Thunder” while delivering the Drum & Bass blow. A Drum & Bass VIP from Rusko would have sufficed, but considering how good this remix is, I wont worry too much about it.
Drum & Bass | DnB….Sundays?
Posted by Sev on July 9, 2012
Sorry for another delay in the DnB post this week, but you know what summer does to you. What is this, a release from Skrillex? Say it isn’t so. Let the haters hate, but you can’t deny the talent and ingenuity. Releasing Birdy Nam Nam’s EP on July 17th through OWLSA, rumor has it that this heavy DnB remix will be accompanied by Skrillex’s trapt out remix as well. The second drop on this remix is disgusting to say the least.
Top producers Loadstar have just released their EP Passenger / Bomber including a dubstep remix to Passenger by Culprate. I have been waiting for this release for some time now. In Passenger , we see some more aggresive synths used, compared to in Bomber. Also Passenger is leaning more towards a drumstep style track as well. Both tracks are outstanding in their unique styles.
Who doesn’t love a good VIP remix to a track? Mach was quick on catching this VIP when it went up on Soundcloud. TC revamping his well known track Bass By The Tonne and dosing up the DnB on this one. Still keeping the main part of the originals is what lured me into liking it so much.
Dieselboy continuing his giveaway of DnB tracks this week with one from a few years back. It is a remix provided by Gridlock, but as long as it is good and hasn’t been heard by too many people who cares how long ago it was released. Nice weekend vibes from this track.
To cap it all off we have a nice smooth liquid drum and bass track from Cray and nExow. Those graceful instruments combined with the quick pace of DnB always provide the best state of euphoria.
Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Friday
Posted by Mach on June 29, 2012
UKF is known for having not the best in Drum & Bass, but I have to say this remix from Friction sounds awesome. It has great chilled out vibes, with some heavy bass thrown in but more to compliment the track not over power the vocals, kicks, and snare. Just an awesome dance/lounge Drum & Bass tune. It releases September 17th this year.
This next track is the gem of this weeks Drum & Bass Friday. Ragga Jungle, this heavy vocalized tune is perfect. The context of the track is a little sad, but still a work of art. This is the first release off the Curfew Love Riddim.

Wow, this is an incredible Drum & Bass remix of BT. I was shocked when I found out how little people have heard of BT or have even heard any of his work. His original works are great, but his tracks are some of the best to remix.

This track reminds me a bit of Haywyre, due to the use of the Razor style. It a cool sound for sure and now getting to here it in a Drum & Bass setting, I now see many more great uses to the Razor style. Cool and Creative track from Fryonic.

I have never heard a Grimy Drum & Bass tune like this before. It almost sounds as if this is a blend of Garage, Grime, and Drum & Bass. Not sure how other will feel about this track, but I am definitely feeling this new blending.

This is a heavy factory Drum & Bass tune. Listening to it make me think of old Russian warehouses being broken into and holding massive raves. With support of Dieselboy, The Upbeats destroyed this MSTRKRFT track. Big tune.
Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Friday
Posted by Sev on June 23, 2012
Thanks to Technique Recordings, I was given the privilege to listen to this EP for almost two weeks now, and I just can not get enough of it. L Plus has put together a masterwork EP that is going to release in two days. Seriously, there are no disappointing tracks on this EP. Even the music video is unique and “Amazing” in itself, just like the Amazing EP. I recommend not sleeping on this one at all if you are a DnB fan. Since it is a Friday night and I am a little late on this post, I am sure you guys are just waiting for the tunes instead of my elegant and appealing descriptions. Given the circumstances I will just let you guys enjoy the tracks and critique them yourselves in the chat box. You guys won’t be so lucky next time though. Enjoy!
Drum & Bass, Dubstep | Fytch, Captain Crunch & Carmen Forbes – Raindrops (Remixes)
Posted by Sev on June 19, 2012
Strictly Rhythm delivering an amazing remix EP of Fytch, Captain Crunch, and Carmen Forbes single, “Raindrops”. After previewing and hearing Flinch’s remix last week I had a feeling there would some other good remixes on this EP as well. Also featured on the EP are DC Breaks and Dead Audio. Both providing their unique style’s incorporated into the already heavy hitting original. I hate EP’s where all the track’s are equally great, because then I never know which one I want to listen to before I get tired of the track. Luckily you have three great remixes to choose from as well as the original. I have to say though, Flinch clenched the top spot for me with his crushing drop. Grab the EP on Beatport HERE.
