Time to plug in some guitars and rock some socks off and Modestep are definitely a name that seems to always find ways to do just that. With their new album “London Road” being on the way (set for release on May 26th) and the single “Machines” out about a couple of weeks ago, alongside two remixes by Mefjus (Drum N Bass), Tru Fonix (House) and an official music video, we thought it was definitely worth some space on this blog as we quite enjoyed both the original and Mefjus remix. Both tracks are most certainly are on the hard and heavy side of Electronic music meaning that should keep all you bass maniacs pretty happy, so here come the “Machines” and why not go full audiovisual too since we can with the video of the original? Enjoy! Continue reading »

Review: Nero “The Thrill” EP

Drum & Bass, Electro, Reviews Comments

May 062015

A release that many will be definitely be looking forward to is Nero‘s “The Thrill” and of course when a name of the size and statue of Nero has a new or upcoming release, the expectations, anticipation and hype around it make it really hard to miss, especially when the release comes with a remix by Porter Robinson too which took over most electronic music blogs immediately after going live. Now the full release has been made available publicly for streaming and while most blogs and music sites were ecstatic with Porter Robinson‘s remix of “The Thrill” which undoubtedly is a remix of both quality, musical intelligence and creativity, it was another remix that alongside the orignal mix really stood out for us from Nero‘s upcoming EP. Canadian artist Rene La Vice literally transformed the original into a beautiful, heavier and darker Drum N Bass hymn which is worth all the hype and love it will possibly receive. Definitely one to check out but here’s the full release for you listening pleasure. Continue reading »

For all Dubstep fans and heavy bass enthusiasts today (or actually yesterday to be more precise) turned out a great day in terms of new releases and one that we quite enjoyed is Dubscribe‘s new EP “Hyper Galaxy”, as is usually the case with the Japanese artist’s releases anyway. Out on Uplink Audio, the EP comes with 4 originals which follow in the footsteps of Dubscribe‘s past work, meaning heavy bass, aggressive riffs, lots of energy and great production. If you’ve enjoyed Dubscribe‘s previous releases then there’s absolutely no reason whatsoever not to enjoy this one too so make sure to check it out if you’re after some new loud Dubstep sounds.

So, following all the “May the 4th” jokes that took over social media yesterday it’s our turn to have some fun, dark side style, so here comes our “Revenge Of The Fifth” track selection including 5 tracks that we loved during April and think all heavy bass maniacs among you will love too. 5 original tracks from 5 different artists/releases and a mix of Electro, Dubstep and well, Zardonic who if anything transcends Electronic music boundaries and sub-genres more often than not while staying loyal to the Metalectro sound. As for the other four tracks we have chosen to exact our revenge with, Megalodon, Downlink & Terravita, Belzebass and BAR9 are all names that need no introductions and are more than qualified to ruin your neighbor’s day while making yours.
