Recovery Sunday

Luckily we don't have class tomorrow at Miami so I had the chance to go to Chicago for the North Coast festival. I saw Big Gigantic, Rusko, sts9, common, and others. Basically Lollapalooza on a smaller scale...anyway since it's Sunday I won't be posting anything aggressive.

Sky high - Big Gigantic
The band's combination of a sax and synthesizers is quite impressive.

Ghetto Dreams - Common ft. Nas
Here's a relatively new single from two of the rap game's finest. Common killed it last night at North Coast.

Lights - Potomac Boys Club
This one came out over the summer, but hands down one of my favorites.

Driftin - Big Gigantic
Find this song on iTunes stat

It's the weekend, bitches

Doesn't it feel good to finish off that first week of classes? I've assembled some solid music to help you all continue that rock star week.

Blackhawk - James Egbert

I'd never heard of this guy until a few days ago, this song is a perfect blend of dub and electronic music.

James Egbert EP

Here's a 4 song EP, I can assure you it's worth downloading

Call my name - Spencer and Hill remix

Pop culture - Madeon

And the French kid does it again...this song is comprised of samples from 39 different songs, yes, that is talent.

Flashback - Calvin Harris

Remix of Avicii's ID. Calvin does not disappoint on this one

I need more Hau5

If Bruce Dickinson was still in the music scene, he'd be asking for more hau5. This playlist should start off the syllabus week at the dick aka the week of debauchery and freshman scoping.

Selecta - Afrojack (Lazerdisk Party Sex Remix)

I wish all orgasms sounded like this

Pumped up kicks - Foster the People (Skeet Skeet Remix)

Where my keys - Deadmau5

New Deadmau5, epic as always

Pretty Lights vs Led Zeppelin - Pretty Lights

Simply perfect

I know the truth - Pretty Lights

Here's another track that dropped this summer. Equally dubby and equally awesome

Bass Injection

So ID was amazing as expected, hopefully the people in charge bring it back for another go round next year.  Rusko brought the house down and was a great precursor to Kaskade, who cranked up the production levels for the final show of the evening.  Chuckie, Avicii, Nero, Datsik, all great too as I'm sure the rest of the lineup was.  So in honor of Rusko being my favorite portion of the evening, here is an assault of dub and bass to get you moving your feet when you head back to school.

Cold Blank - Die Famous (FS & Reid Speed Remix)
The original mix of this song is equally good, but FS & Reid Speed's remix brings it into a mentally unstable, dubbed out overdrive

Zomboy - Game Time
Zomboy has a sound eerily similar to Skrillex (they are on the same record label, hmmm....), and this track maintains the melodic interludes and bassed out drops that Skrillex incorporates.  peanut butta jelly time.

Kaskade & Adam K - Raining (The SoniXx Remix)
One of my favorite Kaskade songs, with a perfect dub twist.

Savoy - I'm In Need
HEEAAAVVYYY track from Savoy, starts off real melodic with a sweet sample and then just smacks you in the mouth with bass

Marvin Gaye - What's Goin On (Nit Grit Remix)
Marvin and dubstep.  Doesn't get any better.

Identity Festival Prep Pack

Gearing up for IDFestival to hit Massachusetts, already have heard nothing but incredible things about this festival.  Way to be Skullcandy and Dim Mak (Steve Aoki's record label) for setting this thing up.  Doesn't come close to an Ultra or an EDC but a day packed with artists like Kaskade, Avicii, Rusko, and Chuckie can't dissapoint.  Anyway, regardless of whether or not ID has hit your city yet, here is a mini prep (or recap) pack of songs with some BRAND NEW AVICII to get you Ready2Rage at the festival or relive one of the best days of your life.

Avicii - Morphine (Suncity Festival Anthem)
Brand new Avicii.  Incredible.

Kaskade ft. Haley - Dynasty (Dada Life Remix)
Title track off Kaskade's "Dynasty" from last year remixed to perfection by house legends Dada Life.

