Dubstep | R Rated #56
Posted by Sev on November 21, 2012
Kicking off this weeks Thanksgiving edition of R Rated, it is only right to have an excess of tunes to add some filth to your holidays. First up we have this free tune from Pegboard Nerds, who have been tearing the scene apart lately. This track was given away as a gift for their 20k followers. These guys have yet to release a tune less than amazing so grab this free download HERE.
Next up are two previews from an artist who has been making a name for himself and is a part of the Firepower Crew. It is none other than AFK, who previewed two new heavy originals by himself, but no release dates yet. Both of these tracks are monstrous and have me excited to see what he is going to release next.
DeadExit is a new group with three members, and one of them being none other heavy hitter Crissy Criss. They released a mix about a week ago showcasing some of their new material, but yesterday they released their first free track. When Crissy Criss is involved in creating a track you know that it is going to pack a punch and have some crazy sounds. Grab the free download and keep an eye out for a EP release soon.
It has been a while since we heard any new material from Zanetic. It seems as though he has been locked in the studio creating and mixing down his latest EP which is set to release on Dec. 3rd. He was kind enough to give us this free DL from the EP that is a crazy glich hop tune. You can download the track HERE.
Vital Techniques & Mikey B just unleashed this outstanding Drumstep VIP of one of their tracks. It is everything you want and more in a VIP. This is a must have for everyone.
Dubstep, Electronic | Kastle – Stay Forever (Tour VIP Remix)
Posted by W8 on November 21, 2012
I can’t recall a time that I ever legitimately considered co-signing an artist 100% until now. Kastle is literally a gem onto himself. Forget about an individual track that stands alone, this man’s entire catalogue is just rinsed with gems. A plentiful quantity that happens to be all quality. I would highly recommend you head over to his Soundcloud and bathe in this absuuurd treasure trove. Can’t believe I slept on Kastle, forgive me.
Dubstep | Konec – Cascade EP
Posted by Sev on November 19, 2012
Rising star Konec has just released his first EP entitled Cacade EP, out not on ‘Dub-All or Nothing’. Most well known for his laser filled remix to N*ggas in Paris that has been rinsed out by xKore during his FP tour sets; that remix barely scratches the surface of what he has in store. This EP has a nice 16-bit/old school video game theme to it that won me over after my first play of Cascade. The intro to Cascade lures me into the track every time, and not to mention the amazing melody and transition into the intense drop. With Jaguar there is more epic feel throughout, with pauses in the intro between chords. After we have the suspenseful build-up complete, we get a taste of the drop a few seconds before, after which we are hit with the heavy growl along with some jaguar sounds between. The amount of detail in both tracks is outstanding, and each listen through you notice more and more. Along with the two originals we also have two fantastic remixes provided by Poisound and Centra. Poisound takes Jaguar and gives it his usually deathly drumstep touch to transform the track into a fast paced banger. Centra’s remix to Cascade is more along the lines of his uplifting style of DnB with a nice nero-funk styled drop. Be sure to grab this EP off of Beatport HERE, or iTunes UK HERE, or iTunes US HERE. As a little added bonus we got to talk with this outstanding artist in an interview that can be read after the jump below. It’s one of my favorite interviews to date, so don’t miss it. Show him some support on his social media’s that can be found in the links below.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Preview | Two Fingers – Vengeance Rhythm (KOAN Sound Remix)
Posted by Mach on November 5, 2012
This was a little difficult to categorize on the site because this is Neurofunk, which is technically a subgenre of Drum & Bass…semantics. Two Fingers was originally a duo made up of Doubleclick and EDMs most influential artist, Amon Tobin, but now is just a solo alter ego of Amon Tobin. KOAN Sound is very lucky to have been chosen by the legend to do a remix for his last album that released, “Stunt Rhythms.” Just as expected, KOAN Sound did a killer job on this remix, it is releasing December 10th on Big Dada.
Dubstep | Major Lazer ft Flux Pavilion – Jah No Partial
Posted by Sev on October 22, 2012
Major Lazer’s reign of influencing the EDM scene with their Island/Reggae style continues with their latest release and collaboration with the one and only, Flux Pavilion. We first got a real glimpse of this outstanding tune through Skrillex and 12th Planet’s back to back set at UMF, when this tune took the internet by storm. After sorting out all the details and figuring out this was a collabortion between the two heavy hitters, all we could do was wait for some sort of release date and more audio of the track. Diplo is one of those artist who likes to relay a message into his tracks through whatever method possible and in the video provided below, he gives us a little overview as to why he chose the acapella for this Johnny Osbourne classic. This bouncy track definitely exhibits styles from both artists and turned out to be an amazing tune. Grab this track off of Beatport HERE.
Hip-Hop | Skiff – Van Wilder
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 22, 2012
In the mix of what has been labeled “Frat Rap” and has received criticism for lack of lyricism, a new artist emerges with a new sound, complimented by witty lyrics and a smooth flow. Enter; Skiff. The San Francisco native drops his 1st single out of his home at Wyclef Jean’s new label, “All Handz On Deck”. With his Hip Hop single “Van Wilder”, Skiff pretty much tells the story of the average college student, without the sugarcoating and simple lyricism.
