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.

Epic Thank You
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...

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.

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.

Best of: Deadmau5 (Mixtape)
And the winner of the poll for "Live Show of 2010" is Deadmau5! Rightly so, his live shows are quite the experience n stuff, might even be the best one out right this moment. 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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

November Rewind Playlist
Alright, I'm trying to branch out and do some experimenting with some new stuff for the blog. Here we've got something I want to start doing regularly, a monthly rewind playlist. This bad boy has 20 of the best tracks from the last month (most if not all available for free download on the blog). Everything from face melters to house bangers to chill rap to Johnny Cash (that song is bomb). If you hear something you like, just click on the artist's name in the cloud on the right hand side of the blog and it should be easy to find the link for the song from there. Enjoy, and let me know if you would have any additions or subtractions from the playlist.

Banger Alert!
After hearing this song my banger alert is going off like crazy. When Benassi puts out a jam, he makes it count. "House Music" just dropped and it's just an all around great electro house track. Deep bass as usual from Benny, and face melting drops and synth madness. There is even already a sweet remix of this song by Autoerotique, and it's been out for less than a month. Dear lord. This track is a keeper.

Dutched Out
Amsterdam is quite the city, I have to say. Spent a beautiful weekend enjoying the various luxuries that the city has to offer. Pretty burnt out after a day of traveling today (I woke up in Amsterdam at 7 and was in London by 10:30), but heres some sweet new house and dubstep. I heard some money Dutch House while I was over there. For those who aren't aware...Afrojack is probably the biggest name in Dutch House and is really bringing the subgenre to the general "House" populus. The beats rely on heavy bass drums and really high pitched synth riffs that sound almost like sirens. Gets the job done for me, here are the tunes. Some good dubstep in there too for good measure.
Deviance - Fellatio (Alvaro Remix)
Like I said, heavy track with really high pitched main electronic riffs in there. Pretty good, funny vocal sample too, always good to see.
Gianni Marino - Move & Break (Original Mix)
I bet there are a lot of people out there who have heard this song without realizing they were hearing it. Has been remixed by a lot of people but the original is legendary. Another classic Dutch jam.
TV Rock - Son of 91 (Afrojack 2010 Remix)
Afrojack is the king of the Dutch House scene, so he had to make an appearance. The original jam lends some great vocals and a great piano riff, but Afrojack sends it into overdrive with some serious drops. One of the first Afrojack songs I ever heard.
Statelapse - Hurt You (ft. KP)
Dubstep jam right here, 2 dudes "Statelapse" from Northern UK. Really, really heavy shit. Vocals on this track are unreal, these guys throw in so much crazy, distorted shit on all their songs, I love it. Check out their other stuff too, "Trash Talk" is another great song of theirs.

Daft Punk+Tron=Holy Santa Claus Shit
For anyone who is unaware, the upcoming movie Tron: Legacy looks unreal, and Daft Punk is doing the entire score for the movie, meaning every song you hear in the movie will be a Daft Punk original, new track. Shit is in 3D too, dear lord. The soundtrack drops on December 7th and will have at least 12+ original Daft Punk tracks, and while they have been producing on other people's shit for a few years now, this will be their first full length album since Alive 2007, thats right, 2007. Here is a sick remixed cut off the soundtrack which aired with a 2 minute teaser trailer the other day, they only gave away a snippet of the song, but here it is in its entirety, "Derezzed" remixed by NTEIBINT.

Sweet Party Mix
Another live set from my boy Class Act (Boston native) doing it big in NY. I posted a live set of his earlier, check it out by clicking his name in the tag cloud in the top right of the blog. Clocking in at about an hour and 20 minutes, this is an epic mix of electro goodness with some dubsteap sneakily inserted in there. Flows really well, definitely can get the party started. Look forward to more live sets by Class Act as he plays more bangin shows. The link is to SoundCloud so just click download where it says, you should be fine.

