Staying to those lovely heavy guitar fueled Electro-step sounds and furious super-energised basslines with the debut release by the French trio Le Cactheur, La Pute & Le Dealer. Out on Jet Set Trash, it is no exaggeration to say that “Smell My Fingers” sets the perfect example of how a “pedal to the metal” release should sound like. Full of Rock’N’Roll attitude and bad intentions the trio is really making a statement with their “Smell My Fingers” EP. 1 original that blurs the boundaries of Metal, Electro, Punk, Drum & Bass and Dubstep and follows no rules but sets its own. Style and power is 2 things you can hear throghout the original and the 3 remixes by Sawgood, RIOT 87 and Imagin8 follow in those exact same footsteps. You will struggle to find anything bad on this one really, so unless you are a fan of Justin Bieber turn the volume all the way up and make sure your neighboors get a good strong taste of this one too!

It has been a while since the last subject-related Metalectro Special if not mistaken, and if there´s genre next to our common blog fodder that is usually being featured here, but delivers often pretty cool, dark and badass tracks with an amazing pace, it certainly is Drum And Bass, so i thought to come up with D`N´B Special Pt.II today! Featuring altogether six tracks – three of them remixes, and all tracks being freebies – this post also delivers plenty of fresh blood as four of the artists being featured within (five strictly speaking, the 5th has been remixed though) will also be mentioned for the 1st time on this space hereby! I hope you enjoy this small collection and last post, check the tracks out and have a great evening!!!

Boss Doms – Tango Smith [Freebie]

Imagin8 – Cops And Robbers (The Mechanist Remix) [Freebie]

Dead Battery – Misled [Freebie]

Freqax – The Witch (Abara Remix) [Freebie]

Mr. Bill & Stickybuds – Hard, But Fair [Freebie]

Deftones – Tempest (HeavyGrinder Remix) [Freebie]

Time to wrap things up and let the weekend start but before we do i have saved a Metalecto Special and a double “remix of the day” post for the end. And when i say special this one is special by all means, since not only both remixes are some of the most Metalectric material we have heard in a while but also pit one known big name against a young up & comer who has certainly got a lot more to give with his music. So, Zardonic vs iMAGiN8, since they both remixed each other’s tracks on their EPs out on Jet Set Trash this month and what a combination of styles and results this working relationship has produced so far really! The story goes something like this, iMAGiN8 remixed Zardonic‘s “Restless Slumber” for the “Restless Remixes” EP that was released on early October and really the 18yo producer took everyone by surprise as his remix was a devastating guitar fueled Metalstep banger of the highest standard and quality!

Okay, this day turned out to be not really that damn hard music-wise i have to admit, but i´ll make up for it with my pick for the “remix of the day” and will finally put the pedal to the metal again with this last post! Been taken from the “Restless Remixes” EP by Zardonic out on Jet Set Trash, this remix by Lock N Bounce made it to be my favourite of this release! Of course i liked the other remixes by Gör Flsh, Hijack Da Bass, Tomorrow We Fall and Imagin8 that are featured on this EP also a lot, so it was a hard task and tight decision to pick today´s ROTD out of this one, but in the end this kick-ass approach combined with the lovely badass chopped vocals is the one that touches my metalectric heart the most, so big ups to Lock N Bounce on my behalf! This is it, play it loud and have a banging evening!!!

Going on with the same massive sound and style and a new release by Imagin8. As fresh as it gets this one was out a few hours ago on Jet Set Trash and when we talk about massive we mean m-a-s-s-i-v-e! The extremely talented 18 yo wonderkid from Boston (USA) has hit again, this time with an 8 track EP, titled “Pure Justice”. 3 originals, moving between Dubstep, Drumstep and Drum & Bass plus 5 really great remixes by Zardonic, The Mechanist, Prismatic, Monster Kill and No Fake? and it should be pretty clear that this is an EP bound to make some serious noise and rightfully so. All tracks are great, with the opening “Pure Justice” setting the mood for what’s to follow right from the start and you will hardly find anything bad on this one, especially if you like your bass music loud and top class! Definitely a realease to check out so hit play below!
