Dubstep | R Rated #50!
Posted by Sev on October 11, 2012
Fifty weeks of R Rated and yet again we aren’t slowing down anytime soon. With classes ramming ridiculous amounts of work into our faces you would think there would be a few skipped editions of R Rated, but we just can’t do that to our fans. With that said Mach came up with the brilliant idea to celebrate this joyous occasion by ramming you guys with even more tracks than we usually do, so let the filth overload begin.
Xilent is on the verge of another monstrous EP release through Audioporn Records and we all know there is no better way to hype the fans than giving away a free track from his EP. This track is that heavy melodic style Xilent is so great at producing, sprinkled with a some grime lyrics courtesy of Youthstar to add a hip hop feeling to it.
This next one is a little exception to R Rated. We usually stay away from posting DnB into R Rated, because we save it for Dnb Friday’s, but when Noisia posts something on their Soundcloud from another artist, you know it is no joke. With Noisia being one of the best sound engineers to ever grace the EDM scene it is obvious they push to get the closest in sound perfection when it comes to creating and mastering tracks. The Upbeats seem to be a new favorite for these guys and with that we can hear the Nero-funk influence from Noisia throughout a few of their recent tracks including this dark tune.
LabRat has grown significantly as a producer ever since we started following him and posting his tracks a few months back. With the Halo soundtrack remix competition in progress we are seeing the spur of remixes popping up everywhere. With that said many artist are choosing to stay ont he epic, melodic path that the Halo soundtracks usually stray towards, but LabRat takes the heavy, grimy path.

Posted by Sev on October 9, 2012
With the release of the “Smog City Compilation” only a few days away, 12th planet ,being the generous person he is, has given away one of the tracks off the EP titled Bass Salt. This collabortion with him and Antiserum is a combination of Dubstep and Trap into one heavy hitting, bass driven track. Although Trap alone really isn’t a favorite of mine to listen to, this track is a banger.

Electronic, Glitch | Jayglow – Final Scenes EP
Posted by Sev on October 9, 2012
Inspected is a label known for having a vast variety of genres released from all sorts of artist. They supply their fans with everything from the heaviest of the heavy to the most melodic of tunes. Their latest release comes from an artist known for his incorporation of funk into his glich styled tunes, Jayglo. His newest EP on Inspected entitled “Finals Scenes” encompasses some jazz influenced, gliched out tracks that bring something fresh to its listeners. Jayglo keeps a great upbeat melody in all the tracks adding along his addition of heavy synths through to go along with the hip-hop style sounds. I had no intention of posting the EP, but after one listen through the EP I was hooked right away. Grab the EP off of Beatport HERE.
Dubstep, Trance | Seven Lions EP Teaser (Release on 10/16)
Posted by Sev on October 6, 2012
After having two monster remixes released in the past two weeks, Seven Lion’s is back again with a big announcement. The Seven Lions EP has been signed by one of the biggest EDM labels around currently, OWSLA, and set to be released on 10/16. I definitely didn’t see this coming, but I am ecstatic for him. Showing us that no matter what label wants to release his music, he stays true to his style and what he does best, which we see a showcase of in this teaser video. The Trance infused dubstep style seems to have appealed to Skrillex enough for him to sign this magnificent artist’s EP in what is going to be one of the top releases on the label in the past few months. There isn’t much else to say that we already haven’t about Seven Lions, but the wait for the next 10 days is going to a long and eager one. With that said, we also got a sneak peak at one of the tracks from the EP courtesy of Spin Magazine and it is surely a promising one.

YONAS Nation, open your eyes and ears to the newest set of visual art for the Bronx bomber’s lead single off his most recent mixtape, The Transition. The most significant news of late is of course YONAS’ newly inked record deal with 1st Round Records, which may be just the platform he needs to catapult into the realm of hip-hops heavyweights. With a, “Don’t Give A Damn” attitude, YONAS once again linked up with his crew at Betterdays Media for a boisterous poolside shoot, solidifying this record as “the party hit” aiming to keep summer alive. Transparent to any negativity, YONAS continues to push for positivity, showing his fans just how to incorporate a lyrical message into an upbeat, fun track. With production by Sean Ross, this has been my go to playlist record off the mixtape since it dropped back in June.
“Just for the record I don’t smoke, but I might light it up if I was down at Michael Phelps’ house, hah”
Phelps is the best swimmer and arguably the best Olympian of all time, but have you ever seen him eat pizza under water? Riddle me that. It has been confirmed YONAS is working on his new EP, which can be expected on ??/??/????. Stay tuned! #YONASNation

Electro, Mainstream Remix | Hoodie Allen — Small Town (SmarterChild Remix)
Posted by jeffwbaird on September 27, 2012
I don’t generally dabble in anything outside of the hip-hop hemisphere, but SmarterChild hit me with this remix to one of the more ardent tracks from Hoodie Allen’s latest EP, “Small Town,” and he fantastically manipulates it into a electro jam. For Hoodie and EDM-heads alike, this is a sure crowd and party-pleaser, with a hearty dose of electronic riffs and yet still a strong residue of the original.
Dubstep | R Rated #48
Posted by Sev on September 27, 2012
Kicking off this weeks (late edition) of R Rated is Dodge & Fuski on the verge of their new EP release. Progressing their style of Dubstep a little more, their track Got 2 Come Together shows the fun side of their Never Say Die infused style. Comprised of the fun little electronic sounding melodies as well as the heavy aspects this track is an all around representation of what this duo can compose.
Taiki and Nulight are another duo that have been gaining support from the bigger names lately. They are signed under the dubstep don’s , Benga, label which somewhat shows in their track. This one shows a simpler side to the genre with a dark twist to it, sort of what we used to hear a lot of from Benga a few years back.
DarkElixir is known for his dark heavy tunes, and this one is no different. Providing us with a remix to Sulfiltronik’s Bruk! , this track has its dark twists and hollow synths that he has mastered.
Another growing favorite of mine, Tom Budin, has put out this awesome original mix. Using his heavy synths in the drop he creates a trancey style of dub with his chords alongside some pretty catchy vocals.
EDIT: Figure pulled through last minute this reckless, heavy VIP of Super Sonic Brave Waves and we couldn’t wait to post it. So here you guys go and proceed with caution.
