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.

Most recently, Invenio Music named Los Angeles-based artist Shanica Knowles its inaugural original song competition winner alongside indie-rock band Echo and Drake from Connecticut.

Dubstep | Adventure Club- Need Your Heart (Cry Wolf YOLO Remix)
Posted by ATexas on August 8, 2012
Adventure Club gets the remix of a century by Cry Wolf and its one for the books. CRY goes ham on this remix busting out funk and dubstep in one fell swoop. I am honestly confused as to what to label this as. If you don’t download then its your really effing huge loss. Like you win some and you lose some, but like you’d be the loser. I’m not saying, I’m just saying. LIKE WHAT IS THAT BASS GUITAR DOING?! It’s blowing your f**king mind betch.

Dubstep | Bong – Kasket VIP
Posted by Sev on July 31, 2012
Big ups to Darkstep Warrior’s channel for this awesome freebie upload from Bong. This track is definitely not for the light hearted. Bong has created a monster VIP to a track that he is going to be releasing on Datsik’s record label, Firepower Records, later. I have to say the original is no slouch of a track either both bringing a dark and heavy presence. Grab the free download HERE.
Dubstep, Review | Meta – The Alpha EP
Posted by Mach on July 27, 2012
Lifted Music, the epic label owned by the legend, Spor (Feed Me), has been one of the most powerful labels in Drum & Bass and now taking on the Dubstep community with the upcoming duo, Meta. Meta however is not limiting themselves to just Dubstep, the duo claims to be masters of all EDM styles. In this debut release, Meta shows us what powers they hold with their intro track, “Alpha.” The track is solely melodic with a strong emotional finish leading to “Phoenix Down.” As I would expect from Lifted Music, “Phoenix Down” starts melodically, but drops heavy into a mind blowing bass-line. “Flare” is styled slightly different, by has an elongated euphoric opening. By the middle of the track, you are reintroduced to the same type of filth as “Phoenix Down,” owning your eardrums. With a debut EP like this, it is no surprise it released on such legendary label.
Girl Fire, Pop | R.I.O. feat. U-Jean – Summer Jam
Posted by A on July 11, 2012
Even though R.I.O is extremely one-dimensional, hokey, and has terrible marketing, I can’t get enough of his singles. He keeps putting out hit after hit after hit. I don’t even know how he does it. All I know is that this is pure girl fire and I’ll be jamming out to it at the stop light with my windows up.

It’s summer time all the time for Viceroy. His latest single “Chase us Around, featuring vocals by Madi Diaz, blends sexy vocals with the tropical disco feel that encapsulates the summer vibe. If you’re digging this track, explore his Soundcloud [linked] and stay tuned to his record label, Shark Party, for updates. And if you’re feeling charitable, go heart his track on Hypem – here.
