If you’re looking to take the fast track to fame, I recommend remixing “Call Me Maybe” 2 months ago. Wisconsin artist Nick Leubke did just that and has since accumulated over 330,000 hits on Youtube. Surprisingly, that’s not what caught my ear. I was introduced to this kid today and can’t deny his musical charisma. His sound is authentic and his voice is pretty decent. He picks up a feature from fellow Wisconsin MC, TO, while production comes from TO’s right hand man, Too Shade.

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.
