Progressive House | Michael Woods – Platinum Chains
Posted by Middy on March 11, 2013
Making his return to Calvin Harris led Fly Eye Records, Michael Woods presents his first single of the year “Platinum Chains”. Michael Woods starts with fluttering key play and crescendoes into a signature big room drop you have come to expect from him in the past few years, finding a way to make good use of stutters without overdoing it. The UK producer has quietly been making tracks that have been staples of top Dj sets from several years now and “Platinum Chains” could add to that growing list.
Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electronic | Koven – More Than You EP
Posted by Sev on March 3, 2013
Koven, formerly known as Coven, have just released their newest EP, which consists of one of the greatest releases of the year by far. After my first listen to the release I knew that this EP needed to be more than just a post about the release. So with a little bit of help we were able to ask the duo some questions about music and how it all started, which you can find by reading on below. Besides the two originals on the EP from Koven are two remixes; one from DC Breaks and the other from Roughmath, which are both amazing in their own manner. The title track, More Than You, is the perfect blend of emotion and heaviness into one power packed song. It isn’t an easy task to create such an emotional piece by an artist and also be able to incorporate their flavor of grime as well, but this duo showed us exactly how it needs to be done. Their second track No Blocks seems to be more along the lines of the neuro/glitchy style of dubstep that artist such as Koan Sound, or Reso create so often. Either way this EP contains some great tracks from all sides of the spectrum and is a must have. Don’t forget to click ‘Read On’ to check out our interview with Koven, and also a big thank you to Viper Recordings for helping make that happen.

Progressive House | Jakob Liedholm – Ocean, Eli, Beautiful (Remix)
Posted by Mel on February 21, 2013
Jakob Liedholm, one of our artists to watch in 2013, recently hit 10000 likes on Facebook and as way of saying thanks, he has given away three of his tracks for free. Keeping consistent with his signature style, all three of these tracks are the type of cheerful, uplifting tunes that you would come to expect from him. Ranging from the unique use of guitar throughout “Eli”, to the high energy build in his and Tim Norell’s remix of Parker Ighile’s “So Beautiful”, to the amazing, bigroom drop in “Ocean”, these are all must listens. If you enjoyed any of these tracks be sure to give him a like on Facebook if you haven’t already.

Hip-Hop | OCD: Moosh & Twist – All Alright
Posted by LoffyG on February 19, 2013
Moosh & Twist just let this new track loose off their upcoming mixtape, “Back To The Basement”, which is set to hit your speakers on March 12th. Sampling “All Alright” by FUN., the guys come with a sound that’s much different than their previous releases. They even use a bit of auto-tune by the sounds of it, but not in a way that is over-the-top. I’m looking forward to hearing the entire project, as well as catching them on the Up To No Good Tour that cracks off this Thurday with Huey Mack! Grab tickets using the link below!
Electro | The Presets – Fail Epic (Owl Vision Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 17, 2013
Owl Vision delivers another hot Electro remix. It is cool to see how the track progresses into heavier Electro as it goes on. The long smooth intro is a nice touch for making good use of the vocals. Too bad this wasn’t out on friday because it would have been my track of the weekend.
Dubstep | R-Rated #63
Posted by Sev on February 7, 2013
F3tch is not a highly known artist for most people, but take my word he is no amateur. Coming off of a EP release just a few months back he is still continuing on with the dark, heavy vibes that gave off through that EP. This freebie has a great use of samples and stays true to his dark style. Grab the free download HERE.
Jphelpz is another artist that stays true to the dark style of dubstep as well, and also just had a new EP released. This guy cranks out tunes like crazy, so if you are into his style I would suggest giving him a follow because he has plenty of tunes out and plenty on the way.
Oscillator Z has made a few appearances on R rated before, but he has been MIA for a while. It seems as though he was feeling very generous this week because he gay away two crazy bootlegs. The first is of Downlink – Gamma Ray Burst and the second is of Genetix – Squid Attack.
Trap | Justin Timberlake – Suit & Tie feat. JAY-Z (Chris Hurst Remix)
Posted by Mach on January 17, 2013
I am definitely a Trap hater, there is no use me hiding from that truth. When I post Trap, I have no doubt it is a track I enjoy, the same could be said for everything else I post. Justin Timberlake’s new track “Suit & Tie” has gotten a lot of publicity since its release with record high sales predictions. Chris Hurst delivers one of the sexiest Trap productions I have heard, making the orignal actually enjoyable. Chris Hurst deserves to pat himself on the back for this one.
Update: Soundcloud removed the original upload of this remix. Chris Hurst re-uploaded it with an addition to the intro so not to be flagged again by Soundcloud, in case you were wondering if we just trolled you.
