Ready2Rage started out in late September with one goal: scour the earth for the most bangin' music and deliver it in a simple manner to devoted ragers across college campuses and beyond. 86 posts, 97 days, 3 authors later and on the cusp of a new year we have hit 10,000 pageviews. Awesome. It's hard to say where exactly R2R is heading but one thing is for sure, if you guys keep this up, expansion is imminent. Thank you all, and keep on raging. Keep spreadin' the word about R2R, and before I hit you all with our MASSIVE end of the year post tomorrow, here are a few tracks that just barely got cut from the R2R Top 10 of 2010...
Doctor P - Big Boss
The biggest track from one of the biggest up and coming stars of dubstep. Seeing this live absolutely blew my mind. In the end it was tough to cut the Doctor from the Top 10 list, but some people just deserved it more.
Boys Noize & Erol Alkan - Avalanche (Original Mix)
I have said it countless times, this song is epic and all of the Boys Noize/Erol Alkan collaborative releases are great, but they just weren't big enough to crack the Top 10. Works for me though.
Pretty Lights - Hot Like Dimes
Huge year for Pretty Lights, 3 great EPs and that unreleased business "Defocused on the Bright Diamonds". Arguably best live show out there as well. It was impossible to include them in the Top 10 because no one song specifically rages hard enough to be excluded from the others. "Hot Like Dimes" is the best I could do.

Gettin Back on the Horse
Check out these jams, ya turkey! |
The Bloody Beetroots - WARP ft. Steve Aoki (Dirtyphonics Dubstep Remix)
I downloaded this one from Big10 a while ago, and dismissed it because I found the intro super annoying. Then this shit comes on in the car today and I give it a chance. Holy Santa Claus Shit. This track is one of the biggest, heaviest jams I have heard in a while. Sorry I'm so late on this one.
Cameron Adams - Definitive Daft Punk
Something like 50 Daft Punk songs condensed into one, very necessary download for all Daft Punk fans.
Mt. Eden Dubstep - Sierra Leone
Normally I like the absolutely insane, nasty, dirty, grimey dubstep, but despite it's differences, I have fallen in love with this track. Unreal vocals and melodically brilliant, I became an instant Mt. Eden fan after hearing this.
DJ Fresh vs. Sigma - Lassitude (Dillon Francis Remix)
DJ Fresh seems to create these songs that exist in mediocrity on their own but transform into absolute bangers whenever someone gets a hold of them (see; "Gold Dust (Flux Pavilion Remix)"). This one is no different, Dillon Francis turns this jam into overdrive and thrusts it into electro sweetness.
Massive Attack - Risingson (Bassnectar Remix)
Found this bad boy while I was dicking around with the Bassnectar app on my baller new iPhone. Can't believe I passed over this one, thing is like 2 months old.
Bloc Party - One More Chance (Alex Metric Remix)
Bloc Party is another group who seems to get 10 times better when remixed. Hot, electro-house fire right here, thank you Alex Metric...

New Winter Dubstep
Looks like the drop in the temp has cooled off a lot of new dubtracks as well giving us some smooth relaxed drum & bass jams that I got to admit i'm lovin. Could this be the direction of dubstep? is this a good or bad thing? you judge
my favorite so far
No idea what their saying, but great song
on second thought, I think the brain poison will continue
TO HOT, these guys are in it to win it. Turn the bass up!!
(couldnt find fileshare download using url on listentoyoutube.com)
in case anyone hasn't fully appreciated this song it is a must in the dubstep library. Bassnectar & Datsik are good buddies that decided to team up on this to create a song that truly delivered into the scene... I'll skank to that
Merry Christmas with some jingle

Twas the Night Before Christmas
Home at last in the US just in time for some Christmas awesomeness. Great to be home. Figure I'd drop a few fresh bangers down the tree for the masses here. A few new releases from dank house artists, and a sneaky little dubstep track, all of which will leave you ready 2 rage. EPIC end of the year post coming up with R2R's Top 10 Ragetastic Songs of the Year. Mixtape and free downloads shall be included as usual. Stay warm tonight and give that fat bastard some milk and cookies. I'm out.
Moguai - We Want Your Soul (Original Mix)
Fresh off Beatport, Moguai is doing work lately. He was signed to Deadmau5's label but it looks like he's getting bigger and branching out more, this song is from Size Records. Absolutely bangtastic.
Moguai - We Want Your Soul (Thomas Gold Remix)
Thomas Gold remix of the aforementioned track, crazy progressive shit right here. Thomas Gold had another Beatport "AGORa" a month of so ago, definitely worth checking out. This shit buuuuumps.
Micha Moor - Break My World
Certified club anthem right here. Makes you wanna move dem feets.
Bare - Banshee (Original Mix)
Chills down my spine. Bare is pretty sick, they are glitchy and dirty as fuck which I personally love. If you like that grimey, dirty, nasty shit like I do, download this track.

