With yet another visual treatment to accompany “One Way” off his Fear Not Failure mixtape, QuESt is gaining confidence with each release and it’s clear that is translating to more emotion and personality behind the camera. The depth in QuESt’s lyrics is astounding. This is by far the best video I’ve seen to date from the slept on Miami star. With the stars in his reach, I wouldn’t be surprised to see QuESt grasping the world in his hands without conforming to one way.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes, Videos | Caskey – Words [Music Video]

Open your ears to Caskey. Hailing from Orlando, FL, Caskey recently signed with YMCMB presumably before the release of his mixtape, No Complaints. “Words” is my first introduction to Caskey, who takes five minutes to illustrate the significance, or lack of, something we use in everyday conversation. Far too often hip-hop artists find themselves using words in the wrong context. Caskey exercises his ability to shed light on just that, creating what basically translates to a lyric video on steroids. In house producer, Avengerz, enters the track with very faint snaps allowing Caskey to grasp the attention of his audience with his words, before kicking it up to an abstract, trippy melody.

Dubstep, Progressive House, Trance, Videos | EDM Video Round-Up – August 2012
Posted by Spice on August 24, 2012
It has recently come to my attention that a number of important videos have dropped this month and we’ve done virtually nothing to acknowledge them. Well, it ends tonight. First up we’ve got one of the coolest and most innovative things I think I’ve ever seen — the video for Mat Zo’s “The Sky” — which gives you an insane, beautiful, jaw-dropping, stomach-clenching, how-the-hell-did-they-even-get-this-footage look into BASE jumping. This video is mind blowing from start to finish, and the fact that all of the gorgeously filmed madness is set to Mat Zo’s equally gorgeous showstopper of a track makes the entire situation that much better. If you do one thing on Fresh New Tracks tonight, watch this video. It’s absolutely incredible and you won’t regret it.
Moving on: see what Madeon, Zedd, Skrillex, and the rest of the gang have been up to after the jump… READ ON >>

Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Friday
Posted by Sev on June 23, 2012
Thanks to Technique Recordings, I was given the privilege to listen to this EP for almost two weeks now, and I just can not get enough of it. L Plus has put together a masterwork EP that is going to release in two days. Seriously, there are no disappointing tracks on this EP. Even the music video is unique and “Amazing” in itself, just like the Amazing EP. I recommend not sleeping on this one at all if you are a DnB fan. Since it is a Friday night and I am a little late on this post, I am sure you guys are just waiting for the tunes instead of my elegant and appealing descriptions. Given the circumstances I will just let you guys enjoy the tracks and critique them yourselves in the chat box. You guys won’t be so lucky next time though. Enjoy!
