Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro, Moombahton | OWSLA Presents FREE Treats Vol. 2
Posted by Sev on March 13, 2012
The big day has finally arrived and OWSLA’s Free Treats Vol.2 is now out. I’m going to go ahead and say personally I was dissapointed at first, while others felt the compilation was up to par. I’m not saying every track on this compilation isn’t as appealing as I thought it was going to be, but for the most part I was let down for the number of tracks that are on this release. Free music is free music though and I won’t complain about that and there are tracks on here that deserve recognition. My overall favorite on the release is without a doubt Flinch & Jamtech Foundation – Bad Boy. I have said it before and I will say it again, reggae with dubstep is a killer combination. The Moombahton representers, Munchi and Sazon Booya, definitely nailed their tracks bringing the lasers and the heavy steel drums. When I saw Koan Sound and Alvin Risk’s names on the track list I had a feeling they would not disappoint. Koan Sound definitely didn’t, but I was a little disheartened by Alvin Risk’s melodic approach on his track. After listening to it a few times though, I got over it and could appreciate the uniqueness incorporated into constructing the track and not just releasing his usual expected laser synth filled Moombah tracks, altohugh that would have been nice. The last honorable mentions goes to Plastician’s Deep Dubstep track and Bare Noize & Zardonic’s Drum and Bass track. The wait still continues for something new from Skrillex. The compilation is free so follow the Beatport link below and grab your free download.

Dubstep, Electro-House | Kaskade Eyes Remixes
Posted by Sev on November 30, 2011
The remixes to Kaskade’s Eyes are finally out. All the attention seems to be going to Alvin Risk’s remix and it is evident why. The drop sounds like a combination of laser synths going off with a combined ruffneck bass synth. R3hab and Swanky Tunes remixes aren’t too bad either, but they were too generic sounding. R3hab starts the track off nice by setting up the vocals with a dope beat, then goes into his signature electro sounding drop. The Swanky Tunes remix didn’t really bring much to the table.

Albums, Dubstep, Electro | Kill The Noise – “Kill Kill Kill” EP
Posted by Mach on November 22, 2011
Rumor’s were going around from artists that got this EP early, that it was going to be the best EDM EP of the year. That statement could not have prepared anyone for this beast. Forget Skrillex, this is definitely the top release OWLSA has had. Kill The Noise didn’t just rock out the dubstep on this one, the guy gives electro a whole new light with his tracks Deal With It and She Likes To Party. The EP also features some amazing remixes from Dillon Francis, Brown & Gammon, Alvin Risk, and KOAN Sound. I can’t even begin to start telling you my top tracks, this whole EP is freakin’ insane. Give it a listen yourself, its a revelation waiting to happen.

Electro | Example – Stay Awake + Remixes
Posted by Middy on July 24, 2011
Release August 3rd…….Example is slated to release his new album September 4th with a whole host of bangers. The list of producers on the CD range from Funkagenda to Laidback Luke, Feed Me, Nero and more. Stay Awake is produced by Nero and is an absolute masterpiece with Nero making a perfect beat to complement the vocals. I have been looking for a good version of this for a while and my boy T hooked me up. The original extended version is a must download and is absolute fire. I added two remixes by Moam and Alvin Risk. The first by Moam is a dirty house remix that changes things up a little, but the beat is amazing. The second is a remix that has a great build that leads into some great heavy dubstep.

Electro, House | Diplo, DallasK, Kids At The Bar, Alvin Risk, Cyberpunkers | ELECTRO
Posted by GMONEY on January 24, 2011
Electronic producer and recent New Orleans transplant, Swiss Chriss, teamed up with rapper G-Easy for the track, “Nose Goes.” DallasK brings added filth to the song, transforming it into an absolute banger.

Diplo is a bit late with his remix of Sleigh Bells’, “Tell Em.” He seems passionate about the duo, though. In a statement made to fans, Diplo said, “…Their [Sleigh Bells] last album was one of the sickest of ’10…It’s soo sick, it gave me a stomach ache.” He then explained why the remix was delayed: “I started this mix for them like a year ago but it took Derek about 6 months to send stems so it was kinda in remix limbo but I really wanted to get it out to u guys cause I think the bass and the drums sounds nice and you can play it at your next party.”
