Top 5 - November

1. Anticipate (Netsky Remix) - Skream ft. Sam Frank (Drum & Bass)
Skream Ft. Sam Frank - Anticipate (Netsky Remix) by Jamie McCartney
It seems like everyone is making the screechy, heavy, chaotic dubstep these days.  The simple and uplifting is still left to the masters, like Skream.

2. Kill The Noise (Dillon Francis Remix) - Kill The Noise ( Experimental/Moombahton)
Kill The Noise - Kill The Noise (Dillon Francis Remix) by DILLONFRANCIS

Kill The Noise is yet again the latest on Skrillex's label OWLSA to put out a massive album.  Only 10 songs long, which atleast 4 of which are remixes, but the album, "Kill Kill Kill" is quite good regardless.  Pretty heavy, even when staying at a house beat, so be prepared

3. Internet Friends (Original Mix) - Knife Party (Electro-House)
Knife Party - Internet Friends by New Hot Stuff
You blocked me on Facebook...and now you're going to die.

4. Dying (Original Mix) - Kill The Noise - (Dubstep)
Kill The Noise feat Ultraviolet Sound & Emily Hudson - Dying by i-heart-bass
Also another huge track off "Kill Kill Kill", with the lovely addition of female vocals from Emily Hudson.

5. Shave It (501 Remix) - Zedd (Dubstep)
Zedd - Shave It (501 Remix) by 1ReySon
Shave It was huge, and the Aftershave remixes were dope as well.  501's remains my favorite.  Wow 4/5 top songs this month were OWSLA, feelin' like a fanboy right now : /

Why Can't the Mothership Tour come to Michigan?

holy $h!t

So in my boredom, I was looking up videos of concerts, and came across one from Skrillex's current Mothership Tour. His stage is essentially the dubstep version of deadmau5's with a cool twist. Skrillex wears a full body motion suit (that strangely doesn't look much different than his normal apparel), which controls a variety of robots or zombies on the screen behind him. It's pretty damn cool....go youtube it, but here's a quick picture of it, as well as one of his unreleased tracks, which I'm really happy to say he sings on once again. That androgynous nasally "is it a guy or a girl?" voice gets me every time

Shave it Remixes & Other OWSLA Releases

Skream is the man

So whether or not you're a fan of Skrillex, you have to respect what he's being doing with his indie label, OWLSA.  They just put out some cool remixes of Zedd's electro-house banger "Shave It".  Remixers include Kaskade, and a dubstep mix by 501.

Also released today was a song Skream did on OWLSA, entitled "Anticipate".  Skream was one of the original dubsteppers, and he continues to prove that sometimes less is more.  This song so subtle, and so good.  Netsky provides a nice DnB mix thats a bit more uptempo.  Both are sick.

Quick Look @ Dillon Francis

Who is Dillon Francis and what does he do?

Well, Dillon Francis is a sort of a up-and-comer on the EDM scene, hailing from LA, and he does Moombah.  And he does it real well.  He seems like he should be a protege of Skrillex, seeing as how he's one of the only artists to be using those screechy and talking-bass sort of sounds as well as Sonny Moore himself.  The only difference, he sticks mostly to Moombahton and that funky 108-112 BPM range.  It's rad, and blowing up fast.  Mark my words, Moombah is the new Dubstep, and Dillon Francis is the new Skrillex.

Steve Aoki has a new track out ft. Rivers Cuomo of Weezer. It's pretty good....this versions better:

Time Takers - She Blows (The Whistle Tune) (Dillon Francis Remix) by Ministry of Sound

Peace, Love and Moombah ya'll

Top 5 - October

So once again, I fail to get this up before the month's end, but here's what you shoulda been listening to in our glorious 10th month of the year.

1. I.D.G.A.F.O.S - Dillon Francis (Moombahton)
Dillon Francis - I.D.G.A.F.O.S. by DILLONFRANCIS
Moombah continues to rise, and evolve, as Dillon Francis uses some similar sounds to that of dubstep.  Lo and behold, everyone loves it.

2. Fresh Scream - Al Bizzare - (Electro House)
Al Bizzare - Fresh Scream (Original Mix) by Al Bizzare (Official)
This sound kinda sounds like 1/2 Feed Me, 1/2 deadmau5 and a pinch of Skrillex.  That might be a little bit of an exaggeration as such a collaboration would be awesome, but I definitely hear a bit of each in it.


3. Meanwhile, In the Future - KOAN Sound (Experimental/Dubstep)
Meanwhile, In The Future by KOAN Sound
Newcomers KOAN Sound dropped an EP, every track of which is catchy.  Some are a bit more minimal and experimental, some go hard.  All in sound, their sound is fresh and needed.

4. Crush On You (KillSonik Remix) - Nero
Nero - Crush On You (KillSonik Remix) by TeeGeetal
This song got remixed to hell this month, Knife Party, Brodinski, and KillSonik's remixes all stand out, but I gotta give it to KillSonik as the most useful versatile mix.

5. Kill Everybody (KOAN Sound Remix) - Skrillex
Skrillex - Kill Everybody (KOAN Sound Remix) by KOAN Sound
KOAN Sound has been killing it enough to merit a double capture of the Top 5, this time with their remix of Skrillex's "Kill Everybody"

KOAN Sound kills it

So KOAN Sound's first release under Skrillex's label OWSLA, Funk Blaster EP, dropped today and is pretty damn fresh.  They shy away from the super screechy dubstep noises, as well as the typical 70BPM, opting instead for a lot of low register noises, at around 100BPM.  Check it out, pretty catchy.