Kaskade - Eyes (ft. Mindy Gledhill)
Brand new stuff from Kaskade

Rusko - Woo Boost
A Rusko classic

Rusko - Everyday (Netsky Remix)
Rusko's latest single with a remix twist courtesy of Netsky

Avicii - Fade Into Darkness (Vocal Edit)
Made serious noise back when it was just "Penguin", adding vocals took it to the next level

Avicii & David Guetta - Sunshine
A cut off Guetta's new album, coming out next Tuesday.  Avicii has been dropping this heat all summer

Matsiksoul & Dada - Bang It All (Chuckie Remix)
Hot Chuckie remix

Chuckie & Hardwell - Move It 2 the Drum
A Chuckie favorite of mine

The Streets - In The Middle (Nero Remix)
Oh yeah, Nero will be there too

See you there...

Boozapalooza Recap

I recently went to my fifth consecutive Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, home of the 1985 super bowl champion bears, and Hurricane Ditka. As always, Lolla exceeded expectations. So, I have comprised a playlist from some of the notable acts in order to relive the debauchery. In order to get the site back to its potential I'll be pumping out beats like the octomom pumps out newborns...enjoy.

Falling Star (R3K Remix) - Kid Cudi

Cudi is a below average performer, take my word for it I have seen him 4 times but it doesn't take away from his skill in the studio.

Best Day Ever (Mixtape) - Mac Miller

His Dickinson appearance probably didn't go as planned, however he was real good at lolla, this mixtape should show you...keep floatin and BDE are great songs.

Rage:

Professional Griefers - Deadmau5

This is a brand new Deadmau5 song.

The Island (Pendulum) - Madeon

Madeon is a 17 year old French DJ, check it out.

Lunar - Afrojack & David Guetta

One word, rage.

Prutataaa - Afrojack

Sunshine - Avicii Ft. David Guetta

Brand new Avicii, because who doesn't like new Avicii?

Pressure (Alesso Remix) - Starkillers

Calvin West has a very good remix of this song too.

Let The Bass Kick - Chuckie

Domino - Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77

These guys absolutely killed it...I am posting a video below too.

Dub:

Reasons (Doctor P remix) - 12th Planet

If you're in to heavy dub, this is definitely the song for you.

Country Roads - Pretty Lights

Derek recently performed this John Denver hit at All Good festival, it has become an instant fan favorite.

Some Extraterrestrial Remixes

This song may honestly be the song of the year at this point, so naturally it had to get the house/dubstep treatment from some of the best remix artists out there.  Brace yourself, here are some sick remixes of Katy Perry's "E.T."

House
Katy Perry - E.T. (Tiesto Remix)
brings the heat as only Tiesto can

Katy Perry - E.T. (Benny Benassi Remix)
my personal favorite


Dubstep
Katy Perry - E.T. (Noisia Remix)
womptastic to say the least

"Ghettoblaster" & Other Tasty Dubstep Beats

All dubstep all day today.  2 fresh singles from Play Me artist Metaphase, both are sick and brand new releases on beatport, more melodic than the usual stuff and both have sweet vocal samples.  The Mark Instinct remix of Bare's "Rocks", which uses a great Game sample (if your ears are skilled enough to recognize it).  A heavy, grimey speaker exploder from Sluggo & Helicopter Showdown.  And the icing on the cake, Rusko's newest single "Everyday", unreal song, Rusko is back.  Hope this gives all the dubstep fans their fill for the next few dayz.

Metaphase - Ghettoblaster (Original Mix)

Metaphase - Make Me Feel (Original Mix)

Bare - Rocks (Mark Instinct Remix)

Helicopter Showdown & Sluggo - Hostage

Rusko - Everyday

Penguin

Avicii is a freak, plain and simple.  He turns out banger after banger like it's no big deal.  I have been listening to crappy, unfinished versions of this track for weeks now and finally we have an original mix out there clocking in at just under 6 mins.  "Penguin" is one of the catchiest tunes I have heard in a while, that main piano riff is unreal.  This song is huge, god bless Avicii.

