House | Axwell – Center Of The Universe (Remode)
Posted by Middy on May 30, 2013
He is back. After 2 years of no single releases, we finally have something from the man, the myth, the legend, Axwell. One of the giants in house music, he takes his time perfecting every little detail in his tracks and it shows not only in release rate, but also the quality that is seen in his discography.
“Center of the Universe” has been in circulation for several years now and the anticipation and excitement for it has not dwindled since the day it was first played to the public. With the remode of this potent track, Axwell goes for the pool party vibe, with a nuanced, well crafted true-to-the-name house approach, stripping the track of its big melody and concentrating on the groove and a delicate piano melody. There is no word on when the original will be released, but I cannot wait until then. I personally am more of a fan of the original, but the remode will be just fine until that day, whenever it may come.

Dubstep, House, Review | Culprate – The Great Expedition EP
Posted by Mach on May 27, 2013
This has to be one of the best EPs of 2013. Culprate is one of the most underrated artists in the EDM world, and the fact that the main population has not caught on to his music is disappointing. Culprate kicks off his EP with an epic melody of bass. “Scarred” has been sitting in his arsenal for a while now and once fans discovered he was finally releasing it, everyone went nuts, myself included. Dubstep currently is one of the most disappointing genres in electronic music, but it is artists like Culprate and tracks like “Scarred” that give me hope. His second track “Eddys” shows the abstract side of bass music that Cuprate can’t seem to stay away from. I will agree it’s not for everyone, but it is something worth dipping your ears into. Continuing the abstract flow, “Talk To Frank” is definitely one of my favorites from this EP. Maksim spits better than I have ever heard him before and the fact the instrumentals aren’t the easiest to lay his grimy verses over makes this a truly insane tune.
There is an interesting story behind the track “McFunk”, it is actually 1 of 4 collaborations Culprate did with the duo, Torqux. By the time the tracks were completed, Culprate took this incredible funky House tune and let the duo keep the other 3 tracks, what guy. Makes you wonder though, what do the other 3 soound like? When it comes to Dubstep and Midtempo styled bass music, Cuprate takes the win often, but this last track on the EP was something that I don’t think his fans even expected to hear. Collaborating with Addergebroed, Culprate layed out some of the best Techno I have heard in a long time. “Reboot” is exactly what it’s named, it is the revival of one of the most legendary genres. If this track doesn’t inspire more artists to look back at Techno, then it may in fact finally be outdated, but for now just enjoy the greatness.
All in all, this EP is absolutely amazing. I would love to see Culprate top charts with this, he is more than deserving with these great productions.

Posted by Jess on May 10, 2013
Less than two weeks after the release of his debut EP, Vision, Feature Cuts is back with a remix of Empire Of The Sun’s new single “Alive”. Keeping the amazing vocals and upbeat synths of the original and accelerating it while adding a catchy bassline, Feature Cuts creates a track that you can either chill and vibe to or party and groove to. The track is more of an experimental track from Feature Cuts as he states that he “definitely experimented with a bunch of technical aspects of processing and sound design when I approached this project” and from the sound of it he succeeded on all counts. Watch the video above for the remix and download it for free below.
