The Weeknd is the 'future r&B' project from 20-year old Torontoian (it's French), Abel Tesfaye. Combining super smooth vocals with bassy, full-bodied and danceable production, this shit is pure sex, the likes of which totally gay herbs Christopher Brown and Ne-Yo, and totally boring contemporaries like Frank Ocean and Theophilus London only aspire to. The Weeknd is on another level, and we're bringing their incredible debut House of Balloons EP to your ears first, before they blow the fuck up (which they will).
Wolfgang is back at it, and I cannot wait for this shit to be released.
On another note, everyone has probably seen his youtube video, this new kid on the block that goes by the name of Madeon has been killing it lately. Not only has he done a banger remix of one of Deadmau5's tracks and have it released officially by Mr. Zimmerman a couple weeks after putting it on the web, but he also has a ton of original tracks that are pretty fucking dope. His sound is sort of french-electro-ish with some heavier influence on some of the tracks. Here's a sampler to get you started
Next up we have some harder electro from these peeps
Nice little preview for their upcoming album there. They just released a single from it, and I've gotta say, its fucking great. Kind of a dark spooky feeling, but the synth melodies make it awesome.
Same classic Nero sound, but drum n bass styled out. Sounds like it could almost be the intro to their album which is due to be released in the near future. Hmmmm?
Dubsteppppin like nobodies business. A slower jam with sick vocals, not really sure what else to say about this one, other than its stronger than what you think.
Basically takes the original and shits on it. Crazy wobbly sounds coming from this one. Uses the original track to full advantage and it works really well, check it out yo!
Not sure if this one's been posted already...might have been, but whatever. Moombahton! Pretty upbeat, happy song...then the trademark Dillon Francis sound comes in and turns it into pure awesomeness
A homie back out in Boulder showed me this one. The vocal intro works so well, gets you stoked, and then the bass comes in and everything just turns to nasty. Great work boys!
Not that the original wasn't sick enough or anything...Disco Reason takes this and turns it into something amazing. A little bit of a Deadmau5 sound in there, and I kinda like it. Give this a listen and get back to me.
Post dubstep is getting more and more popular. I've been following intently, finding out what works, what bangs, and what simply doesn't. Something that has always attracted to me these post-dubstep tracks is the use of pitch bent vocals, and hip-hop beats. It just works so beautifully. RL Grime has successfully done so, and has therefore attracted my attention. His recent EP has the futuristic, simple, beautiful sound of James Blake, but also mixed with the old school synths and hip hop beats much similar to Girl Unit. Check the tracks "Die 4 Me", "Clipz", and "Neat" for some of his best.
This mix is fuckin' fire. It mixes and goes back and forth between post-dubstep and hip hop/trap. It's one of the best mixes to drop at a party. Gives you that gang$ta shit, and some post-dubstep to make all the hipster happy. Who else could put the hipsters with the felons and da thugs?
I know, I know, you guys miss us every now and then when we take a day or two off, so I've cooked up this batch of extra dark, extra dirty bangers 'n' epics for your blowing-some-steam-off-pleasure
Night Falls (Album Version) - Booka Shade not brand new, but the oft-overlooked Booka Shade always bring the fucking thunder. Crickets chirping build up to one of progressive techno's deepest, funkiest melodies of all time. Listen to this one all the way through- it'll get you in the right zone for this post, cuz this shit is about to get heavy.
Buku- Suit Shopping (Original Mix) by Buku fucking BANGER from the PA direkt connekt- this one's been getting mad love all over the place and we needed you to get on it asap. Buku's got the sweetest arpeggios bar none- and if you can dig it, be a boss and go vote for him here so he can be on the IDentity fest when it comes to your town. guarantee he'll knock your sox off.
Ultra - Cory Enemy & Dillon Francis brand spankin' new banger off the duo's ULTRA EP. Got that Skrilly vibe you fucks are always fiending, but with a lot more depth than just stacks on stacks on stacks of Massive synths. Plan on hearing this one at festivals well into 2012.
Keep Their Heads Ringin' (Figure Drumstep Edit) - Dr. Dre Reallllly good track to use as transition into a dubstep set; this one's got loud, screaming synths and fucking massssive kick drums...Straight outta Wompton (see what I did there?!)
Ion (Original Mix) - D.I.M. & Tai been a minute since we've had a collabo from D.I.M. & Tai since 2009's EPIC 'Lyposuct,' and I have to say: well worth the wait. The synths are alll over the fucking place. Techno is back and better than ever.