Nothin' But the Dankness...
Haven't had a whole lot to do the past few days except drink hard and jam hard in London. My quest for new tunes has produced a couple gems, you can check 'em out below. Hopefully I get off this godforsaken island tomorrow, flight is scheduled at 4pm but who the hell knows. Expect an epic end of the year post and playlist with the top 10 most raging songs of the year in the coming days as well.
Talay Riley - Sergeant Smash (Roksonix Remix)
Dubby shiiiiittt, solid dubstep track, great name too. I aspire to one day be known as "Sergeant Smash".
Dmitry KO, smashBOX, & Starkillers - Odessa (Big Room Remix)
Epic progressive house track right here. Absolutely killer leads throughout the entire song with some serious build ups and mind blowing drops. A must for the prog fans.
Moguai - Get Fresh (Original Mix)
Moguai is on the mau5trap label so you know he's legit. Tight electro-house track with a massive drop at 4:33.
Everything But the Girl - Missing (Fedde Le Grand Remix)
Fedde has been busy lately, with this single landing a spot in the Beatport top 10 almost instantly and his remix of his own track "Back and Forth" being absolute fire. Another really awesome progressive track.

House Music Saved My Life
Stranded in London until Wednesday (I have been absolutely pumping dubstep and electro-house into my brain for 72 hours now), but how bad is that really? Myself and 2 bros are posted in a hotel in Leicester Square ready to take the city by storm for the next 2 days. In the meantine, my boy "Class Act" doing his thing out in NY sent me this little nugget. "Avalanche" is literally top 3 favorite jams all time for me, I listen to it probably at least once a day to be honest. This remix just melted my face off. Enjoy.
Boys Noize & Erol Alkan - Avalanche (Religion Remix)
Dope remix, haaaard electro.
Boys Noize & Erol Alkan - Avalanche (Original Mix)
The original. Flawless, one of the best songs ever.

Airport Chillin'
Right now, I am stuck in the godforsaken Heathrow airport after my flight back to the glorious USA was cancelled due to less than 6 inches of snow. It's 3:20 AM and I am waiting for the lines to open so I can try to get another ticket home, god my life gets more miserable every day. Anyway, the only thing to do in a time like this is sack up, pay the 15 dollars to get wi-fi, and bring you all some fresh new bangers. Enjoy.
Skrillex - Sexual Seduction Remix (ft. Snoop Dogg & T-Pain)
The absolute best of both worlds right here. Bangin track with Snoop and T-Pain in the background. If you like to rage and you don't rock out to this, there is something seriously wrong with you.
Vaski - Spaceman
WUBADUBDUB sonnnnnnn! If you are familiar with Vaski, I don't need to say any more. If you're not, download this track and get a taste, you'll be hungry for more.
Deadmau5 ft. Neon Hitch - I Can't Behave Myself
Since it's a new Deadmau5 track, I have an obligation to share it with you all. But, to be honest, I am not a huge fan of this track. More mainstream Deadmau5 than I have ever heard, definitely female friendly though. The ladies should love this one.
Pryda - Illusions
Under the alias "Pryda", Eric Prydz just released two new tracks, this bad boy and "Glimma". I like this one personally, really chilled out progressive house and then the end is just pure dankness.

I'm Out
It's been real England. Touchin down at 7:05 in Dirty Jerz on Saturday, brace yourselves. Here's some sweet music I will pump into my brain during the 8 hour flight.
Lil Wayne - 6' 7'
Wayne is back, word.
5 & A Dime - Hide Ya Kids, Hide Ya Dubstep
Solid mashup, the Bassnectar track that the whole thing builds from is a classic. This sounds like a Girl Talk song, if Girl Talk was still any good.
Lazy Rich - Discofukkr (Lucky Date Remix)
Lucky Date is a freak, he is gonna blow up big next year.
Yolana Be Cool & DCUP - We No Speak Americano (SAVOY Remix)
I used to hate this fucking song, SAVOY comes in and makes it into a legitimate, tolerable banger. Has definitely grown on me.

