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.

Dubstep | Rameses B – I Need You (feat. Charlotte Haining)
Posted by Spice on March 8, 2012
While I’m currently going through a seriously grimy DnB phase, I’m still a huge sucker for melodic, lyrical dubstep and it’s pretty much no secret. Adventure Club? Done. Blackmill? Yes please. Accordingly, I was very excited to come across “I Need You” this afternoon, as Rameses B absolutely nails the romantic side of the genre. The wistful, breathless vocals, raindrop-esque synths, and lush chord progressions make this beautiful track a must listen. “I Need You” is available for purchase on UK iTunes (chafey.) and some website I’ve never heard of called “Juno” that…well, at least looks legit. Check it out below.

Hip-hop might not be as good as it use to be in the US, but I think the UK does a crazy job keeping it alive. I mean sure up and comers aren’t doing half a bad job like Logic, Kinetics, not Mac Miller (kid needs some new subject matter), and not Sam Adams (No offense Sam. I love your tunes, but hip-pop isn’t hip-hop). Hip-hop isn’t just rhyming because you can, otherwise you would see my name up on this post. Countless people telling me they just listen to hip-hop beats now, thats half the track what about the rest of it? You have to have a good flow and a decent story to tell. Love that grimy feel you get from the UK rappers like what you get from this Aspects track, enjoy.

Hip-Hop | Elite, J. Cole, Tinie Tempah
Posted by Grubeats on November 30, 2011
Fresh off the release of his eye and ear opening mixtape, Awaken, Elite gives us a cut that didn’t quite make the cut for the mixtape. I’m still completely blown away by the mixtape and it’s definitely among one of my favorite projects of 2011. Expect more singles and bonus tracks dropping over the next several weeks and don’t expect Elite to slow down anytime soon. The second track here is one which Elite featured a spot on D1‘s record. D1’s smooth vocals coupled with Elite’s percussion backed verse make this another joint you don’t want to sleep on.

In addition to the above cuts from Dreamvillian, Elite, J. Cole recently featured on UK artist, Tinie Tempah’s single. The track features another British artist, Wretch 32, and it’s not the first time we’ve heard from Cole and Tinie.

Dubstep | Nadia Ali, Starkillers & Alex Kenji – Pressure (Zomboy Remix)
Posted by Mach on November 21, 2011
The moment every dubstep lover has been waiting for has arrived. Special thanks to T and his boy from the UK for the hookup. For those of you that don’t know, Zomboy has only been producing and DJing since this past January. He graduated school with a degree in mechanical engineering, he decided one day that instead of helping create the DJ equipment we see now, he was going to use it. One hell of story from one of the genres now biggest players. I don’t think I need to introduce this remix, it’s awesome.

Bootleg | DJ Falcon & Thomas Bangalter – Together – NAPT Bootleg Mix
Posted by Sev on November 17, 2011
This track sounds like it could be a collaboration between Daft Punk and Justice, but it’s not. Although Daft Punk had a little mash of the vocals in there Alive 2007 live album, it is a bootleg remix from a duo that resides in the UK known as NAPT. This style of funk/electro is like sex in your ears to say the least. Everyone should check this track out and show them some love on FACEBOOK.
