Free Download: Superginger – For Norway (original mix)

[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/19889431″]

Jakob Zetterberg, a.k.a. Superginger, is a dubstep/electro producer and DJ from Stockholm. He’s given away this track as a free DL in support of all those affected by the terrible tragedy that recently befell in Norway. In his own words:

I wanted to make a song for Norway after I heard about this catastrophy. I wrote the piano melody in purpose for a deep/chilled dubstep song, but after experimenting with some sounds I decided to make it this way. If you think this is inappropriate, it’s fine – but I did this just to show how much I care. No harm intended.

Give it a listen!

Free Stream: Oopart – Chad Vader

Telmini is a new French producer working with the labels Play me (too), Middle Finger Music, and Velcro City. This is a pretty sweet remix, and a good first impression of this fresh artist.

This is a pretty wicked one that showed up on UKFDubstep this week. Heavy!

Here’s some stuff you should consider blowing money on…

New Album: Lifecycle – Cpt. Bassline EP

[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/19725358″]

Sick, filthy, grimy, dirty, four-track EP from MWM Recordings out of The Netherlands… The level of production on this track rivals the best in the business right now, I’m talking crispy-clean! Lifecycle puts down some innovative sound, so give it a fair shot and be on the lookout for more top-notch bass from Lifecycle in the future.
