Diplo – As I Lay Dying

Thanks to Rolling Stone We get to hear a 10-year-old Diplo track that was cut from Florida, his critically acclaimed 2004 debut album. Halfway between Trap and RJD2, “As I Lay Dying” sounds both modern and old in ways only Diplo could pull off. On the 10-year-anniversary of Florida, the album will be re-released with more never-before-heard tracks from the studio session, including a remix version of “Into The Sun”, which you can also hear above.

Skream – Filth (DarkElixir Bootleg Remix)


I don’t think I’ve ever posted anything by DarkElixir on this site. He’s a great DJ and producer, and probably doesn’t get enough credit alongside people like Crizzly for doing the “Trap” sound before it was called and before it sounded terrible. Unfortunately he’s retiring and selling off the last of his equipment, which is a huge disappointment. He still has one last remix to drop. A bootleg mix of an old Skream tune “Filth”. Apparently he’s offered the download for free. I’m having trouble downloading it but hopefully that’ll work itself out.

MINI-REVIEW: Two Tracks From An Upcoming Rusko EP

Thump premiered to new Rusko tracks over the weekend from an upcoming EP. While the tracks had Rusko’s typical bounce and funky feel to them, the veteran DJ and producer has managed to move past limitations like genre and BPM to create some crazy new tunes. “Rusko’s Theme” and “My Style” are great examples of likeable Dance music that is bass-heavy and a little poppy with elements of jazz and 8-bit as well. Enjoy and keep an eye out for an upcoming Rusko EP. “Rusko’s Theme”, an ode to vintage video games, isn’t to 8-bit to be danceable and “My Style” sounds like a Trap track at first…but then horns and wobbles come in, turning it into something else.

Skism – Never Say Die Vol. 3 Mix (Presented by UKF)


Skism’s label “Never Say Die” has dropped their third compilation of Bass and Dubstep records (in conjunction with UKF.) To celebrate, he did a huge mix of songs from the compilation and some other songs from frequent collaborators at Circus Records (home of Flux Pavillion, Doctor P, Funtcase, etc), Disciple (Bar 9 and others) and Big Tuna (Trampa). Basically, some of the biggest names in making Dubstep what it was/is and expanding the huge Bass genre. This is a crazy mix, definitely something worth checking out if you’re into Grime, “EDM”, basically anything Dance or Electronic. Enjoy and support by purchasing the compilation here. The mix tracklisting is below;

4Bidden – Vertigo

The always mysterious 4Bidden drops another melodic Electronic track, with elements of House, Trap, classic Hip-Hop and Grime. “Vertigo” is less dissonant, dark and Bass-heavy than some of his other material as of late, but it still remains memorable as ever.