Avicii - Penguin (Original Mix)

Born This Way Remixes

Lady Gaga is a guilty pleasure of mine, and nothing makes me happier than when a handful of house music superstars take it upon themselves to remix her work.  The Skrillex remix of "Bad Romance", the Afrojack remix of "Alejandro", the list goes on.  Her newest single "Born This Way" is attracting a crew of remix-hungry DJs that absolutely kill it.  I present to you a trio of filthy remixes from Dada Life, Michael Woods, and L.A. Riots.  Each one is different, and each one is awesome.  Generally they stick to the electro-house realm but especially with Michael Woods, there is some progressive action in there, enjoy.

Lady Gaga - Born This Way (Dada Life Remix)

Lady Gaga - Born This Way (Michael Woods Remix)

Lady Gaga - Born This Way (LA Riots Remix)

New Deadmau5 Track

Deadmau5 released a new song entitled "HR 8938 Cephai" (I have no idea) on Beatport recently after staying pretty quiet following the release of 4x4=12.  Considering the entire album leaked before it was released on iTunes I'm sure the mau5 is trying to avoid any leakage these days.  This song, I believe, was coupled with another one called "Bleed".  The "Bleed" track sucks quite frankly, if the one I have heard is the true version (which I really hope is the case).  However, I like this one a lot, brings me back to the "I Remember" and "Move for Me" days.  Give it a listen.

DOWNLOAD LINK

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
This is probably gonna get pulled by Deadmau5 or Ultra or somebody, so grab it while you can.

Aliens & Vampires

Figure dropped a new 2 track single the other day on Beatport entitled "Monsters of Drumstep".  Contains 2 incredibly grimey, dirty as fuck, bass-drummed out dubstep tracks.  I am warning you, these tracks are not for the faint of heart.  Basically the grimed out, filth you can come to expect from Figure (other notable tracks: "Everybody" & "Bring the Bass Back" with Calvertron).  If you like it dirrrrty like I do, then turn this shit up and rage out.  Weird as fuck

Figure - Aliens (Original Mix)

Figure - Vampires (Original Mix)

Spring Break Mega Post

Spring break is great, either a chance to relax at home and see some old buddies, or just straight rage in a warm, foreign destination.  Either way you'll need some serious music to get you through the break.  Here are some of the best tunes from the last couple of weeks.  First up, a trippy track from Daladubz that Bassnectar has been tearing apart at his spring shows thus far.  A Thomas Gold progressive house banger remix.  Another Progressive House Beatport dominator courtesy of Axwell and a few other heads. A hot cut off Mac Millers mixtape "Best Day Ever.  A tech house banger ripping up Beatport courtesy of Fedde Le Grand.  A terrifyingly dubtastic take on Wiz Khalifa's "Purp & Yellow" courtesy of Bare.  And to top it all off, a throwback track courtesy of once dominant Cali duo Andre Nickatina and Mac Dre (of Thizzle Dance fame).

Daladubz - Pink Elephants (VIP)

Jay C & Felix Baumgartner - Souk (Thomas Gold Remix)

David Tort - One Look (Axwell vs. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Remix)

Mac Miller - Donald Trump

Fedde Le Grand - Control Room (Original Mix) YOUTUBE LINK

Bare - Purp & Yellow

Andre Nickatina & Mac Dre - Hot Jalapenos

Amen/Raveadelic

For those who don't know, Chrizz Luvly is one of the biggest up and coming Electro/House artists out there.  His song are all certified bangers and every single one is a key ingredient in a ragetastic dance party.  He released this beast of a double single/EP on Beatport recently, and let me tell you, both these songs are incredible.  A must for any Electro-House fan.  So check em out, "Amen" and "Raveadelic", below.  Plow through those midterms and go out with a bang, people.

Chrizz Luvly - Amen (Original Mix)

Chrizz Luvly - Raveadelic (Original Mix)

Ragestep

A small collection of some serious dubstep, tried to keep it mostly new but had to bring back some old favorites.  First off is a tough track from Ry Legit featuring some creatively placed Toy Story samples.  Second, Skrillex continues his outrageous dubstep streak following up "Cinema" with a glitched out face melting collaboration with 12th planet.  FS brings another banger with "Yup", and a few old Bassnectar and Rusko classics to celebrate their spring tours.  Enjoy.

