Toxic Tuesday 9 : Catch up day

     So you may think today is Tuesday, its actually Monday, I'm writing this early so I don't continue to miss days. I fear I'm losing you guys out there, our second month anniversary is tomorrow (... fourteenth right?) I'm horrible with dates. But the point of all this tired rambling is a quite serious realization that many of the blogs I follow, are shutting down, people don't have time to blog or read blogs for that matter. Its becoming less personal and more of a rush to appease the almighty viewers, hit them with so much music they forget everything they know. Well today I've decided to not give you any new artists, to not expand your musical views any further than I have already, today is the day to focus on new material from artists you should already know.

     A big number one really, our first Metalstep Monday was a smash hit registering number two on the total pageviews chart as of today. But did anyone actually follow the links, like the facebook pages? If you had you would know that Stephen Walking dropped a new EP called Zombie Union this past saturday.

     That link will take all of you that are as cheap or broke as I am to a free mediafire download of the EP. For those of you with pride and money, it costs two dollars on his bandcamp. I suggest you redeem me and buy it there, cause really... two bucks... 

     Our second recap here is of Drivepilot, hopefully you remember this amazing Canadian producer from a not so distant Suggestion Saturday and a bonus song a week or two ago. This is dubstep at its purest and as always I'm excited to find even one track for free.

     His new EP, aptly named Ruthless is available for five dollars here, and the whole thing can be previewed for free here. I'm a fan of the direction he is taking at least with Ruthless, it seems to be drifting more towards metal with the classic strings I can't get enough of. If I hadn't wasted my money I would be right over onto his website grabbing everything I could.

     For those of you who have been hiding under the proverbial rock, Skrillex dropped his new EP, More Monsters and Sprites. This one is a big one, containing his new songs Ruffneck, and First of the Year, as well as more remixes of his songs than you could possibly listen to in one sitting. Buy it here on Beatport for $17.43.

     Personally I don't think anyone can even come close to the majesty of the original, but the list of those willing to try keeps adding up, and those two seem to be the best. Surf around you may be able to find the original mixes from the EP on a few blogs, given time I could find the links from where I got them. But that would take all the fun out of it.
