Dubstep | R Rated # 28
Posted by Mach on May 9, 2012
I realize that our past R posts have started with previews and end with the free downloads, that’s not right so this week we are taking R back to front…in fact I decided to screw the previews/purchases and replace them with more free tracks. Kicking off this week is a bomb from Savant. He recently just lost almost everything on his hard drive, including a good portion of his upcoming EP, ‘Overworld.’ This is one of the few saves he was able to make.
Big Chocolate always drops some quality filth. This remix of his is actually trap, but damn does this deserve to be on R.
Every time I see Jay-Z and Kanye I get excited with the hopes it is the Cazzette remix we are all dying for. Well sadly this is not that remix, but then again should I complain?
Woah, VoidDS brought it with this original. This is dope as hell, the kind of track that artists should be remixing. Not that Call Me Somebody That I Used To Know Maybe crap.
I am really loving all these free originals artists are dropping. This one from Skullee is actually a fun track to listen do, and the drop isn’t too shabby either…it’s actually pretty sick.
Sev hit me up with this…wait what, another original? Hell yea, and funky disco glitch at that. AaA is even a little more famous than the others besides Savant. AaA has created some crazy remixes in the past. I was really excited to get to listen to this and it did not disappoint at all.
Electro | Major Lazer – Get Free
Posted by Middy on April 21, 2012
Major Lazer are kind enough to give away this track with a upbeat remix with disco & reggae influences from Bonde do Role. The video fits perfectly with the track with an incredibly chill instrumental with quick, spacey synths, soft percussion and emotive vocals that help carry the melody. Download this gem from Major Lazer at their website below.
Dubstep, Review | Prototypes – Cascade Remixes
Posted by Mach on April 9, 2012
It took them long enough to drop these remixes, I mean I have had Cutline’s remix for over a year now and now it releases. At this point I believe everyone has Cutline’s remix, but the honorable mention of these remixes has to be Wickaman’s remix now. Gives the impression like Bassnectar has an alter-ego now. That just happens to not be the case, but I really like the mellow bass-line Wickaman laid out for this remix. Both remixes are sick, it just depends what kind of dubstep style you like more, dirty or chill.
Dubstep, Hip-Hop | Bassnectar – Vava Voom (Ft. Lupe Fiasco)
Posted by Mach on March 26, 2012
Today Bassnectar and Lupe Fiasco dropped their collaboration single off of Bassnectar’s upcoming album, ‘Vava Voom.’ The album art (below) is a trippy play with the lettering, took me a few minutes to figure out the working of the letters…not that I didn’t know it says ‘Vava Voom.’ Lupe joined up with Bassnectar last summer to do Bass Island in NY, which I did not have the chance to go to, but I am sure it is what sparked this sick collaboration. The way they have set up obtaining this track is you have to pre-order the album, kind of sucks, but we don’t make the rules. ‘Vava Voom’ drops April 10th.

Hip-Hop | OnCue-New Religion
Posted by ATexas on March 12, 2012
Party anthem raps are like, kind of catchy and hot right now. OnCue burst onto the scene in 2011 and he’s continuing right into 2012 with this high energy spit. The beat is, listenable nothing to write home about, but if you listen to the lyrics the kid is pretty f-ing witty. YOLO themed raps aren’t going anywhere apparently.

House | Fedde Le Grand – So Much Love (Deniz Koyu Remix)
Posted by Sev on February 10, 2012
Middy being the kind person he is, didn’t want to keep this from you guys any longer. He was in the process of writing it until something came up, so he told me to take over. I’m no Middy, but I’ll do my best. Fedde Le Grand nor this song need an introduction. We have all heard this House anthem being rinsed out by all the big names in House music. Voted by Fedde himself as “Breakthrough DJ/Producer 2011”, Deniz Koyu absolutely smashed this remix. The build up and progression throughout this track put you in a state of euphoria, not to mention the appealing synths and progressive leads. Although the original has a more jump-up club feel to it, this remix is right up there with it.
Videos | Rick Ross – Yella Diamonds
Posted by GMONEY on February 8, 2012
I don’t care what you kids at home who still live with their parents who listen to Lil Wayne religiously think, Rick Ross is the hottest MC in the world right now. The New Yorker recently said of the bawse:
“What matters is not the rap sheet but the rhyme, and the spin the m.c. can give to the trade. Ross’s success in mimicking drug lords has brought him the ability to live like one of them. Profiles have documented his large homes, his fleet of cars, his shopping sprees at watch stores, his solicitous entourage and flexible schedule. Ross may represent the final abandonment of hip-hop’s mandate to “keep it real,” a concept that goes by different names now but has not gone away. Perhaps listeners know that this is a version of “Miami Vice,” a show that Ross claims to have been inspired by. The appeal is less some kind of documentary thrill than Ross’s ability to transmit the confidence that comes from blithely running up roaming fees while driving a Rolls-Royce through Samoa.”
Basically, the New York Times is saying Rick Ross is a big ole’ phony with a perfect correctional officer attendance record. How can you blame them. It’s all true. That doesn’t matter though. Like all good pop music, rap is now theatre, and Rick Ross is simply playing a character. If you didn’t pick up “Rich Forever” the first time I encourage you to do so – as it will inevitably make you feel like you could be the biggest drug dealer in the world.
