Dubstep | Band of Horses – The Funeral (Echos Remix)
Posted by BP on June 18, 2014
I know there’s a remix or 700 of this song out there, but this one is pretty swell, trust me. Echos remix of “The Funeral” by Band of Horses keeps the vocals in tact, and beautiful might I add, while adding a melodic dubstep style to it. Heavenly chords guide listeners through the bridges into faster paced growls and drums. The progression and melody of this track are unreal. Echos is showing us some awesome work here and I can’t wait to hear more. Grab this one for free.

Dubstep | Infuze – Release Yourself EP
Posted by BP on June 4, 2014
With support from Datsik, Infuze released this EP today, fittingly titled “Release Yourself”. This three track monster is filled with dubstep and amazing vocals from Charlie Fox and Bailey Smalls. I love finding new dubstep gems, and with support from Datsik and a release on Firepower Records you know it has got to be good. My favorite track is the first, “Release Yourself”, because of the heavier sound, but they all are classics and each bring something different to the table. Grab it on Beatport.

Dubstep | Noosa – Clocktower (PatrickReza Remix)
Posted by BP on May 29, 2014
I’m one day late on this one (apologies) but it’s so lovely that it deserves a post. PatrickReza is always on point, and this remix of “Clocktower” by Noosa doesn’t fall short. I was just complaining about the lack of dubstep lately and then PatrickReza surfaced with this excellent remix. The beautiful vocals dance over low bass growls throughout this melodic dubstep masterpiece. The drops are unique because they jump around quite a bit, keeping it interesting while still maintaining that classic PatrickReza style. Lucky for us, it’s out for free download!

Dubstep | T-Mass – The One Feat. Mona Moua
Posted by BP on May 27, 2014
Lately it has been such a struggle to find good dubstep. I’ve posted a few compilations featuring T-Mass, but this is his first solo debut on FNT. “The One Feat. Mona Moua” by the San Francisco based producer is a melodic dubstep track that I stumbled upon earlier today and kept coming back to. The vocals are beautiful and float smoothly over the growls and smooth bass drops. The atmosphere is powerful and dream-like. It’s out for free download so I thought I would pass it along to all the dubstep lovers out there.

Events | Rusko To Headline Bounce Boat on 5/30
Posted by Middy on May 15, 2014
After kicking off the season with The Chainsmokers on a rainy April night, Bounce Boat looks forward towards a busy summer post-memorial day with a decidedly heavier lineup, headlined by Rusko. Also on board will be Infuze and Subset so don’t expect any rest for those ears as the dubstep onslaught will be relentless all night. Kirill Was Here will be there to document it all, so expect to see some ta tas. The Chainsmokers drunkenly shouted that they wanted to sink the boat, well with this bass on the 30th, they may just take it down. Same deal as last time. Boarding begins at 6:30, departure scheduled for 8pm and return at midnight to pier 40. It is 18+ and grab your tickets here.
Dubstep, Electro | Nero – Satisfy
Posted by Middy on May 15, 2014
It has been too long since we have heard from you Nero. Oh how I have missed the controlled aggression that simply sounds like nobody else’s handiwork. Their ability to combine female vocals, orchestral arrangements and a thunderous dark bass line makes them among dubstep’s elite. “Satisfy” is the first we have heard from them in a long time and bodes well for their upcoming album set for release later this year.

Interviews | [Exclusive] The Rise Of Collin McLoughlin
Posted by BIGLIFE on March 18, 2014
We remember when we first received an e-mail from Collin McLoughlin. It was 2010, and he contacted us with a single submission. We were instantly impressed. In fact, we can still remember where we were when we heard his voice. We knew then that Collin McLoughlin was destined for greatness. While the Collin’s road to success has taken him to places like NBC’s “The Voice”, he’s on a new mission. Since July of 2013, Collin has been releasing a slew of impressive remixes and originals that have gained support from just about everyone in the blogosphere. Collin’s profile is quickly rising, so we decided to check in with him to talk about how a Youtube cover singer from New York became one of the most talked about names in the melodic bass world.
1. Forgive me for asking, but how did a guy that was knocked out in the second round of NBC’s “The Voice” become a successful melodic dubstep producer and DJ, essentially out of nowhere?
It took an incredible amount of dedication and hard work. I’ve learned everything I know about production from various online tutorials, Youtube, and trial and error. I also have had some good friends like Carlos Cid who have given me tremendous advice. That said, the majority of my DJ and production knowledge has come from an insane amount of hard hours spent teaching myself.
