SXSW is a film, music, and interactive festival that takes over the city of Austin for 10 outrageous straight days. The music festival is comprised of official and unofficial (usually free) shows, rooftop parties, party boats and buses and no to mention the most interesting collection of people you will ever see.

Allow us to give you a little taste of what went down last year…

Stayed tuned for Sev and Mimada’s Complete What-To-Do and How-To-Do-It guide after the break.

Dubstep, Preview | Alvin Risk – SKYCLAD

Posted by on February 25, 2013

Alvin Risk - SkycladIt is about time Alvin Risk had a good release. I am so sick of hearing sick new tracks in his live sets and then when he makes a release it’s one of the worst things I have ever heard. Sadly the official preview leaves out the most important part of the track that helps a person decide if they like it or not, the drop. Don’t be sad for long because I happened to find a little clip ripped from a mix that plays out what we want to hear. It is because of this that I have finally come to the conclusion that Alvin Risk still has it, he just needs to start making more releases to prove it. “Skyclad” releases March 5th on OWSLA.

House, Videos | Zedd performs “Clarity” live on the David Letterman Show

Posted by on January 4, 2013

A spot usually reserved for anyone but a Dj, Zedd made his US network television debut last night on the David Letterman show, performing “Clarity” live. Zedd displayed his talents on the piano, showing us his versatility as a musician, Foxes gives a B effort on vocals, some live great strings and most importantly Alvin Risk on backup vocals killing it in that scarf that Letterman wanted at the end. This just shows the power of having a major label (Interscope) behind you and the doors they can open for any artist.

DO SOMETHING

Dubstep | R Rated #51

Posted by on October 18, 2012

Boom! Counterstrike just dropped this insane preview of one of their upcoming tracks off their “Fire” EP, dropping November 5th. The EP has quite a few awesome collaborations including one with the Black Sun Empire. This preview, though short, is epic, can’t wait for the EPs release.

KDrew does it again. The intro is awesome and just made me highly anticipatory for the drop. Completely exceeded my expectations.

RoughMath (previously Noir) is one of my favorite up and coming Dubstep producers. His tracks are always a perfect blend of melodic and filth, a difficult combination these days. Probably because he’s not trying to be like Skrillex like every other Dubstep artist, finding his own place within the genre.

I promised myself that I wouldn’t post anymore of these “Make It Bun Dem” remixes, this has to be one of the coolest I have heard. Cottonmouth has created some of the dopest remixes, mainly taking originals no one has ever heard. He used one of the coolest bass synths for this drop, it completely makes me careless of the fact its another remix of the original.

Dubstep | R Rated #49

Posted by on October 3, 2012

The picture for this post is about to make sense. The track below has a music video, this video is NSFW but it is something that is different from most videos of this nature. Considering that I decided the video was just not safe enough to post up, but if you took the time to read this then click HERE. The track itself is sick, Ninja Kore did an outstanding job on this filth.

Bassex has been an artist I have been following for a long time now, he has even made it up on FNT quite a few times now. This upcoming remix has an interesting twist of melodic with filth. The vocal samples seem unnecessary but the instrumental alone are worth it. The remix drops October 18th.

This year was supposed to belong to Alvin Risk, but instead he release a less than satisfactory EP…and that was pretty much it. Like Skrillex, he is sitting on countless mind-blowing unreleased tracks, but he lacks the fan support his mentor has and should really start releasing more. This remix of his is off the new Halo soundtrack. This remix destroys, it makes you reevaluate Alvin’s future…for now.

I know, there are not enough free downloads on this weeks R Rated, but do not fear for next week is our 50th installment. For now let this tide you over for what is to come. Torus has not released a freebie in some time, this remix is epically pleasing. The drop happens without warning, making you wonder if you are even still on the same planet.

Dubstep, Electro-House, Moombahton | Kill The Noise — Roots Remixed EP

Posted by on July 24, 2012

If you want to talk about a producer who puts out some of the most top quality tracks in the Dubstep scene right now, then Kill The Noise is a producer that should be near the top of that list. Having spent countless months on his first OWSLA EP “Kill Kill Kill”, which is where we first witnessed that amazing growl sound he mastered so well. Now we have this “Roots Remixed EP” released under Slow Roast Records under which the original “Roots EP” was released.

Not only is Kill The Noise’s remix amazing, but so are the other 5 remixes. Starting with the KTN remix, we see that sensational,heavy, bass bumping style that has become a house hold favorite. I will say this, the intro does get a little bit annoying after about 10 seconds of it, but the drop makes it well worth it. Next up is Brillz outstanding Trap/Dubstep fusion remix. Many of you might not know Brillz, but he was part of Ultraviolet which was featured on “Kill Kill Kill”; you guys might remember them from the hit track Dying ft Emily Hudson. Either way Brillz had my second favorite remix on this EP. The horns and high synths mixed with the Trap percussions all work so well together. Kastle Slow Motion also had a Trap remix, but they had a little more funk feel to their remix. It sounded like something you would hear Outkast rapping over and I wasn’t feeling it too much because it just felt out of place on the EP. Torro Torro has had their remix of My World  complete for almost a year now so you can imagine how relieved they were to hear it was going to be released. Definitely a great Moombahton remix to the track keeping the latin vibes throughout on this one. This track has more of the original Moombahton feel without all the new Dubstep synths we hear nowadays mixed into tracks. Will Bailey also had a dope Moombahton remix as well, but his remix relates more to what we hear currently in the Moombahton scene. This track really reminded me of something off of Alvin Risk’s latest “Infinity EP” with the high pitch laser synths, which isn’t a bad thing in my opinion. Last but not least we have Codes Nu Dance remix, which is a pretty dope funked out remix. This one is definitely a great dance tune and something pretty unique. Grab the EP on Beatport HERE.

 

Here is a nice sampler mix of all the tracks on the EP by Kill The Noise

Dubstep | R Rated #37

Posted by on July 11, 2012

Kicking off this week’s R Rated we have a freebie from UKF of Dream and Archie Cane’s track Who Cares. This one is a big collab from these two that has been rinsed out by the likes of Skream, Benga, Skrillex and many others. Dream is a pretty underrated producer in my eyes, and the only thing holding him back from being more noticed is the amount of releases he has. Either way these two were able to brew up a masterpiece that has a Never Say Die feel mixed with some of Eptic’s style.

Ellie Goulding has one of the best voices in the business and it is no surprise as to why everyone is dying to get on a track with her. Lately we have seen a rising amount of remixes of her tracks, and Mach found the jackpot. This remix by Pittman immediately gave off that Alvin Risk style with some heavy sounds mixed between. The build up and progression through it are amazing in itself not to even mention the exploding drop.

Horx and P3000 are slowly climbing their way to the top with their set of releases lately. Horx definitely shows his experience within this group by bringing some awesome unique styles to every track their name is on. I love the soloed out vocals with the soft sounds in the background that set the stage for the grimey drop.

CRNKN cranked out this nice remix of Adventure Club’s Do I See Color with a little twist of his own. I love the synths and build ups CRNKN used in this remix, and it is also nice to see him making some dubstep again. Nothing too crazy from him on the drop, but tasteful and bass-filled enough for R Rated.

Here are two more free downloads.
