Muchachos & muchachas, are you ready? You've probably heard this pretty classic Excision & DatsiK tune before. But I must say that this remix makes it into some next level badassery music. First, a trip to groovetown with some moombahton, which is appreciated. Then a change in tempo, we get some drumstep gangster stuff and lastly some dnb madness that might scar the retinas in your ears. Dirtyphonics are great when it comes to keeping it original, I is a fan of those fellas indeed.
I'm pumped about ill.Gates sending me this album preview and letting me join the ill.Uminati!
I've been a fan of ill.Gates since I first found Glitch Hop Forum (.com) and randomly downloaded ill.Gates & VibeSquad - The Fire Man (which was also one of the first songs to be featured on BP, histoy lesson up in dis). This album is sounding like it's going to be pretty sweeeet, with collabs featuring Samples and DatsiK amongst many others! Remixes galore as well, I'm betting this will be sick.
Still stuck with horrible internet wi-fi, fml

BADABING BADABAAAM! Excision album mmh yeee. Every year at this time it's like, "gimme Excision's Shambhala mix now please". Well people, I guess this year we got an album. At first I took a listen to Sleepless and X-Rated. Those two songs weren't really what I expected from Excision. But I took a second swing at the entire album and I've got the say it's pro's greatly outweigh some, in retrospect, minor cons.
Ohhh Nooo is great, Excision really shows he can whip up some mean electro bangers if he has too. The collab with SkisM is awesome, and SkisM's personal sound really shines through. Some of the tunes you might've heard before, from an Excision mix or something like that, so now you can get the full versions, yay!
UKF D&B Bass Culture Mega-Mix! :'D Packed with so many great producers and "awesome songs we remember" like Terravita - Beat Goes On, Loadstar - Space Between, Shock One & Phetsta - Crucify Me Pt. 1, Spor - Pacifica (Chasing Shadows RMX), Noisia and so many more. Sometimes life is good! And there's also...
The dubstep mega-mix! :'DDD Featuring the likes of 16bit, Roksonix, Gemini, Trolley Snatcha, Skrillex, KOAN Sound and others! Releases tomorrow, and you can buy it here (for the measly price of £9, seriously that's fuckin' cheap for 2x CD's 'n 41 tracks).
I will be blasting this for a while, believe it.

This one gets me everytime. I'm always like yeah, listening to the beginning, then I go "hey this is just like the original", then it just happens, the swagga does a 180 and it's just like, wat. Basically it's a mashup of remixes featured on Excisions Shambhala 2010 mix, and the song/clips/whatever is ripped from there. The original Swagga is an iconic dubstep song and everyone knows it, but this remix just makes it evolve to Charizard if you catch my drift.
We usually refer to this tune as Reverse Swagga 'cuz that's what it feels like.
Love it!

So yeah, everyone knows what dubstep is ye? Well, a genre that is a close relative to both dubstep and d&b is drumstep, and it's just as ill for various reasons. Featuring the kind of heavy dubstep beat you normally hear, but speeding things up a bit to close the gap between it and d&b, it really creates a different kind of swagger!
Today I wanted to point out the differences, by showing you two songs, a dubstep classic, and then its drumstep remix counterpart to make it proper obvious. Into the fray we go!
DatsiK - Firepower. Oh, this song. This, song. The amount of times it's been on repeat, where I've heard it in mixes and when someone has dropped it live added up, would probably mean I've listened to it A LOT OF DAMN TIMES. Arguably one of DatsiK's biggest tunes, so catchy and heavy, perfect vocal samples and all, it really shows how great dubstep can be sometimes.
And, if you'd happen to tire of it..
You've got this to cover for ya. Levelas remix of Firepower is stunning! DatsiK dropped this at a gig I attended. Me myself, friends and probably the rest of the audience, all had our jaws drop about 5 feet. The sheer awesomeness of this song on a good audio rig is undescribable. All in all, Levela took Firepower, performed the exact changes needed to make it a drumstep banger, and he did it very well.
This should properly show you the meaning of the genre drumstep! If you have enough money to buy just one of these tunes, best be a beggar for an afternoon and buy both anyway. (They're available on beatport.com real cheap, actually)
Later there'll be another drumstep tune by a bunch of guys who you're very likely to already adore if you've stayed updated! Cyaaa~
