Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Preview | Reso – Tangram Remixed EP
Posted by Mach on January 23, 2013
2013 is already turning out to be an awesome year for electronic music in my opinion. Reso has an awesome line up of remixing artists for his upcoming remix EP of his recent EP release “Tangram.” The remix EP features KOAN Sound, Om Unit, Billain, and Doshy. KOAN Sound’s remix is a lot more abstract than I am used to hearing from them. Their remix of “Axion” is a very deep, bassy Drum & Bass track that transitions into a kicked up Midtempo jam. Om Unit has my favorite remix of the whole EP. The way they remixed “Simple Pleasures” creates the emotion that the title is so deserving of. The track is very chill and still with the same deep bass that carries out through all the remixes. Billain made a dirty Neuro-Dubstep remix of “Half Life,” making my ears convulse in the craziest ways. The last remix from Doshy is the only one of the EP that does not have its own clip. Doshy’s remix of “Coronium” is what I would call an abstract take on Trap. Oddly enough the idea works, and Doshy’s remix provides a cool-temperatured finish to the EP. The remix EP is set to release March 11th.

Drum & Bass | Raw Frequency Ft. Veela – Aurora (Elliot Berger Remix)
Posted by Mach on January 18, 2013
Feels like it has been too long since some fine liquid Drum & Bass got posted. The original of this song is actually just as good as this remix. Veela has such a beautiful voice. Having heard a lot of other tracks she has done vocals for, I have noticed that she is able to voice many different singing styles to match the instrumental she is covering. Elliot Berger picked a great track with a great vocalist to remix.
Dubstep, Electro, Electro-House, Preview | Feed Me – Death By Robot EP
Posted by Mach on January 10, 2013
Feed Me (AKA Spor) has been very busy the past months, it’s not easy being the CEO of Deadmau5′ record label, Mau5trap, while owning your own Drum & Bass label, Lifted. You can tell he enjoys his work though, which is why this next EP of his will be just as good as the last. Every new EP of his seems to reflect different styles. I don’t think he’s lost but I do believe he loves trying any and everything. His new EP title track “Death By Robot” sounds like it is going to be the best Electro-House track he has ever done. I know that is a tall order, but just from this small clip I am dying to have a full copy. “Gravel” is a dirty sounding Electro and Tech-House blend. Could be a little repetitive for some, but I feel like in a live setting it is just what the doctor ordered. “Dial Up Days” was a little hard for me to decipher, it’s Dubstep but Breakbeat but also Nu-Dance. Besides confusing this turned out to be a really cool, not your usual, laid back tune to dance to. Only six days away, Feed Me’s new EP releases on January 6th.

Since a lot has changed over the past year in how artists put out their music to the blogs I decided to create two lists this year. My first top 10 being all free downloads from the year and the second being my top 10 purchases of 2012. The lists came out very different from each other but none the less contain 20 tracks that I would not want to go without. The lists count down from my number 10 picks to my number 1 picks.

Dubstep, Glitch, House, Review | Teknian – Sonic EP
Posted by Mach on January 7, 2013
We’re only a week into 2013 and already Teknian has delivered the first quality EP of the year. Having only announced the EP about a few weeks ago, and seeing a tracklist containing all tracks that fans of his have been dying for, I knew this EP was going to be sick to say the least. People in the music forums have been requesting the starter track, “1984,” for some time now. I had never found a clip of it to listen to so I didn’t understand what all the hype was about. Now that I have listened to it, I can see why everyone was dying for the release of this fun 80s style Glitch-Hop track. Next, “Behemoth,” which has to be my favorite on the EP, actually has a cool story. Back when Avicii’s “Fade Into Darkness” remix competition was going on, “Behemoth” was the instrumental to Teknian’s remix. After he realized how awesome his instrumentals were, he pulled the track out of the competition and delivered a heavy bass blow to our eardrums. “Sonic” is another track I have only heard stories about. It starts out like Drum & Bass, leaving you to think it might turn into Neuro-Funk. Like a B0:55, Teknian drops the bass leaving you speechless to this Dubstep fire. The last track on the EP was a complete surprise to all those anticipating its release. Teknian has been known to troll and produce outside his usual styles, but to have a house track like this one just hanging out amongst a sea of bass seemed ridiculous. “You Make Me So” is actually one of the funkiest Deep House tracks I have laid my ears upon and is a lot of fun to listen to. The “Sonic” EP is a great success, and in my opinion, Teknian did an incredible job.
Drum & Bass | Wickaman, SuddenDef & Hoodlum – Bass Rider // Hurt You
Posted by Sev on December 28, 2012
The InfraRed record label has always been known for their top quality releases, whether it comes to Drum & Bass or Dubstep. It seems as though on their latest release they were able to combine the ingenuity of these three artist to create two monster DnB tracks. Bassrider is the crazier of the two tracks, providing more of a darker element with its toned down buildup into the fast paced , violent drop. Hurt You has some more melodic elements added to it, but still provides the right amont of bass to get the speakers rumbling. Both tracks provide that great old school DnB vibe alongside some fresher elements.

Drum & Bass | Ed Sheeran – Give Me Love (New Machine Remix)
Posted by Mach on November 27, 2012
This is a huge Drum & Bass remix. Ed Sheeran always seems to pull in an artist that seemingly floats under the radar, but does one of the most incredible remix jobs. New Machine owned this track with featured MC, Mic Righteous. The UK leads the world in EDM, lucky bastards.
