Chill, Dubstep | River Styx – Evolve
Posted by Mach on February 25, 2013
This is one of the best Garage tracks I have heard in a while. Fun fact, River Styx is the other alias of filthy Dubstep producer, Poseidon. This track is very laid back, but the melody is something else entirely. The kicks and snare give off a Drum & Bass feel but it is the occasional blips that really add character to this great listen. After a long day at work on this Monday, River Styx provides the best way to transition to the end of your day.

Dubstep, Preview | Teknian – Behemoth (DarkElixir Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 23, 2013
I never expected to hear a good remix of Teknian’s epic new tune “Behemoth.” DarkElixir collided worlds with Teknian’s original, leaving behind a wasteland ruled by heavy bass. Seeing as this is only one drop, one can not even coherently imagine what the other may sound like, but I have a feeling it’s just as mind blowing. Adding this one to the ‘must have’ list.
House | Parker Ighile – So Beautiful (Pleather Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 21, 2013
This remix makes me feel like I am partying in the Caribbean on spring break in the 80s. The synth progression is incredible, I really love the work Pleather did with this remix. The vocals are edited nicely, giving them that soothing House feel. Kick back and enjoy.
Techno, Trance | Oscillator Z – Perpetually Finite
Posted by Mach on February 19, 2013
Oscillator Z has definitely been the topic of the past couple weeks. He has been releasing one great free track after another. This time he hits us with a Trance/Techno twist. The melody of this track is ever-sweet and matches the robotic vibe that the vocals send out.
Dubstep, Electro-House, Preview | Skrillex – Puppy
Posted by Mach on February 18, 2013
Well it seems that Skrillex may have an album coming this Summer. It is about time he started to make releases from his massive vault of tracks. The video is a commercial for G-Star Denim, which features the first known single that may or may not be a part of the album. “The Art of RAW,” (clearly a play on words of the book, “The Art of War”), is described by Skrillex as a blend of Electro-House, Dubstep, and fidget. An interesting blend for sure, I am happy that I actually enjoy this clip. The “Bangarang EP” was boring in my opinion, it baffles me that Skrillex managed to pull a Grammy from the title single. A creatively wild track such as this only leaves me wondering if an album would be all that we have been hoping for over the past 2 years. At this point it’s hard to say, and just as Skrillex has stated LPs in the past, this Summer could end up another disappointment. I’m sure there is just a lot of confusion between his upcoming Dog Blood releases and his new project with Diplo and A-Trak.
Edit: Well, it turns out that the track is not called “The Art of Raw” but is in fact named “Puppy”.
Electro | The Presets – Fail Epic (Owl Vision Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 17, 2013
Owl Vision delivers another hot Electro remix. It is cool to see how the track progresses into heavier Electro as it goes on. The long smooth intro is a nice touch for making good use of the vocals. Too bad this wasn’t out on friday because it would have been my track of the weekend.
Dubstep | R Rated #64
Posted by Mach on February 13, 2013
I had not heard anything about this remix until it released 2 days ago. It’s a slow but filthy remix, still maintaining the epic vibes from Culprate. A must buy for anyone in love with nasty Dubstep/Breakbeat.
This next track from Archie Cane, Sev & I have been obsessed with for days. It has deep carnival bass but in way we haven’t heard before. In other words, this track is dope.
Virtual seemed to have fallen off for a minute until his most recent releases. I was really feeling the griminess that carried with the vocals and the bass on this track. The drop comes at the most opportune moment and wreaks your ears.
Zanetic brought in an interesting underlaying theme to this track, it is almost middle-eastern. Either way, this track breaks into an insane drop, jam packed with different synths and bass.
Ah, I am so happy I saved this for R Rated. Not many know about Jomekka, but they should. He is one the first people I follow on Soundcloud, which says a lot considering I follow about 2000 artists now. Piercing lasers and crunchy bass, this track does not disappoint.
