Progressive House | Teqq vs Alive&Kicking – Mistake
Posted by Mel on August 26, 2013
Teqq and Alive&Kicking are both producers who I don’t know much about. Teqq is from Germany and Alive&Kicking is American as far as I can tell. That’s really all I know. W8, back in the day when he was into this genre first shared Teqq with me and I have been keeping an eye on him since. “Mistake”, his latest release is in collaboration with the aforementioned Alive&Kicking and I think his best work yet.

Chill, Trap | Johnny Rain – Mulholland Drive (OZZIE Remix)
Posted by BP on July 31, 2013
OZZIE has categorized this track as “sleep” genre, which I think doesn’t do it justice. Although it’s peaceful, it’s also very well crafted. A haunting, trapped out background showcases Johnny Rain’s vocals to create a mesmerizing track. I think the highlight of the track is about three minutes in, when OZZIE adds even more layers to the vocals. It’s trippy, mellow, beyond ear pleasing, and up for free!
Dubstep | Konec – Y2K
Posted by Sev on July 18, 2013
Konec has been a machine lately when it comes to releasing music. Unlike other artist who tend to sit on a track for months at a time, Konec holds no barred with his releases, which is a good thing in my opinion. Go ahead and classify this tracks genre however you want, for all I care you can call it neurotrapstep, but it is a quality tune. This fusion of multiple styles in one track is what gives it a flavor of its own and separates it from the rest. Konec seems to be starting this new trend of four to floor 140bpm tracks. Although we don’t see it in this track, if you check out the mix he did for BassCollective(linked below) you can definitely see it in his new unreleased stuff along with his released track ‘Railgun’ . Either way grab this free download along with mix from the links below.

House, Preview | Disclosure – F For You (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Remix) [Preview]
Posted by Spice on July 16, 2013
Mark my words: 2013 will go down as the summer of Disclosure. Settle has already taken the blogosphere/world by storm, so it’s not terribly surprising that high profile remixes are beginning to pop up.
With “F For You,” the consummate niche-occupier/genre-defier better known as TEED takes an already great song and ramps it up about seven levels. Where Disclosure’s original is tight, polished, and crisp to a fault, TEED’s is spacey, a bit dark, and hypnotically stripped down. Damn. I might like this more than the original, and I like the original quite a bit. Keep your eyes peeled for a release date — not shocking/almost fitting that this went up without one.
Drum & Bass, Dubstep | I Am Legion – Make Those Moves
Posted by Mach on July 15, 2013
I am really excited to finally get to post this epic download from Noisia and the Foreign Beggars’ collaboration project, I Am Legion. This track has been owning my ears for weeks now and finally we can all have a good quality copy of it to blast through our speakers. “Make Those Moves” is the first Neuro-hop track we have heard from Noisia and I have to say it will definitely set the bar for the next generation of bass producers. Dubstep will soon take a backseat to this Hip-Hop and Neuro-funk infused genre.

Indie, Progressive House | Smallpools – Dreaming (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on June 28, 2013
The Chainsmokers are back with another remix. Surprisingly, I wasn’t that big a fan of their previous remix but I really enjoy this one. It seems they have carved out their own sub genre of progressive house mixed with indie and they do it well. For their latest project they took to remixing Smallpools’ “Dreaming” and they’ve done so in their typical fashion. This may be one of my favorites of theirs.
