Last weekend was pretty busy and filled with Electro and Indie Dance bangers but worry not, we still runnin' da trap! Today's episode has some of the biggest names in bass music: Zed's Dead, Baauer, Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, Major Lazer, Flux Pavilion, Dog Blood, Party Favor, Valentino Khan ...just to name a few! You also get 4 free tracks from one of my latest discoveries in Bass music: RATP! Great new producer! Enough with the talking (typing?), 13 new trapstyle tracks for free download, right here, right now! Enjoy the music and stop by our facebook page for feedback and comments!
I've got four very heavy chunes for you today. One is a deep bass remix by Kastle of Miguel. The other three are bangers. Extremely bass oriented. Get em while they're hot.

Since I'll be leaving for Electric Forest this week, this will probably be my last post before later into next week. But don't worry I've got some of the best songs I've had in awhile, just for this edition! I've got some great dubstep, one original, and one awesome remix by Zed's Dead. I've got a hard glitchy number that's a Barbaric Merit's remix. And then I've got two weird bass bangers by Munchi and Starfoxxx.
Okay I'm done for the day. Be back soon. I am not even going to talk about this track, to be honest I am just feeling up space here waiting on you to click the link and come check out this awesome track.
I bring to you my top tracks of last year, and it covers a wide spectrum of sounds and genres under the EDM umbrella. Elecktrokill all day! Give me your feed back in the comments and let me know what you agree with and disagree with.
10. TC – Tap Ho I am not usually too big on drum and bass, I don’t know what it is, but it’s just not my thing typically. However this song is straight murder from the second it begins. TAP TAP TAP TAP HO…dunna dunna. It constantly gets stuck in my head and I don’t mind that one bit.
9. SBTRKT – Wildfire What’s not to like about this song? It’s one of those odd songs that could either get you amped up a bit at a show, or is good in a chill setting. The production is stellar and although the rest of SBTRKT’s debut cd was great, this song is still the best track on there, hands down.
8. Dillon Francis – I.D.G.A.F.O.S. Dillon Francis takes Skrillex’s melodies and one ups them. Have you ever heard anything so catchy? The drop is beautifully hectic; this is a great introductory track to get someone into the moombahton tempo and would work well in most any dj’s set.
7. Example – Midnight Run (Flux Pavilion Remix) My oh my how big of a year have Flux Pavilion and his partner in crime Doctor P have had! I caught them both twice this year and was impressed with their sets both times. There were plenty of tracks I could have picked by them this year, but I just loved Example’s vocals in this song and how Flux played with them.
6. Silver Medalion – All I Ask (Codes Remix) This is my jam. This song is instant happiness for me. Everything about it is spot on. I love the dubstep like buildup into the final drop, and there is just a great overall progression as the song plays out.
5. Deadmau5 – Aural Psynapse (Myndset Remix) We all know Joel is a douche, but would you have him any other way. Even though he is a jerk to many, it’s quite clear just by visiting his facebook that he loves his fans, and that’s all that really matters. This track has everything you could want in a remix. It does justice to the original while adding great elements that really makes it a stand out track. It has a bit of “old school rave” feeling to it also which is nice.
4. Rusko – Everyday (Netsky Remix) Rusko hasn’t released much this year, though a new cd will be coming out by the crazy man soon. If someone asked me to recommend one dubstep dj to go see live for a newcomer I would pick him easily. His energy on stage is just wild and his song selection is always great. Netsky destroyed this remix, it’s an absolute banger.
3. Feed Me – Pink Lady I think Feed Me is my favorite new artist of the year. Here’s a fact not to many people know, he used to (or may one day again) produce drum and bass under the name Spor. This song is so awesome I don’t even know where to begin. The sounds are all so awesome, and that intro, has there been a better intro on any song all year? I am dying to see the man live again with his new stage setup, he plays the perfect mix of dubstep and electro house and his music selection is in perfect harmony with my own musical taste.
2. Zed’s Dead – 1975 The truth of the matter is I had the hardest time picking which Zed’s Dead song I wanted to put on this list. Every single song they have released this year has been perfect. In my eyes they can do no harm, and their brothers in battle: The Killabits are doing well too. I picked this song because I figured maybe not everyone caught it when it came out, and the vocals are a great clash with the dirty drop. Their sound is just so unique! I can’t wait to see what they do in 2012.
1. Steve Aoki and Afrojack – No Beef Yup I said it; this is my number one song of the year. Steve Aoki has a lot of haters; he is kind of like the Skrillex of electro, except the dude doesn’t just make electro! When you see him live it feels like a party. Well it is a party! The man has really stepped up his production game this year along with Afrojack too. The vocals are top notch, and I just have three more words…EFFED UP CAMEL!
Here's a great collabo from the Canadian duos of Zeds Dead and The Killabits. I'm pretty sure i heard a sneak peak of that track @ there show in Montreal last week and man the answer of the crowd was crazy. Obviously these guys need no introduction and you know the track is great so once again, if you like what you hear, make sure you support the artists and visit beatport.
The Canadian duos of Zeds Dead and The Killabits need very little introduction for anyone who is a seasoned dubstep listener. They have both found worldwide success remixing epic tracks and using wicked samples from a wide variety of genres to unleash their wobbles upon the masses. Quickly mastering the art of the remix, it was only a matter of time before they became household names at home and abroad.
Together, they hold a residence at one of the best weekly bass nights in Toronto, Bassmentality @ Wrongbar. Definitely something to check out if ever you're in the T-Dot. Past guest have included Nero, skrillex, Bar9, Dieselboy, Mary Anne Hobbs, 12th Planet, 16 bit, Borgore, Netsky and Plastician, just to name a few. Here's a look (and free download) of their recent collaboration, bearing the same name as their Toronto residency.
This represents perfectly whats going on tomorrow night in Montreal @ Telus Theatre. Once again, Dubmachine, Bouddha Slinky and Saintwoods are making it happen in MTL with this crazy line up. Of course it's going to be a night to remember and if you wanna be part of it, there's still a couple of tickets left. Honestly, you don't wanna be that someone who's gonna say to himself on saturday : Daaam i could have been there ! Tickets are available @ Off the hook, Moog Audio, Atom Heart, Adrenaline and SUBV. Buy them fast cause there's not that many left.
If each Zed's Dead track is fire individually then this mix must be lava.
Tracklist:
Zeds Dead – Adrenaline Zeds Dead – Hit Me Zeds Dead – Rumble In the Jungle Sébastien Tellier – Divine (Danger Remix Zeds Dead Re-Remix) Zeds Dead & The Killabits – Bassmentality The Electric – Toot Toot (Zeds Dead Remix) Zeds Dead – Oh No
If dubstep were a game of baseball then Zed's Dead would be one of the top players that hit home-runs. I have yet to hear a single song by them I haven't liked.
