Motivation (Diplo Remix)

A slow paced and pleasant hip hop piece from Kelly Rowland and Lil Wayne has stolen the show this summer for me in terms of mainstream music and has been souped up even further in Diplo's heavy edit. The original sports a very catchy tune perfect for most every situation while the Busta Rhymes remix displays some more of the amazing lyrical flows he is capable of and Diplo reaches out for the filthy synths we all love and delivers it as a free download; all three are featured below.

Cory Enemy & Dillon Francis - Who The Fuck Are You

This collaboration sees an excursion from Dillon's recent buzz of Moombahton production to a melodic stew of, admittedly overused, sounds combining to create an upbeat and unique flow that I find refreshingly enjoyable and it's free; what more can you ask for.

RAMM100

Ram Records are celebrating their 100th release by packing their new EP with drum and bass anthems that have been rinsed for years but never officially released. From hard hitting dancefloor drum and bass to deep liquid, as Ram Records put it, "Quite simply this EP is the Holy Grail of Drum & Bass".

Louder (Hardwell Remix)

The chart topping single from DJ Fresh has been emboldened by a new anthemic progressive house remix from none other than Hardwell. This summer release has all the potential to be the biggest club tune out there with its epic trance pluck buildup, catchy and already well known lyrics and the mind blowingly raw yet powerful drop.

Nero - In The Way

Just to get you all even more excited about Nero's impending album release this August, here is a preview of a track exclusive to the album that is absolutely banging. Interesting switch up to their standard dubstep routine and of course, a bassline that numbs your brain; this is shaping up to be the biggest release this genre has seen this year.

Zeds Dead - Dark Side Dub

Today is a tribute to a stellar duo who have been making waves in the dubstep scene for a while now. I have been rummaging through their back catalogue and have found some hidden gems that I had not previously heard, here are my favourites featured below; the dark wobbles of Dark Side Dub show a mixture of the comic elements of the artists married with their mature, terrifyingly dirty sounds.

ShockOne & Phetsta - Crucify Me Part 1 (Extended DnB Mix)

Banging dance drum and bass track from ShockOne's and Phetsta's new EP has topped the genre's charts and for good reason. Its rolling distorted basses and fast paced, tight drum loops hold together this pendulum-esque crowd pleaser.

OMG (The Death Of Marat Remix)

The Death of Marat remixes the whole of The Streets' newest album, Computers and Blues. With modest dubstep influences and a perfectly suited flow for Mike's inspired lyrics, this album should deliver a unique and exciting take on garage and dubstep fusion.

Bang (Calvertron Remix)

Karton's original is transformed into a filthy monster of a tune by none other than Calvertron. A fast paced drumstep style beat and high pitched distortions combine to abuse all those who dare to listen; this track is just so full of energy.

Take Me There (Cutline Remix)

I'm not sure what I think about Aquasky's move into producing dubstep as it is pale in comparison to his legendary dnb anthems. However, the melody of the original has been transplanted into this banging remix by Cutline. Piano riff filled build ups, classic house-esque vocals and a harsh distorted drop form this dub smasher.

Skrillex - Rock N Roll (Will Take You to the Mountain)

Skrillex's new music video drops and is a great exhibition of touring this decade as an EDM musician. With cameos from all the main acts in the dubstep game, it is a treat just to pick them out. Also, the hype for the video made me remember the merits of this frenetic dubstep tune. My favourite part is when the "rudeboy bass, mash-up the place"; such an insanely heavy drop.

Wolfgang Gartner - Undertaker

In the last few days, I have been rummaging through the back catalogue of Wolfgang Gartner finding gem among gem and generally blasting a lot of quality house music. I have concluded that, as I expected, he is a genius and has evolved so much over the past few years. However, his ingenuity has remained throughout and is displayed clearly in a handful of his best pieces. I am featuring the best finds and most standout tunes below; the buildup melodies and synths are just banging.

Rusko - Asda 2 (Preview)

Rusko kills it with his new preview, Asda 2 (likely the working title). Old school simplicity makes this seem very promising sporting vowel bass aplenty and that special Rusko tempo that perfectly fits the uplifting filth of his tracks. I am sure we are all waiting with bated breath for the release in the near future, but for now we will have to settle for this.

Always Tomorrow (Figure's Drumstep Remix)

I have been a bit skeptical during the rise of drumstep as I couldn't quite get my head around how to treat it. However, with stellar tracks such as this adeptly produced piece from Figure, I am starting to see its promise. With a well paced drumstep rhythm remaining more true to dubstep than any other form of EDM, Hirshee's & Sue Cho's original has been transformed into a wobbling beast. Vowel bass, glitching distortions and synth pad hits make for this frenzy of everything encouraging in this emerging subgenre.
