Another great track by an artist I’ve enjoyed following, Opiuo. Goofy name to remember, but some excellent tracks. Love the mix of string instruments and the bassline of this song, definitely something you can nod your head and chill out to. Hit him up on his Facebook and show some love.
Great remix from a talented young glitch-hop producer, I believe this to be one of my favorite variations of this now classic track by The Glitch Mob. Great use of the sounds in the original, and a great take on the melody, the song is clearly a tribute yet it definitely has it’s own distinct sound. All I can say is that I look forward to the new EP to be released by Cryptex, you can learn more about it on his Facebook.
A simply great EP from the up and comer himself, definitely one of the EPs where he “discovered” his now current sound, a huge difference from the Cricket EP. The warm tones and the deep bass definitely are a signature, but this track mixes that up a little bit, with the rest of the album containing more of that signature sound. But enough talk, download for yourself and let the tracks do the talking.

Really unique track, loved the vocals (the original version has a male voice, both fitting, but I enjoyed this one more) and the music itself is bound to get stuck in your head. Looking forward to hearing more from Artful, I’m glad to see electronic artists working with singers on songs that don’t come out too “clubbish”, if that makes any sense. Overall just a well done track.
I haven’t been able to get a hold of Dalvee, but I was looking to post another submission and someone submitted this on his behalf, and let’s just say that when I read the title I was doubtful… but ended up being pretty surprised, this is catchy and includes all of the appropriate dubstep elements without being ridiculous. I know some people might think it too close to the original, or lacking a “sick drop”, but I found myself nodding my head as is, so nice work, enjoy!
Another great meld of electronic production and hip-hop courtesy of the really talented Free The Robots, who has a soulful and sometimes jazz like production style incorporated into his catchy melodies. Not sure if this is a mashup or full on remix, as I haven’t heard the original version of this song, nonetheless, I think you’ll dig it. Enjoy!

I went over how dubstep can be a tough genre to succeed/stand out in, and I’d have to add that it is even more difficult with a hip-hop mashup, as everyone seems to do them and sometimes they come out… well, shitty. This however, succeeds in what it sets out to accomplish, which is being an easy to jam to party mix of a popular track, so I’m glad to feature it here and hope to hear more good stuff by the artist, KillaGraham.
New track by Bassnectar off of an upcoming release called “Divergent Spectrum”, released for free for a short time only to Bassnectar’s newsletter subscribers. Definitely a solid start and release for the new album, has a decidedly straightforward sound, I sort of wish a bit more original released was pushed for this new set of tracks, but a solid single nonetheless. Since this track is only available for free via the newsletter, I can’t share a direct link, but I will message you the link if you follow me on Twitter (you can unfollow afterwards) and I will also give you the link to submit your email and join Bassnectar’s newsletter.

One of the funkiest remixes of a classic that I’ve heard recently, you’d have to have some confidence to touch a track like this, but luckily Opiuo really does this one well. I’ll be looking forward to more from this artist, I like when an up and comer isn’t afraid to tackle classic tracks and really try something different.
Off of the great remix album hosted by Download To Donate, (which I recommend you support) it features a lot of talented upcoming acts, and was where I first heard of Beats Antique and R/D, so it was a pretty important release for me. Today however, I’m featuring the super clean remix by St. Andrews of The Glitch Mob’s “Between Two Points”, with super crisp drums and a nice melody this one definitely does the original justice.