As promised, here is a 16 track mixtape of all the essential Deadmau5 tunes. This will be our first in a series of "Best of" mixtapes for artists we see fit. The songs on here come from all of the studio albums and a few other EPs and remixes here and there. If you like Deadmau5 and the genre of house music as a whole, I encourage you to download the mixtape. I also have a sweet new Skrillex jam if you haven't heard it already, it's called "Cat Rats", pretty good stuff too. Word.

Indie Dance/Nu Disco
I was exploring Beatport the other day and saw on the Top 100 that Martin Solveig's "Hello" as well as A-trak's "Indestructable" remix (2 seriously awesome favorites of mine) were classified under the "Indie Dance/Nu Disco" genre. I checked out the charts for the genre and there are a few other sweet songs on there. I still don't fully understand what this genre means, but it pumps out some pretty awesome, danceable songs. Here are 2 of the best.
Mariam, Amadou - Sabali (Vitalic Remix)
If you own Nas & Damian Marley's "Distant Relatives" album, you'll recognize the sample. Solid, upbeat jam with some crazy jungle-y effects in the background. This one is super sweet.
Valerna - I Wish I Had Dog Feet
This one has a real serious electro feel to it. Has some really trippy breakdowns.

Space Junk
Snippet of a cut off Wolfgang Gartner's next single, following up "Illmerica" & "Animal Rights". This piece is called Space Junk. Honestly, I think it's about time Wolfgang came out with an album already. I read somewhere that he spent like 300 hours making "Illmerica". Bro, that's absurd. Give us an album.

Nero Essential Mix
I know I'm pretty late on this one but I have been jamming out hard to it for the past week or so. It's pretty hard to have the patience to sit down and listen to a 2 hour set, but with Nero's (and Wolfgang Gartner's) essential mix it's thoroughly enjoyable, especially at a small pregame or something. Covers a bunch of genres: dubstep, house, drum and bass. Here it is, Nero's BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix...

Home Stretch
6 DAYS |
Circus Records, you have done it again. Great dubstep track with potential to be an epic rap beat. Someone rap over this shit, please!
I haven't posted a legit, hood-ass, speaker thumpin' rap track in a while. So here's one, a mixtape cut that comes right after the release of T.I.'s most recent studio album "No Mercy". Great heavy southern beat with the super sweet rhymes of T.I. and company.
This song was the song of the summer, so why not upgrade it to electro-house banger status? DJ Kue has remixed many mainstream artists (Kanye, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Lil Jon) radio singles into genuine bangers on every front. Check out his Remix of Ke$ha's "Take it Off", which I posted as part of the first ever R2R post.
So, this track I picked up as a free download off Rusko's web site when I bought a t-shirt and thought I would share it with you all. Not a bad deal, pretty standard dubstep remix of "California Love", worth a download.
Bangin' song right here. Crystal Method is a serious throwback, these guys were around in the 90s. Good looks on the part of ATLAS, whose remix of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Maps" is also a keeper.

Ragin' Mash-Up
I'm not a huge mash-up guy, I like Super Mash Bros. and a few other acts when it comes to the genre. But here I have a genuine banger mash-up featuring Bassnectar and the California Swag District of "Dougie" fame. Some bro named Mister Gray mashed up "Basshead" and "Teach Me How To Dougie". Pretty dope, check it out.

I Can Give Ya House!!!
Time to get back to the roots, what got me started in my love for electronic music was electro-house (more specifically "Ghosts N Stuff", after that it's all history). What I got for ya today is a couple genuine electro-house bangers just like mom used to make, as well as a chill rap track and a peek into the world of English "grime". If you're still fiending for some dubstep, you can check out the "Dubcember Ragin' Playlist" by scrolling down or clicking here. Because, like the D-Devil says, I can give ya sex, I can give ya drugs, and I most certainly can give ya....HOUSE!!!!

