Video!: DOGSTEP! (Dubstep Dancing Dogs)

This is preposterous (my new favorite word of late). That is all.
 

It's Kinda Like That

As a blogger, I have a (very) long list of songs and ideas for posts. As I was cruising the interwebz, I came across this gem, and I decided I had to interupt my planned programming because this was just too good to pass up. Take one (1) epicly awesome picture, add two (2) massive dubstep songs, put it in Blogger for 5 minutes at 350 degrees, and you have yourself a great post.

Oh, and yes, dubstep is kinda like that.

 White Satin (Original Mix) - Zeds Dead - Great Moody Blues sample. Zeds Dead always delivers.

 Cozza Frenzy (Bassnectar Mega-Bass Remix) - Bassnectar - Wasn't aware you could give this song more bass. You learn new things every day.

Perfect Stranger (Feat. Katy B) - Magnetic Man

Another cut featuring Ms. Katy B. This time, on the production side, we have Benga combining with Skream & Artwork to form dubstep supergroup Magnetic Man. It'll be interesting to see dubstep's evolution in 2011, with artists like Magnetic Man bringing it into the spotlight.

Katy on a Mission (Feat. Benga) - Katy B

Katy B, the dubstep songstress of the moment, released this record as the first single off her debut album, On a Mission, which dropped last summer. Benga co-wrote and produced the track, foreshadowing the work Katy B would go on to do with Magnetic Man. The song is definitely dubstep, but more like dubstep lite. It's got some commercial appeal, and it's songs like this that are going to bring the genre into the mainstream.

The Freeizm Album - Skream

Lot's of groups seem to be jumping on the free album train for Christmas (anybody heard the new Gorillaz album?), which I have absolutely no problem with. In the past, I haven't been a big Skream fan, his work is usually too dark and minimalist for me. There's always room for second chances when it comes to music though; the UK producer just dropped a free album, aptly titled "The Freeizm Album", and I'm loving it. "Emotional Shizzle", "Skwelcha", and "Cold Outside" are my favorites, so make sure to give those a listen.


Tracklist and download after the jump.

Skrillex

First, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas yesterday! Now on to some new music.

If you read any music blog that even pretends to follow electronic music, you've most likely heard of Skrillex recently. The screamo band frontman turned electronic artist has been taking the EDM world by storm. His rise has been quick; he has just finished opening for Deadmau5 on his latest tour after only releasing his debut EP early this year. At one point in the near past, he held 8 of the top 10 spots on Beatport, a feat no artist had ever before accomplished.

The only way I can describe these next two songs: mind destroyers. Brace yourself.

Scary Monsters & Sprites - Skrillex

In For The Kill (Skrillex Remix) - La Roux

Strobe (Mr. Carmack's Dubstep Remix) - Deadmau5

My favorite Deadmau5 song, with one of the greatest synth lines of all time. Dubstep, the genre I can't seem to get enough of lately. Combine the two, and you have one of the best songs I've found all year. Interestingly, this guy Mr. Carmack has a style that sounds quite similar to Mau5's newest single "Raise Your Weapon". Play this one loud.

Lemonade (Heroes+Villains Remix) - Gucci Mane

UPDATE PT. II:

Another DMCA notice, so I had to remove the link to the La Roux/Major Lazer track. Luckily, you can still find it here on the original Lazerproof Mixtape.


UPDATE:



Had to redo this post because of a damn DMCA notice. While I was trying to repost it, it got deleted and I'm too lazy to redo the entire thing.

Summary: Found this originally at the end of my favorite song off of Major Lazer & La Roux's Lazerproof mixtape. Yes, "Lemonade" has been played/remixed/freestyled over too many times, but this version has stayed fresh for me.

When I Dip (Dillon Francis AIRHORN Remix) - Bingo Players

I've been bumpin' this for days. An amazing dubstep remix of the Bingo Player's "When I Dip", Francis pulled the sample right before the drop from Freak Nasty's "Da Dip", a favorite of mine. Try listening to this and not nodding your head along with the beat. I dare you.

Thanks to the good people over at Gotta Dance Dirty.

Wildstyle EP - Bassnectar

Bassnectar's new Wildstyle EP sees him returning to a more experimental bass sound. The track "Falling" is some good 'ol dubstep though, and "The 808 Track" is an homage to the drum machine of choice for many producers (and the beat on this one is fire).


Falling (Feat. Paper Machete) - Bassnectar


The 808 Track (Feat. Mighty High Coup) - Bassnectar


If you arent' already planning on going to his show at the McDonald Theater in Eugene on Febuary 3rd, you should SERIOUSLY reconsider. Maybe this will change your mind...

Doctor P

Face-crushing soul melter time. If you haven't heard of Doctor P, prepare to experience some of the philthiest filth out there right now. His most well known track, "Sweet Shop", is a stand-by in the dubstep scene; a guaranteed big room destroyer. It's insanely catchy intro lulls you into thinking your safe, and then all of a sudden you're having your ears destroyed by some durrrrty sub-bass. His remix of "Sick Tonight" follows in the same vein, but the third song, "Neon", is much more relaxing and great for when you want to mellow out after having your ear drums blown by the first two tracks.

