Big Releases November 2010

Going to do a monthly post on my favorite albums, EP's and remixes released in the last month and give relevant links to each. We'll get things started with Deadmau5's new artist album.

Deadmau5 - 4x4=12

Sporting a huge cast of little bleeps, this is definitely the album with the most diversity. Bleeps range from the usual hypnotic progressive house, to crazy in your face electro anthems, to a house influenced breed of dubstep. I have to say that I think this album in general doesn't deliver like some of his other ones do. Not to say that some of the bleeps aren't incredible, because I am a big fan of 'Cthulu Sleeps,' 'Bad Selection' and 'Right This Second,' but the album as a whole doesn't shine like some of his others.

I would have liked to see bleeps like his alternative version of 'Sometimes Things Get, Whatever,' 'Industrial Stength Sleeping Pills' and 'October' dropped on the album, but they weren't. Why they were excluded I don't know. What I do know is this release has gone from among the best of 2010, to little better than a mediocre release unfortunately.

Elite Force - Final Revamps

New revamps from Elite Force. I am particularly happy to hear that his revamp of 'Amirah' from Chasing Shadows is among them. It's a fantastic dubstep-gone-breakbeat rendition that should enter into each one of your hard-drives as it was meant to be heard; in sparkling 320kbps from Beatport.

Blame - Star (Doctor P Remixes)

Doctor P has switched up his sound a bit to do a pretty cool dubstep remix of 'Star' from Blame. Doctor P admittedly, isn't as hot as he once was, but this is definitely worth a listen.

Mensah - Digital Dreamer/Kashmir/Big Up The Goons

Mensah brings the purple sound with this new 3 bleep release. 'Digital Dreamer' is a Joker-esque sounding mellow dubstep bleep that makes for a great listen, 'Kashmir' with Noah D is a big BANGER of a bleep that hits you in the face and 'Big Up The Goons' is a dark purple bleep that makes you wanna shake it. BIG release this.

Zeds Dead - Rudeboy

And finally Zeds Dead has released a HUGE EP on San High City Records. It's called, 'Rudeboy' and the original is a dubstep bleep that incorporates a Wu-Tang style beat with real sounding drums that includes their signature wobble to massive effect. With no fewer than 5 remixes, Zeds Dead is becoming harder and harder to ignore.
