Electro-House, Preview | FootwoRk & PoundPoundPound – The Moment
Posted by Mach on September 25, 2012
Danceability is always the key to good vibes. When it comes to Electro-House tracks, I am always a huge fan of the tracks that have a little Disco funk in them. Both hailing from Indiana, FootwoRk & PoundPoundPound (###) delivered an incredible dancing original. “The Moment,” is exactly what you live in while this plays, you will lose yourself in these 3 and a half minutes. FootwoRk & PoundPoundPound’s upcoming EP is releasing soon, not soon enough if you ask me.

Dubstep | Perverse – Semblance + Bonus
Posted by W8 on September 24, 2012
Perverse is a duo that plays in the depths of hertz with ear pounding, raw bass as their motto. Although all their production is notable, Semblance was a tune that really caught my attention and resulted in me contacting them times over to get a release date on. They’re now in the process of releasing 4 EP’s with each volume featuring 4-5 tracks, and the first installment is now free and available here
If that was to your liking, I put an extra unrelated gem after the jump.
Electro-House | Popeska – Karmameter EP
Posted by Spice on September 18, 2012
You’ve really got to hand it to nineteen year-old Popeska. While there are plenty of remarkable DJ success stories out there, many of them can be traced back to one catalytic event, like winning a Beatport contest, winning multiple Beatport contests, or simply forging a direct line to Skrillex. Not so with the young Atlanta native, who gradually pulled himself up through the ranks of Soundcloud and amassed a legion of loyal followers by consistently churning out impressive original tracks with a fresh and distinctive flavor. Eventually he made it onto Wolfgang Gartner’s radar; suddenly we were seeing tweets and status updates about hanging out with Modestep in LA and traveling to Barcelona for inspiration. Now, maybe a year after this entire process was first set into motion, the kid has officially made it: a four track EP on Wolfgang Gartner’s imprint picked up exclusively by Beatport. Karmameter is in keeping with Popeska’s glitchy aesthetic; there’s a complex, almost orchestral opulence to these tracks, which all fall somewhere in the gray area between dubstep, electro house and nu-disco and are undergirded by formidable bass. And as we’ve seen in his past efforts, he makes judicious use of catchy vocals (on “Liar” and the moombah-tinged “Atlantis”) to supplement his instrumentals. If you’ve been following Popeska since the early days, you should absolutely continue to support him by purchasing his EP on Beatport. It’s clear that this is only the beginning for the young producer.

Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Tayyib Ali Drops 3 New Tracks
Posted by Grubeats on September 13, 2012
Young Tayyib Ali has been spending the last several weeks out in LA recording his EP with the tiki man, Cisco Adler. Evidently all the time in the studio had Tay feeling froggy to release some new music to his fans. Sharing with us two originals, “Anything” and “Like Dat”, as well as a remix over Wale’s “Tats On My Arm” flipped to suit any frequents of AA, titled “Straight Out The Bottle”. Although none of these will land on either Tay’s One Way EP or his next mixtape, Keystone State of Mind 2 (tentative name), new music is nothing to be frowning about.
Dubstep, Featured | Featured Artists: KillSonik
Posted by Mach on September 13, 2012
KillSonik are now on their way to becoming one of London’s greatest Dubstep duos. Members, Luca Gulotta and Joe Erskine disappeared for a short time, to which it was feared they broke up their legendary group, Chasing Shadows. To the delight of Dubstep fiends across the world, the duo rose like the universe’s largest known star, NML Cygni, obliterating eardrums throughout the world with incinerating, fiery bass. As their most recent remixes have shown, everything these two touch turns to pure diamonds. Their solid, unbeatable releases have blown the minds of all who are fearless to experience a whole other level of one of EDM’s most controversial genres.
Signed exclusively to Chase & Status’ MTA Records, KillSonik’s debut EP, “Bloodlust,” dominated the Dubstep charts, showing the world that the duo was here to make an impact, and here to stay. Their most recent release, a remix of Calvin Harris’ “Well Be Coming Back” featuring Example, still resides on Beatports Dubstep Top 100 and just a few days ago, KillSonik’s sophomore EP, “Where The River Runs Black,” was announced. It is said to be releasing on MTA Records sometime this October along with their gargantuan official remix of Linkin Park’s “Lost In The Echo,” releasing October 6th. In addition to all these Dubstep releases, KillSonik has their first Drum & Bass remix of Sub Focus’ upcoming track “Tidal Waves” featuring Alpines, releasing November 4th.
There is no doubt that this year is going to belong to these soon to be tyrants of bass.

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.
