Starting the day with a new release and we go straight to “dirty” mode as finally Dirtyphonics have made their comeback with a new release. Some of you might remember featuring their track “Power” (feat. Matt Rose) here a few months ago which made it clear that some new Dirtyphonics material was on the way, after quite some time. And finally the new EP has been released on Dim Mak Records a few days ago, including “Power” as well as three more original tracks. All four tracks on the EP are collaborations, with Matt Rose lending his voice on one more track. As for the other names appearing on Dirtyphonics‘ “Write The Future”, UZ, Trinidad Jame$, 12th Planet and Julie Hardy have all contributed to the new “dirty” EP. Great production and the sound we know and love by Dirtyphonics and despite maybe being slightly on the softer side than previous releases, admittedly this is a release of great overall quality, even if we’re not big fans of Dirtyphonics going Trap. Definitely one to check out, whether you’re a long term “dirty” fan or not. Continue reading »

Here comes a preview of the new Dub Elements LP “Experiments”, out today on Mass Bass. An album that includes twelve original tracks by the Spanish duo moving between Electro House, Dubstep, Trap, Breaks, Drum N Bass and pretty much covering all spectrums and subgenres of “EDM”. Some heavier and harder than others, some more main stage and Beaport chart targetted, all tracks sound good and tight from the production side although being perfectly honest we would prefer to hear more of the harder and heavier sound (e.g. “Bullshit”, “Yesterday And Always”, “Sulphur”) and less of the mainstream one. Still, for those who are more into the whole EDM and big festival sound than we are (and we are not that big on that sound to be honest) “Experiments” LP should be a release they will enjoy so check it out.

Boys and girls fasten your seatbelts and get ready for take off because Spag Heddy is back with one more new EP, this time on Rottun Recordings and if there is one thing we can be certain of even before hitting play is that this one is coming with some megatons of bass. His new EP is titled “Here I Am” and includes three Dubstep originals (no surprises here) and some of Spag Heddy‘s best work recently in our opinion. Top production, as expected, by an artist who’s really taking the Dubstep world by storm lately with releases on most (or quite a few at the very least) of the major labels in the style. What remains to be seen is what comes next for Spag Heddy which given how productive he’s been recently won’t take long to find out we bet. But until then, check out “Here I Am” EP for some tasty bass music and bon appetit! Continue reading »

Going on with quite a highly anticipated new release next, as surely those of you aware that Virtual Riot had a new EP coming these days must have been looking forward to the moment it goes online, which has finally arrived as the German artist has made the full “Nightmare” EP available for streaming on his Soundcloud. Out on Disciple Recordings yesterday, “Nightmare” EP comes with four original Dubstep tracks, one of them being a three way collaboration with Autodrive and Splitbreed. Massive sound design and top production like we are used to hearing and expect at all times by Virtual Riot who this time has not only gone heavier but also darker than most of his previous releases, something that we here on Metalectro can of course appreciate and most definitely enjoyed. Check out “Nightmare” EP below by all means if some good Dubstep is what you’re after (or even better just check it out anyway)! Continue reading »

Hell-o and a great start to the new week to all! Starting our blogging session a bit later than usual today since we got slightly sidetrack first by Soundcloud and then by our opening post been taken off Soundcloud in a move that is most likely aiming at boosting Spotify streams since the full release was publicly available for some days now, up until a few hours ago. Anyway, hopefully it will be available on the label/artist Soundcloud again soon enough and we’ll be able to finally share with you but for now lets move on to another new release, coming the Pharaohs of hard Electro, Against Humanity, who had their “New World Order” EP out on THU Records a few days ago. Three originals that move between the trashy Electro we’re used to hearing by the duo mixed with more Dubstep-y sound design, parts and elements, something Against Humanity have done before in their previous production as well anyway. “Intoxicated” has to be the track we would pick as our favorite (if we had to) out of what is overall a pretty nice release, especially if you like your Electro hard and loud. Check it out! Continue reading »