Ry Legit - Buzz Lightyear

Skrillex & 12th Planet - Needed Change

FS - Yup

Rusko - Jahova

Bassnectar - Cozza Frenzy (Mega-Bass Remix)

I Have One Speed, GO

I had to...

Chief

Alejandro (Papuseria Remix) - Rusko

Music by a nut job + Rusko...

The Sound of Goodbye (EDX Indian Summer Remix) - Armin van Buuren

Great trance song here check it out.

Black is the New Yellow - Super8 & Tab

Come Together Dub - Omega

Excellent dub song mixed with The Beatles

White Lies (Mr. Hudson) - Rusko

Turbulence

Holy Santa Claus shit.

Steve Aoki, 

Laidback Luke, 

Lil' Jon.  

Lil' Fucking Jon.  

Banger.  

Laidback Luke & Steve Aoki ft. Lil Jon - Turbulence (Original Mix)

Pure Jams

Nothing to say, these are all sooper dooper jams.  I neglected the dubstep this week so there are a few serious dub gems in here.  I put the team on my back.

Phetsta - Run You Down

Sweet, melodic dubber with some great sounding vocal parts.

Trainwreck - Collision Course

Hardcore dubstep song, real tough and grimey.

Sidney Samson & Steve Aoki - Wake Up Call (Original Mix)

Electro-house gold.  Also older, but this song is one of the hardest out there right now, when it drops there is no way you will still be in your seat.

Calvertron - Rock It, Roll It (DirtyLoud Remix)

#1 dubstep song on Beatport going on about a week, it seems once again that Calvertron is incapable of making a bad track.  Wub.

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

Seriously tough dubstep song.  Tinie Tempah (of "Miami 2 Ibiza" fame) kills it once again on this track. Add the unbeatable voice of Ellie Goulding and the terrifying yet awesome style of Bare Noize, and what you get is arguably the best dubstep track released this year.

Call My Name

This track is HUGE!  Sweet progressive jam remixed by some of the best in the business.  Love Nadia Ali's voice, you may remember her from Avicii's remix of her "Rapture" track.  Seriously, every version of this song is different and well done.  Dave Aude and Spencer & Hill lend their talents to the track for the 2 additional remixes posted.  Dave Aude did that killer remix of Rihanna's "S&M" that I posted the other day, and I think when I name drop Spencer & Hill, nothing more needs to be said.

PS...Original mix is a YouTube link, no free download out there yet.

Sultan & Ned Shepard ft. Nadia Ali - Call My Name (Original Mix)

Sultan & Ned Shepard ft. Nadia Ali - Call My Name (Dave Aude Remix)

Sultan & Ned Shepard ft. Nadia Ali - Call My Name (Spencer & Hill Remix)

Flying High

HOLY BLAKE GRIFFIN!  Guy can throw it down.  After a great weekend, here are a few tracks both new and old alike that drop about as hard as Blake throws it down.  A couple tough Progressive tracks courtesy of Axwell and Thomas Gold, really great dance floor material right there, A cut off Wiz Khalifa's new mixtape "Cabin Fever", an electro-house banger courtesy of PBJ, and a classic Wolfgang Gartner jam to celebrate the announcement of his spring tour.  See you in Philly on April 29th, Wolf.

TV Rock - In the Air (Axwell Remix)

Hard Rock Sofa & St. Brothers - Blow Up (Thomas Gold vs. Axwell Remix)

Wiz Khalifa ft. Big Sean - GangBang

Far Too Loud - Start the Party (Original Mix)

Wolfgang Gartner - Push & Rise (Original Mix)

Dazed & Confused

Too deaded to pull together a huge post, so heres a filthy, grimey, beautiful dubstep banger I recently discovered.  Not very familiar with the original, but Skisms remix here is absolute fire.  Crazy shit, monster track, reminds me of Flux Pavilion with a few Skrillex-esque overdriven, glitch-out moments in there as well, enjoy.  Big post tomorrow when I get my act together...

