Kastle - Technique (FREE DL)

This tune is a few months old but I just discovered it today. A really funky bassline is the power behind this tune. Paired with some samples from Kelis' "Milkshake", but you would never know, makes this track really catchy. At 2:30 we are given a 'rolling' halftime drop which gives this track everything it needs. I also included a recent mix by Kastle.

SKisM - Rave Review (Dodge & Fuski Rmx) (FREE DOWNLOAD)

From the guys who brought you 'Pornstep', Dodge & Fuski have been in the studio remixing an already epic Skism track and they managed to transform it into a banger you'll be playing on repeat. If you recognize the voice in the song, it's an actor named Henry Rollins. He plays one of the neo-nazis in Sons of Anarchy and also happens to do some stand-up. So what did come first? The shitty rave music, or the drugs?

Miike Snow - Devil's Work (Dirty South Remix)

Here is a perfect collaboration between the enchanting Miike Snow and the house music masters, Dirty South. This remix of "Devil's Work" is packed full of perfect piano riffs and those big room synths that are just right for summer.

Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa - Payphone (Sex Ray Vision Remix)

After some huge support on his last album "Relax", Ravi aka Sex Ray Vision is back with another killer song. This time he has taken Maroon 5's new track with Wiz and put a chilled out house sound on it. Something good for the ladies.

The M Machine - Metropolis Pt. 1

"Wow! This is The M Machine’s second great release in row off of OWSLA. I really enjoy the strength of the Indie on this release. Most of the tracks are Indie Dance and Electro-House/Indie, with of course the one Drum & Bass gem they seemed to have snuck on. ‘Immigrants’ is quite the track to kick off ‘Metropolis,’ it even has that vibe as if you are going through a city. I would love to see some visuals done up for this track because it is just an awesome banger. Another hot and heavy track is ‘Black,’ you could rip up a dance floor with this track.

‘Deep Search’ is a pretty cool Indie Dance track, I like how just seconds into the track it busts into the beat. ‘Faces’ and ‘A King Alone’ swing much closer to the Indie side, but are incredible tracks to chill out to. The last track on ‘Metropolis’ I believe to be a follow up on their previously released, ‘Promise Me A Rose Garden.’ Instead of dubstep though, ‘Shadow in the Rose Garden’ is an incredible Drum & Bass jam. I just wish it was longer than 3 minutes. ‘Metropolis’ as a whole is a great listen, work of art from The M Machine." Fresh New Tracks

Sub Focus - Out The Blue (Xilent Remix)

This head banging mixture of face melting basslines and beautiful synth work from Sub Focus & Xilent is the latest addition to the UKF video list. Don't forget the vocal perfection from Alice Gold. With a solid intro, cut up drop and dynamic chorus, this is the kind of track you would expect to hear from Kill The Noise. You could almost say that there is a definite influence in the track from Kill The Noise and Knife Party, not to mention Skrillex. But then again, whose music isn’t influenced by the Sonny.

Seven Lions - Polarize EP

"Seven Lions is the newest Viper Recordings artist set to be unleashed upon the world. With his debut 'Polarize EP' forthcoming on Viper, the California-based producer is set to become a household name over the next couple of months.

A man of very few words, Seven Lions, née Jeff Montalvo, chooses to let his basslines do the talking for themselves. A brand-new producer coming in blazing hot thanks to an official endorsement from super-group Above & Beyond (currently number 5 on the world’s Top 100 DJs), Seven Lions embarked on his first-ever tour supporting his fellow young dub-superstars Gemini, Koan Sound, and Bassex.

“I won the official remix competition, which is how I got involved with Above & Beyond. I don’t know if they were expecting the track to do as well as it did. But it definitely got their attention, and now they’re wanting to work with me more."

What can fans expect from the upcoming EP? “Lots of dubstep, some melodic dubstep, breakbeats — Shaz Sparks is doing some vocals over it. An innovative, fresh-thinking producer who isn’t afraid to bridge the gap between trance and dubstep, Seven Lions is the future sound about to take the world by storm." Viper Recordings

Skullee - Stand Up (FREE DOWNLOAD)

Ever since the release of Skullee's "Tribute To Sonny" and Russ 2012 I have been hooked on this kid. Hailing from Norway, this kid has some crazy European style combined with that harsh American sound that has become so popular. This song contains some catchy trumpets, heavy bass and most of all some crazy wobbles mixed with the video game style synths (Somewhat like Zelda). At about 2:20 he doubles up the percussion to give it a Salsa/Africana vibe. Makes me want to start a random dance party. Enjoy.

Labrat - Break Your Neck

Santa Cruz's own LabRat has been killing it as of late. He isn't one of those producers who pumps out 10 songs a month. It seems like he really takes his time producing and making sure all those Basslines and Synths are up to his standards. Always a pleasure to post his music. Enjoy.

Skullee - Russ 2012 (FREE DOWNLOAD)

Been so stoked on Skullee lately... The kid never disappoints and Russ 2012 is no exception. Keep your eyes peeled for more from Skullee this year. We expect big things.

