Moombahton | Moombah Mondays
Posted by Sev on April 9, 2012
First off, sorry for missing last weeks Moombah Mondays, but school can take the full blame for that. Shout out to the boys at Moomba Blasta on youtube always providing the best in Moombahton. If you haven’t subscribed to them on youtube, get on it! Lazy Rich’s new remix EP for his single The Chase released today, but this free remix was given away courtesy of Never Say Die records teaming up with Moomba Blasta. Such a great remix with a little bit of Roksonix flavor we have been seeing lately. This next track is from an artist that I really admire in Moombahton. Valentino Khan getting another one of his remixes released, and this time it’s to NAPT & Peo De Pitte’s new funky track Gonna Be Mine. Valentino’s use of new sounds and synths is what attracted me most to this dope remix. Show him some support and get it off Beatport provided in the Soundcloud link below.

Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Friday
Posted by Mach on April 6, 2012
I know someone had said not to make this post all UKF stuff and besides this track it’s not. Just bare through this one Drum & Bass/Drumstep UKF track. Drumsound and Bassline Smith are animals in Drum & Bass, I have been a huge fan since their single release last year ‘Freak.’ I would consider this new freebie of theirs a boarder-line Drum & Bass track, many would argue it is strong Drumstep. Either way it made this post and it is awesome.

Now that we got the UKF track out of the way we can move on to some true Drum & Bass. ‘Gold Dust’ is one of my favorite tracks to hear remixed, there are just so many different sounds I have heard this track morphed into. This remix from Lewd Behavior is a tasty treat, it’s upbeat and uses the vocals perfectly.
This is a gorgeous track. Liquid Drum & Bass is some of finest melodic electronic tunage out there. This is an incredible VIP of a track. It makes me wish it would rain just so I can sit out in it to this track.
There isn’t a full Drum & Bass post unless some Russian Warehouse D&B is thrown in the mix. Strictly instrumental, this remix is sick. I can imagine a room of a sweat soaked crowd just busting out to the lasers that light the room.
This next track is Name Your Own Price, so don’t be shy to give it a listen. Rostik just dropped his new EP ‘Symmetry,’ today. This one of the tracks off the EP and the rest are just as good as this one. The entire 4 track EP is nothing but the finest chill Drum & Bass.
Omega is big with Dubstep, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t allowed to destroy with Drum & Bass. He does sway a little more to the Drumstep sound which is expected, but he can still lay a mean drop over his beat.
This last track was drained of all its downloads and I was not able to obtain a copy myself. I still thought it was worth the listen and figured the Drum & Bass lovers would enjoy it just as much as I did. If I do happen to come across a download, no doubt I will supply it. This is in Japanese, including the vocals, still a great remix.
Dubstep, Review | Cookie Monsta – Riot! EP
Posted by Mach on April 3, 2012
When it comes to filthy dubstep, the artists that come to mind are usually Circus Record’s own FuntCase and Cookie Monsta. The filth monger Cookie Monsta dropped his new EP, ‘Riot!’ today, and there is no doubt that he out did himself again. Cookie doesn’t need to make a name for himself, just about everything he releases is dirty gold.
The title track ‘Riot’ I assume to be influenced greatly by number of riots that have been held recently in England. Cookie Monsta definitely inspires people to stand up…on cars and well… RIOT! The track is filthy, destroying your ear drums one decible at a time. Videogames seem to inspire all of us nerds in some way, in the case of ‘Level Up,’ the 8 bit sound effects just lead up to the finishing blow, #1-up. Between ‘Time To Get Crunk’ and ‘HedRokkA’ I couldn’t decide which one was my favorite on the EP. coming in second place is ‘Time To Get Crunk,’ sampling Mad Decent’s Lil Jon (that is correct, Lil Jon was signed onto Mad Decent by Diplo). I love the pace of this track, it starts off fast drumstep/drum & bass and halfway through Cookie takes it down a notch for us to enjoy a slower nasty drop. Sev and I both agree that ‘HedRokkA’ is the filthiest track on this release. Smooth and grimy, this track is nothing short of a panty wetter, and for guys it is like if Borgore just created a website to post up all the “submissions” he receives from the ladies. Dubstep fans, this EP is a must have. Buy it, rip it, torrent it, what ever you have to do to get it, because you need this.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Aer – Wonderin’ Why (Video)
Posted by dshaq on April 3, 2012
The ridiculousy catchy and refreshing duo of Aer give us some brand new visuals to start off the day. From their new EP, they provide us with some whimsical visuals to the catchy song. Expect more visuals from the duo but also expect an album sometime in the future. If you missed FNT’s interview with Aer, you can check that out here.
Dubstep, Hip-Hop | Gramatik ft. Jay Fresh- Solidified
Posted by A on April 3, 2012
Dallas’s lone hip-hop prodigy, Jay Fresh, is back at it again. This time, he’s teamed up with Pretty Lights artist Grammatik to bring the undeniable heat. Inspired by a recent green room jam session, “Solidified” is a product of the incontrovertible chemistry between both of the artists.
Not to be outdone, Gramatik recently dropped a brand new six song EP entitled “#digitalfreedom” through Pretty Lights Music. Predicated on the idea that thoughts, freedom of speech, and online creativity can’t be suppressed, the project is undoubtedly a testament to that creed. As a bonus, I’ve included a download link to the entire project. All hail #digitalfreedom!
