Gettin Back on the Horse

Check out these jams, ya turkey!
First of all, I want to apologize for my recent slacking in consistency of posts.  Since coming home, I have actually been doing (semi)productive shit with my life, and have shamelessly ignored bringing you the bangers you need so very much.  Not helping the situation either is my new toy that Santa brought me, which has already caused me to lock myself in my room for hours on end and remix the shit out of the tunes that you and I have come to love.  Thanks to my boy Avemon for keeping R2R afloat with that last post despite my laziness.  Anyways, here are is a flurry of firey hot jams to keep you warm in this blizzard.  And DO NOT FORGET about R2R's epic end of the year post coming up, with the "Top 10 Most Raging Songs of 2010" complete with downloadable mixtape of all 10 as well as the individual tracks.  All entries must have been released in 2010 and, as usual, must be the most Ragin-est shit out there.  Enjoy these jams.

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...

See You Bitches Next Week

Alright, I'm leaving tomorrow morning for a weekend in London to see Bassnectar and Rusko at Club Fabric in the heart of merry Londontown, and I am fucking jacked up for it to say the least.  Should be an epic weekend with the aid of some prime substances.  So here's my farewell post for the weekend showcasing the two artists I will be seeing live.  Look for videos on the Ready2Rage facebook page upon my return.  Peace.

Bassnectar - Boombox (Bassnectar and ill.gates Remix)
Original is great, but this shits better.  Whoever ill.gates is he brings the fire to every collaboration with Bassnectar.

Bassnectar - Here We Go
Favorite song off my favorite Bassnectar album (Timestretch, I would say Wildstyle Method but its only an EP technically).  This song bumps real hard and its going to burn the house down live.

Rusko - Cockney Thug
Pretty much the essential Rusko track.  Great Alan Ford voice sample (Brick Top from Snatch, one of the greatest movie villains ever).  Ready to get my wubwubwub on to this one.

Dubstep Revisited

I haven't been posting a ton of dubstep on the blog recently, don't know why.  I suppose I don't have the greatest resources for brand new dubstep shit that comes out, I follow more Electro/House/Hip Hop type sources for all the music I put up here.  So, I just thought I would throw a few recent as well as older dubstep tracks up to quench the thirst of all our readers.  As the blog grows, I'm sure we will find an author who is a dubstep specialist...

Doctor P - Big Boss
I just started listening to Doctor P, and this is by far his hardest hitting track.  Awesome riffs in there, and the wobble (or screech) bass in there feels like you are getting electronic insanity injected directly into your brain.  Woah.  Yeah, download it.

The Pixies - Where Is My Mind (Bassnectar Remix)
Most people will recognize this song, whether or not they have heard the Bassnectar remix.  One of the first Bassnectar tracks I ever had.  Had to put it up, I am seeing him live on Friday night in London.  Super jacked up for that.

Boy Crisis - Dressed to Digress (Nero Remix)
Nero is one of my favorite dubstep artists, along with the likes of Borgore, Flux Pavilion, and Rusko.  Everything he touches is an instant classic, and this song is no different.  Great song.  Wub.

Time to Get Wild(style)

Bassnectar dropped his new 7 track EP "Wildstyle" today and let me tell you it is absolutely sick.  Purchased it on iTunes immediately since it is literally impossible to find a free download.  However, this is one of those times that I absolutely encourage music fans out there to buy this album and support the artist. Bassnectar releases a ton of shit that just gets leaked on the internet so be a dear and buy the album on iTunes.  That being said, I can provide you with a little sample of the album for your listening pleasure.  I am sure everybody already heard "Wildstyle Method", the title track off the album.  Well, the album version is 3 minutes longer and is definitely worth having a listen.  Here are my favorite 3 tracks off the album exclusive here for download.

Bassnectar - Hot Right Now (Bassnectar Remix)
This song bumps super duper hard.  It's a remix of a rap song so the verses sound oh so nice over the dubstep madness that Bassnectar provides.  Heavy, heavy bass as usual.

Bassnectar - The 808 Track
This one has some rap undertones as well, there is a guy rapping throughout pretty much the entire song.  Catchy as shit and backs up the title with some serious 808s in the background.  Seriously, the bass on all of these songs is unbelievable.  Signature Bassnectar sound.

Bassnectar - Encore (ft. ill.gates)
The last song before Bassnectar goes into his random electronic track "Fun With Synthesizers" (the only track I don't really like on the album).  Encore is a little bit different, it's a collaboration with another sick dubstep artist, ill.gates, so you can tell where they play off each other in the track and what they bring to the table.  No vocals in this one so it's much more focused on the bass and drums, which are unreal.  Enjoy all three tracks and BUY THE ALBUM!
