Dubstep, Electro | Popeska
Posted by Spice on February 7, 2012
We’ve featured this talented up-and-comer here before, but it’s time to devote an entire post to him because let’s face it: the kid is good. Popeska is a 19 year-old producer from ATL and has a real knack for putting out tracks that are are both heavy and melodic. What more can you ask for?
“Super Best Friends” features an insanely catchy hook that slams right into a heavy, glitchy drop. Advance warning, if I see your face on the ground at any point during this song I’m just going to kick it to the side.

“Electricks Theme” is another wobbly banger; don’t be deceived by the chill beginning, as it picks up steam with the addition of some serious percussion and driving synths. Like many of Popeska’s songs, it also features a varied and interesting melody, which further demonstrates that this kid really knows his stuff.

This next song is a total 180 from the previous two. Quite honestly, it caught me totally caught off guard the first time I listened — the intensity and raw emotion of the vocals (which come in glitchy, a cappella waves that will give you chills) hit me very hard. “I Wish” is probably one of the most unique and powerful songs I’ve heard in a while; the only thing I can think of that’s at all similar is “Hide and Seek” by Imogen Heap…and that’s obviously serious business.

I highly, highly recommend that you download “I Wish,” but since it’s not exactly the kind of thing you’ll want to blast in the car on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, you should check out the retooled version Popeska threw together as well. This VIP chops the vocals and adds a synth-heavy, melody-driven background that’s substantially more upbeat than the original but maintains just enough heavy intensity.

And in case you missed it the first time around….be sure to download “We Can Dance,” Popeska’s awesome moombahcore banger.

Dubstep | Jayglo – Surprise!
Posted by Mach on January 27, 2012
This track was posted up on Inspected Records youtube a few days ago. Silently, Jayglo posted a random link on his facebook this morning with the 320 kbps download for it. The track has a funky dubstep vibe to it, reminds me of the kind of work that KOAN Sound does. It’s always nice to see artists steer away from the generic dubstep sound. Got to make that Jayglo, haha.

EDIT: Video now added.
Moving throughout the day, caught in a distraction anywhere but here, finally you reach that moment in this track. Alan’s Right is off Terence Ryan’s upcoming EP entitled – Skeleton. There’s the kind of Hip Hop you like, and there’s the kind of Hip Hop you love. If you know me, you know I love this.

Trance, Videos | Trance Tuesday
Posted by Middy on January 10, 2012
I apologize for not posting last week as I was moving out for my study abroad so I could not do it, but I am back this week with some great tracks. Above is a video that Gareth Emery was kind enough to give away of his 5 HOUR set at the Warehouse Project in Manchester on December 26th. The video shows just how powerful a trance set can be and how great a live Dj he is seamlessly mixing genres with house and trance, and even sprinkles of dub. In this post are a bunch of selections from the giant Anjunabeats and Enhanced Recordings, which is becoming one of the leaders in uplifting trance.
Ost & Meyer deliver with this track that was featured on Anjunabeats Vol 9. It has everything you expect from Anjunabeats, uplifting synths, scintillating piano riffs and a great trance bass line. The Dan Stone remix of “Scarlet Love” adds a little extra to the original with a sublime synth drop at around 2 minutes and some more bass to the overall song. Get them on BEATPORT.

This is yet another song from Anjunabeats Vol 9 that is simply outstanding. This track’s synth work is top notch from the build to the drop and is great trance for any EDM lover. Get it on BEATPORT.
DOWNLOAD: Mike Koglin vs. Genix – Dyno (Original Mix)
Boom Jinx & Daniel Kandi deliver on this track with a sensitive melody with a smooth reverbed synth overlay and that signature trance bass and kick line. Get it on BEATPORT.

Tomas Heredia does a great job with this remix with a long build and a smooth violin based break into an uptempo pitched synth drop that you hear so much on Armada. Get it on BEATPORT.

What’s that, another banger? Here’s a “I can’t stop partying to this” kind of song from FNT’s very own Kap Slap.

Dubstep | Karton – Chase It High (Cutline Remix)
Posted by Sev on December 16, 2011
Cutline’s remix of Chase it High has finally surfaced and it couldn’t have come any sooner. This track was an instant favorite after I heard it on UKF with its sick basslines and nice vocals. Hopefully Cutline keeps banging out releases like these because I can’t see myself getting tired of these kind of tracks.
