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)

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.

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.

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.

Skrillex - Cat Rats (Original Mix)

Fresh New Releases

Ladies and gents, here are a few high quality releases climbing the charts on BeatPort.  For those who aren't aware, Beatport is essentially the iTunes for electronic music, some songs are more expensive than iTunes but I am pretty sure the bitrate on nearly everything is higher on Beatport.  That being said, you all know how much love I had for Skrillex, and dude has literally had 7 out of the top 10 spots for 2 weeks running after the release of "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites".  So, I have given you my top Skrillex jam from that EP along with a few other new releases (and I mean new, shit came out like 2 days ago).  Enjoy and keep raging.

Skrillex - Rock N Roll (Will Take You to the Mountain)
Awesome track from Skrillex.  I love every song off this EP, definitely worth downloading.  It's got some dubstep sound, some house, some heavy, dirty electro on it, and even a bit of cracked out rap.

Spencer & Hill - GoGo Girl (Dirtyloud Remix)
Another artist that never dissapoints me, Spencer & Hill are unreal.  This remix just got released, I believe the original has been in circulation for a while.  This is one hard, heavy track, so prepare yourself and let it bump.

Michael Woods - Nitro
Off his freshly released "Nitro EP".  Michael Woods is fairly new to me, but when I saw the tracklisting for Deadmau5's new album and saw that one of the tracks was the "I Said (Michael Woods Remix)" I had to check him out.  This track is deep rooted in house, it is a genuine banger.  Don't miss out.

An Onslaught of New Tunes

The posts have been lacking a bit for the past few days, except for some great work by my bro Stud Nibs.  I haven't been putting that much brand spankin' new music up for you all because of work, odd sleeping hours, stressful events, so on and so forth.  So I present to you an absolute bombardment of (mostly) brand new face melting, boner-inducing, all around fantastic jams.  Enjoy.

Mimosa - Psychedelic Stereo
Courtesy of PB&J, this jam right here is incredibly unique.  It's got hard hitting synth tracks, but it doesn't go over the top and completely assault you with ridiculous samples.  Chilled out, slower bass and drums than the usual stuff, but it makes for a great, chilled out electro track.

Lil Wayne - 30 Minutes to New Orleans
Supposedly a cut off the Carter IV, which is apparently being released November 5th (the day Wayne gets out of prison).  If anyone has seen the Carter Documentary, this song is being played in the background in the scene where Wayne is watching the Celtics/Lakers NBA Final in his tour bus and cracked out off sizzurp.  Sick track, cannot wait for the release of Carter IV.

Skrillex - Kill Everybody (Bare Noize Remix)
Don't be alarmed by the title, Skrillex has not gone the way of a heavy metal screamo artist.  This is a cut off his second EP, "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites", the entire thing is worth downloading, you can find it pretty easily online.  That being said, this track bumps super hard.  The lyrics are weird as fuck but that's not important.  This track is a certified banger as are most songs Skrillex puts out.  Well done.

Skrillex - Scatta (w/ Foreign Beggars & Bare Noize)
Double dose of Skrillex, what could be better.  Little bit different than classic Skrillex, there are two rap verses in there, which is pretty damn cool.  The middle of this track is a total onslaught of electro insanity, a must for any Skrillex fan.

Tayyib Ali - The Right Time
I have said it before and I'll say it again, Tayyib Ali is one of the best young, talented rappers out there.  He brings a very chill, laid back feel to all the tunes he puts out and whoever is producing his beats is flawless.  If you've like the Tayyib I have been putting up, grab this one for sure.

Afrojack - Amanda
Afrojack continues to dominate the Electro-house scene on a day to day basis.  Let's just hope he doesn't go the mainstream road of David Guetta, who is now producing shlock for useless artists like Flo Rida.  I say this because if any of you have seen recently, he produced a song for the Black Eyed Peas called "The Time (The Dirty Bit)".  The song itself is not bad but lets hope we don't see any T-Pain tracks produced by Afrojack in the future.  Still definitely top 5 electro artists out there for the time being.

That New New

I have been bumping that Bassnectar I put up on the last post all week.  Once again, let me tell you the album is SICK.  That being said, here are a few new jams.  There were a few songs in the J-Crew long ass mix that I am trying to figure out, especially the first one, so I'll have some of those for you soon enough.  In the meantine here are a few hot new releases.  Enjoy.

Breakdown - Pet Monster
This song dropped earlier in the week.  It's got some great build ups and an addictive main riff.  Bass is good and heavy as well.  This track is a must for electro-house fans.  Will make you want to move your feet and bump your head fa sho.

La Roux - In For the Kill (Skrillex Remix)
As you all know, Skrillex is fucking dirty.  La Roux gets a lot of their songs remixed by dubstep and electro artists, and most of what comes out of it is very good.  Heavy, tough electro track as you can usually expect from Skrillex.  The version of this song with Kanye is pretty good too, check it out when you get a chance.

Wale - Mike Tomlin (Black & Yellow)
You're sure to recognize this beat immediately, this song is essentially a remix of Wiz Khalifa's "Black & Yellow".  The beat is sick as you all know and Wale brings some insane flow to the track.  Haven't had a good old fashioned rap track on here for a while so I figured you would all enjoy this.  Cheers.

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.

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.

Duck Sauce - Barbara Streisand (Afrojack Ducky Mix)

Skrillex - My Name Is Skrillex

Black Eyed Peas - Rock That Body (Skrillex Remix)