Freefire - Dataloss (Darth & Vader Remix)
I'm sorry the link sucks, but this song is awesome. Caught my eye on Beatport today so I went and found a leak download. Reminds me of early Wolfgang Gartner with wacky pitch bends and crazy samples being tossed at you a million miles per hour. Fuego.
Egonoise - Dirty Downtown Anthem
Heavy ass electro-house banger with some hilarious (and "dirty") samples. Caught this track on GottaDanceDirty the other day, definitely worth downloading, this shit bumps.
New Tera - Rubadubstep and Bass
This one is a snippet courtesy of a friend's friend at UEA who is working on an upcoming dubstep/grime/drum and bass EP. If there is one thing I have learned from being here, it's that the English like their electronic music duuuuurty, and this is about as dirty as it comes. Have a look around New Tera's youtube page as well, he has some other tight beats.
Grynch ft. Sol - All I Wanna Do
Really chilled out hip hop tune right here. Every once in a while it's important to take a step back from the womps and the wubs and electro madness and relax to a good chill rap song or acoustic jam. Having an eclectic music collection will make you a better person, so be a better person and download this tune.

New Pretty Lights album
""
Our friends over at PB&J threw a link up to their site this morning saying they had an exclusive new Pretty Lights album completely out of nowhere! Of course, I downloaded the album and it's pretty legit. It seems like the album itself, however, is just a compilation of unreleased material from shows and Derek Vincent Smith's fucking about in the beat laboratory (some tracks are live, some aren't, one song is 1:22 and another one is 15 minutes long). Of course, the fact that it isn't new material doesn't take away from the fact that it is some great unreleased stuff that Pretty Lights never officially put on an EP or full length album. The album, "Defocused on the Bright Diamonds", is solid all around, so heres the link for the entire album. I have also included the links for a few of my favorite songs if you don't want to bother downloading all 24 tracks, enjoy.
1. Retaliation
5. Can't Stop Me Now Remix
9. Regulators
12. Textured Heart
16. Bump N Hustle
19. Sonic Bloom
24. Feels So Good

Dubcember Ragin' Playlist!
Someone needs to take me to the hospital to cure me of this dubstep fever. Dubstep is fucking awesome, but I don't want it to take over R2R, and we'll see how much it really dominates the party scene when I get back to the US of A, because it has a monopoly on it over here in England. Anyway, to keep all you dubsteppers at bay here's what I got it. A monster playlist for the ragin' month of "Dubcember" featuring the likes of Rusko, Bassnectar, Nero, Datsik, Flux Pavilion, Vaski, Doctor P, Zeds Dead, and other great artists to get your wub on. This has pretty much every dubstep track I have been jamming out to for the last month or so, as well as most (if not all) the tracks I put up on R2R. Hopefully this will tide you over for a while, expect for R2R to get back to it's roots with the electro-house we have all come to love in the next few posts. Enjoy the playlist.