Opr - Gesaffelstein i'm calling this one first- dude's gonna be THE next big name in techno, and he more than deserves it. As expansive and bumpin' as it is totally fucking eerie, this one made it to my 2011 top 10 the first time I heard it. Fuck fidget- listen to techno.
Decoy (illGates + Dov Remix) - T.O.B. yeah, i've been hatin on dubstep a bit lately, wanna fight about it? Admit it- so much of it sounds EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME (you know who you are!). so when the orchestra swells and bits start crunching, this one's are all but way too refreshing. A+
If you haven't heard this yet, well...then now you have it. One of Avicii's latest bangers, everyone has been on this shit. There's a sick upbeat vibe to this house track, the vocals can get a little bit over the top, but regardless this one's sick.
Fuck yes. New Nero insanity! There's just something about this duo's tracks that makes them extra spicy. The original from Mr. Harris is pretty dope, but Nero just straight shits on it and its fucking crazy. Fuck.
There's a lot of similarities between this one and the Avicii track above...but they definitely don't sound like the same song. It's pretty mellow at first, but then the trademark Afrojack sound comes in. Wait for it.
Bass bidniz from a sick collaboration. Dillon pulled out all the plugs on this one for sure. Dubby goodness with sort of a glitch feel thrown in there...check it out, you might like it.
Electro house. Nuff Said. Naw, but really this song is fucking tight. I could even venture into this one being "house electro" instead of "electro house", big room synths and melodies make it seem like it at least.
Classic tune remixed into a fucking dopetastic track with a house-like feel. Porter Robinson dropped this ish in his birthday set at Global Dance Festival last week in Colorado...you know this shit's gonna be sick.
Damn, where'd my face go? Shit just melted from all of the tasty wobbles served up in this one. The vocals are kinda weird, but the drop in this is fucking nasty.
These next three are all from this dude named James Egbert. Based out of Denver, this dude spits electro house hot fiyahhhhh like no other. He's got an EP coming out soon, but he's released these three tracks on his soundcloud and they're all bangaaaaaaas.
A few weeks ago, Fade County had the tremendous opportunity to spend an evening with Israeli dubstep maestro, Borgore, and his lovely pornstar ladyfriend, Jessie Andrews. Here's what happened.

Chase & Status - Hitz (Dillon Francis Remix) Massive, massive tunes out this week! Chase and Status's "Hitz" EP being released. Which also includes Dillon Francis's remix. Taking a Skrillex approach. Personally I'm not a fan of this track but I'm sure alot of you are :P
Gym Class Heroes Ft Adam Levine - Stereo Hearts (Dillon Francis Remix) Speaking of Dillon Francis, and also speaking of him using the Skrillex sound check this one out. Again I am not a fan. Simply because I frown upon people using others signature sound. In defense of Dillon he replied saying he is simply showing he can do anything production wise. Which I respect! But still Dillon has done some amazing work, I personally don't think he should stoop down to Skrillex's level
As you can see I am not a fan of Skrillex. It is not that I am not a fan of Skrillex, I am not a fan of Dubstep producers jumping on the Moombahton bill. Obviously I am in no position to say who should and should not be producing Moombah. But with the slowly diminishing genre of Dubstep (again my own opinion), producers are trying to use Moombah as a way to bring it back up again. This is just what I have seen. From what I have seen from Facebook and heard from friends there are names like Flux Pavilion, Chrispy, Downlink. All experimenting at the moment.
In the end I think Moombahton is a sexy genre and should be left at that. Leave filth with Dubstep
J-Trick - Def Jam (Hostage Moombahcore Remix) This is that awkward moment where i just bagged Moombahcore then I post a tune. BUT Hostage has kept that sexy vibe, not over doing the wobble. And keeping it fresh. Loving this! And from someone I did not expect to be doing Moombah
Munchi - Metele Bellaco This is the sexiness I was talking about before. Sexy latin vocals (Don't care he's a male, the language is hot!), dutch leads. This is Moombahton!
Here's a mix I recently picked up on my safari through the internet. It's hard finding pure, genuine, and original dubstep anymore. It's all about making the craziest remix of whatever pop song was catchy however many years ago. I miss listening to the dubstep for the bass sake. I want hard hitting, bone crushing, mind blowing, and mesmerizing dubstep bass. To find that type you can only go to the past, so I have. Now I present to you with some of the O.G.'s of heavy dubstep in Excision's mix consisting of: Excision, Datsik, Bassnectar, 12th Planet, DZ, Bar 9, Skream, and many more.
