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...

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

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

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)

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.

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)

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

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.

BONUS HIP-HOP/MASH-UP/INSTRUMENTAL/WEIRD/AWESOME JAM
The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist

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

Wub One Out Dubstep Mix

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.

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.
