RELAUNCH!

Allright, finally got the new blog layout up and running. It still needs some tweaking and fine-tuning here and there, but it should be pretty much “surfable”. Hoping to add some more new stuff later this week as well. If the website doesn’t look very good you are probably are using an outdated version of Internet Explorer, don’t know if i’ll fine tune the website for those browsers in the future. So what’s new to the layout? A bit of re-arrenging and some CSS3 stuff along with a Featured Content box to highlight the most important posts! You can also rate posts now, gives a good measurement of what people like and what not of course!

While counting down to the new launch I also started a quest for new writers, we are thinking about “recruiting” one extra poster for Electro/House and one for DnB/Dubstep, had a lot of candidates who will all be contacted with further info if they are still interested!

So that’s the most important stuff so far, all other changes in the next weeks will be posted on facebook and twitter!

And to hopefully make up for our absence ….:

Dubstep Round Up #4

A lot of big tunes have been popping up since the last Dubstep Round Up (click), so I guess it’s time for a new one!
I’ll start things off with two brand new mixtapes. The first one by Breakage is for the fans of ‘deep’ dubstep. Roots Manuva describes his music as “talking to sealife” (you know.. cause it’s soo deep).

Breakage – Essential Mix (01-05-2010) (download)

If you like your dubstep really filthy, the next mixtape by Diesel will be your cup of tea! Both tracklists can be found in the comments.

Diesel – May the 4th Be With You (Diesel May Mix 2010)

Alright enough with the mixtapes, now some fresh tunes!
Most of you probably already knew this, but Rusko‘s new album ‘O.M.G.’ is about to drop! The following tracks are stream-only, you’ll have to wait till the album release on May 10th (see picture).

The Others – Gravity

Drum & Bass producers who suddenly make the switch to Dubstep, it happened before and it will happen again. For example Eddie K, who used to make jump up D&B and now makes filthy dubstep. Yay!

For the next track, Cookie Monsta sampled the vocals of “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometimes” and added a big, rolling bassline to it.

Style change of the year goes to… George Lenton! No more heavy bangers, just nice laid back music now. Remember “San Angel”? If you don’t listen to it here

Dirty Dubstep

Here’s some dubstep to get you through this rainy day..
16bit made a real banger. The bass kicks in after only 10 seconds to get you started.

16bit – Can You Show Me What Head Is // 16bit

This one’s from Crissy Criss’ latest 12″ (backed with Pimp Game). Big release if you ask me. Not a big fan of the vocals though…

Crissy Criss – Kick Snare (Ft. Youngman) // Crissy Criss

Nice tune by upcoming producer Raven.

Raven – Stagga // Raven

Alborosie, an Italian reggae artist based in Kingston, Jamaica, got remixed by Bassnectar. He didn’t change too much, just an efficient rework.

Alborosie – Kingston Town (Bassnectar Bootleg Remix) // Bassnectar

BONUS:

This Rusko production is not dubstep, but just a nice, happy tune. [99 BPM]

Kotchy – Sing What You Want (Rusko’s Skwee Remix) // Rusko

The Prodigy – Take Me To The Hospital (Rusko Remix)

Awesome video from AOOA.TV introducing Rusko’s latest remix.