Mt Eden Dubstep

Presenting Mt Eden Dubstep... AKA the artist which got me into dubstep. This is surprising mainly because Mt Eden is not well known, in fact, he's not even signed to a label. His only website is his Facebook group, and he has put out only one official mixtape as of this posting. His sound is definitely on the chiller side of the dubstep spectrum, but without a doubt it will still blow your speakers if you turn it up. The first time someone blasted "Sierra Leone" for me, I had never even heard of dubstep, but the haunting vocals and wobbly bass mixed with tight snare hits instantly caught my ear. At first I thought it was some wild form of hip-hop I'd never heard before, but as I began looking for more music like it I realized it was a genre of its own, and an amazing one at that.

*Play at full volume. Preferably on a fat sound system with your windows open, because after all, music is best when shared with your entire neighborhood*

Eyes On Fire (Zeds Dead Remix) - Blue Foundation

So this post isn't just for Eyes on Fire Remix, the title should actually be something like "Earth-Shattering Speaker-Blowing Brain-Melting Dubstep", but I figured I'd keep it short. These are some of the dopest dubstep tunes I've heard of late, and they are FILTHY. Absolutely, disgustingly filthy. The dirtiest of the dirty, the grimiest of the grimy. These songs will make you want to break shit, dance until you can't dance anymore, and then break some more shit as you continue to dance, even though you're too tired to be dancing longer.

Eyes on Fire (Zeds Dead Remix): My roommate showed me this, and this is most certainly a mind-melter. Apparently the original is from the Twilight soundtrack (it almost makes me gag writing that word on my blog), but that doesn't mean you should discount it immediately. I've been slapping this hard, the bass actually shakes my room when I turn my sub on, but it's the female vocals that really make this song as amazing as it is.

Hold On (Sub Focus Remix): Courtesy of The West Coast Leak. This song, off dubstep producer Rusko's first album is nuts. The 808 snares give this song somewhat of a hip-hop feel but then all of a sudden, here comes the break and it's all dubstep all day. This is a sick first single, and I can't wait for the full album to drop May 4th.

Cozza Frenzy: This song's a little older, but not by too much. The title track from Bassnectar's newest album, this was possibly the most insane song I've ever seen performed live. The song alone could probably put you into convulsions, not to mention the lights show that went with it. I'll be putting up the Mega-Bass Remix sometime soon. You better have some quality speakers for that one.

Pro Nails (Rusko Remix): The first dubstep song I ever heard. A lot of people know Kid Sister through her affiliation with Yeezy and her poppy electro-hop album Ultraviolet, but this remix blows away anything on that album. The wobble in this song is out of control, and Kid Sister's sped up vocals compliment the slashing bass perfectly.

Flufftronix

"Flufftronix (aka Michael Las day) is a Chicago-​born, Philadelphia-​based DJ, pro­ducer and party starter. A master of contrasts, Fluff is adept at dispensing face-​crushing soul melters (quoth Lil Jon on Fluff’s track Filthy Angels, “That shit just make you wanna punch the shit outta some mother fucker!”), sensual luvstep grooves and everything in between."

Normally, I give you a little bit of an intro put together from the various places I hear about music (wikipedia, friends, other blogs etc.), but after reading Flufftronix's About Me page on his website, I didn't think I could really say it any better. I mean really. To have your music described as "face-crushing soul melters" pretty much says it all. This guy goes HARD. Don't sleep.

Check out his other work here, on his Myspace. Give "Filthy Angels" a listen (or two), and then peep the video on his page of Diplo and Lil' Jon mashing heads to the same song.

(This last one is an hour long mix released on Valentine's Day. Shit is bananas, with remixes of some of my favorite songs, including M83's "We Own The Sky, as well as a few artists you wouldn't expect to see in a dustep mix (think The Beatles and Britney Spears).

Jakwob

A new producer on the dubstep/electronic music scene, Jakwob has already made a name for himself for producing remixes for The Faders, Penguin Prison, Ellie Goulding, and many others. Although he says he doesn't want pigeonholed into one specific genre, most of his work so far tends to lean towards a dubstep sound. I'm actually not such a fan of his non-dubstep stuff, so hopefully he'll realize his niche and stick with it. Here's some of his best work:

BASSNECTAR

IF YOU LISTEN TO NOTHING ELSE ON THIS BLOG THAT I'VE POSTED SO FAR, PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS. I'm making a playlist of tracks I want to throw up here right now, and I was waiting until I finished that before I made any new posts. However, I can no longer ignore the earth-shattering bass attack that is the new Bassnectar EP. This collection of throbbing, subwoofer-busting tracks is some of the best dubstep I've heard in a long time, and it's guaranteed to blow your mind (and your subs).

Here's two of my favorites, but the whole thing is sick. Get it HERE.

Enter The Dubstep

Last November Wu-Tang Clan took a step away from hip-hop and released Enter the Dubstep, a mind-bending album full of dubstep remixes of many of their songs. The album features every member of Wu-Tang, as well as a ridiculous amount of guest features, from Busta Rhymes to MF Doom. These next two songs are two of my favorite cuts off the album, but you can get the whole thing here.
