Track of the Day - Dustup by Noisia & The Upbeats.
This collaboration is excellent, with commanding drums, insistent bass lines, and nice voice sampling.
Tracks
Track of the Day - Voodoo People (Pendulum remix) by The Prodigy.
It’s probably got to the stage where it’s more popular than the original mix, this remix exhibits Pendulum at its prime.
Track of the Day - One Step by The Upbeats.
One of the highlights of their new album, in my opinion, this track runs like an engine and never stops. Until it stops.
Track of the Day - Endorphins (Sub Focus v. Fred V & Grafix Remix) by Sub Focus (featuring Alex Clare).
It’s a Sub Focus track like Sub Focus used to make (i.e. it’s in D&B tempo and not in dubstep tempo). But seriously, this is a great remix, and I think it’s better than the original version (although as ever, you mileage may vary)
Track of the Day - Gravity by Shapeshifter
Another fine slice of liquid from the New Zealand specialists.
Track of the Day - Prelude (Black) by Dirtyphonics
Oh, I completely missed that their album was out. The second track is a fine example of the bass nonsense the Dirtyphonics are well known for, and makes the first track seem like a practical joke.
Track of the Day - Lazerbeam (feat. Metrik & Kyza)
I like ShockOne’s stuff, and this is no exception (although the video edit could use more rapping after the first chorus, the stuff before is pretty good)
Track of the Day - Phantom Pt 2 (Soulwax Remix) by Justice
Dare I say it? I think it’s better than the original. Bonus points for the freeze at the four minute mark, followed by a hype build.
Track of the Day - Come Alive by Netsky.
There’s something about that vocal that I love, combined with a pretty good riff as the bass arrives.
Track of the Day - This Is What It Feels Like (W&W Remix) by Armin van Buuren feat. Trevor Guthrie.
Something different: some trance. I picked this remix because of the house-y bridge, mainly.
Track of the Day - Dark Rain by Current Value. Caution: this isn’t so much as a “drop”, more a “sheer cliff face”. You’ll know when you hear it. Certainly, for those who dislike hard drum & bass, stay far away.
Track of the Day - Hydrogen by M.O.O.N
I’m back on the Tumblr boat, with my favourite track out of the Hotline Miami soundtrack.Hence, no further introduction is required (go play Hotline Miami if you haven’t already, or get excited for the PS3/Vita port if you don’t know how to operate Steam).
Track of the Day - World’s End by Day One. Certified 100% wub-free, this fresh release from the Monstercat camp understands that dubstep used to mean something other than wub-wub-wuuuuuuuuuub. Good vocals complement the melody, with a hint of sub-bass in there too.
Rock Band.
(Now that’s impressive.)
Track of the Day - Luma by The M Machine.
Pretty much the kitchen sink approach here: piano intro, four-to-the-floor leading into an electrohouse bridge leading out and back in with some strings and a return of the electrohouse riff. Great stuff.