RackNRuin - Dazed & Confused (Skisms Baroque Out Remix)

Keep It Simple

I've been into minimal house lately. It's perfect study music that won't distract you but keeps you going. Check out the following tracks for a taste of what minimal tech house has to offer:

Robin Hirte - Stylex (Sascha Radojkovic Remix)

Christian Schwarz - Strahlemann (Original)

Kai Hillmann - Don't Do That (Original)

Enjoy.

Beefin Up

Now that school has started for real and the days of rock star week after rock star week no longer seem feasible, we recognize that consistency of posts have not been up to par recently.  I believe I have found a solution.  The old format of linking 1-3 songs with commentary on them may have reached it's end.  From now on, I'm simply going to throw 5-10 tracks at you every few days, some brand new shit, and some classics.  I'm also going to start posting monthly essential mixes with the best house/electro/dubstep tracks of the month on one continuous mix for you to enjoy with maybe even some original mashup goodies in there.  Hope this feeds everyones appetite for ragery!

PeaceTreaty - Cal State Anthem (Cold Blank Remix)
Electro/house sickness again from Cold Blank, his remixes can't be touched.

Rihanna - S&M (Sidney Samson Club Mix)
Found this track among the Top 10 dance tracks on iTunes, total banger.  I can honestly admit I am a Rihanna fan, and a bigger Sidney Samson fan.

J. Rabbit - Ninja Step
1 of 2 tracks from J.Rabbit's new EP.  Grimey ass dubstep, some of you may remember "Sexy Party", which J.Rabbit also had a hand in.

C-Mos - 2 Million Ways (Axwell Remix)
Not that new, but I can't stop listening to it.  That orchestra riff just gets me going every time.  Axwell is unreal.

Wolfgang Gartner - Illmerica (Split Second's Party Rock Remix)
One of the best electro-house tracks of the year coupled with party starting lyrics courtesy of Split Second, a hip hop contingency that remixes dubstep and electro tracks.

THROWBACK ALERT!!!
Benny Benassi ft. Channing - Come Fly Away
Benny's new album is gonna drop soon, and both tracks I have heard from it ("Cinema" and "Electroman") are absolute fire.  This one right here is a classic, one of the best songs Benassi ever made.  Cheers bitches.

Freakin Weekend

After a head-thumping hangover day resulting from fun overload on Thirsty Thursday, the weekend has arrived.  No longer have to worry about looking and feeling like an ass from noon to 7pm the next two days.  It's time to party hard, and no party is complete without some HAU5!

Viro & Rob Analyze - WannuB (Cold Blank's Park-o-Polo Remix)
Cold blank has remixed tunes from big names like Rank 1, Notorious BIG, and Daft Punk.  The electro genius continues here with a superior remix of Viro & Rob Analyze's "WannuB".

Kaskade & Tiesto (ft. Haley) - Only You (Kaskade Remix)
Two gigantic artists come together with a top notch vocalist to create a progressive house banger.  With these 3 names headlining the track, how can you not listen?

Avicii - Sweet Dreams (Sweeder Dreams Mix)
The swede's recut, revamped version of the 80s classic "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics.  I don't think there is anything Avicii can't do.

Fresh Til' Death

A lot of new shit dropped this weekend, so here I present the best of the best of what I have heard for you. Pretty eclectic post here, a little something for everybody to enjoy.  Take it from Dr. Steve Brule, these tunes are good for your health!

Benny Benassi ft. T-Pain - Electroman (Original Mix)
This track is gonna be huge, not only is Benassi in his early 40s and still cranking out some of the best music of the entire house genre, but he is able to switch up his style and incorporate T-Pain to make this jam more mainstream and enjoyable for everyone.

Lupe Fiasco ft. Skylar Grey - Words I Never Said
Lupe's next album is gaining hype and is pretty much guaranteed to be fire.  This jam is no different, add in the beautiful voice of Skylar Grey and you have an unbeatable track.

Flux Pavilion - Bass Cannon
I'm not sure how new this song actually is, but I heard it for the first time last week.  Real grimey, good stuff from Flux.

