[AMAZING] Dog Blood – Middle Finger EP

In case you haven’t been blessed yet, Skrillex and Boys Noize joined forces and created a group called Dog Blood. If we’re lucky they will be run for president and slowly take over the world. But until then we have “Middle Finger” and “Next Order”. These two tracks were released on iTunes two days ago. On Sunday I saw Skrillex close out Outside Lands in San Francisco and when he dropped “Next Order,” words cannot describe how hectic it got. This track is just plain insanity, I was at a loss for words hearing it live, and it hits at all the right times, TURN UP THE BASS FOR THIS ONE. On the teaser that Skrillex posted on his Facebook about a week ago, he mentioned this as being “Acid Terror”. Others have gone as far to describe it as “Break-Acid-Tech-Noise”. Regardless what we call it, this collab is one of the biggest to hit the “EDM” scene in a long time. I like “Middle Finger” a little bit more, as it starts off with some glitch-acid-infused breaks and bleeps. Then we get some classic Skrillex vocal editing building into brain-scrambling filth that never lets up. Cheers.

Ooah + LoBounce – Get Primal EP [Moombahton/Electro]

The Glitch Mob’s Ooah recently teamed up with beat crafting partner LoBounce to release their debut EP as a duo, Get Primal. Flaunting three high-energy moombahton tracks alongside one darker electro jam, the EP, as to be expected, very much embodies the glitch hop sound fans have grown to love from both artists. It is a true collaboration fusing deep basslines across multiple tempo ranges with their signature glitch hop sound. The lead single, “Trash Talk,” begins slowly and masterfully builds before dropping into a glitch infused moombahton banger. “Line of Fire,” my personal favorite, is an electro-influenced track that demonstrates how the funk and glitch aspects of these artists truly work in paramount on this EP to create a unique sound.  Give the EP a listen, snag the free download of the track “Peligrosa” and make sure to support the artists on beatport.

[Glitch Hop + Bonus] Gangsta Fun – California (Kicks N Licks Remix)

Kicks N Licks throws down a ghetto funk infused Glitch Hop banger that is sure to make you smile. Taking Gangsta Fun’s track “Califonia” and transforming it into a Glitch Hop anthem using some sexy robotic vocals to make you fall in love with this one after your first listen. The level of production in this is so well tuned that every drop grabs you and has you wanting more, just perfect for summer time. Here is also a bonus Dub anthem from Kicks N Licks, and all I really should say is I’ve played it 586 times on my iTunes. It’s titled “Time” using a mesmerizing sample that got me real good after the first listen being followed up by some insane wobbles similar to Doctor P and Flux Pavilion. This is Dubstep at it’s absolute finest can’t wait for him to pump out more anthems like this one. Cheers.

Both of these are free by Liking Kicks n Licks on Facebook.

[Electro House] Silas Egan – Leopard (Original Mix)

Hailing from Canada, Silas Egan brings the thunder with his song Leopard released on Into The AM Records.Through out all this time I have been listening to EDM, I have never seen such an unknown artist on the production level of a professional musician. These unique blends of melodic, trance-esque breakdowns and filthy complextro drops are definitely blends that will pull you into a dream state then slap you in the face to bring you back to reality. With support from people like Porter Robinson, Darth & Vader, and Dirtyrock, Silas Egan is one to look out for with future releases. Cheers.

[Mixtape] Jack Beats – Evolution Mixtape

I had the pleasure of seeing Jack Beats alongside Knife Party in NYC a couple months back, and the Brits’ signature wobble and engaging yet subdued sound had me completely entranced. This “Evolution Mixtape” consists of similar material, lending eager listeners a preview of “Careless”, a mini-album set for release on Beatport August 7th. This set is riddled with enough fidget and glitch to have me thinking that these guys are helping redefine house music, extending outside the confines of the genre and welcoming a whole lot of weird.

[Dubstep/Electro] 6 filthy bangers for you….

get your crunk on

What up Ninja’s? Well here’s a quick smörgåsbord of tracks to get you and your granny dancing! Ranging from a bit of heavy dub to glitched up sounds of Acid Boys. Each of these tracks is worthy of your ipod. So without further adieu

Dilemn

First up is French electro producer Dilemn who’s releasing this through Audio Porn Records (think dirtyphonics) – it’s part of the ‘Talk About Us‘ EP and it’s straight filth. For more Dilemn check out his Facebook | Soundcloud

’Dilemn feat Ayah Marar – Talk About Us’

Acid Boys:

[FRESH] I’m not sure if you can get more fresh and up & coming then this. The 2 unsigned northern english boys have slammed together a concoqtion of hard hitting sounds with more rythm then michael flatly’s feet!! Go and increase your cred by liking/following Acide Boys on Soundcloud | Facebook

’Stardust – Music Sounds Better With You (Acid Boys remix)’

Calvertron

Bristol pumps out some huge sounds – home of UKF Dubstep and now Calvertron can be added to its credentials. The UK producer remixed Skepta’s track and the result is pretty mamoth. For more Calvertron check out his Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter

’Skepta – Make Peace Not War  (Calvertron remix)’

Rudebrat

22 year old Jake Bratrude aka. Rudebrat has created a dubstep / moombah track with plenty of space within it that the track isn’t overloaded with filth but contains the right amount for this to go off in a club. The eastern instruments really give a nice take on this track too. For more Rudebrat check out his Soundcloud | Facebook

’Rudebrat – Eastern Riot’

Knuckle Children  

I love the Nicky Romero orignal mix – that organ sound though gets shoved to one side once Knuckle Children (Adam Darby and Cristen Darbyget) unleash their vocoader/synth, almost like its been waiting to pounce on the track since its first creation from Romero. What’s not to love here? For more knuckle Children check their Facebook.

’Nicky Romero – Toulouse (Knuckle Children & Vrakaz Bootleg)’

FTampa

So his new EP sounds like it’s going to be epic (listen here) but whilst we wait for the Brazilian DJ to release it, FTampa has made a cheeky remix that adds a big bouncy bass line to Neyo’s ‘Let’s Go‘. Hit up his Facebook | Soundcloud | Twitter for the latest tunes.