Kairo Kingdom - Boom Box / One Two

Just discovered Kairo Kingdom from the Beatport's Glitch Hop charts and their most recent double feature EP "Boom Box / One Two" contains two songs which are just insane. Firstly we have "Boom Box" which is some heavy fucking production! The intro to the song resemples a heavy metal track with it's quick double kicks and grinding guitars. The drop just explodes into that Heavy Electro synth work and popping, which Skrillex is so popular for. This song being played at 110bpm makes it a little more toned down then most electro, also perfect for the end of that next Moombah mix. The B Side, also another Glitch Hop track, is called "One Two" and it is number one on the Glitch Hop charts. This song is a little more funky then its counter-part. But the drop still shows that heavy Electro sound. I am very pleased witht his EP. Go and pick this up off Beatport and show Kairo kingdom some love by liking their Facebook. (Links Below)

Mark Knight - Alright

Mark Knight is back with a chilled out production called "Alright" and is it ever more than alright. This song has some super catchy percussion and synths somewhat mimikicking those in "Show Me The Love", released by Robin S. in 2008. The added Saxophone and sublte vocals are the cherry on top. This explain why it has been in Beatport's Top 10 for two weeks running.

Sidney Samson - Get Low (Rock the Houze Recordings)

Here we go! "Get Low" starts off with some intense purring basslines to beautifully break away into some melodic sounding synths and strings. As the build up continues the synths intensify and the percussion begins to rise and rise and rise until. . . .BAM! Sidney Samson throws that filthy shit right in your face, this song definitely reminds me off some old Dutch House. Enjoy.

Figure - The Brink (FREE DOWNLOAD)

Like a chapter in a spy thriller, the escape scene unfolds with ‘The Brink.’ The recipe of energetic arpeggiators combined with shape-shifting synths cooks up the rocking of a ship during the pursuit and hopeful escape of a hero.

Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (Soulwax Remix)

Soulwax have just massacred Arcade Fire's "Sprawl II" . Funky basslines, extravagent chimes and mini pianos accompany Regine Chassagne's vocals perfectly. LOVE THIS SONG!

David Guetta & Nicky Romero - Metropolis

After several delays “Metropolis”, the instrumental collaboration between Nicky Romero & David Guetta, has finally been released. This song has everything you want with hard hitting bass and synths within a huge drop as well as smooth progressive melodies to build the track that continue underneath the break. You can hear the influence of both artists in on this track, particularly Nicky Romero’s skilled production skills. This track will be massive for the summer so do not hesitate to get on this.

Madonna - Girls Gone Wild (Dada Life Remix)

``Wow, out of all the people to remix Madonna‘s new single “Girl Gone Wild”, the crazy Swedish duo, Dada Life, were the last ones I’d expect. Thankfully I was mistaken, as this is probably the best thing to have happened to the “Queen of Pop” since her appearance at Ultra. Dada Life takes on a different, much more interesting approach, featuring a smooth bass purr throughout the song, and, as always, an explosive signature drop!``

Bassnecta feat. Lupe Fiasco - Vava Voom

Lupe Fiasco is continuing with his Dubstep collaborations. Most recently he worked with the Legend, Bassnectar, on his new album and they put this abnormal little jam together.

Porter Robinson - Language

Just had my first listen to Porter Robinson highly anticipated track "Language". Starting off the track is some glorious piano breaking off into equivalent synth work. Then comes the picturesque party drop packed full of sounds similar to a few Knife Party tracks I've listened too. At 3:00 some unanticipated vocals contrast the Bass Heavy bridge perfectly. Still trying to find out who did the vocals, I'll get back to you guys on that. For now, I'm suggesting you head over to BEATPORT and pick this tune up!

Mysterious EDM producer, Skullee, just released his tribute track for Sonny Moore aka Skrillex! In the description he describes as "It's meant to sound like Skrillex. . . and to give you the same vibe". I think Skullee pulled that off perfectly, with the grinding high pitched synth all the way down to the catchy basslines and string sections. Enjoy this FREE DOWNLOAD!

Sex Ray Vision - Relax EP (Free Download)

Sex Ray Vision (SRV) just released a nine track EP for free download a few days ago. Good variation of tunes from the opening track "Control", which a fast dropping end-of-the-night style banger' or to the sencond to last track which has repetive flanging positioned throughout the track make it sound somewhat Dutch. This is one you definitely should DL.

Stylust Beats - I Grew Up On Hip-Hop

Stylust Beats is back with some wicked Hip-Hop production. Can anyone say TRAP MUSIC! Someone please add some Freestyle to this shit. . .EMOTIONZ?

Hard Rock Sofa & Swanky Tunes - Apogee

Russian groups Swanky Tunes and Hard Rock Sofa have combined again to make the track “Apogee” and yet again they make another huge song. This was their WMC track and it has been supported by all the big names. With a driving bass line, an uplifting, moving synth melody in the break and a well crafted ensemble of pitched synths and kicks and claps in the build this is one you need to get. This may be the biggest production together to date from these guys and shows the continuing rise of Russian house music.
