Beat The Weekend part. 15

So we just reached 1000 friends on Facebook. I really cant think of a better way to thank all of our supporters (yeah that's you) than giving away a whole bunch of awesome tunes. There will be a few goodies coming in the next day or so to help celebrate this little milestone. So watch this space..

Dubstep track of the year gets retouched in all the right places.

Skrillex - Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites (Dirtyphonics remix)

Take my word for it and download this. I was completely blown away!

Chris Brown - Look At Me Now (Nerd Rage & Sluggo Remix)

Subvert is up to his usual tricks again being the master of breathing new life in to the oldies. This time he dubs out some emo.

Evanesense - Bring Me To Life (Subvert remix)

This is what Excision opened his Shambala mixtape from last year with.

Excision & Downlink - Existence VIP

This is just a real cool track. They throw some mad wobble in there for good measure.

The Bangles - Walk Like An Egyptian (Swerve and Adjected remix)

I just rediscovered this remix yesterday. Its been on serious replay ever since!

Does It Offend You, Yeah? - We Are Rockstars (Cold Blank remix)

Cookie Monsta takes you down in to the dark basement were I'm sure dubstep was born

Cookie Monsta - Bubble Trouble

And to finish on a lighter note we have a mad mashup courtesy of Dj Schmolli

Jay Z vs Dropkick Murphys - Johnny's 99 problems (Dj Schmolli mashup)

Peking Duk - Bingo Trippin' (Thrusher remix)

This isn't de`javu. I know Lucas posted all the previews to this massive single by Peking Duk a couple of weeks ago. It came with some amazing remixes and you can check them out again here in case you missed them earlier. Alright now to the point of this post, Thrusher took it upon himself to whip a dubstep remix of Bingo Trippin' and its fucking banging! Right out of the gates he uses the coolest bassline seen this side Surry Hills and a drop that will have you free falling for days. Mega props buddy!!

Some tunes?

I've been rather lacking with the posting side of things lately, and it's lucky for the blog's sake that Jamie has been posting shit left right and centre (yeah Jamie, yeah!!!). Although I have been fairly busy at the moment with school, my own tunes and stuff like that. Anyway I don't want to bore you with my life so here's a few cool tunes that have had me bouncing around my room lately!


Huge Klaxons fan, saw them play it live and it was mental, huge Designer Drugs fan and the things they can do with a song that already rules so much had me salivating.....so, you say? Why haven't you posted this earlier? Hmmm, to be honest I listened to this track once when I got it a while back and dismissed it as "yeah a good track". However I was wrong...it's far more than that, it's a great track.

Klaxons  - Echoes (Designer Drugs Remix)


This one is unreleased, however I sleuthed my way through various internet...things and acquired it. I'm very glad that I did, this in dopeness x4000. After hearing this I think it's fair to say mr. 12th Planet really influenced a lot of Skrillex's early production work. Regardless...this is fucking massive get it inside you speakers.. NOW!!!!

Skrillex ft. Penny - All I Ask Of You (12th Planet Remix)


I never really considered dutch house a genre, it's just one of those unnecessary sub-genres that, well, doesn't exist. Anyway call this what you want it's got a super dope vibe, cool atmospherics and some 8-bit esque synth that will have you smiling ear to ear.

Afrojack & R3hab - Prutataa 

Live Sets

Smidgem has just been completely overrun by mixtapes this past week. Not that that's a bad thing, they're all quality and come with my highest reccomendations! Here we have a couple of live sets from good friend of Smidgems that were recorded by Raw Fm.

First up from Canberra we have Cheese. This live set of his was recorded straight after Skrillex and right before Deadmau5 (crazy set time) at the recent Warehouse Festival. Its full of all those tracks that you always want to hear when you're in fine form.

Cheese Live @ Warehouse Festival 2011 - Streamed-to-Air on RAW FM 87.6 by Cheese

Here we have two kids form the central coast who go by the name of Wolfpack. Ive seen these guys play a few times now and they definitly know how to pump the crowd up. The place is jumping by the end of their set! This set was recorded at the Woodport Inn on the Central Coast.

Slippery When Wet

SlipperyWhenWet DJs were born in June 09, when Russ & Dean discovered that while other people’s eyes glazed over at their endless music-nerd talk ,they both shared a passionate love for electronic music, and could spend hours playing tracks for each other and crapping on about electro to fidget to dubstep. Already the coolest kids on the South coast, it wasn’t too long before the DJ duo grew too big for the Wollongong pond and started to head up to Sydney every weekend, where they felt so at home they quickly took up residences at the infamous club 77( Starfuckers), and Candys Apartment. The boys have been killing it on a few solo projects and collab's too under their other guises Ruslan & DeanJay. They're definitly a act to go out of your way to see!

They just sent through this awesome 20 min mix that is jam packed with the most banging tracks going round and it has plenty of their own work thrown in the mix too. This has been on serious repeat!

Slippery When Wet - 20 min mix

Flux Pavillion & Doctor P - Takeover Mix

Flux Pavillion & Doctor P recently took over Radio One for 2 hours. As you would expect they lifted the roof of the joint with the illest dubstep getting around right now. The Circus crew seem to have their own sound and they showcase the shit out of it with this radio show. There is so much unreleased gold on here with mini mixes from Funtcase, Distance, Rocksonix, Cookie Monsta and of course Flux and the Doctor go back to back.

Tipper - Wobble Factor

This is hands down one of the coolest mixtapes Ive heard. Tipper (real name David Tipper) is a British composer/producer specialising in elctronic music ranging from ambient, through trip hop to uptempo new school breakbeat. In this 'Wobble Factor' cd he brings all these genres together (with his own tracks) to form what me and my boys coined 'CROWSTEP'. If you dig this sound then please show Tipper some love on beatport. All these tracks are available as singles and there are plenty more beats just like this..

Tipper - Wobble Factor DJ Mix

Jantsen - Sultan Of Swing

So by now im assuming (hoping) that you have downloaded and burst your eardrums to Excision's latest mixtape and your life has changed for the better. Its so hard to pick favourites on a cd like that one but I really got hooked on Sultan of Swing by Jantsen. Maybe just cause its really different that it stood out or that it reminds me of early Rusko. Either way groove and swing to your hearts content!

Jantsen - Sultan Of Swing

Bonus-

Jantsen - Im A Balla

Product 01 - Ready To Rage (Bassnectar & Jantsen remix)

Raise Your Weapon - Noisia Remix

I stumbled across this the other day and given the names and reputations of both artists I knew it was going to be good. However this is beyond good!!!! This is probably the most well produced awesomest, superduper-est song I've heard. It's just plain mental, so if you don't have it do yourself a massive favour and get it, NOW!!!!

Deadmau5 - Raise Your Weapon (Noisia Remix)

Excision - The X Sessions Vol. 1

Everybodys favourite dubstep robot Excision has just released this brand new mixtape. As you would expect it is loaded with so much unreleased gold that will no doubt have you checking beatport everyday on the edge of your seat. The tracks that Excision has compliled on this are so heavy and dirty that every transformer within a few square blocks will be running for cover once they hear this blasting out of your speakers.
