We have some dutchies in our newest mixtape friday! Check out these tapes from Beardeath, Beat the Bastardz and Hide and Scream.
First up Beardeath, a Dutch dubstep/trash lover. He just started making these killing tapes but they already are quite good, with some big bangers and loads of unknown track. Volume 3 is no exception, with a great mix of dubstep and trash music.
Next is Beat the Bastardz, two guys, DJep Bastard en Relfy Beat from Tilburg, Holland. These upcoming lads created a new mixtape especially for Wildgroei, which is a big party in Utrecht. Besides being resident DJ's at this party they played with some big names like; BMKLTSCH, Nobody Beats the Drum, Fukkk Offf and already played on one of Hollands biggest festivals, Lowlands. Watch out for these guys!
Next are Hide and Scream, more known then the 2 above. These lads started in 2009, but things did get big with their first EP Kraft. Now they have made a proper mixtape for Bimtaks.com, it contains some big tracks and some sick exclusives of themselves.
Probably the electro summer song of 2011, it's Mustard Pimps ZHM. Why is this a great summer song? Well, some great vocals, a funky beginning and a major drop does the trick. The original will be released today on the DIMMAK records, the remixes of names like Cyberpunkers, Dada Life, and more will hitting the stores on the 19th of July. As with all major releases there are no download, but unfortunately the streams are 2 minutes previews. Ah well, it will get you in the mood.
One thing we definitely missed in June was the EP of The Boomzers. It has been released on the 17 of June on all major stores, and contains two sick tracks, one ft. Circe and one ft. FTampa. I like So Fuck You most, because of the raw beats and raw voice of Circe. Purchase the EP on beatport, and listen to the streams here.
The Boomzers ft. FTampa - Boom (Original mix)
The Boomzers ft. Circe - So Fuck You (Original mix)
We haven't heard from Owl Vision for a while, well the Swedish lad is back with some mighty fine electro. Two brand new tracks, one is called Deathstar and comes with a cool vid, the other is Dancing which is a free track. Both contain the distinct sound of Owl Vision, raw and dark. You can purchase Deathstar on all major stores like Beatport and the EP with remixes is coming on August the 17th.
Besides these two tracks there are some remixes coming up. One for Australian Vengeances Nebulas, which was released last week. The other is a remix of the Destroy Squad, both are sick.
Summer has begun, and what does a great summer/pool/drunken party need? Right the best dubstep. So I've selected the, in my humble opinion, best songs for this summer. I'm not gonna say they are all brand new, because they're not. But all are definitely good. Buy them if you like it and support the artist. Let's start.
One subgenre of dubstep I always like is the combination of a great voice with a sick tune. One name which can't be missed then is of course Nero. Tracks like Guilt, Innocence, Me and You and the latest Promises are the best known, and Nero's best tracks. Especially Promises and the Skrillex vs Nero remix, damn what a sick tune. O and free tip, check Dirtyphonics remix of Me and You, hence this aint a DnB list it ain't on it, but damn good track!
But there's more. Robyn is known by most people now, Feed Me is maybe lesser know, but he's Mau5straps oldest member. Maybe you know the guy as the DnB artist Spor. Anyway, he turned to dubstep, and how. With an huge album last year called Feed Me’s Big Adventure. Now he did a sick remix of Robyns Call Your Girlfriend and I just love the sweet voice and deep drops.
Katy B is of course a name which can't be missed in a list like this. I admit, it's sad she went commercial, but that doesn't change the fact that Katy On A Mission is a proper track.
In the same category as Katy B's track there is Ellie Goulding, well Jakwob version of her track Starry Eyed. Jakwob is a name the watch with a upcoming album on Mercury Records.
The originals of DJ Fresh do not get loads of airtime, but the remixes definitely do. First Gold Dust, now Doctor P and Flux Pavillion their remix of Louder. Bangerr.
Nneka is a German hip hop/ soul singer I've never heard from before. But Chase and Status took her track Heartbeat and turned it into a beast. The electronic beats and sounds fits perfectly.
Aren't there any male singers combined with dubstep? Well of course, James Blake, but everybody knows him. Lesser know are the Crystal Fighters, and indie band who make all kinds of music. Their song Swallow is more of a dubstep song, a combination of their indie influences and big basses. Although the original is all right, Funtcases remix is sick.
It is time for another mixtape friday. This time we have some dutch influences and i think the biggest man in business right now.
Let's start with Dem Slackers. This Dutch fellow gives us a nice mixtape which will get ur through summer. Not as hard as you are used to get but with a very very nice flow
Next Dutch man is Don Diablo. Always known for his different styles and this time it is no different. Starting the tape with some house en electro house he is finishing it with the biggest dubstep.
This is one of the biggest successes from the last years. He is one of the few with an entire EP in the top ten of Beatport sales. Now he has his own Essential Mix live recorded @ Rockness Festival a couple of weeks ago. You know i'm talking about Skrillex right. This tape also includes an interview.
