Dubstep | R Rated #29
Posted by Sev on May 17, 2012
Due to some technical difficulties yesterday, I wasn’t able to make it back to the site when it was back online so we had to push back R Rated unfortunately. No worries though, that just means more bass driven bangers for you guys to enjoy. For example this amazing VIP was given away on UKF today by DC Breaks. Given that the original was a Dnb masterpiece, this VIP dubstep mix utilizes the vocals to the max with some new synth additions along the amazing bassline melody. Next up we check out some of the previews and released tracks of the week. Ajapai has been doing work on Rottun records releasing a contstant flow of heavy hitting tunes. You can add his latest single to that list, which is comprised of some aggressive sounds almost resembeling some of the sounds from Downlinks – Factory.
We haven’t heard much from Mojo since his release of Carnival , but now it looks like his EP for Buygore is near completion with previews up on their Soundcloud. I’m kind of bummed this collaboration isn’t featured on the EP because of it’s a one of a kind heavy hitting drop. I’ll be on the lookout for an official release for this one.
Toning it down just a little bit on this next remix; TYR brings a top of the line remix to Calvin Harris’s latest collaboration with Ne-Yo entitled Let’s Go. Being that it is for a remix competition he isn’t allowed to give this remix out just yet. Each drop in this track is different and pretty dope which was why I had to feature it this week. There not insanely crazy drops, but they’re a style that resembles a fusion between old school Flux Pavillion and Nero drops we used to see. The second drop definitely won me over on this one. Be sure to vote for this remix on the Beatport remix competition HERE.
Time for some free downloads so READ ON.
Albums, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro-House, Progressive House | Seven Lions — Polarize EP
Posted by Sev on April 25, 2012
Has anyone heard a dissapointing Seven Lions track yet, because I haven’t. This EP has been on repeat for the past day few days since its release and I know Mach is on the same boat. What a great combination of genre’s in one EP and variation of sounds that just keep the listener coming back for more. I can’t get enough of Below Us and also the Dnb Remix by Smooth. Every track on this EP is truley unique and astonishing in its own way. I could go on all day talking about how amazing this tracks are, but I would rather let you guys enjoy them yourselves. You can grab a free track off the EP given away by Viper Recordings by clicking Read On. Grab this EP on Beatport HERE.
Electro-House, Progressive House | Chicane – What Am I Doing Here? (Part 1) (Aylen Remix)
Posted by Sev on April 12, 2012
Rising star Aylen has yet again out done himself on this remix, but this time it is a Progressive/Electro House remix. Steering away from his usual Moombah fuzed style, the driving bass and appealing female vocals in this track put the listener in a state of euphoria. With great piano progressions through the track leading into his first progressive house style drop you are left with no choice but wanting to dance. Slowly toning it back down after the first phase and then gradually building the track back up using the vocals and a combination of amazing synth chords we get hit with a tasteful electro drop that would send any crowd going nuts. The is definitely one we are going to be seeing at the festivals this summer.

Drum & Bass | Mooqee & Pimpsoul – Feeling Good (Tantrum Desire Remix)
Posted by Sev on April 11, 2012
Loving the sounds from Tantrum Desire on all of their latest releases so far. These guys are killing it in Dnb for me right now. Bringing in a new fresh style that is undeniably one of the best in the game. Not sure how the lyrics to this song aren’t a problem with Michael Buble, or taken straight from him, but whatever works, works. What appeals to me most is how Tantrume Desire dip into both drumstep and drum and bass in most of there songs. The combination of synths and leads in this track fuze together to create a Dnb masterpiece.

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 | R Rated #19
Posted by Sev on March 7, 2012
Xilent finally unleashes all hell with his lastest and baddest remix to Sub Focus’s single Out The Blue. I was not expecting Xilent to pull a 180 and stray away from his more melodic Gemini-esque style, but this remix is just nuts on so many levels. Just in time for the festival season too, this one is going to crush everyone and everything in its path. Although this week was a little quieter than the past few weeks as far as releases, next week is going to be another big week. The biggest release of them being Camo & Krooked’s “Between The Lines EP”. Ya OWSLA has their compilation releasing next week as well, but if you have been listening to the previews from this EP you will know what im talking about. The heaviest of the heaviest DnB, Drumstep, and Dubstep is featured on the EP and just to prove it here are my top two favorites by far and R Rated approved.
First we have a free tune from up and coming Never Say Die Records star Eptic. As of late there has been a lot of hype circulating his tracks and rightfully so. Creating some monster tunes and remixes that have been rinsed out in sets by all the big names. This track has more of a Brown and Gammon feel to it with the upbeat and glich sounding combination.

Figure has been on the loose lately releasing some heavy tunes. His latest drumstep remix on Borgores EP was ridiculous. He is currently working on an album set to release in late spring early summer and to spread the word he gave away this unique track . It some style of destructo/doom music.

Bassnectar just gave away his latest track entitled Ugly from his upcoming album , and it looks like Notixx just could not wait to remix the track. Within a day he was able to produce a remix equally as impressive as Bassnectar’s original.

Good looks from Mach scooping this track from JD4D. Vexare bringing the lasers with a VIP of his track Firing.

Last we have heavy, bass driven tune by Exilica. The track starts off with a nice piano melody and some vocals, then before you known it you get hit with a full out bass flex.
Mashups, Videos | DOSVEC – Fresh Leone
Posted by Mach on February 21, 2012
DOSVEC has been on a mission to bust out as many videos as he can to match all his fans favorites of his. Sierra Leone is one of the most legendary dubstep tracks to ever hit man kinds ears, and the hook from Fresh I Stay really kicks. Usually DOSVEC’s goal for a mashup is to provide vocals everyone knows and loves, then put them over a bomb beat that most may not know. This gem is a great combination and now we have great visuals to match.