Lil Wayne - Green & Yellow
Came out just before the Superbowl, should be the Green Bay anthem for the next year.  Great game, great song.

TGIF

Get ready for the weekend.  Exit that final class with your head held high because, now, it's time to party.

Beenie Man ft. Future Fambo - Drinking Rum & Red Bull

Not a crazy house or dubstep song or anything, just ram and reeedddd buuulllll.

Deadmau5 - Sofi Needs A Ladder (At Dawn We Rage Remix)

This, on the other hand, is pretty crazy.

New Bassnectar Track! Ellie Goulding - Lights Remix

This bad boy dropped last night after Bassnectar made a tour announcement.  There have been a shitload of remixes of "Lights", and this version is definitely up there with the best.  Can't wait to see the Nectar come through on his spring tour.  Turn dis shit up.

Ellie Goulding - Lights (Bassnectar Remix)

Engage the Rage

All of the Lights Remix - Pretty Lights

Pretty Lights played this song at their NYE 2010 show in Chicago and it's ridiculous. It's a remix of Kanye West's track All Of The Lights.

Deadmau5 - Falling in love with Brazil (Kaskade Remix)

Great Kaskade remix right here, enjoy.

Shogun (Ft. Hannah Ray) - Nadia

Never heard of this artist before but it's a great house song.

Christoph Andersson - Tuxedo

Here's another song by the 18 year old from New Orleans. Apparently New Orleans can produce more than just blues and jazz.

January Essential Dubstep Mix

Here you go, a mix I put together with all the best dubstep of January.  These tunes are all pretty heavy so be warned, this is dubstep at it's filthiest and grimiest and awesomest.  Shit is phreaky.

January '11 Essential Dubstep Mix - SOUNDCLOUD

hotness right there

Avicii Lovin'

Avicii is one of the biggest up and coming producers in the House music genre.  Sticking mainly to the Progressive side of things, the 21 year old Swede first blew up with the widely recognized banger "Bromance" and the remixes and edits he produced of Bromance under the names Tim Berg and Avicii.  He dominates Beatport on a regular basis and his newest single "Street Dancer" is currently #1 in the Beatport Top 100.  Every time I put one of his songs on people go nuts.  Every song has a lot of energy and well orchestrated synth leads and thumping bass.  Here are a few of my favorite songs of his, although it's hard not to put his entire discography up here, it's really that good.

Avicii - Muja (Original Mix)
Progressive banger with awesome synth leads, the main ingredient in the recipe for a tasty dance party.

Tiesto - Escape Me (Avicii Remix at Night)
Some say Avicii is the next Tiesto, well he may have outdone the man himself on this remix of Tiesto's big single "Escape Me".

Tim Berg - Bromance (Avicii's Vocal Extended Mix)
The one that started it all.

Avicii & Sebastien Drums - My Feelings For You (Original Mix)
Avicii has collaborated with Sebastien Drums on a few occasions, most notably to produce this track and the progressive banger "Even".

100 Posts, We Did It!

This is R2R's 100th post since the start of our glorious blog back in late September.  Well done everyone that has been a part of it, and everyone out there keep reading.  We will do our best to keep you up to date with all the Electronic Dance Music and killer Hip-Hop you can handle.  I'm going heavy on the dubstep today though, specifically because I have 3 songs on repeat in my head these days and you guessed it, they are below.

Benny Benassi ft. Gary Go - Cinema (Skrillex Remix)
I had to pick my face up off the floor after just 2 and a half minutes of listening to this beast of a song.  A couple sick breakdowns and a drop with so much wub you're gonna want to get up out of your chair.

Helicopter Showdown ft. Sluggo - The Wrestler
I don't know who either of these artists are but they absolutely kill it on this song.  Very grimey and very awesome.

Calvertron - Everybody (Figure Remix)
Calvertron and Figure are fairly new on my list of beloved dubstep artists, but they have quickly moved up in my personal power rankings.  Between this and "Bring the Bass Back", there are big things in store for these 2.

100th POST BONUS!
Nic Chagall, Rank 1, & Wippenberg - 100 (Original Mix)

Progressive house at it's finest right there.

