Some quiteness but not on friday! We have some fresh selected mixtapes for you! This week with Zeds Dead, BeatauCue and The Oddword.
Let's start with Zeds Dead, everything they make at the moment turns into gold. That's why they made this next episode for Mad Decent World Wide Radio. Expect some epicness.
Next up is BeatauCue, this French duo is up to an american tour and made a tremendous mixtape for it. Unfortunately without a tracklist but i'm sure you can name some bangers in it. BeatauCue North American Tour 2011 Mixtape by BeatauCue
Almost weekend, get ready for some grooving, ass-shaking, moshpitting mixtapes.
A-Trak needs no introduction of course. His latest mixtape contains various music genres, but it's not that hard. So don't expect smashing electro, but it's a solid tape with loads of funk and house and with some great mixing skills. For the real trash lovers, check below.
Mightyfools release a new mixtape to celebrate their upcoming new EP Thunderbad. With tours in the USA and Australia/New Zealand, 2011 ends rather good for them Mightyfools.
What about the usual filthy dubstep? Well, Borgore did a little mixtape for BBC 1, called Daily Dose of Dubstep. Actually it isn't a little ordinary mixtape, it's more than 1 hour of pure filth. Just how we like it.
I'm not that keen on the latest tracks of Justice, I miss the old harder style, but on the other hand it's good to go in a rather different direction. Helix is the second track on Justice new album and as mentioned before, it's not that hard. Because it's still a funky track I will share it with you guys. Next Justice track really needs to be harder though.
16bit is always in for some serious dubstep. Coming from his Dinosaur EP, Boston Cream is one of the best track. No distortion, just sick wobbles that will get you bouncing.
Further with some big new remixes, Noisia is back with a remix of Labrinths Eartquake. This producer from London did a collab with Tinie Tempah, and the original is already sick, but damn Noisia is killing it. Pure mayhem, just like Eyes remix which is below.
Filth from PartySmartie! They did a collab with A Girl and A Gun which led to a huge EP called Panzerfaust. The original tracks, Panzerfaust and Suicide by Cop are sick, the beats are killing it. The vocals of A Girl and A Gun in Panzerfaust are sometimes annoying, but it's still a great track. With some major remixes of Haezer, KRFTKDS and Andy's iLL, the EP is one of the best electro EP's of this month. Pick up the full EP on beatport
As a starter, funky mixtape by Boys Noize. Live on Berlin Festival he did a 40 minutes set which includes some great track, but most of all he showed us his live mixing skills again.
As moombahton is getting bigger, the godfather of it, Dillon Francis, get's more and more attention in the mainstream. He did a small mixtape for BBC 1's Takeover, and it's includes all kinds of genres, but mainly fat electro and dumstep/moombahton. Dance Dance!
Last mixtape is by Mustard Pimp, the latest Catastrophe, Vol. 9 already . More than an hour, packed with 31 tracks, loads of unreleased stuff and some fine bangers.
If you thought Porter Robinson is some crazy dubstep, be aware for listening to Excision new album X Rated. The title explains it all, it's not for the youngsters among us, nor the weak hearted. The album contains ten bombshells including collabs with Downlink and SkisM, and it's his first release on the Mau5trap recordlabel. Listen to the three robotic tracks below and pick the EP up at beatport
It is the first release on Skrillex's record label OWSLA and the honour is for the young Porter Robinson. This youngster already had some big tunes on his name, but this is his real breakthourgh. With remixes from Knife Party, SKisM, Downlink and Kill The Noise it's clear this one is huge. Got the original and a Knive Party remix of Unison as a download and Kill The Noise, Downlink and SkisM remix as a soundcloud. Pick the full EP up here.
A month ago the long awaited Watch the Trone album hit the stores, and Kanye West and Jay-Z proved themselves again. Turning the album into a big hype. Now LA based Market Price is about to take it over, with this remix album called Mark the Trone and includes all Watch the Trone tracks in a Dubstep, Electro, DnB of Moombahton style. I don't like all of the tracks, so I've picked five tracks which I think you should listen to. If you want the other tracks, get the full album here for free!
Subscape is going really hard with his sick new Universal EP. The dubstep he provides is not as hard as you are used to get from us but the flow in it is superb. It will be good in a party but I would prefer it to chill with at home. In other words, it's the kind of sound you can and should always listen to, especially Turn Me On. Enjoy! Get the full EP here
You want filthy dubstep? Try Canadian producer Elliot Mars. The kid gave his EP The Ancients away for free. Check beatport for more, he's got a sick track with Sub Antix and a EP called Particle.
Furthermore two dubstep remixes of the Belgian Gotye. Both Bombs Away and Neon Stereo did a proper job on this one. Build up in Neon Stereo is sick, Bombs Away wobbles are insane. Again combination of great vocals with dubstepbeats does the trick.
