Miles Dyson - I-Tune

Miles Dyson seamlessly blends hard hitting electro with retro house in his banger I-Tune. This is unadulterated club for the masses and has anthem written all over it. While many electro releases recently have been loaded with over-diversity and aggression, here minimalism comes up trumps; I just can't get enough of the drop.

The Others - Disko

The Others and Distinction bring out a beautifully paced and unique take at dubstep. This seems to create the right mood in every situation; completely empowering.

On the topic of The Others is their outstanding EP, which was released last year, whose title track was one of the most memorable of 2010.

Sandstorm (Vaski Remix)

Pure crowd pleaser with this epic remix of the dancefloor classic by Darude. Vaski realises the importance of not over mixing the original and pulls it off with style; pure genius placing the drop a few seconds after the crowd thinks they've hit the climax.

Les Enfants (Gesaffelstein Remix)

Something a little more chill and off-the-wall today as we see the latest mix of the house duo, Cassius. Along with the staple original and mixes by names such as Skream that have been filling the airwaves recently lies the true gem of the release; an all consuming electronic odyssey. The Gesaffelstein remix sees a truly psychedelic take on house while still retaining a more than club worthy drop.

Cockney Thug (Caspa's Sub Soldier Remix)

An absolute classic from one of the best producers out there gets a remix by the master of dirty pleasure, Caspa. He once again does what few manage; produces basslines so heavy it will cause a prolapsed ear canal and what is truly unique about this though, is that he somehow makes you enjoy the carnage. Mental synths and "FUCK" sampled every 16 bars; pure ecstasy. Now, "Wake the fuck up!".

The original is slightly less aurally disturbing but just as earth shaking. If you haven't already heard it then you should give it a listen here.

The Prototypes - Breathless

Drum and bass is truly a unique genre that can get the listener completely pumped or chill one out after a big night, but recently it seems to somewhat have been pushed out of the underground limelight due to the continuing success of dubstep. So here's a little reminder of what drum and bass can be; powerful yet sweetly subtle. From the first word, you realise that this track is aimed at empowering the audience and then caving in their chests. A mix up of some drumstep for the intro layered with dominant pads builds up for the Pendulum-esque drop and bassline. Enjoy.

And for those of you who are such filth heads that you need a devastating drop today then here is the Cutline remix of The Prototypes - Cascade.

So heavy that I got a disciplinary warning just for playing this. Enough Said.

Raw 2 Da Floor (Lazy Rich Remix)


Fusion is incredible. Recently, many electro-house releases have been borrowing from the repertoire of techniques and sounds that dubstep holds dear and it creates a truly dramatic result. This immense remix of Calverton is no exception; prepare to be violated Raw 2 Da floor style.

Garage Nostalgia

With the recent UK Garage revival seeing Katy B and Ms. Dynamite in the charts with Lights On and hopefully more great grime tracks to follow, I have been reminiscing and listening to the classics. Here are a couple songs that should be kept in mind to steer this emerging comeback in the right direction. As Sacha Baron Cohen said "...tune in all your radios to the baddest speed garage station and crank up the volume to the max."


Oxide & Neutrino - Shoot To Kill

Bass Down Low (Proper Villians Remix)

To those who don't think that remixing is an art as much as original production is, this is proof that you are wrong. The Cataracs version was down right awful to be honest and nothing but a cheap attempt at a money spinning quick pop/club track. However, put it in the hands of deranged dubstep producer Proper Villians and it finally lives up to its name. Don't we all like our bass down low?

Star (Doctor P Remix)

Doctor P never fails to deliver; with his unwaveringly filthy drops and his well produced, tight beats, every release is waited for with bated breath and this one is no different. He weaves his signature sounds with a refreshing yet deep second drop that provides dubstep with what it rarely sees, a melody. And after hearing this song you wonder why you don't hear this done more often since it works perfectly. So here is today's feature, Blame's Star remixed by Doctor P.



DOWNLOAD
There are actually three versions of the remix, an instrumental and two vocal remixes; my favourite is the no rap vocal remix.


And for those of you who don't know Doctor P, you must be living under a rock but nonetheless here is his signature track which was spun in every dubstep set of 2010, Sweet Shop.

Club Crashers (Caligula Remix)

It's all about being lulled into a false sense of security with an intro that causes the most dubstep-induced psychological confusion immediately following the drop. A slightly cheesy but immense no-holds-barred remix of the already club worthy Club Crashers by Hot Pink Delorean features today.

Also for those of you that haven't heard the original, give it a listen here.

Wolfgang Gartner - Space Junk

Today's release is the banger Space Junk by Wolfgang Gartner. A massive slice of electro with sublime melodies intertwined with some seriously hard hitting beats. Sliding synths and vocoders aplenty, this supplants you into a breakdancing trance. Plays every night to get myself and my fellow sewer rats pumped for the night ahead.
