Dubstep, Electro, Hip-Hop, RnB | Re:generation Project: DJ Premier, Crystal Method, Pretty Lights, & Skrillex
Posted by Mach on October 28, 2011
It only made sense to do an entire post dedicated to the project. Seeing as not only did the Skrillex collaberation with The Doors drop, but so did the other tracks off the Re:generation Project, minus Mark Ronson’s contribution which hasn’t been posted yet. I would like to note that all available mp3s of these tracks online are in fact rips from the Re:generation Project videos on youtube. This is because no actual digital copies of the tracks have been released or leaked yet.
DJ Premier isn’t one of my favorites, but after an amazing track like this one, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did some more classical/hip-hop blends.

Don’t let Crystal Method’s name deter you from listening. This track is one of the funkiest electro-rock tracks I have ever heard.
DOWNLOAD: Crystal Method – I’m Not Leaving (Ft. Martha Reeves and The Funk Brothers)
I refuse to lie. I am one of the few people to tell you that every mp3 you find right now of these, despite what quality it may say, is in fact a rip from youtube. I will also say that this track isn’t that good. Pretty Light’s Country Roads remix was a much better interpretation showing the blend of electro and country.

Last but not least (until Mark Ronson drops his gem) is Skrillex and The Doors. Probably the most anticipated track of the 5. As some noticed at the end of the video above, the video does in fact end in a second collaboration The Doors and Skrillex have done. No news yet on its name or release date.

Dubstep | DubRocca, Griz, Paradigm, Proper Villains, and Coven
Posted by Mach on October 24, 2011
Over the past few days the dubstep has just been building up in my library. I figured this would be a good time to just unload all the dirty dubstep I have accumulated.
Vocals sound sick on this smooth heavy beat.
DOWNLOAD: Maverick Sabre – I Need (DubRocca Remix)
Sounds like something Pretty Lights would drop, a lot of people starting to adopt his style.
DOWNLOAD: Griz – Wheres The Love
A lot going on in this track, but in no way is that a bad thing.
DOWNLOAD: Baron Von Alias ft Foreign Beggars & Eliza Lawson – Overload (Paradigm Remix)
Consecutive dirty tracks dropped from Proper Villains with hot female vocals. Expecting a lot more from them in the future.
DOWNLOAD: Havana Brown Ft Pitbull – We Run The Night (Proper Villains Remix)
This track defines filth.

Electro | Madeon – Icarus (Teaser Video) & Electro Essentials Announcement
Posted by Mach on October 12, 2011
Kids these days… no really, kids these days seem to be jumping into music production. Producing tunes is the new in, and young artists, such as Madeon, are rising fast. The video is a teaser that was filmed over the summer in Paris. Probably the coolest way to share a preview of a new track. The track Icarus has no official release date yet. I have heard rumors that it is being featured on Nintendo’s upcoming remake of Kid Icarus. I highly doubt that though, considering Madeon isn’t old enough to know what it is. It is unofficial currently, but Madeon is supposed to have an EP dropping before the end of the year. Heard something different or don’t agree? Share in the comments. Below I have provided a few tracks of Madeon’s for those of you who are unfamiliar with his work.

Essentials Announcement
Middy and myself have spent the past few days working on the next essentials list for everyone. The goal has been to work together so as to make the choices less biased and truly be essentials to your ears. This Electro list features artists such as Madeon, Feed Me, Pretty Lights, and Spencer & Hill. With only a little more work to do to complete the list, Middy and I plan to release this bad boy this coming Tuesday, Oct. 18th. Expect news on the Hip-Hop, House, and Party essentials soon.
Events | Identity Festival [Hollywood] Review
Posted by Juicebox on September 19, 2011
With a last minute venue change, a decent lineup, and the most anticipated stop of Identity the following day…Identity Hollywood still managed to deliver. Despite it’s traditional use of indoor performances, The Palladium actually worked extremely well by turning the back parking lot into massive outdoor arena. Everyone performed as expected except for one artist who completely blew us away…hit the jump for all the details. For all of you that we promised to upload your pictures to, you can find them here.

Dubstep | Pretty Lights – I Know The Truth
Posted by GMONEY on September 13, 2011
After playing this track at Bonnaroo over the summer, Pretty Lights has finally dropped this bomb. I don’t really know what to say about this, other than you need it. NOW

Electro, Hip-Hop | New From The Pretty Lights Music Label: Paul Basic & SuperVision
Posted by Mach on September 3, 2011
After the addition of Gramatik to the Pretty Lights Music Label, they have added two more to announce the release of new albums. Paul Basic drops a new track with samples from the ever famous “Daydream,” made more famous by Lupe Fiasco. SuperVision gives us a great instrumental track, with the classic style Pretty Lights is famous for. I would like to point out that everyone under this label sounds the same, slightly disappointing but only the future will tell us if they can be original with it. Paul Basic’s album “The Mirror” and SuperVisions album “Telescopic” both release on September 27th. Check out these guys and the rest of Pretty Lights music crew on their WEBSITE.

Electro | Pretty Lights – Pretty Lights vs. Led Zeppelin
Posted by Middy on August 25, 2011
Wow Pretty Lights hit this one out of the park. He sampled 7 different songs from my favorite band of all time and added that vintage Pretty Lights sound to it. It is a ridiculous remix and the visuals in the video are awesome as well. Sound off in the comments to name all of the Led Zeppelin samples.