Time to RAGE!!!
So much goddam work in the past few days and worrying about this and that. It's time to rage. Night out on the town at UEA tonight for this guy. It's time to get the party started off the right way with a couple hot bangin' tracks for you all. First off, we got a remix of one of my favorite Daft Punk songs of all time. Daft Punk is about to get big once again with the release of Tron: Legacy (which looks absolutely sick, check out the trailer). They did the entire original score for the album so expect some great tunes to come out of the soundtrack. Second, we've got one of my favorite up and coming artists remixing, well, Skrillex. A remix of his own song, I implore you to listen to the "My Name Is Skrillex" remix, might actually be better than the original. Third, a throwback. Anyone who ever owned Guitar Hero 3 is familiar with Muse's "Knights of Cydonia", well guess what, there is a hot dubstep remix of it. Epic track, this is one of the hardest dubstep tracks I have ever heard. I'm out.
Daft Punk - Around the World (Lo n' Cho Remix)
Thank you once again to Big10HouseMafia.com. This is an absolutely dirty remix of Around the World. The mix with Harder, Better, Faster of this song off the Alive 2007 album is easily my favorite Daft Punk song of all time. However the original version of "Around the World" never got my fist pumping the way I wanted it to. Well now, Lo n' Cho have done it. You must download this one.
Skrillex - My Name Is Skrillex (Skrillex Remix)
Skrillex is my favorite electro artist to come out in the last 6 months, for real, this guy only has one EP out but it has been on repeat on my iTunes for weeks. Check out the full length EP and definitely download this song. Starts off a little slow and then you get fuggin' punched right in the jugular.
Muse - Knights of Cydonia (Nostalgia Dubstep Remix)
Sick dubstep remix of an awesome song. Muse is great on every count, and they are huge over here in the UK. Some of the hardest hitting wobble bass I have ever heard in my days as a dubstep fan, if you love dubstep you'll love this song.
BONUS BITCHES!!!!
Tayyib Ali - Penthouse Minutes
Tayyib Ali is sick, that's all you need to know. Great chill rap track, as are all of his songs. Check him out on the blog by clicking on his name in the tag cloud on the top right of the blog, download everything of his I have posted.

"Eleanor Rigby" Dubstep/Electro Remixes
I have been working on adapting scenes from Christopher Buckley's "Thank You For Smoking" into brief screenplays for my screenwriting class for the past few hours (yeah, I know it's already a movie, that's what I fucking told my Professor) and have found myself trapped listening to nothing but the Beatles for the entirety of it. I was curious if anyone ever remixed any of the Beatles classic tunes and this is what I found. Eleanor Rigby (one of my favorite Beatles songs I might add) has a few great dubstep mixes and one sweet electro remix that I found. As is the case with the original song, these are some real chilled out tunes, they don't really bang incredibly hard but that's not what I was looking for, they are all just genuinely good tracks. Alright, back to work. Peace
The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby (ITAR Dubstep Mix)
This is, in my opinion, the best of all 3 remixes. Doesn't get too hectic and sticks to the original song pretty good while working in the wobble bass at key moments. Best drum track out of all 3 as well.
The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby (MXWL Dubstep Remix)
The other dubstep remix I have for you. Uses the strings from the original track wonderfully and layers the shit out of the various parts of the original song, pretty great stuff. Let it wobble.
The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby (Thoko Remix)
Electro remix this time. If you were to consider any of these a banger it would be this one. Has a nice electro feel to it, good synth track in the background. Strays pretty far from the original though, it only really uses one line in the whole song over and over, but a fair amount of electro songs tend to do that, so I'm cool with it.

Fresh New Post
So I have just returned from the annual UEA Lax pub crawl, which of course was legendary. We hit up 4 or 5 pubs around town and ended at a sweet club (Essence), hilarious name I know but the tunes were bumpin. The jam I heard all night was the Duck Sauce remix of their Barbara Streisand song courtesy of Afrojack. Feels great to get fucked up with the Lax crew, despite the fact I'm in Norwich and the lax isn't exactly up to the US par. Still, this song had me goin all night. Jammin left and right, fucked up in the head I couldn't stop humming ooooh a oooh ooh a ooh ooooooh ooooh. Enjoy this fresh jam courtesy of Afrojack and the geniuses behind the Duck Sauce jam that is sweeping the nation right now. I have also included a few Skrillex jams, considering he is now the official opener for Deadmau5 for the NYC show and many more shows to come. Skrillex is sick, download all dis shit. Until tomorrow, I'm out.