More Tunes

This is my first post so I figured I would share a mix of songs. Since I am a rookie the format might not be on par but fuck it.  Here are some fresh tunes for all to enjoy.

1901 - Phoenix (DLID Remix)

Sick dub mix of 1901 originally done by Phoenix, check it out

Because - Chiddy Bang ft. Radiohead

This is a new track from Chiddy Bang, real laid back and mixed with a Radiohead beat.

Metropol - Christoph Anderson

Christoph Andersson is 18, he's from Louisiana and brand new to the music scene. After listening to this song I got hooked.

Start It Off Right!

Departing for a new semester tomorrow, gettin ready to rage not only upon arrival but also in the 6 hour car ride.  I'm gettin geared up with an arsenal of new music at the moment, here are some gems I have stumbled upon in my never-ending search.

Avicii - Street Dancer
New jam from Avicii, absolutely epic.  Unreal progressive track, this guy keeps turning out banger after banger and "Street Dancer" is yet another to add to the young Avicii's resume.

M.I.A. - Internet Connection (Flux Pavilion Remix)
I truly believe that Flux Pavilion can do no wrong, every remix he touches is an instant banger.  Great tune right here, doesn't retain a ton of the original but who cares because it sounds great and Flux has done it again.

Deadmau5 - Get In The Cart, Pig (Marco Belz Remix)
What started out as an experimental Deadmau5 Soundcloud track has gotten the remix treatment from Marco Belz and has successfully been violently catapulted into progressive house banger status.  Thanks to R2R author StudNibs for this jam.

And Ya Don't Stop

Hip hop overload time today on R2R, I just put together an electro-house mix for the back to school season (which you'll find further down this post) so I'm temporarily staying away from the electronic tunes.  However, what I do have for you is a slew of great hip hop and rap tracks (mostly mixtape dominated) that have come out in the past week or two.  Sometimes it's necessary to stop all the wamps and womps and listen to a good lyricist do his thing over a well made beat.  These should do the trick.

Chris Brown ft. Busta Rhymes & Lil Wayne - Look at Me Now
Produced by Afrojack and completely murdered by Busta and Wayne (you can't expect much out of Breezy's rap flow), this shit has been on repeat and ready for action any time I hop in the car these days.  Sick beat and some killer verses from veterans Busta and Weezy.

Freeway ft. Statik Selektah & Mac Miller - P.A.
An anthem for the state of the home of the almighty Dickinson College.  Chilled out, laid back beat with a couple solid rappers.  Great to see Mac Miller get some love from an established artist such as Freeway.  Pretty great tune, all my Philly people are sure to love.

Chris Webby - Almost There
I have quickly become a huge fan of Chris Webby.  Even though he bags on "Boston's boy" Sam Adams, I could care less because the kid is talented, and like Sammy, employs dubstep tracks as beats on several occasions.  This song is a classic rap tune, just well done all around.  Check out the entire mixtape "Best in the Burbs", released in late December.

Rick Ross - Black Man's Dream (ft. Ludacris)
Solid track off Rick Ross's "Ashes to Ashes" mixtape.  Only 10 songs on the mixtape, but most if not all are worth a listen.  This is my personal favorite, and it doesn't hurt to let Luda spit some knowledge on the track.

Nas - Be Right
Nas is one of the greatest to ever live.  Don't argue, just download this song.

ELECTRO/HOUSE EXTENDED MIX
51 Minutes, 20 tracks, 1 great time for any electro-house fan, great for a party, pregame, or personal rage sesh.  Soundcloud is below, you can download from there if you wish.

Back to School Electro House Mix

The Heavy Stuff

Happy Friday.  Get ready for this upcoming weekend with some heavy dubstep bangers currently circulating around the EDM community.  No better way to ring in a new semester than with a couple face melting, bass wobblin' dub tunes.  Put on your robot ears.

The Cataracs - Bass Down Low (Proper Villains Remix)
Sweet remix of a great song.  The Cataracs are great party music but they tend to keep it on the poppier, dance side, Proper Villains delivers a wobbly tough track here that goes really well with the upbeat, dance floor feeling of the original.

