Excision - Shambhala Mix 2011 [Mix]


For the bass heads out there, if you don't know about the legend that is Excision, let me give you a brief introduction. This Canadian bass producer is mainly known for his aggressive, hip hop and metal influenced dubstep as well as his extremely technical production technique that rivals many producers out there right now. He runs Rottun Records, a label that I've been following for a while now that has launched names like Datsik and Downlink into the upper ranks of the current dubstep scene.

One of the things Excision is infamous for are his Shambhala mixes. The first one I ever heard was his mix from last year. His Shambhala mix from last year was notorious for the insane amount of dubplates that did not see the light of day until this past year, like Downlink's once-elusive and robotic sounding "Factory", and those dubplates that still haven't seen the light of day as of yet, like Excision's...awkward
sounding remix of Insideinfo's "Awkward" (which makes an appearance on this mix as well!). You're in for a treat with this mix because he brings many tracks that have been brought to the mainstream, such as Skrillex and Nero's remix of Nero's "Promises" and The Others and Trolley Snatcha's "Break Your Neck", while dropping the dubplates and unreleased remixes of huge tracks.

Infrasonics - Volume 8


Antiserum - The Swarm EP [Purchase: Beatport]

I'm a big fan of anything Rottun Recordings releases, so this one's a treat. Fans of Datsik, Excision, Downlink, and basically anyone who's ever released anything on EX7 or Rottun will enjoy this release.

Danny Byrd - Tonight (feat. Netsky) [Purchase: Juno | Beatport ]


Huge drum and bass banger from an awesome collaboration between Hospital Records artists Danny Byrd and Netsky. I don't know if it's because I'm a sucker for catchy hooks (who isn't?), but this is definitely one I enjoy a lot. It has a very feel good vibe to it and the music video's also pretty damn entertaining. My favorite remix off this release is definitely Cutline's drumstep remix; I just love the beat and the twist that they put on the vocal hook. I think after just a couple listens, you'll be singing along with the chorus and humming that melody.

Infrasonics - Volume 7

If you haven't seen my last post about Beyond Wonderland 2011's bass music stage Caterpillars Garden line up, check it out here! And there's been quite a few releases this week, so let me share with you some of what I came across while browsing around the stores and what not.

Sepalcure – Fleur EP [Purchase: Bleep | Juno | Beatport]

No Think by sepalcure

Big release from these New York based producers on Hotflush Recordings. Very chilled out and deep dubstep tracks, these tracks have a lot of ambient sounds along with dark sounding drums and expressive basslines. I highly suggest this release.

Eddie K, Beezy, Minus / Jakes, D Minds – Serial Killa (D Minds Remix) / Gold Chain [Purchase: Juno | Beatport]

Serial Killa D Minds re edit by D-Style

Here's two massive drum & bass tracks that were released a few days ago on DStyle Records. If you haven't heard the original dubstep version of "Serial Killa", I suggest checking that out too. The D Minds remix of "Serial Killa" is just a drum and bass banger that gets into a drumstep part and you'll just wanna jump up and down while hearing this track. "Gold Chain" is also a massive track worth checking out.
