Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Friday
Posted by Mach on May 4, 2012
The last two Drum & Bass Friday posts may have been on Saturday, but I am really excited about doing this Drum & Bass post this Friday. This first track is a preview of Fred V & Grafix’s upcoming remix of ‘Feel The Love,’ and it is absolutely breath taking. The duo has been burning up Drum & Bass as of late, remixes like this I am hoping will reflect originals they will drop in the future. This remix drops May 28th, I will make sure we post it up that day to keep everyone on top of things.
Last track you can’t download in this post, I promise the rest is free. InsideInfo has been producing Drum & Bass jams for quite some time now. This most recent preview of his really caught my eye. It is set for release on his upcoming EP, ‘Grow,’ and once the Didgeridoo effects break in you are sold. Very cool and creative, a must have when it drops May 28th.
Taking a stand for women of the industry, AivaSound produced and sang on this beautiful original of her’s. I love the bass in the beginning that sounds and feels like a beating heart. The rest of the track stays completely true to the name, it is a great ‘Melody.’
This next track is a contribution from my boy W8 (pronounced ‘wait’). This is an awesome Liquid Drum & Bass track. Pretty Lights had already created an incredible tune when he made this original. The Drum & Bass just feels like a little extra something for the fans.
SizzleBird…haha it is a funny name, but this track is no joke. This is a sick original work, I love finding the no name people. You know when they post something their heart, soul, and life were put into it. Some people don’t have it in them to make art, but SizzleBird did just that.
This last track is a very smooth instrumental. The piano composition sounds great with the Drum & Bass beat that it is built off of. I do not know much about the artist, but another nobody I look forward to a future of music from.
Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro-House | Sub Focus (feat. Alice Gold) – Out The Blue (Remixes)
Posted by Spice on April 30, 2012
The full remix package for Sub Focus’s incredibly catchy DnB banger “Out The Blue” dropped today, bringing us three markedly different (but independently awesome) takes on the track. My favorite of the bunch is definitely Xilent’s positively liquid dubstep reboot, which dials down the frenetic DnB pace, chops Alice Gold’s vocals, and layers in some seriously heavy wobbles. Laidback Luke, as always, brings the high level of production and hard electro-house flavor he is known for (if that pounding four-on-the-floor break after the drop doesn’t get your head knocking, nothing will). The dark horse here is XXXY, who offers up a throwbacky house interpretation undergirded by a La Bouche-esque drumkit…which in all honesty I’m totally digging. It kind of sounds like something that would be playing at Vidal Sassoon in 1995 and is generally making me want to revisit this glorious nostalgia trip. Check out all three below and snag the original mix if you missed it the first time around.
Drum & Bass | Collie Buddz Vs Drifta – Love Deh
Posted by Mach on April 29, 2012
After being drained of all my energy from this weekend, this track is fueling me back up to power through these last few weeks of school. Besides Collie Buddz being my favorite artist, this is the third Drum & Bass track from Drifta that I have fallen in love with. Drifta keeps the beat basic, but perfectly matched with the raise of speed in vocals.
Albums, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro-House, Progressive House | Seven Lions — Polarize EP
Posted by Sev on April 25, 2012
Has anyone heard a dissapointing Seven Lions track yet, because I haven’t. This EP has been on repeat for the past day few days since its release and I know Mach is on the same boat. What a great combination of genre’s in one EP and variation of sounds that just keep the listener coming back for more. I can’t get enough of Below Us and also the Dnb Remix by Smooth. Every track on this EP is truley unique and astonishing in its own way. I could go on all day talking about how amazing this tracks are, but I would rather let you guys enjoy them yourselves. You can grab a free track off the EP given away by Viper Recordings by clicking Read On. Grab this EP on Beatport HERE.
Drum & Bass, Electro-House, Indie, Review | The M Machine – Metropolis Pt. 1
Posted by Mach on April 24, 2012
Wow! This is The M Machine’s second great release in row off of OWSLA. I really enjoy the strength of the Indie on this release. Most of the tracks are Indie Dance and Electro-House/Indie, with of course the one Drum & Bass gem they seemed to have snuck on. ‘Immigrants’ is quite the track to kick off ‘Metropolis,’ it even has that vibe as if you are going through a city. I would love to see some visuals done up for this track because it is just an awesome banger. Another hot and heavy track is ‘Black,’ you could rip up a dance floor with this track.
‘Deep Search’ is a pretty cool Indie Dance track, I like how just seconds into the track it busts into the beat. ‘Faces’ and ‘A King Alone’ swing much closer to the Indie side, but are incredible tracks to chill out to. The last track on ‘Metropolis’ I believe to be a follow up on their previously released, ‘Promise Me A Rose Garden.’ Instead of dubstep though, ‘Shadow in the Rose Garden’ is an incredible Drum & Bass jam. I just wish it was longer than 3 minutes. ‘Metropolis’ as a whole is a great listen, work of art from The M Machine.
Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Fri…Saturday
Posted by Mach on April 21, 2012
Drum & Bass is a little late, but for a good reason. The post I had lined up was all liquid Drum & Bass, and in my opinion this post should have some variety to it. Out the blue, not Sub Focus but Netsky dropped a sick new track preview (see what I did there). It is everything you would hope Netsky would release. ‘Come Alive’ is set to drop May 21st, which includes remixes from Culture Shock, Rockwell, and Submerse. Another preview, but not as official is from Protohype. Not named yet, the track is as awesomely heavy as something Noisia would be famous for. That is literally all the information that exists on this soon to be giant track.
For the first downloadable track, I thought to use something epic, but not epic as in what you would expect. See, this gorgeous liquid Drum & Bass track is almost 9 minutes long. Can you handle it?
