Hawt Summer Incoming

1 Comment »

A lot of new songs are coming out and I think I need to share the good ones with you guys. The “Almost Summer” top5 is out of date and it’s time for new tracks.

First of all, Kabz and SOLO released some new stuff a couple days/weeks ago and they are worth mentioning. Kabz released a new mix (more filthy dubstep!) and SOLO released a track. For more info on KABZ click HERE and for mroe info on SOLO click HERE.

HEEEAAAVVVYYY DUB - Glitchstep by DJ KaBz (Click the link for the tracklist) Ghost Train (feat. DJ SOLO) - Datsik by DJ SOLO

Solo is working on a mix right now and he is also working on a collaboration with your favorite writer, me. It should be out in a couple weeks! We’re remixing an emo song. There should be two versions, one wobbly and more dubstepish, and another one that is less wobbly and more “regular”. I’ll post both of them as soon as we’re done.

Also, make sure you check both’s soundcloud, there’s a lot of fun stuff on there, like a remix of Borgore’s “Love”. SOLO’s page - KABZ’ page

Alright, time for the top5.

I think it would be great to start with some club music (even though I’m not a big fan of traditional clubs). Most of you probably know this song since it’s been out for a while now, but it’s still very hot club-wise, and if you understand french, it’s pretty funny.

#4- Helmutz Fritz – Ça m’énerve (Club Mix)

Then let’s follow up with two fucking massive bangers (like huge, like I mean like you know, like HUGE like you know my what, like yeah I’m that type of guy, deal with it). ESTOY RICO (no it doesn’t mean I’m rich, it means I’m delicious). Anyways… David Guetta and Sidney Samson up in this bitch. Put your sexiest panties and start dancing (girls only, please).

#2- Madonna – Revolver (David Guetta Extended Mix)

#1- David Guetta & Chris Willis Feat. Fergie & LMFAO - Gettin' Over You (Sidney Samson Remix)

Obviously, a top5 wouldn’t be a real top5 without dubstep. Two pretty refreshing tracks, but before I say anything, I don’t like Lady Gaga, but Rusko is amazing.

#5- Lady Gaga – Alejandro (Rusko's Papuseria Remix)

Here is the first real remix that I love of a Rusko track. Sub Focus delivers.

#3- Rusko – Hold On (Sub Focus Remix)

 

BONUS: I came across this remix the other day and it’s pretty neat! Woot woot.

Ludacris - How Low (J.Lindley Dubstep Remix)

From New York with Love

Aight aight, so I’m back from NY and I’m getting pretty bored. Turns out, having nothing to do gets boring pretty fast, especially when you're away from your computer and more importantly, your source of new music. But now that that is all behind me, the future seems relatively bright, part from all those hours that will be spent at my job.

Ok so about the bright future I mentioned, turns out Gareth Emery is coming to Montreal June 23rd in what is, my opinion a very underpublicized event, I mean it isn’t every day that you get to see one of the World’s top ten Djs for under 20$. Most definitely worth the two hours of salary if you ask me.

So far I’ve only posted  Exposure but here are a couple more beast tracks.

On a Metropolis Day – Gareth Emery vs. Oceanlab (Myon and Shane 54 Mashup)

So this is pretty much a super track, this is what happens when you have Gareth, Above & Beyond’s project Oceanlab and finally mashup specialists Myon and Shane 54 teaming to form one track.

Global – Gareth Emery

One of his most recent productions, in the same lines as Exposure. Sorry about the start, it was ripped from Armin Van Buuren’s A State of Trance.

This is That Silence – Gareth Emery vs. Delerium (Black Army Mashup)

Okay so you have Delerium’s epic Silence mashed into Emery’s This is That and when you listen to them separately, you know this mash was meant to be. Super vocals by Sarah McLachlan (never thought I’d say that).

Metaverse – Dj Orkidea (Gareth Emery Remix)

Just good to chill to.

Aight so one other crazy thing caught my attention but this one is so crazy it’s out of this world, the line-up alone shames Bal en Blanc. It’s called Electric Zoo and its taking place in New York.

Alright so like I mentioned, the lineup is beyond insane, they say that it is headlined by Chemical Brothers and Armin van Buuren but that only because Americans are shameful promoters, for this venue anyways. It goes like this:

Day 1 - September 4th

The Chemical Brothers, Paul Van Dyk (who should headline because of his awesomness),Benny Benassi, Richie Hawtin, ATB, Major Lazer, Kaskade.

Day 2 - September 5th

Armin van Buuren (a must see),  John Digweed, Fedde Le Grand, Above & Beyond (must see también), Boys Noize, Bassnectar.

Also that weekend: Diplo, Laidback Luke, Afrojack, Gareth Emery, A-Track, Markus Schultz, Rusko, Steve Aoki & more!

Road trip anyone?

Additional writers was supposed to mean additional and more frequent posts. Yet, its been almost two weeks since anyone has written anything. We should consider a rotation of some sort.

Lately, I've been trying to diversify within the different types of electronic music that I listen to. It feels sort of weird to go from a high energy house track to some relaxing trance, but Gareth Emery is great. Seriously, Exposure is amazing and he has lots of other awesome tracks too (Props to Ellis).

So in my quest for diversity, I stumbled upon a Montreal based DJ by the name of Geoff Buchanan. He was introduced to me by a musically gifted friend of mine who is going to win Canadian Idol next year. Geoff is a 21 year old guy from Quebec who started his music career by performing in a few metal bands. He fell in love with synthesizing sounds and manipulating them to his liking. This is what he claims played the biggest role in propelling him towards dubstep. Don't be surprised if you don't hear too many wobbles in his songs. Geoff is an innovator in the sense that he tries to distance himself from the genre as he welcomes the "experimental" adjective that is often attributed to his tunes. I encourage his experiments, because as you guys will soon hear, his style is very entertaining and refreshing. He recently released a four track EP called Fashion Crasher under Monkey Dub Recordings, a record label which also employs Man of Zion and Dub Junkies.

This first track is from his EP and is my favorite of the four.
Heads You Live by Geoff Buchanan

This one is called Molotov


Now THIS is experimental dubstep
Liquid Cocaine by Geoff Buchanan

Feel free to check out Geoff's myspace, soundcloud, youtube channel and personal website for more.

In addition to awesome new styles of dubstep, I've got more tracks.

This kid from South Africa is only 18 years old and has provided me with the dirtiest stuff I've heard in a long time. Try to guess where the dialogue is from.

Gas Mask - Skare (Updated 2010)


This is a new Dizzee Rascal track. I'm not a big fan of rap, but I love this guy. The dubstepish background beat makes this song very enjoyable.

Heavy - Dizzee Rascal ft. Chase & Status

This tune is from a German duo named Hey Today!. They sound a lot like Boys Noize, a German counterpart. Coincidence? I do not think so.

Toasted - Hey Today! (Original Mix)

Don't believe me? See for yourself.

Jeffer - Boys Noize

One more thing: if you live in the Montreal area and you would like to see Geoff live, send us an e-mail and we will let you know about his upcoming performances.
