Wonder Wonder - Shark (Illenium Remix)

I'm normally not the type of person who locks on to one song and plays it over and over again. But there's something about +Illenium Official's remix of Shark by Wonder Wonder that I just can't stop hitting the repeat button. This production has such emotional depth, it definitely gives me feels. The drop is powerful and yet tastefully done. It fits in perfectly with the atmosphere and mood of the song. I can't wait to hear more releases from Illenium. His talent deserves to be heard by the world.

Krewella - Alive (Stephen Swartz Remix)

I'm going to try to start doing a "Flash Back" friday to start shining the light on some of the amazing lesser know tracks and artists that I love but discovered before I started this blog. Today I offer you the amazing remix of Krewella's Alive by Stephen Swartz. Stephen has an incredible production style that you really must hear to understand.

Some people may describe it as "glitchy" or "choppy" but I think that is a gross oversimplification. Stephen finds a way to weave small samples and sounds in and out of his tracks with an amazing sense of style and grace. The result is an amazing tapestry of sound that brings an entirely new feel to this well known original.

It's been almost a year since I've heard anything from Stephen but I can't wait to hear more.

Wooden

It’s probably only been a week that I’ve known about Wooden, but believe me theirs is a ship you’ll want to be on while there’s still space. The nice chaps over in Karlsruhe (Germany) got in touch with me over Soundcloud after they saw that I “like bass music” to share some of their own with me. (I honestly did just quote that from the message they sent me!)
They describe their sound as a mixture of electronic synths and guitar riffs.  But after listening to some of their work I have to say that they massively undersold themselves. Imagine running through a forest in the blackness of night, a blinding white full moon above to guide you out. You’ve just called on supernatural powers to escape the terrors of the dark and there is still an unfamiliar, electrical energy sparking in your soul, an energy that creates an insatiable desire to live and fight your way through; a touch wordy I know, but that’s how I felt after listening to Rebellion (in the link below.)

Previously, two of the Wooden members were in a project called Rubjox (which by the way, is a brilliant project to look into); the then duo had a very dark, almost ‘electrometal’ kind of sound with it. Those influences are still involved with the group’s new vision and with the help of their new guitarist, they can realise their aural fantasies on a more robust and daring scale.  

Please do check them out on their web socials, they are still a name rising through the electronic ranks and they really do value any and all the support they recieve.

Viper - Outlaw

Our first submission from a reader and it's a good one! Outlaw from viper is solid throughout with minor arpeggios and a gritty bassline that give it a dark feel worthy of the title. A very well thought out and executed drop brings many elements together and importantly for me, keeps the chord progression moving throughout. This is a great track from one of the lesser known artist's in the EDM scene. It's a free download so make sure you add it to your collection, and follow Viper for more great music!

Skrux - If You (Original Mix)

Electronic Music doesn't often get the credit it deserves for being a true art form. So often it's stereotyped as only being "rave music" or "computer music" or "techno". If You by Skrux is one of many examples of how electronic music can be so much more. Using just a few samples of chopped vocals, Skrux creates a dynamic and emotional piece that will hit you right in the feels. It is amazing how much the vocals communicate without ever really forming a full sentence. Perfectly mixed and produced, this is the latest in a long line of must have tracks from Skrux. Keep your eye out for more from this 19 year old producer. The sky is the limit for him.

Woolymammoth - Lord

I love artists who take risks. Woolymammoth has such a unique style and is a master of incorporating spoken word into his tracks, and he is definitely not afraid to take risks. Lord is a perfect example of this. He masterfully uses Samuel L. Jackson's recitation of Ezekiel 25:17 from pulp fiction to create a chilling and compelling effect. I just love how dark and grimey the bassline is. Amazing track. He's also graciously made it available for free download!