OMGITM returns with a September mixtape, and this time TAI makes it a bit harder. TAI already released some tracks under Boys Noize Rec and Dim Mak and made dozens of tracks. With more releases on Dim Mak to come, TAI is definitely a name to remember.

Beat The Bastardz is having a premiere. They have their first official remix released and to celebrate that fact they made an exclusive mixtape for us. It contains some unreleased remixes from Electrophants, Sick Boy and of course their remix for Sick Boy & Eric Sharp. So enjoy the gift from them and wait for the ep to be released.
We continue with another Mixtape Friday, I know it's Saturday already, packed with some sick mixtapes.
First up it's Inquisitive again with his Mad Thrills Volumes. Part 6 is all about the summer and titled Part Of The Summer Never Dies. So expect loads of house, baltimore and funk. It still contains some big tunes as well though.
More Dubstep with DJ Gomes! Did a couple of days ago a major mixtape for his brand new clubnight "Cable". The tape contains some electro and baltimore as well.
Knife Party, quite unknown, but the guys behind it are Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen from Pendulum. They released just one track a banging remix of the Swedisch House Mafia, and did just one gig, at Space in Ibiza. Luckily it got recorded, so you can enjoy some sick unreleased tracks in the mixtape! Will include some clips taken from the tape, a moombahton collaboration with Skrillex, which you might have heard before. A banging remix of Nero's Crush on You and their own track Internet Friends, as being clips the quality is not perfect, but doable. Knife Party is the most promising thing this year.
X-ettl is back with an upcoming EP! Belgian wonderkid really made it this year, with airtime on the Kissy Sellout Sessions on BBC Radio 1 and Studio Brussels. His EP Sintetic contains 3 originals and 5 remixes. Remixes done by Oddword, Wazabi and many more. The orignals are funky, with loads of bleeps, but still contain some sick basslines. Oddwords remix of Sintetic makes the EP complete.
Distrakt will release his latest EP Rompa Stompa tomorrow. It will be released under the Dutch record label Basserk Records. The original is quite funky track, with a big basses. Ofcourse it includes some proper remixes by names like Electrophants, Owl Vision, Shaved Monkeys. Check Owl Visions remix out below, and pick the EP up tomorrow at beatport!
There is always coming something from France. This time there are coming some huge mash-ups from In Da Face. Mashing up artists like Bloody Beetroots, Flux Pavillion, Dead Prez, LMFAO, Deadmau5; it doesn't scare him. Enjoy!
Belgian VNNR's new EP called What!? is another musthave. First of all, VNNR always stands for some great remixes, second it has been released in the Lektroluv records label and features a remix of the legend himself. Also Modek is doing a good jump remixing it. Pick up the full EP on beatport!
Another great EP, God's Calling of The Noisy Freaks and Blaster. You might know them from their first place in Neus Blast remix competition, and they are always in for some banging electro. This EP ain't no exception, God like vocals, raw beats and breaks. Together with some sick remixes of L.A.S.E.R., Trumpdisco, Geometry and Bassex, the EP is a musthave. Listen to the original and Trumpdisco's remix here and pick it up at beatport.com
The Noisy Freaks ft. Blaster - God's Calling
The Noisy Freaks ft. Blaster - God's Calling (Trumpdisco remix)
Call to Krieg is the latest EP from the Swedish F.O.O.L., and has been released for free by the Trashbagkids label. It contains three proper track, all with a sick build up. I like the original tracks more then the two remixes of Call to Krieg, they are a bit dull. On the other hand, To Arms is a sick electro track with some dubstep infuences, Call to Krieg reminds of the good old French electro and Machine Gun is the electro mayhem where F.O.O.L. stands for. Enjoy.
Let's give some props for this 20 year old fellow from Orlando, Florida. His newest single Jupiter dropped exclusively at Beatport a couple of days ago and i am sure it'll be succesful. It's DallasK. We have Jupiter, a remix he did for Nero and a bootleg with Porter Robinson and Swedish House Mafia in it. We will be hearing more from him in the future. Enjoy!
First up some filthy dubstep by Cyberoptics. This so called Megatron Vomit 4 is not appropriated for the weaker people, since it's more than an hour of raw dubstep. Tracklist can be found here
Next are the Mightyfools we did a quite nice liveset on Extrema Outdoor festival in Holland. I'm sorry for the lame MC, but tracklist is good with styles like baltimore and house in the beginning and some harder electro at the end.
Just some random tracks we have found or appeared in the mail.
Starting with a rather strange collab, Afrojack and David Guetta. But fortunately isn't what you expect, no a typical Guetta song, but actually a quite nice French like track. Takes a while before it gets started.
