Whoa-B - Putting The Step Back In Dubstep

This is a whole new game I'm throwing out to you guys.  So far we've only featured single tracks by defined artists in the electronic music scene.

Enter Whoa-B, dubstep DJ extraordinaire.  If his amazing song choices and smooth rhythms don't pull you in, his unparalleled mixing sure as shit will.  He keeps the old school alive and makes the new school thrive, bringing to you sounds from the early 2000s and on.  I feel that this style of dub is not given nearly enough credit for what dubstep as a whole has become, as the more recent sound is one hell of a far cry from it's ancestry.

Chill out to the deep dub bass brought to you by our maestro.

Tinie Tempah feat. Ellie Goulding - Wonderman (Bare Noize Remix)


Bare Noize, doing it again!  Raucous rocky synths and punchy bass combine with the poppy vocals of Ms. Goulding to form WONDERMAN, and he's here to fuck shit up in style.  Hit the jump for the music!

Kelis - Brave (Gemini Remix)

When I originally heard this song, I didn't feel compelled to post it because it didn't strike me as amazing; last night, some good acoustics proved me wrong.

Ellie Goulding - Lights (Bassnectar Remix)

So I am not typically a huge fan of Bassnectar and his stuff but this song is an exception. The original "Lights" by Ellie Goulding is a fun very poppy track with a slight electronic feel to it. Sort of along the same lines as bands like Justice.

Joy Orbison - Wet Look

Perhaps some of you are tiring of the recent dubstep craze.  Perhaps you're looking to branch out.  Perhaps you're a newcomer to electronic music and haven't really found a sound you like yet, or even have scorned it all together.  This track could change your mind entirely.

Wet Look is an incredibly unique track matching together the classic dubstep LFO with jazz like synth combined with an interesting drum rhythm.  The way the synth rises, it gives you the feel of breaking through to the surface as if previously submerged underwater.  When you finally breach, the world isn't as you remembered - chaotic and confusing; yet somehow you remain calm trying to make sense of it all.  Don't worry brolos, haven't you been on tripping on peyote for like 5 straight days and couldn't some of this be in your head?

Asa - Catch You (KOAN Sound Remix)


In the same vein as my earlier Mt. Eden post, I have some more chilled out glitchy dub for you.  This one really sent me into a trance.  The quiet clamor of old farm bells, vocals blurred just beyond distinction, the sound of water lapping at the side of your boat...it provides a sort of solace only an artist like Nature herself can top.  I've nothing else to say, just hit the jump and float away.

Ruby Frost and Mt. Eden - Oh That I Had


This is a beautiful, inspired tune from their recent EP.  They made a fan of me with Sierra Leone, a track that still brings up little hiccoughs of emotion.  'Oh That I Had' is another foray into the sweet world peace vibe that they did so well.

Casxio - Seventeen (Skrillex Remix) // Benny Benassi - Cinema (Skrillex Remix)


I have a crush on Skrillex. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I don't usually get crushes on famous people, especially ones that are actually my age. He is so attractively awkward though and I get a girlboner watching it. He's a great example of success by doing what you love. His music is so GOOD.

SKisM - Elixir


For whatever reason, I've been avoiding SKisM until today.  Probably a few tracks that pushed too close to megatronfuckstep to me.  I don't really hate robostep, but I don't think many people do it well...so I was pleasantly surprised to find this song.  Feels like I'm on Caprica, d00ds.

Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Zedd Remix)


Anyone who follows the electronic music scene knows that Skrillex is a name that has become very popular very fast.  With the skyrocketing popularity of dubstep, great dub producers such as himself are in a unique place right now for experimentation.  Zedd took his smash hit a step further...

Deadmau5 - Faxing Berlin (Grifta Remix) // Morgan Page - The Longest Road feat. Lissie (Grifta Remix)













I can't believe I'd never heard of Grifta before today because this is some truly awesome dub.  Hit the jump to give it a listen and introduce yourself to his fresh sound.  I've given you a couple vids to choose from, one old release and the new track that made me stop and stare.

Magnetic Man - K Dance

This is the result of some of the biggest original names of Dubstep coming together.  Benga, Skream, and Artwork have created one of the most tweaked out and unique pieces of work I've heard yet in the genre, and I'm loving every minute of it.  No doubt this will send you over the edge if you're nearing the infamous K-hole.  So do a bump and try to figure out how to get out of your seat and dance to this in the pit of your high.  Big tune here.

Ital Tek - Deep Pools

I am sorry, but I am on an extreme chill kick today [and tomorrow, got some B-Complex comin' up too!] and I can't help but post some Ital Tek.  Chillstep to the max, delight to the senses.  It's like falling through mirror-coated lakes in the sky.

Doctor P - Big Boss


Every time I play this song I am pretty sure my neighbours hate me [via subwoofer], but I am too busy getting hopped up on narcotics and loud music to care.  Kids today, no respect!

Sub Focus - Smooth // Sub Focus - Coming Closer


The other day it was suggested I post some Sub Focus, so I got to thinking about what about him really did it for me.  After a bit of rooting around I came to the conclusion that I couldn't pick just one tune, so let's go back in time a bit for a Sub Focus double feature.  Chill time after the jump, gogogo!

Chase & Status - Blind Faith (Trolley Snatcha Remix)


I've been keeping an eye on Trolley Snatcha for a bit, but nothing I heard really stood out so much until today.  This track combines filthy wobbies with some upbeat vocals, another Chase & Status victory that only gets better with the remix.

Dubba Jonny - Dubstep Tutorial VIP

HOLY SHIT, AFTERSHOCKS.  GRAB THE K, WE HAVE TO RIDE THIS ONE OUT.


Hugely massive track here, this rivals some of the most epic stuffs I've heard.  Plus, it's educational; take note US public schools.


Dubba Jonny - A Brief Tutorial On Dubstep Production

The title bares it all for this cleverly disguised monstrosity of a song.  The only suitable companion to the finely crafted, artisan level handmade wobbles of this exquisite example of the most massive of dubstep tracks comes in the form of leaning on your F11.  Haiti would be proud (or terrified, to be determined).

0:43 to be sure.

OH F, SHIT WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
