Electro, Electro-House | La’Reda — Solara EP [FNT Exclusive]
Posted by Sev on August 16, 2012
La’Reda is duo that I have been following for a few months now and their work and progression over the months is what led me to want to release this amazing EP by them. I haven’t been hearing too much Electro-House that has appealed to me in the past few months except for the crazy tracks these guys have been creating. They use some distorted, bass-bumping synths that always keep their work lively and exciting.
The first track on the EP, The Aquarian has a stunning melody accompanied with some uplifting chords and trance pads during the intro. Gradually advancing it’s way slowly to the unique Electro overdriven drop. Their next track entitled Solara has to be one of my favorite works from them. The uplifting tempo and feeling through the track just makes for a great live track. The vocals alongside the melody in this track also make the track that much better. The last track, One Wild Ride, is more of a darker, bouncy sounding track unlink anything I have heard in Electro-House. At parts the melody gives off a positive, graceful vibe, but the drop just makes you feel as though you are in a deep dark rave with no choice but to dance. As a special gift the boys decided to give us a track that was released on iTunes today as a free download for all the FNT fans exclusively. All the tracks can be found for DL through their Facebook or just click the Soundclouds download link to get them all.
Dubstep | R Rated #42
Posted by Mach on August 15, 2012
Document One is coming in strong on R Rated this week. The announcement of his upcoming EP, “D Is For Document One,” out September 10th, a preview, and a freebie off of the EP. The Preview “Already Lost” is a nasty one. Dropping strong with grime and lasers. However, “Body Pump” is more of a dirty Moombahton/Dubstep blend.
Dark Elixer has been rolling out the free releases, these two are just from the past few days. His remix of “The Sign” is crunchy, complimenting the vocals brilliantly. His VIP of his own “Let The Bass Kick” sounds like something filth monger, Funtcase would make…then never release. Luckily for us, this one is downloadable.
Noya came in strong on this one. Leaving nothing but ashes after the lasers on this behemoth Dubstep tune. No release date yet, but it will be well worth the wait.
Last but not least is this massive remix from VoidDS. Taking “Beast Mode” to a whole other planet…then destroying it, closing out R Rated in true style.
Techno | Dog Blood – Middle Finger EP
Posted by Spice on August 15, 2012
The first product of the Skrillex/Boys Noize collaboration has dropped on Boysnoize Records, and I will begin by saying that I’m feeling the hell out of these tracks. Props to Skrillex for changing it up and consistently doing exactly what he wants (questionable movie soundtrack deals and trailers for Ben Stiller movies notwithstanding) — this definitely represents a new (though not wholly surprising) direction for the 24 year-old that in some ways seems like a logical follow-up to his recent pair of Birdy Nam Nam remixes. These are dark, taut tracks that combine the hypnotic elements of Boys Noize’s forte, acid house, with the energy, playfulness, and deceptive simplicity we’ve come to associate with Skrillex. If you’ve ever had any doubts about Sonny Moore’s production chops, take these for a spin — you may be surprised. And if you’re a fan of Boys Noize and live life in the underground, this EP will be right up your alley.

Hip-Hop, Trap | Captain Murphy – Shake Weight (TNGHT Version)
Posted by Sev on August 14, 2012
If you are a fan of the Trap game and haven’t heard of TNGHT yet, then you need to get to searching. Consisted of Hudson Mohawke and Lunice this dynamic Trap duo has been taking the scene by storm. After a good response from their first EP, lyricists are all over their hot beats. Captain Murphy is the latest to give TNGHT’s track Bugg’n a shot. Right off the start he gives off a Tyler The Creator vibe with his graphic, vulgar lyrics. It seems as though this Odd Future’s style has caught many peoples attention and become a wanted commodity whether you like it or not. You can grab this track as a free download HERE.
Dubstep | Mojo — Superman EP
Posted by Sev on August 13, 2012
Just released today on Buygore Records, was Mojo’s latest EP titled “Superman EP”. After Mojo’s last hit track Carnival I haven’t heard any distinctive tracks that have been worth while from him, until recently. This EP consists of four tracks each of which are unique in style compared to any tracks we have seen released lately.
Starting off with Superman, this track contains some smooth melodies alongside some distorted, overdriven sounds blended into a great progression. This is one of those tracks where the drop just streams straight through the track instead of blowing your ear drums into pieces. It serves as more of an emotional and easy going listen. In Warmin Up and Trigger Finger Mojo brings out the grimy, vigorous sounds that I could see FuntCase playing out at this shows, which means these tracks are no joke. They are the crowd pleasing tracks on the EP that keep the suspense in the intro and then crush the crowds in the drop. The last track on the EP is The Future, which is a mid-tempo styled track that reminds me of a beefed up version of what we see Culprate and Koan Sound making. Grab the EP on Beatport HERE.
Dubstep | R Rated #41
Posted by Sev on August 8, 2012
This first track for R Rated is provided courtesy of SKisM. Although it doesn’t categorize exactly as dubstep, it instead is more glitch/moombahcore, but still heavy enough to be considered in this weeks R Rated. SKisM always keeps it fresh with his tracks and giving away his second installment of the ‘Division’ Series today was a good start to the day. The actual release is on August 20th accompanied by a remix from drum & bass producer TC. Both tracks definitely pack a punch so be on the lookout for the release.
Moxix unleashed this heavy bass filled banger only a few days and it clearly hasn’t been getting the recognition it deserves. Mach and I had a mutual understanding that this track would not be left out R Rated this week, because it is one of those heavy bangers that is given away for free every so often. The quiet intro and build up can be deceiving to what actually takes place during the drop, so be prepared.
Trolley Snatcha released a free EP this week through Scion AV covering dubstep as well as some UK garage tracks. This collaboration with Foreign Beggars definitely turned out to be my favorites on the EP, as well as probably the heaviest track featured on the EP. I had a feeling we wouldn’t exactly be seeing the best he had to offer being that it was a free EP, but it wasn’t a lost cause. You can download the rest of the EP if you are interested along with this track through Scion AV HERE.
I was pretty surprised after I strolled through my Soundcloud to hear this freebie promoting the release of Doctrine’s free EP. I went in listening to this track with no expectations and I found myself bobbing my head and feeling this track all the way throughout. Although we hear the typical “Yoy” modern talking synths and the Flux Pavillion high pitched leads the combination of all of them turned out pretty well in this track. Although the rest of the EP wasn’t too enticing to me personally I still recommend that everyone take a listen anyways, which can be found in the Soundcloud description along with the free DL.
