And you've probably heard Zedd's remix of "Save the World" by Swedish House Mafia. Knife Party brings a remix for those of you wishing there was a grimey-er mix out there. Save the World (Knife Party Remix) by Fresh On Campus
To me, Excision has been a bit dormant lately. But when you see he's teamed up with Downlink, it usually means good things. This is no exception: Excision and Downlink - The Underground by ScareMusic
Maybe not new to some of you, but Skrillex put a pretty new and fresh remix out of Sebastian's tune "Love in Motion". Pretty straight forward, good shit.
Gemini put out a few hits this past Spring, with "Blue" and "Stronger", and now his "Graduation" EP is coming out, and the womp keeps coming. Once a full link is available, we'll put it up.
Aside from dubstep, I've been hearing an influx of Moombahton, and it's awesome. Here are some to get your started from Munchi, Alvin Risk, and Tittsworth:
Alvin Risk is one of the first 3 DJs signed to Skrillex's OWSLA record label, which just released Porter Robinson's first full length album. Alvin Risk's remix of "Diminishing Returns" is a huge dubstep track, and it turns out he's not half bad at Moombah either.
Finally, just a suggestion, Porter Robinson's new album "Spitfire", the first release off Sonny Moore's (Skrillex) record label OWSLA is now streaming on Grooveshark. It has dub, it has Moombah, it has electro-house, its all quite nice.
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.
Been pretty busy and dormant on the new music lately. I had forgotten about an artist by the name of KOAN Sound until I heard he was one of three (along with Porter Robinson, and Alvin Risk) to be signed to Skrillex's new record label OWLSA. You can hate on Skrillex for being mainstream or over the top as much as you want, but he probably couldn't have picked 3 better artists than those to start out with. I mean Alvin Risk's "Diminishing Returns" is absolutely huge! Anyways, you might have heard the song "Trouble in the West" by Koan Sound, but this ones just as good:
And then theres a song from a fairly new-come-er to the scene: Boy Kid Cloud. I haven't heard all that much from him, but his latest single is catchy: Boy Kid Cloud - How It Looks by ScareMusic
You probably heard about the Vans Warp Tour-esque, touring Electronic Festival, by the name of Identity Festival. Though not all artists appeared at each venue, most every city was graced with Nero, Steve Aoki, Kaskade, Disco Biscuit, Datsik and More. Some of the artists appearing at only a few shows were Rusko, Avicii, Skrillex, Pretty Lights and Afrojack. I caught the stop at Michigan, which didn't have any of these special acts sadly, but for 30$ this was a fun chance to get drunk and have some fun without all the hassle of traveling to a full blown festival. Here are some video highlights from the fest.
