Dubstep | Foreign Beggars – Apex (prod. Knife Party) / Dirtyphonics Remix
Posted by Spice on September 17, 2012
London-based hip-hop/dubstep group Foreign Beggars are back and bringing us some serious grime from their upcoming album The Uprising, set to drop on October 1st on Mau5trap Records. “Apex,” the fourth and final single, features production from none other than Knife Party — and it’s easy to see the influence of Rob and Gareth in those distortions and high laser synths. The Beggars layer some of their trademark rapid-fire verses over the instrumental, demonstrating that at the nexus of rap and dubstep lies total insanity. Included in the package is an even filthier remix from Dirtyphonics, which brings out the bass and folds in a crazy drop for good measure. A must DL for all you bassheads out there.

Drum & Bass | Netsky — Come Alive EP
Posted by Sev on May 21, 2012
After watching the video for Netsky’s latest single I can only imagine what life would be like living in his shoes. Come Alive has been a Drum and Bass anthem for many artist in the past few months. Adding some new sounds to his arsenal, Netsky has stayed true to his roots by playing the music that made him a staple in DnB. The track starts off nice and smooth with female vocals and your typical Drum & Bass futuristic intro. Swiftly building its way to the drop where Netsky shows his true talents, combining his smashing DnB styled drops with a more drumstep feel. Not many producers can fuze two styles without losing the other and I commend Netsky on doing so. Also on this EP are three other DnB remixes provided by Culture Shock, Rockwell, and Submerse that you can listen to below. Grab Netsky’s single Come Alive along with the remixes on Beatport HERE.
Drum & Bass | DnB Fridays
Posted by Sev on April 13, 2012
Noisia’s video of there track Could This Be is an interesting video that caught my attention this week when they released it. The video goes along with the track well and had me starring at it and replaying it a few times. Seven Lion’s is known for there beautiful melodic dubstep originals and remixes, but Smooth remixed this amazing track to perfection. This DnB remix off of Seven Lions upcoming EP by Smooth takes the melodic orignal and adds those heavy kicks and drums we all love to hear, while keeping the amazing melody and vocals intact.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Moombahton | Sub Focus — Falling Down [Sevs Top Remixes]
Posted by Sev on March 15, 2012
Sub Focus is undeniably one of my favorite producers and I have yet to get tired of this track. I enjoy this track so much that today I decided to throw my top remixes of this track into a remix pack with a little something for everyone. Although I wish this first remix was up for download, it unfortunately is not at this time but if it is in the near future I will let you guys know. It’s an amazing Drum and Bass remix by Elliot M. The intro he created for this remix gets me every time and I’m pretty sure if Sub Focus heard this one, he would be dropping it in his sets.

Rostik’s dubstep interpretation of this track is fire. He takes Sub Focus’s wobbly drop and makes it his own with an ascending synth and some cool sounds.

This one was uploaded today and it is a banger! It is a Delta Heavy style Moombahcore remix/mashup that is laser synth central. The slowed down Moombah BPM help builds the track up perfectly for this style drop.

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.

Kid Womp , aka Sergio Tufino, is a producer out of Austin, Texas on the verge of releasing his second EP titled “Genres”. The EP contains tracks in Dubstep, Drum and Bass, Moombahton, Electro-House, and Progressive showcasing Kid Womp’s versatility. The EP is set to release this Monday, but we all know waiting is over-rated, so as soon as Kid Womp’s FACEBOOK page hits 1200 likes we will release the EP exclusively on the site. Here is a little preview of one of the tracks on the EP. Its a remix to Tony Igy’s Astronomia and it is an Electro-House banger. The switch of BPM around 3:20 in the track is nasty so be sure to give the full track a listen and like the FACEBOOK page as well.
