Dubstep, House, Review | Culprate – The Great Expedition EP
Posted by Mach on May 27, 2013
This has to be one of the best EPs of 2013. Culprate is one of the most underrated artists in the EDM world, and the fact that the main population has not caught on to his music is disappointing. Culprate kicks off his EP with an epic melody of bass. “Scarred” has been sitting in his arsenal for a while now and once fans discovered he was finally releasing it, everyone went nuts, myself included. Dubstep currently is one of the most disappointing genres in electronic music, but it is artists like Culprate and tracks like “Scarred” that give me hope. His second track “Eddys” shows the abstract side of bass music that Cuprate can’t seem to stay away from. I will agree it’s not for everyone, but it is something worth dipping your ears into. Continuing the abstract flow, “Talk To Frank” is definitely one of my favorites from this EP. Maksim spits better than I have ever heard him before and the fact the instrumentals aren’t the easiest to lay his grimy verses over makes this a truly insane tune.
There is an interesting story behind the track “McFunk”, it is actually 1 of 4 collaborations Culprate did with the duo, Torqux. By the time the tracks were completed, Culprate took this incredible funky House tune and let the duo keep the other 3 tracks, what guy. Makes you wonder though, what do the other 3 soound like? When it comes to Dubstep and Midtempo styled bass music, Cuprate takes the win often, but this last track on the EP was something that I don’t think his fans even expected to hear. Collaborating with Addergebroed, Culprate layed out some of the best Techno I have heard in a long time. “Reboot” is exactly what it’s named, it is the revival of one of the most legendary genres. If this track doesn’t inspire more artists to look back at Techno, then it may in fact finally be outdated, but for now just enjoy the greatness.
All in all, this EP is absolutely amazing. I would love to see Culprate top charts with this, he is more than deserving with these great productions.

Indie, Progressive House | Phoenix – Trying To Be Cool (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on May 6, 2013
Much like the overweight girl with a great personality, The Chainsmokers have, for the most part, been ignored. Ignored by unattractive girls and the aforementioned overweight girl that is, because they know they have no chance with these guys. Damn they’re attractive. I haven’t actually seen them, except in my dreams, but I imagine with their multiple 100k plus played tracks on Soundcloud that it would be so. Continuing their trend of remixing indie bands, the duo have decided to take a spin at remixing Phoenix’s “Trying To Be Cool”. If you know of The Chainsmokers then you know what to expect from this. A fun, upbeat song with a hint of both house and indie. They have definitely done this track justice, with this possibly being better than the original.

FYI | Diplo & Skrillex form Jack U duo
Posted by Middy on May 2, 2013
2 of the three creators of the Potato Will Eat You project, Diplo and Skrillex have decided to join forces and form a duo named Jack U. The name first came up on the lineup for the San Diego Mad Decent Block Party and caused a lot confusion, but Diplo cleared it up on twitter saying “Jack u… Means skrillex+diplo together..”. This is not their first time working together — their collaboration “Amplifire” gained buzz back in the summer of 2011, but nothing has come of it, possibly due to sample clearing issues, a hot button topic these days. They will be releasing music on the Potato Will Eat You Youtube channel and will do the occasional live show. The only show that is currently scheduled is for the San Diego edition of the Mad Decent Block Parties.
It is hard to imagine they will have the time to release that much music together since each of them have their own very busy solo careers, are already members of duos, Skrillex in Dog Blood and Diplo in Major Lazer, and tour 300+ days a year. It will be interesting to see what comes of this, but if their past innovative style is any indication, we should expect some really cool, unique music from Jack U.
Bass, Dubstep, Moombahton | Pegboard Nerds & Tristam – Razor Sharp
Posted by Sev on May 1, 2013
When looking for amazing melodies and production, look no further than Pegboard Nerds. Having teamed up with the rising star Tristam and the guys over at Monstercat to release this amazing Mid-tempo track, there is no stoping them. Their tracks are so unique and well produced its hard not to be addicted to their style and aggressiveness. Approaching almost the halfway point in the year, if I were to say there is one artist to look out for in 2013 it is undoubtedly the Pegboard Nerds. Nothing but quality comes from this duo and it is all inspiring work.
