Feed Me stopped by Michigan this April Fool's, and here are some of the new tunes Kill the Noise was dropping, particularly the new Zedd and Skrillex/12th Planet.
This song's been blowing up in EDM, getting remixed by tons of dubstep artists, and dropped in just as many artists' sets.
Deadmau5 put on a little event in Miami during ultra called Mau5hax. Basically they live streamed Moguai, mau5, and Foreign Beggars putting a track together in a few hours. It's a little under polished at this point, but a dope song nonetheless.
deadmau5 doesn't collab much, if you're interested in his logic, check out his website. But here's one he did a while ago with Cypress Hill, but never released. Snagged it off his Soundcloud, its a funky bassy song, with some vocals and a chill vibe. Check it out.
So I'm sitting here, thinking back on a deadmau5 show I went to about a month ago, and it occured to me, I didn't know where the sample he mashed up and morphed into Some Chords. Sounded familiar, but just couldn't place it. Well a quick youtube search turned it, and some new found respect for Joel Zimmerman up. A Bill O'Reilly sample? Its genius, Bill is such a twat, and this clip is hilarious.
I've seen Deadmau5 3 times now. The first time was at the Fillmore Theatre in Detroit, and it was awesome. The 2nd was at the Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center and it sucked. Last night, I caught his 2nd show of two at yet again, the Fillmore. Once again, it was awesome. Funkagenda opened, and was super sick, though I thought Excision was going to be there.
Ok, well the Top 5 from August comes a while late, because I was without internet for a while, and Soundcloud revamped some of their stuff and it was super glitchy for a while. Enjoy:
1. I'm In Need - Savoy
I'm In Need (Original Mix) by Savoy
Probably the most massive dubstep song released in a while...and I didn't think Savoy even did dub. Well I guess they do now, because people are gonna want more of this shit.
2. Raise Your Weapon (Madeon Remix) - Deadmau5 (Electro House)
Zomboy - Game Time by 1ReySon
Zomboy is a pretty new comer to the game, his "Game Time" EP was huge, absolutely blew up on Beatport, and rightfully so. Peanut-Butter Jelly Time!
4. How It Looks - Boy Kid Cloud (Dubstep)
Boy Kid Cloud - How It Looks by ScareMusic
Rusko has been a fan of dropping this one. Sounds sort of like one part Skrillex, one part, "Everyday" Netsky Remix. Big fan all around.
Flux Pavilion - Bass Cannon (Zomboy Remix) by 1ReySon
Bass Cannon is a hard song to remix I would guess. Its so epic already. Zomboy blew up this month, and this was part of it. Heard this song dropped in Skrillex sets, Nero sets, everyones sets. Its like a fidget remix of the womp-tastic Bass Cannon.

Honorable mention goes to Pink Lady by Feed Me. The song has been out for a while, but its just so nifty. With a beat slower than typical dubstep and a sound all it's own, Pink Lady has a style all her own.
Fresh from Feed Me's lair, here's another track of his featuring Tasha Baxter, entitled Strange Behavior. Not quite as good as Cloudburn, his other tune with Ms. Baxter, but good nonetheless. Enjoy. Strange Behaviour feat. Tasha Baxter by youfeedme
Before he was Feed Me, Jon Gooch he was Spor. He recently released an EP under his old moniker, which I'm a huge fan of. The original vocal mix traverses a sort of smooth-dub style, but the Kito remix ft. Reija Lee (check her out on Sweet Talk, also ft. Kito, and Run You Down,) is a totally different beast. It's not often that a remix outdoes an original here on the electronic scene, but Kito's mix is an exception; it's easily my favorite track of the month. Don't be expecting any chaotic synths or bassy dub, this one's slow and minimalist. Jon, more of this shit please.
Reija's voice vibes incredibly well on the slower tracks like Pacifica, but also incredibly well on harder dub tracks like this one from Phetsta: Run You Down featuring Reija Lee by phetsta
Continuing on the heavier dubstep note, Deadmau5 released some remixes of Raise Your Weapon. If you're familiar with Noisia you can pretty much predict what's coming next with this track. Lots of punchy dub, but nothing too groundbreaking. Deadmau5 - Raise Your Weapon (Noisia Remix) by NOISIA
