Dubstep, Glitch, Trap | Carvar and Clock – Miskatonik EP
Posted by Sev on May 14, 2013
Ever since the surfacing of their first tune, Miskatonik, Carvar and Clock have been the talk of the town. Gaining all kinds of support from all of the big names, these guys went from nothing to something in a matter of weeks. To be honest I had never seen anything like it before, but after releasing their single for free it was signed to Firepower Records soon after. With that came some of the most unique and amazing remixes of the tune as well. We have seen some showings from Joe Ford showcasing what he is capable of, but this remix brings out the meaner side in him. When I first heard the preview to this remix my jaw dropped, and still does everyone time I do. The second drop gives me goosebumps like no other. MUST DIE! has been cranking tunes out left and right like it’s nobodies business the past few months. He is an endless library of tunes and this remix just proved that he is going to be creating some of the most unique music in 2013. I haven’t heard many succesful metal/dubstep fusion remixes of any tunes, but this one is easily the best. Also on this EP is another single from the duo called SYGYZY (good luck trying to pronounce this one). I wasn’t to amazed with this track, because it reminded me too much of Miskatonik, but nevertheless it’s still a good tune.

Hip-Hop | Mina Knock – Get Ready
Posted by Mach on May 13, 2013
Mina Knock killed it on this beat. Having not uploaded anything in some time while working on his new EP “The Vista”, it’s a pleasant surprise to get this. This track is not from his EP but I really dig his flow on this track produced by STINT. The EP is releasing some time this Summer, have a good feeling about this one.
Electro-House | Empire Of The Sun – Alive (Feature Cuts Remix)
Posted by Jess on May 10, 2013
Less than two weeks after the release of his debut EP, Vision, Feature Cuts is back with a remix of Empire Of The Sun’s new single “Alive”. Keeping the amazing vocals and upbeat synths of the original and accelerating it while adding a catchy bassline, Feature Cuts creates a track that you can either chill and vibe to or party and groove to. The track is more of an experimental track from Feature Cuts as he states that he “definitely experimented with a bunch of technical aspects of processing and sound design when I approached this project” and from the sound of it he succeeded on all counts. Watch the video above for the remix and download it for free below.

Culprate’s new EP, “The Great Expedition”, is just weeks away and the other day he had posted up a preview of all the tracks included, but today we have a glimpse at our first full preview of “Talk To Frank”. It is much more than I had expected, knocking my socks into the fourth dimension. Culprate’s “The Great Expedition” EP drops May 27th.
Electro-House, Review | Knife Party – Haunted House EP
Posted by Mach on May 6, 2013
A lot of people have been highly anticipating the next Knife Party release. Knife Party had stated that their “Haunted House Tour” was not related to an EP, but as you can see that’s not the case. I do like this EP, but it is further proof of how lazy the duo is when it comes to producing. My take on this EP is positive and negative, just to warn those of you who will take offense or disagreement to my opinions of each track.
“Power Glove” is a fun, hard hitting Electro-House track that I am sure is a blast in a live setting, but half the time I feel like I am listening to another VIP of “Internet Friends”. “LRAD” isn’t my style of House, I know it is a lot of fun in a big room with a good sound system, but I can’t get over how repetitious this style is. I like to be kept interested in a song, this just sounds like a track meant to please the tasteless festival attendees who are on countless drugs anyways. Speaking of an “Internet Friends VIP”, I am a bit disappointed that Knife Party included the actually VIP in this EP. I will not lie that I have been dying to get my hands on it, but seeing as “Power Glove” already sounds a bit like the original in the drop, I can’t help but think they could have picked a better original to include instead. Finally we get to the only track on the EP that actually sounds like a lot of effort and time was put into its creation. “EDM Death Machine” starts out with a kicking beat and light use in samples, it sounds like they learned from over sampling in “Internet Friends”. I love the progression Knife Party uses, my first listen was exciting, they managed to keep me on my toes the entire way through.
To those of you who are thinking “What are you talking about? This EP is amazing!” I do think it is good, amazing is a little far considering how less creative this EP feels as a whole. I would however recommend this to everyone. Knife Party has always made it their job to help you rage, even if they appear to be extremely lazy at times.
