Dubstep | R Rated #33
Posted by Sev on June 14, 2012
Schoolboy is known for his big remixes as of late. Who can forget his Antidote remix which is still rinsed out by Knife Party almost every show, or his Why I Love You So remix. Even better was his EP “The Science Project”, which contained my favorite track by him till date, Paradigm. Now embarking on his latest and largest remix for Infected Mushroom’s track Nation of Wusses; he has gone and done it again. Smashing another monster creation of his that is sure to have him noticed, if people don’t know of him already. This first preview has to be one of my favorite remixes of the week. Teknian crushing this Fade Into Darkness remix for the Avicii remix competition, but deciding to not submit it through. Instead he is going to lay down some original vocals for release later on, which excites me even more for its release.
InfraRed is moving onto big things as far as there upcoming releases. Some of the stuff I have been hearing is sounding monstrous and out of this world as far as dubstep and drum & bass. This Wickman EP is sounding big so be sure to be on the lookout for a release date in the upcoming weeks. I love the old school heavy sounds in this track and how they are all mixed in so well together.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Danny Brown – Grown Up (Official Video)
Posted by dshaq on June 5, 2012
Detroit’s very own Danny Brown, drops off the visuals his great single, Grown Up. Everything about this video is perfect. The little kid is not only a spitting image of Danny, the clothes and tooth accident make it that much better. Danny has been one of my favorite underground rappers for a minute, so if you have yet to get up to date with his stuff, do so! Also shouts to fellow Fools Gold member, Party Supplies, who produced the video.
Hip-Hop | Lil Wayne – Ghoulish (Pusha T Diss)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 25, 2012
For those of you that live under a rock, or just don’t keep up to date on hip-hop beef. A few days ago Pusha T released a song with a few obvious slams at YMCMB. The YMCMB captain decided to make it a full on battle by releasing this monster track that absolutely destroys Pusha T’s version after listening and analyzing both tracks, Pusha’s version kicks Wayne’s ass, although, at first listen Wayne wins because of his flow, Pusha T’s lyricism and actual slams at YMCMB are too tough. I know, Lil Wayne has fallen off, but the man can still ride a beat, and he still has a few good verses left in him. Sound of in the comments section or engage us on twitter to let us know what you think of this new beef. Publicity stunt? Real? All fun and games? Peep Wayne’s diss below and Exodus under that one. After all, What’s Beef?

Dubstep | R Rated #27
Posted by Sev on May 2, 2012
After seeing Emalkay live during Nocturnal Wonderland here in Texas, I can honestly say this tune absolutely smashes crowds and stages. I need a release date for this tune ASAP, because I can only listen to these rips for so long. Emalkay took my MVP out of all the performers during Friday of the festival, and this tune was probably the determining factor. Really hoping we get some more tunes from this guy soon. I’m happy to say we FINALLY have a new track from Killsonik that was released out of no where yesterday. After only releasing one remix for Nero last year these guys were never heard from again until recently. Having their new single put up on UKF dubstep as well promoting the release of their EP, “Blood Lust” , on May 28th. I will give it to them though, this is a killer remix.
Mach has been eagerly awaiting the release of this next remix by Stepsonics. I had never heard of him before this, but what a way to be introduced. The track has a nice buildup which slowly levels off to where everything goes silent. Next thing you know you get slapped in the face by the drop. Take this as your warning.
We are slowly seeing more and more material emerging from the Never Say Die camp. After their two track remix EP released last week as well as Skism’s remix a few weeks before that; now everyone awaits the release of this drumstep remix of Hadouken’s Parasite. Who wouldn’t want a remix from Skism AND Zomboy. From what I have heard Zomboy has a EP in the making, so looking forward to hearing some of his new bits in the upcoming months.
How many artist do you know that can take Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up aka Rick Roll’d theme song and create a sick glich hop remix over the vocals? I can only think of one and that is the 17 year old producer, Teknian. I’m not going to lie I would like it to just be an instrumental, but either way the beat is dope.
Next up is an artist I have been following and keeping in contact with for a while now, but nobody knows of the talent this guy really has. I think the original to this track was top notch, until I heard this remix by Andrew D. This guy really has no boundaries, dropping tracks through all genres that just keep blowing me away. Whenever I asked him to let me know when he finished this track, he told me if he ever does….. You can imagine the face I made; something along these lines 0_0. Check out this tune and let him know your thoughts in the comments and encourage him to finish this amazing remix!

Dubstep | Numa Crew – Infama Feat. Ninjaz & Charlie Dakilo
Posted by Sev on May 2, 2012
Who is Numa Crew you ask? A crew of 7 producers and DJ’s combined in one super group hailing from Florence, Italy that have been bringing the best in Dub/Grime/Uk Funky styled music to our ears since 2005. I haven’t been good in keeping up with their releases which is a shame, because these guys bring some of the most unique sounds to the table. I am still trying to get over their World of Ragga track, that is a dubstep remix of Ini Kamoze’s World of Music that came out nearly two years ago. Mach and I have been on the hunt for some fresh Reggae Dubstep tunes lately and these guys are certainly one of the best at that style. With that being said one of their latest tracks Infama caught my attention right away with this slow dub style beat layered over what seems to be Portugese or Italian, not sure. Either way this track is beyond dope and the language barrier is the last thing that is going to stop me from banging to this track day in and day out. Be sure to grab this track and two others White Peach Records website HERE. Also be sure to like and follow their pages in the links below to stay up to date with these guys.
Dubstep, Indie | KO KO – Float (Sound Remedy Remix)
Posted by W8 on May 2, 2012
Float by KOKO is hands down one of the best indie records to date. Sound Remedy adds some extra flavor that undoubtedly widens the audience of this cheery record.
House, Preview | Eva Simons – I Don’t Like You (Fred Falke Remix)

Fred Falke is one of the great unsung heroes of electronic music. Yes, he has a considerable following and has been in the game for a long time, but for whatever reason I feel like he’s never fully given the spotlight. But perhaps that’s how he likes it. His understated yet musically lush remixes are always in keeping with the best of the French house tradition — melodic, disco-tinged, and eminently danceable. They’re also often so excellent that they quietly eclipse the original tracks (Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own” is a fantastic song, but Fred Falke’s remix has become the platonic ideal for me).
Falke’s latest remix, of the Zedd-produced “I Don’t Like You,” is a perfect example of his ability to fix something that wasn’t technically broken to begin with. He isolates Eva Simons’s powerful vocals and weaves in a new melody with a much more interesting chord progression, which beautifully showcases that almost ecstatic harmony in the chorus. No adrenaline-baiting builds, no airhorn samples or superfluous synthwork; this is just good old fashioned electronic music at its very best. I’m even feeling this over Nicky Romero’s remix, which has been getting heavy airplay on BBC Radio One lately and is sure to see more in the coming weeks. Preview Fred Falke’s remix in full below and look for it to drop on Interscope on May 22.
