Dubstep | BT & Fractal – Letting Go
Posted by BP on August 16, 2013
This is my second time this week posting about Fractal – meaning he’s really been killin’ it. This melodic yet grimy dubstep track with some input from his partner in crime Au5 is just awesome. It’s one of those songs that gets stuck in your head on repeat all day. The catchy vocals sound fantastic laced with the melodic growls. Fractal has definitely got a new fan on his hands! Check this one out on Beatport!

Dubstep | PRFFTT & Svyable – We Are ft. Crywolf
Posted by BP on August 14, 2013
“We Are” by PRFFTT & Svyable (pronounced Proffitt and S-viable), (mixed and mastered by Crywolf) is on point. This is melodic dubstep done right. These artists working together was bound to make something great happen. The vocals easily float over the beautiful chords. It’s profoundly ear pleasing all the way through. Not to mention it’s free!

Dubstep | Au5 – Metronic (Fractal Remix)
Posted by BP on August 13, 2013
Fractal’s remix of Au5’s single Metronic, released to Atom Recordings on August 19th, is intense, technical, and full of the dark sounds one looks for in some heavy dubstep. Fractal’s take on the song is a little more bouncy than the original, and mixes a few other flavors in besides hard hitting dubstep. It’s easy to tell that a lot of effort and attention to detail was put into this remix. You can listen to the stream here until it’s released!
I couldn’t help but also post Au5’s original track as well. It’s absolutely sinister in the best way possible. Enjoy!
Events | Five Things We Can’t Wait For At Electric Zoo 2013
Posted by Spice on August 8, 2013
Summer is flying by, which is bittersweet on one hand but totally amazing on the other. Why? Because it means that we’re getting closer and closer to Electric Zoo’s blowout fifth year. If you’re not up on your EZoo life, check out our official recap video from last year and see what you missed. Yeah — it was pretty killer. Fortunately, this year is already shaping up to be bigger and better than ever for many reasons, not least of which are:
1) Two mainstages (count ’em, TWO) and an expanded festival site on Randall’s Island. More on that later.
2) A new 18 and up policy. Sorry, youths (#YOUTHS) of the world — I’m too old for your shenanigans and look forward to mingling with an older and wiser crowd. *Wheezes; testily gestures for you to GET OFF MY LAWN.*
3) A totally killer lineup — which is par for the course by EZoo’s standards. There’s lots to be excited about here, but we’ve come up with five things that we’re especially stoked for. Check ’em out after the jump.
Dubstep | Felix Cartal & Clockwork – The Fire ft. Madame buttons (Skrux Remix)
Posted by BP on August 2, 2013
I am not surprised to present to you a fantastic Skrux remix today. His remixes are always quality. In this remix of “The Fire,” he did a great job of making sure the vocals got to shine, and still making it his own. The synth in the drop(s) is on point, and the track is very smooth overall. Heavy, but smooth. A lovely combination for dubstep. This remix is free to download from Facebook!

Electronic | Hade – Hallway
Posted by W8 on August 1, 2013
After a good month of waiting, I’m among probably 3 people in the world that anticipated this track so immensely. Hallway comes off an obscure Workspaces Compilation that I was listening to on a late night while writing my thesis ”Fingers are like little arms.”. As it plays out, this track by Hade struck me as amazing. So much so that I’ve been playing it everyday since. A few scheduling errors deterred the release even passed my already long wait, making it even better to find out today that it’s not only out, but free!
Hade simply layers a bunch of significance over top an array of ancient dubstep wobbles bringing forth a vibe all of its own. The summation on the second drop just brings it all together in an ill way. A cool soundscape that I just love.

Dubstep, Trap | Candyland – Bring The Rain (heRobust Remix)
Posted by BP on July 31, 2013
I know, I know… another “Bring the Rain” remix. But! This one really deserves recognition. This remix encompasses three genres all in one song. heRobust starts with a house intro, then switches to beautifully smooth trap at the first drop. After you think you’ve got the hang of the melodic trap, the second drop at 2:15 throws in some grimy dubstep. How he made three genres work so well in one song, I don’t know, but you should listen to it for yourself and you’ll know what I mean! It’s also free to download!
