New Unreleased Track by Skrillex

Who needs info about Skrillex? Everybody talks about him and I guess he is a little bit like Beatles was to kids back in the days. He made (or is making) a genre mainstream. He makes girls (and boys) cry and scream only because of appearing. Only difference between them must be that on live sets people used to scream "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" and now they are screamin "OMG" or "I want to kill everybody in the world"

Sonny Moore (a.k.a Skrillex) isn't just anyone. He kicked of his carrear in 2004 as a singer / guitar player in the Post-Hardcore band From First To Last. This was at the age of 16. 2007 he had a solo project with main focus on electronic rock. 2008 he created electro / dubstep act Skrillex & was signed to mau5trap (Deadmau5 label). Not too many months ago he started his own production company called OWSLA, which already did several releases including artists like KOAN Sound and Porter Robinson.

Yesterday we could hear a 19 minute mix by Skrillex on BBC Radio I. The mix included a lot of Skrillex songs and remixes. Also included was a few of the new artists on OWSLA. The biggest surprise in the mix must have been the unreleased track Devils Nest that he did together with an artist he already featured in his productions this year, namely 12th Planet (see Needed Change).


This is what the previously unknown track Devils Nest sounds like:




Here is the already mentioned Skrillex mix from BBC Radio I where the song was included:

Zedd's First Dubstep Production Out Now

Just recieved new music from the German professional DJ Anton Zaslavski, or maybe most of you know him as Zedd. With tracks moving to the top spots for almost every release, there is no doubt that the new single will begin to appear on the EDM lists around the world.

It was just about 2 months ago that Shave It was released on Skrillex label OWSLA and loved by the big electro crowd. Remember the bear with the razorblade on the cover. About 5 songs on SoundCloud that Zedd released last 12 months have got over 100 000 plays. The DJ have done touring together with big names like Skrillex, Deadma5 & new kid Porter Robinson.

It's very nice to see that a DJ, this big, is releasing Scorpion Move for FREE on SoundCloud.


Zedd haven't done dubstep in his previous original productions. He did of course remix Skrillex not so long ago. In Scorpion Move you can clearly hear the influence of dubstep. Wonder if group pressure have something with this to do (now look at who he toured with). It's however very good, and Zedd should be proud of his release!




EDIT. I should have visited his Facebook. It even reads there "my first dubstep song ever".

Sway - Still Speeding (Kill The Noise Remix)

Dubstep genious Kill The Noise have really proved he can remix any genre to his own trademark sound. The last three months must have been hectic for the L.A. producer . He have released some really epic remixes of already good original songs. One of his tracks, and the first one I heard was Robyn - Be Mine featuring Rye Rye. I didn't even hesitate once to include it in one of my own monthly DJ mixes when it came out. After that, he released remixes of known bands and artists such as Five Finger Death Punch, Korn & Skrillex. He also did a great job on the tracks by the "newcomer DJs": Porter Robinson & KOAN. And just a few hours ago we could once more enjoy a new remix by the young producer.

This time it is the UK rap artist and producer Sway DaSafo's track Still Speeding that is being remixed. Once again Kill The Noise performs his trademark dubstep style that I like. I have to say the drop reminds me of the Be Mine drop, but not too much though. Now just listen and enjoy.
