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=12Sporting 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 RevampsNew 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 GoonsMensah 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 - RudeboyAnd 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.
Hulk is a collaboration of two creative minds that share a similar production style and enthusiasm for heavy bass driven music. After meeting at the 2009 Winter Music Conference in Miami, they began to send files back and forth to collaborate on projects in Dubstep, Hip Hop and Electro.
