An artist having their own sound has seem to become quite an anomaly these days. While most fall to what this insane era of progression deems to be mediocre, some are bravely holding onto originality.
Mistabishi is no doubt a member of this proudly surviving troop. Formerly on
Hospital Records, he just recently made the switch to
Noh Records to release his new album. "{](-_-)[}" (his album) is an unbelievable fusion of genres, which Mistabishi sums up simply as "bass". The album is a great representation of his versatility and incredibly multifaceted abilities. This is my favorite track off the release. Rolling bass synths, sharp drums, and pitch building madness bring this one all the way to the bank. Do yourself and Mistabishi himself a favor and cop the rest of the release right
here.

The Colorado bass has been booming, per usual.
Jantsen and
Dirt Monkey teamed up to put out a track on
Play Me Too Record's "Dreamcatcher EP". A chopped up doo-whop sample leads into an epic big bass moombahton banger. Sick variation and energy building pitch interval from start to finish. I definitely expect to be hearing this one played out very soon. Cop the rest of the EP on
beatport.

Starkey is a boss and his remix of D51's Red Rain is just another flawless track in his bag. Big room bass and classy sampling. This shit will definitely get the dance floor freakay nawty right quick. mmmm thats some baby making music.

The new
Afk and
Hizzleguy collaboration EP, "Full Clip", just dropped and its packing a serious punch. This powerful duo put together 10 dance floor wreckers with the help of only a few friends. I am almost positive I heard "Shining" played out by Flux Pavilion on New Years in Denver, but do to certain circumstances, I can't really jog my memory. Regardless, this is definitely that mid set, lose your shit kind of track. Serious build ups with warm, refreshing breakdowns. mmmph. Big ups to this insane collab.
Shining (feat DKS) - Afk & Hizzleguy
DCarls just put out his "Flavorhythm EP" on
Simplify Recordings in three parts. Each one is packed with some funkay tunes. The title track really does it for me.
Ludacris is the dude and DCarls does him some serious justice in this heavy, but melodic banger. Snag the rest of the release
here.

I think a lot of people can relate when I say that
DJ Shadow is one of the main reasons i'm all up in this bitch. He has always been seen as incredibly innovative throughout the production spectrum and has even recently revitalized his live show with the
"Shadowsphere". Little Dragon had me at Wildfire, so naturally this duo interested me. When I saw this Engine-EarZ Experiment remix I was really interested and, sure enough, was stoked on it. If you don't know Engine-EarZ, check out this
video from a couple years back. This is an absolutely massive tune. Get at the goods.

Lastpaq is a Dutch DJ/Producer who has been invading clubs since 2006. He just recently released this dubstep track on his soundcloud in a free giveaway. Dope reggae sample with the killer drums and heavy, fluctuating bass synth. I dig it.

Breaknoise is a young-gun dubstep producer out of the UK. This is a pretty dope heavy groover. Can definitely see this one moving dance floors around towards the end of a set. Quality.
Hippo Deck - BREAKNOISE
Teknian just released his "Firedance EP" on
Screwloose Records and its some hot fire. The whole release is a pretty interesting mix between a new-age robotic type sound and elegant, melody driven breakdowns. The title track is most exemplary of this, but download the whole EP right
chere for the whole feel.
