So about a week ago I was cruising Glitchdrop and happened across a track by Phutureprimitive. At first I was not only attracted by the clever manipulation of P's and H's but the amazing cover art, but when I was told that I would have to pay for the album I was pretty bummed. My epic quest to locate a free version of Kinetic took me across the boiling deserts of the interwebz to a site called Transmission Seed, and that's where I found it.
One would have problems attempting to classify Rain's style with this album, maybe psydub, or melodic dubstep, but for now we'll just stick with electronic.
This is a ten track masterpiece of emotion and electronica with sounds stretching the limits of your perception and melodies floating across bass so deep you might lose a fender or two off your Sunfire. This album is for fans of electronic, or dubstep, or anyone curious as to what real music should sound like. Grab it up or w'll find you.
For the second part of todays post I thought we'd try a little change in format, after the amazing album above we have three random electronic tracks that have been buzzing around the internet and my skull this week. By Stephen Walking, Monarchy and Supervision respectively, no descriptions just downloads and preview vids, enjoy.
Hope you enjoyed todays post, let me know if you like the new Tuesday format at our facebook page here. Also I'm getting a new design tomorrow so t-shirts will be available soon!
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.
Welcome everyone to a beautifuly cloudy Easter Monday, which unfortunately is just another day full to the brim with bad news and other BS. So as usual, me being the bearer of bad news, todays scheduled post has been cancelled as The Buddha had some family emergencies on the weekend. So we'll switch it up a bit and throw something new up here for our first ever Metal(ish) Monday.
This weekend wasn't particularily enjoyable for me and I reverted to a genre of music that I had thought long too stale for my ears. I was shocked at what I found. A new genre of metal called deathstep filled my head with the heavy synth sounds of dubstep while screaming voices of rock gods tore my mind to shreds, and I can't say I didn't enjoy it. Read on to have your face torn off by angry DJs and their demonic devices.
Enter DJ Ephixa the first part of our deathstep duo. For those of you as blissfully ignorant as I was, deathstep is a fusion genre between Death Metal and Dubstep. Its bass heavy, mid-tempo grind makes it among the heaviest of genres today and I love it. DJ Ephixa flits around a bit with his music, he does hardstyle, hard trance, deathstep, drumstep and more so it rarely goes cold. Ephixa does most of his work with Stephen Walking, the second part of todays posting, but without further ado let there be bass!
Head on over to DJ Ephixa's Bandcamp page for freedownloads of some of his best works and collaberations.
Stephen Walking, it took me a second or two to get the joke. Like our other favourite zombies, Kanye West and Jesus, Stephen Walking is a BAMF and knows it. His way of taking dubstep songs and adding metal riffs and vocals blows my mind. If I knew something like this existed I would have been right there filling up my hard drive with it. Needless to say I'm making up for lost time and I encourage metal or hardstyle fans to do the same. Again head on over to his Bandcamp or Facebook for the downloads, they are well worth it. Also, if you can please support the band a little money goes a long way. If you aren't a member of the Mulisha then at last give it a listen, maybe suggest it to your metalhead friends and as always let people know about the Daily Beats!
Thanks again for all your support. With this post up we'll soon hit 350 views, which is incredible if you think about it. I had just intended for this page to be a one man show page that maybe a couple people followed, but it has grown to much more than that. Now we're getting shout outs from bands, we have people wanting to write for us and suggesting music. Its far better than I could've imagined. We started a facebook page yesterday, so head on over there if you want updates about postings or to contact us regarding posts or suggestions. Also because I'm in a terrible but thankful mood, I have a little bonus for you guys. If you are a fan of pokemon, or dubstep, or anything I posted today, give these two links a try.
