Fytch- In These Shadows EP

French dubstep producer Fytch teams up with Kushberry to capture the hearts and attention of dubstep fans with another release on Jesus Died 4 Dubstep Records (JD4D). I personally prefer instrumental tracks but the vocals of Carmen Forbes is such a beautiful contrast to the aggressive nature of dubstep, but yet a soft compliment to the melodies in the track In These Shadows. The two continue the patterns of beautiful melodies overlaying aggressive...

Hybris - Emergence (album)

Hybris is blowing my mind with this album. He is no stranger to the underground world of drum & bass with his now second release on super group Noisia's record label, Invisible Recordings, with the first one being his Garbage Truck EP. The American born producer had this to say about this game-changing 15 track LP: "I wanted to make this album a cohesive listening experience from start to finish, while still tending towards the dancefloor....

Ninja Kore - Beautiful Disaster

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...

Dr.Ozi - Mental Giant

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...

Subzee D - Clowns/Say What EP

Birmingham producer Subzee D is no stranger in the underground dubstep scene. With releases on U.K. Dubstep record label H.E.N.C.H.- who also features Eddie K, Vodex, Jakes, Beezy and many others- as well as London's Dub Police (with artists such as: Caspa, Emalkay, Rusko, and -my personal favorite- Trolley Snatcha), Subzee D has made himself comfortable with the famous U.K. grime we are so familiar with hearing from these labels. With that said,...

Cyberoptics & Numbernin6 - Rootwork (SINGLE)

I have been looking forward to this collab for quite some time now. Cyberoptics, a 24 year old producer from Memphis, TN, is no stranger to the deep and dark world of dubstep. With recent singles like Strange Man White Van and The Secret Garden, and the genius of their last collab together- The World Is Your's- the expectations of a quality, dangerous track was real. Add in the never disappointing production of Richmond veteran dubstep producer...

Twine - Killing Machine EP

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...

Grimblee - Nemesis EP

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...

London Nebel - City of Fog LP

It wasn't too long ago that I was writing about the German Dubstep duo Donnie Digital and Nasty Fingers with their last release on Bassclash Records, Full Contact EP, and here I am again now presenting to you a full length, 16 track album that ranges from the obvious deep dubstep, to the wonkier side- riddim, and even break-beat and carnival. It is evident that these two put a lot of time (apparently they've been working on it since last summer!),...

Things have been slow, but here's a lot to look forward to...

So, after my Red Rocks and Infrasound run, my interest in writing slowed down- mostly due to the lack of creativity in the music that was being released. A few good things were put out here and there but nothing that really drove me to write a full on blog post about. With that said, here are a few releases set to come out in the coming weeks that I am personally looking forward to adding to my arsenal: 1. Grimblee - Nemesis EP (release date: June 30th on Prime Audio) 2. London Nebel - City of Fog LP (release date: June 30th on Sin City) 3....

Matchbox Orchestra - I Forget/Juice

12 days ago a branch of EDM.com, formerly known as "Dubstep.NET", gave us a sneak peak of Dubba Johnny's newest side project "Matchbox Orchestra" with a beautiful, soulful, melodic track featuring RJ Duke. The vocals in "One Day" flow straight through your soul- kissing it tenderly- accompanied by the most uplifting melodies and perfectly raw synths that leave you feeling rinsed with pure nostalgia. It was THIS track that caught my attention to...

London Nebel - Full Contact EP

After searching tirelessly this morning for some new music to write about, I finally stumbled upon this heavy, 5 track EP released by London Nebel on Bassclash Records. The German dubstep duo just released a free EP hardly a month ago and has another EP set to release on May 26th with Sin City Recordings succeeded by Follow the Groves EP on I.Am.Audio (no release date yet). Currently ranked at number 8 on the Beatport's Dubstep releases, the Full...

Dark Elixer's last release ever (as Dark Elixer) - Machines

A few weeks ago our friend Dark Elixer made quite an emotional post on his fan page stating that after his next two EP's- Simple Chaos on Firepower and now Machines on Underslung Audio- he will be respectfully retiring his dubstep career. Of course saddened by this news but excited to hear his final release, I now present to you his two track Machines EP- including 'Machines' and 'Fractured'. This deep release accompanied with heavy basslines and...

The Widdler - OGO

The Widdler, a Tel Aviv native who now resides in Austin, Texas, has recently released his newest album "OGO", featuring 6 tracks ranging from deep minimal dubstep, to "spooky" and "almost bubbly" beats. His melodic and tribal sounds are challenging the paradigm in the dubstep community by avoiding stereotypical "dubstep drops". His smooth crescendos leave you in almost a trance like state "feeling cleansed". A few tunes from this album have also...

Stinkahbell's Free Album Has Inspired Me To Return To Blogging

No matter how you may know him, Stinkahbell, Nutty P, or just Anton Flanders, there's no denying that this man lays down the freshest synths and melodies in this FREE 15 track album. Aside from the beautiful production, the soulful vocals and [mostly] down tempo vibes make this album an easy listen to all music fans of any genre; however, is a huge success for the dubstep community. My personal favorites are Neon City and Seduction Game [feat....

I have returned from Holy Ship!!! And have a vid of Dillon Francis's laptop freak out.

Wow. So, what a party, eh? I have tons of pictures, so check out my instagram. As far as stories go, I happened to get a pretty badass video of Dillon Francis freaking out because Diplo's twerker spilled her vodka all over his macbook and ruined it in the middle of his set. Check it! Flosstradamus ended up mixing until Skream and Zed's Dead took over and finished up. Dillon DID play his set on the beach the next day on Floss's laptop and also apologized to LaFayette (Diplo's dancer) for calling her out on stage like that. He was just salty because...

Zack the Lad (aka Trolley Snatcha)

If you didn't already know, well, now you know: Trolley Snatcha = Zack the Lad. After finding this out, I stalked his soundcloud page for 2 hours listening to all of the goodies that he has been hiding from us. Since then, many of the tunes that were previously uploaded have been removed, but here are a few of my favorites that were left behind! They're all very down tempo and chill- more so than his usual style. ...

FuntCase & DJ Hatcha - Fire Puja

Gahhhdamn! This new release from FuntCase and DJ Hatcha- set to release Jan.27th on Sin City Recordings- is HEAVY!

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...