Laid Blak - Red (Chasing Shadows Remix)
The original was a kind of reggae/electronic jam which was awesome and creative as is.  When it came time to crank it up however, Chasing Shadows took "Red" and pumped it full of heavy bass and dubby goodness.

Ajapai - Terminate
Not for the faint of heart.  Sometimes shit like this can just be too much, but I feel like this track just barely sticks together for 4 and a half minute to give the listener a head banging, glitched out, grime time wubber.  Courtesy of Rotten Records.

The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist

Video is below, this song has an unreal instrument and one the trippiest, strangest videos I have ever seen.

H.A.M.

This absolute freak of a tune dropped last night at midnight.  It's a huge single from Kanye West & Jay-Z and is the first off an upcoming collaboration album "Watch the Throne".  The beat is monstrous and the lyrics are straight up fire as usual from two of the biggest and best in the game.  After only a few listens this track has vaulted to one of my current favorites.  Get ready to go H.A.M (Hard as a mothafucka)...

Kanye West & Jay-Z - H.A.M.

Stay Warm With Some FIRE

2 sick new tracks for you today, one I can't give you a download for unfortunately but you can listen on the site I found and attempt to use a converter like vidtomp3.com.  Anyway, it's getting cold as hell and the desire to return to ruthless college life is taking over.  Time to beat the cold and get ready for the campus rage scene with these 2 fresh tracks, one dubstep, one electro-house, both bangers.

FS - Shake Dat Ass (Original Mix)
Hot, nasty, grimey, dubby dubstep tune that I found while perusing Beatport the other day.  Never heard of FS, but after this I can't wait to hear the next track.  Will definitely make you wanna shake dat ass.

Andrea Bortelini - Drop That Beat (Original Mix)
After shaking that ass, it is of course necessary to drop that beat.  This Italian chick has won me over and this song is a great dance anthem with a little bit of electro fused into it.  Hot electro/progressive house banger right here for all to enjoy.

Original Gangsta

Thought I'd throw up a quick mix/mash up thing I have been twerking on.  Gimme constructive criticism, or just listen and enjoy.  Just threw two songs that I am a huge fan of together quickly and this is the result.  Worddd...

Put Your Hands Up for Cthulhu (Deadmau5 vs. Fedde Le Grand)

Year of the Wub

I'm telling you right meow that dubstep is going to make big moves in the coming year, a lot of great dubstep tracks have already been re-worked as mainstream rap tracks by artists like Chris Webby & Sam Adams.  Dubstep also has the ability to rework practically any song from any genre into some kind of wubby remix.  Big things are coming for the wub.  Here are some big dub tunes to enjoy in the meantime...

Chris Webby - Raising the Bar
Chris Webby spits some nice lines over Mt. Eden's "Sierra Leone" dubstep song on this track off his Underclassmen mixtape.  Great example of what rap beats could be looking like in the not too distant future.

Future vs. Calvertron - Bring the Bass Back (Calvertron Dubstep Remix)
Fuego.  Remix of a house song that got the job done on it's own, but Calvertron does a great job translating the original in a dubstep banger,  and I do mean banger.

Nero - Innocence (Split Second Remix)
Continuing with the aforementioned theme of dubstep songs making sick rap beats, I present this super sweet remix of Nero's "Innocence", with Split Second's verses combining perfectly with Nero's beat to make a great rap tune.

Feed Me

Amidst all the New Year's nonsense I neglected to post my current favorite EP and track.  "Feed Me" is signed on mau5trap records and "Feed Me's Big Adventure" is their first big release.  A little bit of dubstep and some heavy electro house is exactly what you need to start the new year.  Doesn't hurt that Feed Me's got 4 out of the top 10 singles on Beatport either (all of which are on this EP).  Hope everyone stayed safe and raged hard on New Years Eve.

Feed Me's Big Adventure EP
The full EP, conveniently packaged in a zip file with cover art and such.

Feed Me - Blood Red
My personal favorite track off the EP, hardcore dubstep track, the best.
