Drum & Bass, Dubstep | MitiS – Endeavors / Alive Remix
Posted by Spice on November 19, 2012
A couple of solid freebies from MitiS, in which we see the young producer return to his glitchier, DnB-inflected roots. “Endeavors” combines the energy of drumstep with the catchy melodies we’ve come to expect from this classically trained pianist, while his remix of Krewella’s “Alive” transforms the electro house banger into something seriously heavy. Can’t get enough of MitiS? Check him out on Soundcloud for more goodies.
Videos | EDM Video Round-Up – Oct/Nov 2012
Posted by Spice on November 8, 2012
Another day, another batch of bizarre and perplexing music videos, conceived of by our favorite producers and set to the tunes of the moment. Music videos are an inherently bizarre and perplexing medium, to be honest. But they are, for better or for worse, a medium that endures. Just as Britney Spears once restored the true balance between divine masculine and feminine on Pop Up Video, so will SKisM, Skrillex, Cazzette, and a host of others negotiate the dizzying boundaries between art and life, self and other, creation and destruction.
God help us.
Dubstep | Excision – Shambhala 2012 Dubstep Mix
Posted by Sev on November 1, 2012
Excision has set a standard for his past Shambhala mixes, so you should know what you are getting yourself into when downloading this mix. This mix is created for the select few who can handle the heaviest, grimiest, craziest dubstep tracks all combined into one, one hour and half long mix. Containing some new unreleased bangers from the man himself along with what seems to be like his new go to collaboration team with Downlink and Space Laces. I have been able to go through the mix once so far, and it is mixed to a near perfection. Don’t miss the free download to what could be, and probably is, the best dubstep mix of the year.
Events, Review | Nero, Adventure Club & Fareoh @ Hammerstein Ballroom 10/27
Posted by Middy on October 31, 2012
On Saturday when the dance music community was fawning over the fact that Sensation was on the second night of its US debut (some of them would later show up at this concert) Nero, Adventure Club, Fareoh and Alex English were putting on a clinic at Hammerstein Ballroom. While there were some issues with the sound in that the bass all came from the floor speakers and the mids and highs came from the hanging speakers, the overall production and atmosphere was great. Alex English started off the night with a good, energetic warm up set as the crowd slowly started to file in. Fareoh followed him up with a big room set mixing in his own remixes and originals with some well crafted bootlegs. Read on to see how the rest of the night went and the full photo album is on Facebook.
Dubstep, Mashups | DOSVEC – MIND LIES
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 18, 2012
DOSVEC had one of the biggest DubStep Mashups last year Beast Break and his follow up “Mind Lies” is a silky smooth tune that will surely receive support just like Beast Break did from B.O.B. himself and Zeds Dead.
Interviews, Trap | Sidney Samson – Riverside (Spenca OG Trap Bootleg) + Exclusive Interview
Posted by Sev on October 15, 2012
Spenca has become one of the most versatile artist to storm through the EDM scence in the past few years. Releasing material through multiple genres, that have been recognized and exposed by some of the top artist in the industry. Having his songs played by Rusko through his early years of production, to collaborating with artist such as AFK Dubstep and DKS Dubstep, to even having Avicii playing his amazing house anthem Superstition on one of his podcasts. This artist is not afraid to try his talent in different genres, and with the release of his latest free tune we get to see his work in Trap. Needless to say this is just him having “fun”, he is a multi-talented producer to say the least. Taking Sidney Samson’s Riverside and lacing it with some heavy bass and tight snare’s to transform the track into a Trap’t out banger. The track is a definite must have, but we were also given the amazing opportunity to sit down with this talented producer and go one-on-one with him and his career as a producer. This is by far one of my favorite interviews I have had so far, because not only was he looking out for his best interest and exposure, but also trying to help those out that are in the same position he was once in as a producer. It is always great to have someone that has worked with some of the best and with so much experience and talent to shine some light on what it takes to make it in the EDM world. Check out some of Spenca’s social media below along with the interview.

Dubstep | Seven Lions ft. Birds of Paradise – She Was
Posted by Sev on October 12, 2012
The master of melodic dubstep, Seven Lions, has graced his fans with another free release from his upcoming EP. After having given away Isis before his release of ‘Polarized EP’, this time his soothing, euphoric track She Was was the choice of giveaway. With his graceful melodies and basslines, Seven Lions produces nothing but top quality tunes so not downloading such an amazing masterpiece would just be foolish. He is one of those artist for me that send me straight to the download button before I even listen to the track.