Linkage Galore...and Fresh New Jams (of course)
What up, what up. A few things to address at R2R today on top of fresh beats. Ready2Rage has hooked up with fellow dank blog-extraordinairre Pnutbutterjams.com (or PB&J) to present their first ever "Dubstep Wompday". Be sure to visit them every Wednesday for the most ragin' dubstep of that week, and be doubly sure to check 'em out today to give R2R and PB&J some love on this rare occasion. Cross that off the list...
Second, I am sure you all remember J-Crew (aka Class Act), a Boston native spinning the dirtiest of electro and wompiest of dubstep out in the Long Island area. Mr. Crew has now hooked up with a fellow master of the mixers to form Recreational Chemistry. Anyways these guys are dank and I have an exclusive setrip from their last show out on Strong Island. Here it is... Recreational Chemistry - Zombie Set 12/4.
Also, check out and Like the R2R facebook page and tell your friends on RealLifebook that we are awesome.
Last, but not least, the Daft Punk Tron Soundtrack is officially out on iTunes or wherever you buy your music. This shit is epic as fuck, but not epic like "I can't move my neck from raging so hard on the dance floor last night" epic, I mean like Jerry Bruckheimer, explosions, Tron 3D epic. Apparently they had a symphony of 100+ musicians working on this thing, as they assumed the position of conductor(s). The result is an amazing soundtrack that will surely add to the experience of the movie, but bottom line is you only get 2 true bangers on there: "TRON Legacy (End Titles)" and the previously released "Derezzed". This is great stuff, but don't expect anyone to drop "Adagio for TRON" at a house party anytime soon.
And here is what you have all been waiting for, ze jams...
Justice - Stress (Nero Remix)
Oh god, Nero and Justice, does it get any better? This one is a fuggin' head bumper fa sho. Forboding horns with some good old fashioned electronic madness creeping in. Thanks again to PB&J for this one.
B.o.B - No Genre (Mixtape)
I'm not going to put a track up for this simply because I can't decide which one to put. Literally, every song on this mixtape is good to some level. No Genre may actually be better than The Adventures of Bobby Ray (B.o.B's grammy nomicated debut album). If you like music, get this mixtape.
Lucky Date - Grind On Me (Original Mix)
A frat bro of mine at the Dick told me about Lucky Date. LD likes his electro dirty as hell with heavy drums in the background, and this song was made for the dancefloor (I mean come on, its called "Grind On Me"). This bad mofo is only 19 too, can't wait to see his career take off.
J. Rabitt, Tremourz - Tongue Tied (Original Mix)
Couldn't let ya go without some dubstep. Part 2 of J. Rabitt & Tremourz "Sexy Party" single. Sexy Party is a great song too, check it out. Adios.
Second, I am sure you all remember J-Crew (aka Class Act), a Boston native spinning the dirtiest of electro and wompiest of dubstep out in the Long Island area. Mr. Crew has now hooked up with a fellow master of the mixers to form Recreational Chemistry. Anyways these guys are dank and I have an exclusive setrip from their last show out on Strong Island. Here it is... Recreational Chemistry - Zombie Set 12/4.
Also, check out and Like the R2R facebook page and tell your friends on RealLifebook that we are awesome.
Last, but not least, the Daft Punk Tron Soundtrack is officially out on iTunes or wherever you buy your music. This shit is epic as fuck, but not epic like "I can't move my neck from raging so hard on the dance floor last night" epic, I mean like Jerry Bruckheimer, explosions, Tron 3D epic. Apparently they had a symphony of 100+ musicians working on this thing, as they assumed the position of conductor(s). The result is an amazing soundtrack that will surely add to the experience of the movie, but bottom line is you only get 2 true bangers on there: "TRON Legacy (End Titles)" and the previously released "Derezzed". This is great stuff, but don't expect anyone to drop "Adagio for TRON" at a house party anytime soon.
And here is what you have all been waiting for, ze jams...
Justice - Stress (Nero Remix)
Oh god, Nero and Justice, does it get any better? This one is a fuggin' head bumper fa sho. Forboding horns with some good old fashioned electronic madness creeping in. Thanks again to PB&J for this one.

Not In Our House
Let's send Mark Sanchez home crying tonight. The game starts at 1:30 and runs til 4:30 in the morn over here in lovely old England so I got the proper sleep (woke up at 7:00pm) and some new jams to get me in the right mindset before the game. I feel bad for everyone on my floor who is trying to get a full nights sleep tonight. Here are a few tasty snacks (not the Rex Ryan kind) to chew on before the game...
Potomac Boys Club - Lights! (Potomac Boys Rework) (Ellie, Waka, Wale)
Everybody and their grandma is talking about this jam, and for good reason. Brenton Duvall, of Gucci Mane Remix fame is a member of these Potomac Boys, a couple of college bros who make dank music. This song is super chill but has enough electronic kick to make it a party track, plus it's got Ellie Goulding, Waka Flocka, and Wale.
Shenai - Blame (Yves LaRock Edit)
Usually in an electro song you can identify the "main riff" of the thing, in this jam there is no way. This jam is constantly changing the rhythm of the lead and they all are funky and ragetastic. If you like electro-house music grab this one.
Mustard Pimp - Scissors
Mustard Pimp is great hard-electro, they know how to do it. This track is hard as hell and will bring the house down through big speakers. I already posted another jam of Mustard Pimp's doing, "Paper" on here (on the first post ever as a matter of fact); both songs are off their "Rocks/Paper/Scissors" EP (you can guess what the third jam is called).

