Pick Your Heartbreak

Lets Start the new week with some quality jams that the music world has graced us with.

Porter Robinson new EP Spitfire blows me away, do yourself a favor and listen to this ear candy here. Let the whole thing play you will be blown away. This is Porter's year and this EP should bump him way up the list on DJ mags top 100 DJ's. Not one song is bad.

Nicky Romero keeps bringing everything he has to the table with his latest production. Take his new remix of "Without You" originally by David Guetta featuring Usher. He starts out with a nice buildup and combines some of Usher's vocals and makes this track nothing short than excellent.

Pick Your Poison By Diplo and Datsik has been out for awhile, sorry I really dropped the ball on this but for those of you that havent heard it, its a very intreasting collaboration between the two artists. It plays at 127 BPM which means it can be mixed into any house or electro set, but it's still a dubstep track.

  

Diplo & Datsik Pick Your Poison (Ft. Kay)

Skrillex always bring something intreasting to the table, so I was very interested when I came across this song while, I was surfing my blogs when I found this, A skrillex remix of SebastiAn's Love in Motion. For those of you that dont know SebastiAn is a phenomenal Deep house producer. Anyway the result is a soft core dubstep song that sounds really nice and easy.

J-tricks been present on the blog for a while now, and has produced some quality Moombahton hits. It really makes me excited to see him get on a track with David Heartbreak, a Moombahton super producer. Peep the song!

Heartbreak & J-Trick - Valley Girls (Original Mix) by J-TRICK

Alive was already an incredible track so I was very interested in what Tommy Trash could do to it. The drop is very different and hits harder then the original. Alas, Its only a preview, but it still should excite you for the release.

Finally, I wanted to pay a little tribute to the late great DJ Mehdi. So here's his set from the Mad Decent Block Party from the summer of 2011.

IDentity Festival, Washington DC (8/18/11)

Thursday I attended IDentity Festival in DC (actually in Bristow, VA) with JuliAn, and I thought I would share some highlights for you (in reverse chronological order). The biggest headliners, Rusko and Kaskade were great; but of course, I would expect nothing less. Although I enjoyed his set at Electric Zoo much more so, I loved the reggae and drum n' bass influence Rusko included this time around. He dropped some new tracks, but unfortunately I couldn't quite track them down. The best I can do for you right now is a BBC Radio 1 rip of the brand new "Somebody to Love". Kaskade also threw down from a DJ booth that towered above the crowd. His set was solid yet a bit bland at some points. His remix of "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" did, however, blow the crowd up.

Kaskade also dropped his newest single, Eyes.

Three other acts really stood out to me: Avicii, Modeselektor, and Booka Shade. Some I expected more from, like DatSik; whose set I was looking forward to (finally some dubstep in the day I thought), but I quickly got bored of his DJing and left his set to immerse myself in the feel good vibes of Avicii. Unlike my colleagues here at Electric Squeeze, I'm not the biggest house fanatics, but I did not want Avicii's set to end.

Not surprisingly, many DJs dropped some version of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep", this was Avicii's.

Avicii Levels (Clockwork Remix)


After that I scurried off to wait for Nero's performance and was surprised to find an insultingly small stage. Unfortunately, me and many others were left heartbroken when Nero never showed. The result was our departure and trip to the Main Stage where dubstep king, Rusko, was playing. It was later discovered that the promoter of the festival had bumped Nero off the line-up last minutes to accommodate Markus Schultz. I will keep my opinions on this matter private. Modeselektor brought the heavy, heavy electro beats to a modest crowd early in the day. I don't know about their matching jumpsuits, but they really got me excited for the crazy day ahead.

The first act we saw was German tech house duo, Booka Shade. Their set started off pretty chill, but built up quickly. I really liked their set up with live drums, which was a break from all the synthetic sounds of electronic music. Check out some of their tunes off of last year's More!


Booka Shade Bad Love

Finally, a really exciting part of the beginning of the day was that our very own DJ Rew!nd got a chance to perform at the Local Stage. Albeit in front of an early crowd, he threw down, blasting everything from SHM to Chuckie.

Overall the ten hours of music shot my ears for awhile, but was totally worth it. For DC's first major electronic music festival, a showing of 12,000 is far from bad. The festival could have been much more organized, as set times were posted minutes before the festival and the different stages were not clearly marked, but oh well. You still have to hand it to the organizers because when you think of the DC music scene electronic music is not the first thing that comes to mind, but you never know what the future holds.

Cheers!

Filthy First Impression

Hey there all you Squeezers

I'm new around here.

I'm a friend of the guy who runs this thing, he asked me if I'd put up some tracks for him

Finally, after months, I'm posting.

Told you I would man.

In honour of my first post, I thought I'd make a good first impression.

And by good, of course, I mean violent and filthy.

Borgore Borgore - Kinder Surprise (ft.Tomba)

That track is a collaboration between two of the grimiest dubsteppers out there, Israelis Borgore and Tomba. I love the violence in this track; having a drop that loud and angry is appropriate right after the sound of a bomb going off. You can really feel the anger in these guys.

I heard this next song played by Borgore himself at his last show in Philly. If I were directing a monster movie, I would employ Skrillex to make the sound the gargantuan man-eating-part-robot beast makes before he rampages around the country, because that's what I hear at the beginning of this track.

Skrillex Scatta (Original Mix)

Gotta give a shoutout to one of the forefathers of BWOMP, Rusko. This guy really helped to make this sound popular. This next track is from Boregore's Ice Cream Mixtape, which features various other artists' various awesome songs.

Rusko Sick And Tired

Last one. You guys are gonna see a lot of Datsik and Excision in my posts, partly because they always collaborate and partly because they work so well together I don't know why they haven't permanently joined forces yet. For those with swag who've ever lost it.

Download Datsik Excision Swagga

Filthy. Just filthy.

I'll be posting on a bunch of electro, but I thought I'd start you guys off with what my brain sounds like when it's quiet in the room.

Oh, and there's lots more grime where that slopped off from.

Till next time,

Greatest Hits: DUBSTEP

Hey hey this is a MEGAPOST y'all! Dubstep is the metal for electronic music lovers, born out South London's 2-step garage scene and dnb, and everybody loves it. This post is dedicated to some of my favorite dubstep songs from the past year or so, some very popular, some random as hell, all womp womp worthy. Enjoy the drops coming to you in 320 yo. :)


It's Unicorn Kid coming at ya! Some video game vibes with a kick.

Unicorn Kid Dream Catcher

If you haven't heard this one, I'm giving you a serious side eye right now...

Rusko Da Cali Anthem

One of my all time favorite heavy hitters. This song made me realize that dubstep is so fucking good because it's unlike anything else most of us have heard.

Subvader Pouncer

A newer one, by Skrillex, so sickk.

Skrillex Kill Everybody (Original Mix)

An 90s riff with some serious filth. This one makes me feel evil in the best way possible.

Doctor P Sweet Shop

A great one from 2010 by fucking Flux.

Freestylers feat. Belle Humble Cracks (Flux Pavillion Remix)

Finally, some dubstep remixes that are miles better than the original:

This post would be incomplete without Sub Focus' remix of Rusko's "Hold On". This one is so good Rusko himself drops it at his shows instead of the original.

Rusko Hold On (feat. Amber Coffman) (Sub Focus Remix)

Nero took on The Streets and makes bass magic with it.

The Streets In the Middle (Nero Remix)

Bong-Bong-Bong-Bonkers! DOORLY

Dizzee Rascal & Armand Van Helden Bonkers (Doorly Remix)

Be afraid, be very afraid. There is no escape.
