Hip-Hop, Videos | Terence Ryan — Whiskey Citizen [Music Video]
Posted by jeffwbaird on November 19, 2013
It’s been almost two years since I first heard “Alan’s Right”, and was instantly made aware of the tremendous talent this man possesses. Sure, it’s extremely rare to find an artist (especially at his age) who has learned to expertly produce, mix, rap, sing, and write—but more so, it’s the fact that he has also managed to create a completely distinctive and unrepeatable sound. A sound that certainly was influenced by everything from indie singer-songwriters to underground hip-hop, yet it mimics nothing. With every new release I’m able to see the progress in his production, writing, and his ear—with each release more melodic, more honest, and deeper than the last. He’s been extremely hard at work this year creating what will be “The Revival” album, and today we receive the first release. It’s catchy, yet it resonates, and bares an amount of heart and maturity that we rarely see today. To classify him into any genre would be doing him a disservice, so just check out the song, and appreciate it for the engrossing music that it is.
Electro-House | DubVision – Rifler
Posted by Middy on November 18, 2013
It is always a great day when we have a release from DubVision. They are more known for their more melodic tracks like “Redux” and their remix of “Committed To Sparkle Motion”, but here they show, you shouldn’t pigeonhole them into one sound. The track maintains the same melodic stamina that we have seen in the past from the Dutch duo, noticeably seen in the break, however they add an edginess to it with the growling synths that set this apart from other DubVision tracks.
It is great to see these two evolve their sound and branch out from their melodic style that they had become so adept at, but some aspects were growing a little repetitive.

Dubstep, Electronic | Felix Cartal feat. Ofelia – New Scene (CRNKN Remix)
Posted by BP on November 14, 2013
It’s always a pleasure to hear a new CRNKN song. CRNKN’s remix of “New Scene” by Felix Cartal feat. Ofelia is some pretty chill work. It could maybe be considered melodic dubstep, or just electronic. The vocals by Ofelia are very pretty, and the melody in this track is outstanding. This is out on Dim Mak Records and luckily is free to download!
Dubstep | Skrux – Being Human ft. Mona Moua

Here is more fantastic work from Skrux. This dubstep tune has a great melody, and really ear pleasing vocals. If you’re into uplifting tracks that can really take you deep inside your mind, this is a good track for you. The lyrics are pretty cool too. Skrux has produced some quality melodic dubstep here, and it’s out for free!

Dubstep | Lorde – Royals (Dotcom Remix)
Posted by Juicebox on November 7, 2013
OH LORDE! If you listen to the radio, chances are you hate the original version of this song by now. If you’re one of the smart ones who uses Spotify or Pandora, you might just still enjoy this one. Either way, Dotcom is here to make your countdown to the weekend fly by just a bit quicker with this heavy hitting remix of Lordes “Royals.” Dotcom has burst onto the dubstep scene with his melodic remixes and weekly releases known as “Dotcom Dubdays.” The kid is a future star, so don’t sleep on this one.
Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Seven Lions On Taking Time Off From Touring, Upcoming Productions And More
Posted by Middy on November 6, 2013
There aren’t many guys who have created trends and styles in dance music today. Seven Lions’ patented brand of melodic dubstep has quickly become one of the go-to styles for a throng of copycats and established producers alike. After transitioning from metal to electronic music, Jeff Montalvo made his presence felt in a huge way with his Beatport competition winning remix of Above & Beyond’s “You Got To Go”, that would launch his career and open doors that were not even on possible for him to reach before.
We caught up with Seven Lions on his tour bus before he was slated to go on at Pier 94 on Halloween with Krewella, Gareth Emery, Candyland and Cash Cash. We chatted about his upcoming plans, including taking time off from touring next year, touring in general, releases he has coming up, music piracy and much more.

We can always expect greatness from PatrickReza. This new track called “Take Me Away (featuring Jilian)” is right on point. It’s PatrickReza’s usual style – melodic dubstep. The vocals are smooth and ear pleasing, as are the rising and falling synths. Grab it on Facebook if you’re a fan!
