Dubstep | R Rated #41
Posted by Sev on August 8, 2012
This first track for R Rated is provided courtesy of SKisM. Although it doesn’t categorize exactly as dubstep, it instead is more glitch/moombahcore, but still heavy enough to be considered in this weeks R Rated. SKisM always keeps it fresh with his tracks and giving away his second installment of the ‘Division’ Series today was a good start to the day. The actual release is on August 20th accompanied by a remix from drum & bass producer TC. Both tracks definitely pack a punch so be on the lookout for the release.
Moxix unleashed this heavy bass filled banger only a few days and it clearly hasn’t been getting the recognition it deserves. Mach and I had a mutual understanding that this track would not be left out R Rated this week, because it is one of those heavy bangers that is given away for free every so often. The quiet intro and build up can be deceiving to what actually takes place during the drop, so be prepared.
Trolley Snatcha released a free EP this week through Scion AV covering dubstep as well as some UK garage tracks. This collaboration with Foreign Beggars definitely turned out to be my favorites on the EP, as well as probably the heaviest track featured on the EP. I had a feeling we wouldn’t exactly be seeing the best he had to offer being that it was a free EP, but it wasn’t a lost cause. You can download the rest of the EP if you are interested along with this track through Scion AV HERE.
I was pretty surprised after I strolled through my Soundcloud to hear this freebie promoting the release of Doctrine’s free EP. I went in listening to this track with no expectations and I found myself bobbing my head and feeling this track all the way throughout. Although we hear the typical “Yoy” modern talking synths and the Flux Pavillion high pitched leads the combination of all of them turned out pretty well in this track. Although the rest of the EP wasn’t too enticing to me personally I still recommend that everyone take a listen anyways, which can be found in the Soundcloud description along with the free DL.

Dubstep | Benga – Icon / I Will Never Change (Pixel Fist Remix)
Posted by Sev on June 24, 2012
Benga unleashing his latest single today entitled Icon, alongside a remix of his unique styled track I Will Never Change that has finally hit the iTunes shelves. Kind of following the theme of I Will Never Change and sticking to his roots, Benga provides us with another old-school styled dubstep track that we would have expected from him a few years back. Not giving into this new heavier style of dubstep which has emerged over the past year and taken over the scene, but keeping it tasteful with a hint of UK garage splattered throughout the track. On the other hand, alongside his single he decided it was time for the world to get a taste of Pixel Fist’s remix to I Will Never Change, which takes the mellow track and cranks up the filth to destroy crowds wherever it is heard. After previewing it a few months ago there had been some anticipation building up as to when this remix would be released, so it was nice to see Benga being mindful about how long it took for the remix to come out. Unfortunately you can only purchase his single on the UK iTunes right now, but it should be available in the US sometime this week. So if you can, grab it off of the UK iTunes HERE.

Dubstep | Emeli Sandé – My Kind of Love (Gemini Remix)
Posted by Sev on June 11, 2012
The amazingly talented Gemini is back at it again with another one of his famous piano-influenced, melodic dubstep remixes. Consistently producing top level remixes and originals that are sure to elevate you out of this world; this new one completes the task. Not over exhausting us with the heavy grime that so many artist proceed to convey, Gemini stays true to his own style through almost all of his tracks. The only downfall is that this is currently a UK release, but I couldn’t hold off on it. Stay tuned for info about Gemini’s album as well which is currently in the making. You can get this track on the UK iTunes HERE.
Drum & Bass | RoughMath – The Rain
Posted by Spice on June 11, 2012
UK producer RoughMath brings us some heavy drumstep on this Monday afternoon. I love the dark vibe and the catchy, agile synthwork that cuts in after the drop, and am also really feeling the way that chopped vocal sample complements the builds. In short, this track is a banger. Head over to Roughmath’s Facebook page to get the free download.
Dubstep | Xilent Remixes
Posted by Mach on April 17, 2012
Two new top notch remixes from Xilent, what could be better? At this point nothing really. I debating posting up the originals of these as well, but they just cannot compare to what Xilent prepared for us. This first remix sounds like something Gemini would spoil our ears with. The vocal editing is great, makes them match the crunchy melodic drop is the best of ways. For me the original was just too simple sounding, even for a house track. I really am enjoying the trend of dubstep artists remixing house tracks.

I absolutely love the vocals on this next remix. The original used them in an entirely different way that didn’t seem to compliment the track enough in my opinion. Xilent is dominating right now, releasing one amazing track after another. I use to be a hater, but with tracks like this how could I allow myself to be? Sadly this remix is only out in the UK…thank god for google.
Dubstep | Benga – I Will Never Change
Posted by Sev on March 20, 2012
One of the original dons of dubstep has released another one of his big tunes. There is only one problem, you can only get this on the UK iTunes. As much as I hate to tease you guys like this, I hope you have a friend in the UK who can help you out. If not I’m sure there are other ways to obtain this deep tune (*cough* internet *cough*). Nevertheless the track title says it all and Benga sticks with what got him to this point and that is respect worthy. If you want to see this bad man while he is touring in the US you can find the dates HERE.

Dubstep, Review | Eyes & Ryan Keen – Tonight EP
Posted by Mach on March 9, 2012
The previews for this EP were only released 10 days ago. I am so glad we didn’t have to wait a couple months for this release. Eyes is currently an unsigned producer, but has done tracks for labels such as Mau5trap, Rub-A-Duck, and now this release under Quantum. Ryan Keen is a rising vocalist from the UK, only having been featured on a few big artist titles, he has a lot of his own original work. The two are a dynamic duo on this track. Eyes’ beat is smooth and flawless, combined with Ryan Keen’s incredible vocals, this track becomes an emotion itself. I love the acoustic synth that Eyes breaks in with, only to transfer into deep strings that really take off with the track. Ryan Keen’s vocals truly make this one amazing track to remix, Titchimoto’s remix utilizes the power of his vocals. He maintains the original smoothness, but almost maks the track ballad like with the electric guitar thrown in. What would be a dubstep EP if there wasn’t a track that tried to knock your socks off. Honestly, Urban Knights remix surprised me. It starts out smooth just like the others, and you think the track drops at one point and it sounds like he threw in some dirty bass sounds, but never really does anything. Of course you hit a point where the build up is intense, then boom… Hope everyone enjoys this EP just as much at I did. Below is the free remix InContext dropped that we previously posted.