This mix contains some of the best consistency I've heard in a mix. Pure heavy bass that you can never get tired of nor get enough of. Listen to it while you sleep, party, work, fuck, or blow your brains out. The choice is yours, but please, enjoy.
Plus, here's a new track from Dipo & Datsik. It's fuckin' bangin'. Gives you a club banger electro sound, along with Datsik's heavy bass. Pure nastiness. The chorus is über dope too, so check it.
First off - shut the fuck up about the Borgore interview, it's coming soon. Second off, here's some seriously heavy tech house that will make you want to do bad things.
Love Show (Tom Novy's Club Mix) - Skye starting you off hot and heavy, this one's a dark, seductive masterpiece way harder than any Novy I'm used to... and I like it. absolutely worth all seven minutes.
Antidote (Original Mix) - Style of Eye dude's quickly becoming my favorite house producer for his incredibly well-produced, genre-hopping bangers and this is no exception. weird, evil, and chunky, this one's an Antidote to all this repetitive fidget bullshit that seems to be taking over.
Girls (Original Mix) - Style of Eye BUILD is the name of the game, as this fuxxxed up sine wave symphony drops out like a trapdoor in a robot-run post-apocalyptic diamond mine. just listen, you'll hear it.
Cinema (Congorock Remix) - Benny Benassi ft. Gary Go thought Skrilly put this one to sleep until i heard the "Babylon" genius' retake on this soon-to-be classic and let me just say Congorock wins hands down. Brash, industrial but jungly at the same time. A+++
Wait for Me (Zodiac Cartel Remix) - Moby putting a 'when deadmau5 was good'-spin on some standard Moby prettiness, this one's glitchy, crunchy, straight out of one of Moby's nightmares.
now, to cool you offff....
The White Flash (Feat. Thom Yorke) - Modeselektor 'The Postal Service-on-DMT'-type robo-percussion and Thom Yorke's always eerie croons make this one worth sparking more than one to. shit goes hard in the mutha fuckin' taint.
Art + Cash (SBTRKT Remix) - Modeselektor finally, as clean-up crew, SBTRKT takes some James Blake-y vocals and some superhuman chords and pulls together just the right UK Funk to clean yr brains off the fucking floor to.
3 bangin' tracks in one which is basically a preview for each song. They're filled with catchy vocals and garage/ synth infused with house. Touch me ;)
Beat bustin' a nut in your eye Caspa and Emalkay take it back to Londontown. Lots of claps and some heavy bass... A grimey yet sophisticated way to say "Drink up, and party hard!"
Been awhile now since my last post, stoked to get back at it. Life is pretty fucking sick up here in Whistler, BC. Riding erryday and enjoying the tasty waves n' such. Heres some new stuff for your daily grind you muhh fuckin ghostfaces!
Haven't heard a song from this dude yet that I didn't like. Always an upbeat vibe and sick synths with of Calvin's tracks. Yeah its Passion Pit...but the remix makes it right, enjoy your day to this one.
A homie hinted to me that this is from their upcoming studio album to be released this coming fall...not sure if he's bullshitting me or not, but regardless the track is fresh. Typical Nero sound, sick wobbly goodness with some dope lyrical samples thrown in there
Zedd's been killing it lately. With a style compared to electro-mainstay artists like Wolfgang and Porter, this dude's in it to win it fo sho! Remember that crazy ass classical song your music teacher used to play for you in lower school? Yeah, Zedd remixed that shit.
Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass...and did I mention...bass? Sick vocal-step that flows perfectly. Crazy machine-like wobbles all over, deep kicks, fucking dope track right hurrrrrrrr!
Favorite fucking track of the post! Melody is on point, sounds like some Calvin Harris. Big room house sounds with lots of kick and bass as well. Turn this one up, its gonna be epic.
You missed me? :P. Hope your ready for your weekly installment of Moombahton! More tunes are coming out, new producers are on the rise. Things are looking very exciting
With producers like David Heartbreak to show some inspiration for the next generation with amazing tracks like this. Jumping on the bill with Toddla T. You may have heard this on Diplo's Moombahton Mix. Total banger! Has been said to be released today actually lol. If your keen as fuck on this as much as I am check the Facebook Page where I will release some more info.
In the mean time check out the full preview. Hot!!!
One of my fav producers JWLS. Constantly bringing out hot tracks. Never disappointing. Also JWLS is one half of GTA which just released there latest EP under Laidback Lukes label "Mixmash".