"Zeds Dead Baby"
2 weeks left over here in the UK and my arsenal of dubstep tunes continues to stockpile. Not a ton of new music over the past few days so I felt I would do a little special on one of my favorite current artists. Borrowing their name from a classic line in "Pulp Fiction", Zeds Dead is made of 2 bros that hail from Ontario, Canada. Like another famous Canadian in the electronic music industry (his name rhymes with Bedhau5), these guys took their genre and tweaked it to set themselves apart while at the same time innovating the genre as a whole. Their tunes are a lot more melodic than most dubstep and employ a lot more vocal samples throughout their songs (some even have lyrics!). Anyways, they have blown up over the past year and here I have some of their best jams (in my opinion) for you with a brief reasoning of why each one is so dank, enjoy and if you know any more good Zeds Dead tunes, tell me! Send me an email or comment on this post.
P.S. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE ON THE POLL to the right, I will do a super mega ultra amazing lengthy post with a dickload of tunes for the winner when the voting period is over.
Zeds Dead - White Satin
First Zeds Dead song I heard, had me hooked right away. Killer vocal sample and very melodic, upbeat tune. If there is ever such thing as a "feel-good" dubstep song, this is it.
Zeds Dead - Dark Side Dub
I have been waiting for a song to use some Star Wars samples, and Zeds Dead executed it to perfection in this jam. THE POWAAAA!
Dragonette - Volcano (Zeds Dead Remix)
The great female vocals of Dragonette meet the wub-your-face-off beats of Zeds Dead. Match made in heaven. There's even a little bit of the 4 to the floor trademark house music drum beat in there.
Zeds Dead - Out for Blood (ft. Omar Linx)
That's right, this song actually has verses in it (and damn good ones too!), which makes this song not only wubtastic and bangin' but catchy as shit and something you can actually sing along with. I'm telling you this is the future of hip hop music, every artist out there is going to want to rap over dubstep beats in the near future. You just watch...

Big Thangs
Currently, R2R is working on doing some collaboration with a few other dedicated ragin' music blogs that can be found further down on the right hand side of the blog in the link section labeled "Other Great Music Blogs, etc." (all worth checking out, a handful of jams you see on R2R are snagged from one or more of these guys). I will keep you posted as things develop. Sharing music interests and exposing unheard of bangin' gems to the world is something we strive to do, so it was only a matter of time before the love started spreading around. R2R humbly received a shout from our friends over at PB&J yesterday as well, definitely check them out if you get a chance. But now, for the tunes...
Spencer & Hill - Dub Disco (Lucky Date Remix)
Absolute banger right here, one of the best songs I've heard in weeks. Spencer & Hill are becoming a household name as they seem to crank out epic jam after epic jam. Props to Lucky Date for the remix, this one's got a drop you'll never see coming at the 4:04 mark.
Andy Caldwell ft. Gram'ma Funk - Funk Nasty (Wolfgang Gartner Remix)
Some grammy nominated Wolfgang Gartner work, awesome to see the electro-house getting some love at something as prestigous as the Grammy Awards. I don't think I need to say more, this is one of the best remixes of the year, and come on, it's Wolfgang.
Funkagenda, Sultan, & Ned Shepard - Past Dreaming (Club Mix)
Flip the script and give y'all some traditional progressive house right meow. I prefer the electro stuff because it's heavier and tends to drop harder, it usually has way more layering of tracks too. I feel like sometimes I'll listen to a progressive song for 8 minutes and still ask myself "whens it gonna drop?" Not this jam, great track from these 3 that goes up and down and all around.

A Few Gifts From Hannukah Harry
Holy Santa Claus shit, it's already December. For all my fellow Jew-bears and bearettes, Harry Hannukah comes to town tomorrow, so I thought I'd play Harry (or Santa) and drop a few bangin tunes down your chimneys to start the month off right. These are white-hot remixes with one original mix, so be prepared. Be sure to play these all turned up as loud as your speakers can go, these...are certified bangers and wubmonsters. P.S. Vote for your favorite live show of 2010 in the poll box to the right of this post!
Bassnectar - Boombox (Datsik Remix)
As if this song could get any better. It's been remixed countless times and this is the best. If you haven't heard of him, Datsik is definitely one of the best dubstep artists out there not signed with the penultimate Circus Records (and who isn't named Borgore, Vaski, Statelapse, or Nero). This remix sends the original material completely into overdrive, with hard hitting super distorted wobbly-as-shit bass lines that will leave you feeling the sikness.
WTF?! & Dead Prez - It's Bigger Than Hip Hop (Sidney Samson Remix)
I included the original version of this jam on the November Rewind Playlist. This version may be superior. Essentially it's the same track just with a Sidney Samson trademark house intro and outro. Very good stuff, dubstep/house/electro, it's all in there.
Chuckie, Gregori Klosman - Mutfakta (Original Mix)
Easing it's way into the Beatport Top 10 of the "Electro-House" genre, this track can only climb higher. Great build ups, great drops, awesome synth leads and a flurry of electronic greatness that we strive to give you at Ready2Rage. I have no idea what a "Mutfakta" is, but it certainly is awesome.
