Events | EDC New York Venue & Dates Announced
Posted by Middy on January 31, 2013
On the road to Insomniac’s flagship event, EDC Las Vegas, Electric Daisy Carnival will return to New York for its second year, but this time with a change of scenery. EDC New York will move from Metlife Stadium at the Meadowlands to Citi Field, where people suffer through Mets games. It will take place Friday May 17 and Saturday May 18th, a departure from the 3 day format from last year and what is usually seen with EDC. Not sure why there was the change, but it is pretty disappointing seeing as Friday will probably start late and both dates will almost surely end at 11pm, so you really only have 1.5 days. Insomniac knows what it is doing, but the parking lot at Citi Field is not as big as it is at Metlife Stadium, so it will be interesting to see the layout of the stages. Tickets go on sale February 8th at 12pm EST and will be $159 for GA two day passes and $299 VIP two day passes. More info at the EDC website.
Moombahton | Craze – Selekta! (VIP)
Posted by Mach on December 25, 2012
World famous, DJ Craze decided to jump in on the Christmas spirit and give away his VIP of his release, “Selekta!” I am not one to be bumping out to Moombahton, but this track really hits my funky bone. Yes, I mean funky.
Dubstep | Seven Lions – Isis (VIP)

Heard a 3 minute clip of this VIP about a month back, since it basically vanished from the public’s memory. This is incredible, Seven Lions made this a Merry Christmas indeed.
Dubstep | R Rated #53
Posted by Mach on October 31, 2012
Fuck yes (yea I swore, grow a pair). Buygore comes out with an ear-raper every once in a while, today Sev delivers their next. I am familiar with the original but had no idea a VIP existed (VIP=Variation In Production). This track is nuts, it is the definition of R Rated. It releases November 12th on Buygore Records.
Well, today is Halloween, why not kick off R with an epic Halloween freebie. RUN DMT made my ear hurt on this one.
At Dawn We Rage has always been providers, but as their most recent release shows, heavy bass is not out of their reach. This track goes hard but in a way that says, “fuck you, we can do whatever we want.” Ah, music to my ears.
Clart Kent just released his epic collaboration with Oscar Daniels last week of their remix of “Skyfall.” Today he again collaborates on an epic, laser filled remix. “Too Close” has been over played on the radio, but that doesn’t mean artists can’t turn it into something new. Well, here it is, the new, heavy, lasered, “Too Close.”
It is my disappointment to say that I have only posted R/D once, but he hasn’t exactly released much. Honestly I did not expect my next post with him to contain a new original of his. His synth and bass work simultaneously owns face to the ears on this track. I can feel my future grandchildren being raped by bass, and in the Halloween spirit, I approve.
Dubstep | R Rated #52

If you haven’t already heard this remix from Noisia, then you haven’t heard one of the greatest remixes to a classic track from The Prodigy that could arguably be one of the top remixes of the year. We already know Noisia is one of the best, if not the best at their sound engineering and track ingenuity; if you don’t believe me just press play on the video. That drop almost knocked me out the first time I heard on my speakers.
For our first free download it looks like Rekoil just made it right on time with this 5k freebie. If you haven’t heard the original and VIP mixes to this track than you are missing out big time, but Rekoil gives this one his own little drumstep addition alongside some bouncy synths and lasers.
Seems like Getter was in a generous mood while he is tagging along with the Firepower crew playing out the rest of the Firepower Tour. This track has been up for preview for about 4 months now and it was about time we got our hands on it. It’s nothing out of the ordinary from him, with those monstrous growls and thunderous basslines.
Crizzly is the don of Crunkstep and he is back at it again with his Texas rap influenced track titled The Way We Ball. Taking the samples from Lil flip and adding on his laser synths and distorted melodies to give this rap track a nice electronic taste. Don’t sleep on this free download, which you can download from HERE.
For our last track we switch the vibe over to something a little darker courtesy of Mach. There is nothing wrong with that either because although this track isn’t as fast paced as the others, it still supplies you with the right amount of bass and heavy synths to cap off this edition of R Rated.
Dubstep | R Rated #46
Posted by Mach on September 12, 2012
Kicking off this weeks R Rated is an upcoming bomb remix from Darth & Vader. For just a short clip, you really get the feel for this remix…then you go deaf.
Next we have Rekoil, I said it weeks ago that he had some gems on the way and he is most definitely delivering. The track isn’t the normal filth, but it is some tasty deep sh*t.
50Carrot isn’t an artist Sev and I end up posting often, but he is someone whose work we are very familiar with. He uploaded this clip of this VIP just a few days ago and woah…eardrum killer.
Redacted from my write up about Zomboy’s newest EP, I complained about how he never gives away anything for free. Good thing I took it out because he gave away true fire today.
I originally wasn’t going to post this, I don’t see the big deal about Borgore, he sucks. He gets lucky with remixes, this would be borderline, one of those remixes. I can see why people will go crazy over this though.
Dubstep | Bong – Kasket VIP
Posted by Sev on July 31, 2012
Big ups to Darkstep Warrior’s channel for this awesome freebie upload from Bong. This track is definitely not for the light hearted. Bong has created a monster VIP to a track that he is going to be releasing on Datsik’s record label, Firepower Records, later. I have to say the original is no slouch of a track either both bringing a dark and heavy presence. Grab the free download HERE.
