Dubstep | Adventure Club – Wait
Posted by Sev on May 29, 2012
Adventure Club has done it again. Supplying us with another one of their melodic dubstep masterpieces entitled “Wait”. It’s tough to deny this duo’s talent, and this track has summer written all over it. The vocals go hand in hand with the amazing, smooth basslines that has made these guys so highly known. The track almost switches back and forth from electro to dubstep, which brings a whole new level of energy and excitement. I can’t wait for these guys to release an EP.
Progressive House | MitiS – Life Of Sin
Posted by Mach on May 28, 2012
Two things about this track confuse me although they do not matter in reality. One being why this melodic track is named ‘Life Of Sin,’ two, how did dubstep filth MitiS decide to create a house track as beautiful as this. I am not complaining, this track is amazing. The piano work in the break almost brought tears to my eyes, and the rest of the synths added into this make this one of the best unheard house tracks of 2012…in my opinion of course. MitiS is in fact known for his insane dubstep tracks, but after listening to this I realize there is still more for me to learn from him and what artists should be known for.

Dubstep | Never Say Die: Compilation Album
Posted by Sev on May 27, 2012
The monster compilation, known as the Never Say Die Album, has finally been unleashed onto Beatport. The best of the top stars from the N.S.D. team, plus others outside the label, are featured on this heavy hitting album. Some of the most anticipated tracks of the year are featured on this outstanding compilation. The continuous mix provided by Skism, just goes to show how much flow each of the tracks has in connection with one another. The label does such a great job of keeping their sound unique to their own style, and it can definitely be seen through this album and mix.
I wish I could go through and explain the uniqueness and talent behind each track on this album, but I would have to compile it in a 40 page paper which doesn’t sound too enticing during summer time (or any other time for that matter). With that being said, I will give you my top three favorite tracks on this album. Without a doubt the best track on this album for me is “Skism – Like This (feat Virus Syndicate)”. An incredible track all around from one of the most talented producers in dubstep when it comes to creating unique and crisp sounds that are sure to send any crowd going mental. It is no wonder the Never Say Die operation is doing so well with Skism at the top, making sure nothing but the best possible productions are coming out of the camp. Track number two is “501 – Chasing Stars”. The synths that 501 creates in his tracks are second to none when it comes to individuality. Just bouncing back from a great release of his EP ,Headrush/Falling Skies, he brings some heavy hitting sounds in this track that are sure to pack a punch on any set. Track number three is “Dodge & Fuski – Round One”. I must say this duo has been fabricating some of the best/catchiest melodies in dubstep lately. The popping laser synth sound on the drop sealed the deal for me on this track the first time through. I know many of you are probably thinking what about Zomboy’s remix of “Still Gettin It”, but I hate to say that the prolonging of the release on this one killed the glory of this track for me. Being surfaced almost 11 months ago, the edits and hype around the track had everyone on the edge of their seats waiting for the release and with no release in site, there was no choice but to enjoy those edits. I am happy it finally has released and it is still an amazing remix from a top notch producer, so don’t let that discourage anyone from listening to it or any of the other tracks on this amazing album. You can grab this album on Beatport along with the continous mix provided by the great Skism HERE.
Dubstep | Bro Safari & Knuckle Children – Mr. Nice Guy
Posted by Spice on May 24, 2012
FNT fave Bro Safari just hit the 10,000 like mark on Facebook, and as a sign of appreciation to his fans he is giving away this gritty dubstep headbanger for free. Bro Safari is typically known for producing funky, danceable moombahton tracks with an edge, so I see this as something of a departure from his usual style. Nevertheless, it’s awesome — more dubstep plz, Bro Safari!
Dubstep | R Rated #30
Posted by Mach on May 23, 2012
This week released some insane dubstep tracks for R Rated, even a few non-dubstep tracks that earn their way onto the post. Sev provided this weeks first killer tune for R this week. Why no one has ever made a remix like this of this track baffles me, but who am I to complain when this remix from Divine X now exists.
With the Rage Valley EP officially dropping May 27th, it only seems right to include a nasty remix of Knife Party. Tolgar blew my ****ing mind with this remix, the synth and bass work is insane. Prepare yourselves.
DUBSurce has always pleased my ears with some sick dubstep jams. None of which can compare to this dirty track he just dropped. The drumstep really goes off without flaw, making you want more and more of it.
Another one of Adele’s most over remixed tracks, ‘Set Fire To The Rain’ has the vocals that everyone wants to use. I am still a huge fan of Cazzette’s remix, but Audio Punk knew the sweet spot to hit with me. This remix is awesome, the vocal positioning is great and the bass work is epic.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Moombahton | Muffler Remixes: Volume Two (Subhuman)
Posted by Sev on May 23, 2012
Muffler and Subhuman are back at it again with Volume Two of the Muffler Remixes. Don’t expect anything less than the grimiest dubstep bangers and the heaviest drum & bass tracks from these guys. Now that you have been warned, we can continue and disclose these superb tunes.
Pixel Fist making another appearance on a Muffler EP , and yet again bringing another heavy drumstep/drum and bass banger. No complaints from this track, providing the screechy synths and thick sub-bass. Bare bringing a similar styled remix as Pixel Fist, but slower for obvious reasons (BPM). This track separates itself from Bare’s other tracks, because he incorporates more punch to each of his kicks and drops, which overall brings a heavier atmosphere to the track. Continuing on we have three other dubstep/drum & bass remixes provided by Ajapai, Muffler, and Nightwalker. Nothing short of bass-driven bangers from all three artist. I have to say the last remix provided by Billy The Gent X Long Jawns is the most unique and stylish to me being that it is Moombahton. These guys are on the rise and I can’t wait to get my hands on more of their releases. You can get the whole EP on Beatport HERE.
