Dubstep | R Rated #41
Posted by Sev on August 8, 2012
This first track for R Rated is provided courtesy of SKisM. Although it doesn’t categorize exactly as dubstep, it instead is more glitch/moombahcore, but still heavy enough to be considered in this weeks R Rated. SKisM always keeps it fresh with his tracks and giving away his second installment of the ‘Division’ Series today was a good start to the day. The actual release is on August 20th accompanied by a remix from drum & bass producer TC. Both tracks definitely pack a punch so be on the lookout for the release.
Moxix unleashed this heavy bass filled banger only a few days and it clearly hasn’t been getting the recognition it deserves. Mach and I had a mutual understanding that this track would not be left out R Rated this week, because it is one of those heavy bangers that is given away for free every so often. The quiet intro and build up can be deceiving to what actually takes place during the drop, so be prepared.
Trolley Snatcha released a free EP this week through Scion AV covering dubstep as well as some UK garage tracks. This collaboration with Foreign Beggars definitely turned out to be my favorites on the EP, as well as probably the heaviest track featured on the EP. I had a feeling we wouldn’t exactly be seeing the best he had to offer being that it was a free EP, but it wasn’t a lost cause. You can download the rest of the EP if you are interested along with this track through Scion AV HERE.
I was pretty surprised after I strolled through my Soundcloud to hear this freebie promoting the release of Doctrine’s free EP. I went in listening to this track with no expectations and I found myself bobbing my head and feeling this track all the way throughout. Although we hear the typical “Yoy” modern talking synths and the Flux Pavillion high pitched leads the combination of all of them turned out pretty well in this track. Although the rest of the EP wasn’t too enticing to me personally I still recommend that everyone take a listen anyways, which can be found in the Soundcloud description along with the free DL.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electronic, Trap | Birdy Nam Nam – Jaded Future EP
Posted by Sev on July 17, 2012
The highly anticipated Birdy Nam Nam EP “Jaded Future” has finally been released on OWSLA. Containing remixes from big names such as Skrillex, Foreign Beggars, Culprate, and more; this EP surely has something for everyone to listen to. What surprised me was how many trap-style remixes this EP contained. Birdy Nam Nam have been around for quite sometime, probably most well known for their outstanding live performances, which you can watch HERE.
As far as this well rounded EP goes, it is another must have for me. All the tracks and remixes sound completely different to one another with the perfect flow from track to track. If you played the Culprate remix and compared it to the original mix of Cadillac Dreams the only thing that would indicate they are the same track is the vocals, but other than that the two tracks have no similar indications. Of course everyone was waiting for the two remixes from Skrillex, which turned out to be better than expected in my opinion. The DnB remix was top quality, as expected from Skrillex, and the trap remix also was a very interesting take on the track. I have to say though although Skrillex and Culprate’s remixes were both exhilarating, Foreign Beggars remix was my favorite easily. Their hard hitting vocals mixed with the trap style instrumental came out to be perfection, but that is just my opinion. Grab the EP on Beatport HERE.
