Dubstep | R Rated #43
Posted by Sev on August 22, 2012
Man do we have a packed R Rated this week. So many quality tunes to unleash on you guys that it has had us excited all day! We have all kinds of tracks so lets begin with the first pick, Figure. Let me start by saying, HOLY SH**! We haven’t known Figure to ever dissapoint, and that streak continues. This tune is next level on all kinds of nasty and is epic enough to melt your brain with some supersonic brainwaves.
Next up we switch gears to a darker tune by Skywalkerr. Yes, here on R Rated we love the heavy filthy tunes, but we also enjoy the deep, heavy dark ones as well. Skywalkerr shows promise in this track with some glimpses of early Cookie Monsta and even a little bit of Bassnectar. Everyone keep an eye out for this Californian by following him on Facebook HERE and shout outs to WhompTexas for the find.
This next one by Truth is also another deep tune, but with a little more nasty dabbled on top. Using some aggressive distorted wobbles to accompany the bass and deep sounds, this album looks very promising
I’m not going to lie, I was a fan of the original of this remix at one point in time, but hearing this remix sparked my interest in the track again. Vital Technique and Mikey B outdid themselves on this fun remix, giving it a little bit of Datsik flavor to carry the vocals through.
This next one is by Texas native, Treg. Shout outs to WhompTexas again for showing me two absolute bangers in one day! This one isn’t anything like what we heard earlier from Skywalkerr, but 10 times heavier. At first we were only going to preview the song, but we were able to get the exclusive hook-up on this one for the FNT fans, but I need everyone to go follow him on Soundcloud and like his Facebook page HERE.

Electro-House | Sato Goldschlag – Mr Mister feat Wynter Gordon (Laidback Luke remix)
Posted by Middy on May 30, 2012
Nothing cheers you up after a day of a delayed 9 hour international flight with too much turbulence and crying kids like seeing this absolute monster in my inbox for download and the follow-up email saying it can be given away as a free download. Sato Goldschlag had been warning me about something big at Ultra and they were not kidding with this massive remix from Laidback Luke premiered at the festival. Laidback Luke keeps some of the original synth melody put down by Sato Goldschlag, while utilizing Wynter Gordon’s angelic vocals as well as anyone can. He then adds grimy, grungy low end synth chords and a prominent string melody with a varying bass line that completely changes the character of the track from a poppy house track to knock you out of your chair electro house banger.

Progressive House | Nicky Romero – Tension (Vocal Mix)
Posted by Middy on April 7, 2012
I love it when prominent artists hit Facebook milestone numbers because they feel a sort of obligation to give back to their fans and free songs is usually how giving back manifests itself. Nicky Romero just hit 100,000 Facebook fans and as promised he has provided his fans with a little present to his fans. Nicky Romero gave out two great techy tracks for the new year with Fedde le Grand, so this is not new to him. The track starts with an easy piano melody and builds with a rising synth and vocals that will command a crowd into a drop of driving electro house synths and bass. Like him on Facebook if you haven’t already to speed up the process to the next freebee and be ready for “Metropolis” on Wednesday.
