I fuggin' love the Belgian dudes who make up GWN and the rawness of all of their tunes. I got a chance to see them at Infrasound Equinox in Black River Falls, WI in September, shortly after their newest album "Hybrid Distillery" came out, where they played 3 different sets. They played all original music with a slight exception of a few tracks- one set which was all of their classic Dubstep bangers, one which experimented with the combination of their newer and older style, and one which was their "alter ego", Vice Vertu with Simon. This 37 minute mix is a good combination of tunes from their new album plus some bangers from their past- its super solid.
But, since I am on the topic of their new album, if you haven't already- you should absolutely go buy it. I will warn you though, it is a bit different from their previous albums, which were all Dubstep. They experiment with some new sounds while still keeping it heavy and wonky with my personal favorites, "Zamal" and "Blackberries". They took some heat from the Infrasound community for experimenting and although I don't love every track, I appreciate them for stepping beyond their comfort zone and trying something different. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love these guys!

Meet Ninja Kore, a 5 man bass band from Portugal who just released their first full length album featuring 12 monstrous tracks. Their unique sound is no secret- pulling together genres such as punk, metal, breaks, electro, trap, and of course dubstep and drum and bass into a beautifully produced work of art. Much like other more familiar bass bands such as Modestep and Destroid, Ninja Kore performs with live instruments and a vocalist. With only 6.6k followers on Soundcloud, the only difference between them and other bass bands is that they don't the attention they so rightfully deserve! Listen to Beautiful Disaster and support Ninja Kore, buy the album on Beatport and iTunes.

Its no secret, Canadian dubstep duo Dr.Ozi have surely put out a monstrous track, much like the artwork with their newest release Mental Giant. This is their first release on Dustla Records who has also signed other upcoming dubstep artists such as Spag Heddy, ak9, EH!DE, and Karetus. With a strong intro that sets the heavy tone for the rest of the track, Mental Giant showcases an innovative take on the stereotypical "brostep" that Dr.Ozi is promoting to new levels. This is definitely a banger that will hit dancefloors and festivals all over the country- if it hasn't already. Check out the rest of their soundcloud and support them by getting Mental Giant on Beaport today!

2014 has proven to be Florida-based producer Twine's breakout year. Starting off, he signed his freshman EP The Absolute to Datsik's Firepower Records, followed by a 4 track EP for reaching 5,000 followers on soundcloud a month ago (which at the moment has reached 9.4k), a single on Excision's Rottun Recordings (Mania) as well as a couple remixes for Firepower superstars Barely Alive (see Rifle Blow Kiss and Welcome To The Real World). And that's just the tip.
Seasoned dubstep stars such as Datsik, Getter, Excision, and more recently Zeds Dead have been rinsing his tunes this festival season on their travels across the country. Twine even joined Getter and AFK to open up a few select dates on their Gnartillary Tour. He's surely caught the attention of the dubstep community and has finally teamed up with 12th Planet at Smog Records to present to you Killing Machine.
Killing Machine - With an introduction that grabs your attention by the sounds of an intense hunt with screeches and growls, the track quickly builds into a brutal drop followed by the dirtiest kicks and synths that leave you stank-faced until half way through. He slows it down a bit but only to introduce the nuttiest drop of the track that clearly sets the tone for the rest of the [dubstep] tracks in the EP.
Trillaz - This may be Zeds Dead's favorite track of the EP, but I have an unfair bias toward trap music- even if it is considered to be hybrid. Needless to say, this is my least favorite track. I love some heavy basslines but not when accompanied by the infamous 'WUT? WUT? WUT? WUT?' chant. I hate to be critical of someone's work, so I will just leave it with "it's not my thing"; but, it doesn't sound like a nightmare Flosstradamus track and sticks to the general tone that Killer Machine had set before it.
Throwback Thursday - Fast paced melodic intro that drops into a screeching throwback with some Circus Talent as well as a slight Figure (or maybe the right word I am looking for here is Halloween) influence with a new, Twine twist. I can't help but look at the title and pick familiar sounds out- but, that's a good thing! This is a completely original track with some all-star influence. I dig it.
Testify - At last, my favorite track of the EP. The intro sets the spooky tone with scattered hard synths that build into the filthiest, most unique drop of the entire EP accompanied by the angriest growls. I cannot get enough of this tune, its definitely the wonkiest on this release and I love wonky. Big ups on this one man!
Trypto - Yet another trap tune. The intro, build up, and drop isn't bad and again, I'm a sucker for heavy basslines, but I'm such a white girl and don't know how to dance to this. Turn down.

This Salt Lake City Utah producer is breaking out big in the dubstep community with his massive 5 track Nemesis EP, released with high hopes and expectations on Prime Audio record label. Prime Audio is famously known for signing more well known bass heavy producers, such as: Funtcase, Genetix, Getter, JPhelpz, and Barron and after listening to these tracks, Grimblee proves that he without a doubt belongs on the same record label. With a clear UK grime influence and phenomenal production, he has caught the attention of both bass heavy fans and producers worldwide and delivers, easily, one of the heaviest EPs of the year, so far, with my personal favorite being Mightnight Slaughter. If you don't already, go follow this man on soundcloud! He is always pumping out fresh tunes and definitely doing his part to contribute to the evolution of dubstep. Support Grimblee and grab his EP on beatport.

Dr. Ozi is surely kicking off 2014 with a BANG! With the success of The Rise EP released on Buygore Records in the beginning of December, 'Look Away' has proven to be another huge banger for these Canadian bass producers.

Herly herp derp! This Budapest based producer has blown me away with this trappy, dubby, HEAVY remix of David Heartbreak's Acid Youths. This has the potential to be a dance floor hit and I absolutely recommend it for anyone's festival mixes for this summer.

Gahhhdamn! This new release from FuntCase and DJ Hatcha- set to release Jan.27th on Sin City Recordings- is HEAVY! I really dig the Tibetan influence and definitely feel the ritualistic vibe with this tune. I see you UK dub, I see you.
Fun fact! A fire puja, (as defined by Ananda Dharma Center) 'is an offering of a large number of specific substances tossed into a fire during an elaborate ritual. The fire puja burns off or purifies obstacles and bonds us more closely with the Buddha.
