Skream is definitely one of the best dubstep artists right now. And now he gives us a free album! Gotta love that. I haven't listened to it yet, but I recommend downloading it. Also, watch this hilarious, appropriate, video below.
The Gorillaz released a free album the other day, and I love free music. The cool thing about this was that it was made entirely on iPads. What was I thinking when I said iPads were useless? (I still think they are just really big iPhones that can't call anyone.) Anyway, I'm currently listening to this and it's great. You can't download it yet, but can listen to it. I'll set up a DL link soon.
There's so much new music, but I was too busy with exams to post any. Now, I'm going to post too much, and it's all going to get buried. Whatever.
First of all, if you didn't know, Daft Punk is doing the Tron soundtrack. That makes me want to go see it. If anyone would like to join me today, in the next couple hours, I'd be down, but I need to make it back in time to participate in extracurriculars. I might have to keep score tonight.
Anyway, this is ill-esha remixing the soundtrack and bits from the trailers. It's really cool, and I suggest you give it a listen.
This right here is that ish. It's hard to put all music into a category, but I think this is what I would call glitch-hop. It's got some dirty bass lines, some funk, and still a hip-hop vibe. This guy goes by the name of VibeSquad. This his 4th CD called The Fire. Give it a listen and go to BANDCAMP to download. Even if you're usually not a fan of dubstep or whompage, give this a listen, maybe you'll change your mind.
I don't feel like explaining it, so here it is straight from www.werenewhere.com
"In February 2010, Gil Scott-Heron released "I'm New Here", his first album in thirteen years. In August 2009, as a member of The xx (and producer) Jamie xx released his debut album "xx".
"NY Is Killing Me" is the first song from "We're New Here", Jamie xx's reworking of 13 tracks from the Gil Scott-Heron "I'm New Here" sessions."
If you don't know who Gil Scott-Heron is, he is a living legend. He's been making music and writing for over 40 years and still going. I'll be honest though, I haven't given him enough of my time.
If you don't know who The xx are, they're an indie rock band from London, born in 2005.
Now here is the original Gil Scott-Heron song that was reworked. Sounds nothing like the other one, really cool to see though.
+verb (pronounced adverb) is one of the growing names in dubstep. If you like dubstep, get to know this guy. He's been behind the scenes working on a ton of people's music. Now, he's suiting up for a 2011 tour. I don't know the details, but I promise you, this is not a show anyone is going to miss. Here's his latest EP, go to bandcamp to download it.
4x4 does not equal 12, but Deadmau5 doesn't care. This album 4x4=12 comes out today, but I found some sketchy website where I could listen to it about a week ago. I must say, it's pretty damn good.
Some of the songs have a hip-hop feel, some have the classic Deadmau5 electronic house sound, and some have dubstep sounds. It's an album that probably won't get on the radio much, or get much public play at all, but it's worth getting.
Go ahead and listen to it yourselves. Goodnight world.
This is exactly what I said when I heard about this song! YES! is a new colab between Datsik and Bassnectar. Whoa. I haven't even listened to it, but I'm frantically typing because I want to get my laptop to my speakers. Don't listen to this song from a laptop or cheap headphones, I know the wompage will be too much. This song is about to womp my face off.
Duck Sauce! and Louis La Roche. I don't know that second one either, but DUCK SAUCE. Well here's the new one called Good To Me. Not as good as Barbra Streisand but it's not really a disappointment.
What business does Barbra Streisand have on this blog, you might ask. Absolutely none. A song just came on my iTunes that I need to share with you. It's by Duck Sauce. Duck Sauce? Yeah, Duck Sauce. A group consisting of, once again, my favorite DJ ever, A-Trak and his homeboy/very accomplished DJ Armand Van Helden. They just got together and are already making great music. This song is #1 on the charts overseas, hop on board America. Yeah there's an advertisement before the video, just power through it. It's worth it, trust me.
+1 to the Calgary Flames for using this as their goal song.
Also here's a sweet picture of A-Trak. I'm in here about 3 people from the front. I don't think I've stopped dancing since this night.
Now I know Dubstep isn't everyone's cup of tea, but It's definitely in my cupboard. Man I'm not actually funny Anyway, I'm going to try not to overload this blog with one type of music, because I could definitely just post some dirty dub or conscious hip-hop all day long. So, onto the track, this is a remix of Bassnectar's track Boombox by one of my favorite dubstep artists, Datsik. My other favorite is Excision, you'll know him if you keep reading the blog. This song is actually filthy by itself, then Datsik remixes it? I don't even know what to say, just let it womp.
A-Trak is hands down my favorite DJ. Everything he touches is amazing. He used to be Kanye's DJ but he's doing his own thing now. His label, Fool's Gold, just released a CD with a lot of music from the label called Fool's Gold Vol. 1. My favorite song off the CD is called Ray Ban Vision, A-Trak feat. CyHi Da Prynce
