I don't often post Drum & bass tunes but when I do, I post massive ones! These two tunes are definitely two of my favourite tune from this genre right now and if you take a minute to listen to those two, you'll understand why. First, High Contrast. Any Drum & Bass head already know him pretty well. He is actually touring with none other then Netsky right now and man I can't wait for this tour to stop by Montreal. Second is a new tune from Cyantific and it is freaking amazing. No wonder both of these tunes are in Beatport Drum & Bass top 10. Of course make sure you support the artists.
I usually like my Drum And Bass melodic, intense like Netsky, Sigma, Camo & Krooked but today I discovered an amazing American Drum And Bass producer called "Flawed Logic". His Drum And Bass is a bit more ambient (some tracks) but wow this is quality stuff! He even goes dubstep on "Icey'! Big soul influence, great piano melodies, what more do you need! Oh and the whole EP is free btw :) I think my favorite track is "Celestial Acoustics"...show him some love on facebook
Huge remix of Rusko's first single for his upcoming album by non other than one of my favorite Drum And Bass producers "Sigma"! His remix is by far superior to the original but I guess if you are into dubstep and not drum and bass you might disagree with me. If you enjoy the music please take a second to like us on facebook and twitter to receive updates daily and show Sigma some love on his beatport page!
This just got played as a world exclusive on Annie Mac’s daytime takeover show on BBC Radio 1. It’s the new single which is out February 13th and taken from the new album of the same name “The Agony And The Ecstasy”. Please check it out and give me your thoughts about it. Personnaly I think it's massive, I'm a huge High Contrast fan! Can't wait to get my hands on this little gem. Meanwhile if, like me, you can't wait to drop this on your ipod, you can download my edit of the youtube version available now....only on Electrokill.info!
I bring to you my top tracks of last year, and it covers a wide spectrum of sounds and genres under the EDM umbrella. Elecktrokill all day! Give me your feed back in the comments and let me know what you agree with and disagree with.
10. TC – Tap Ho
I am not usually too big on drum and bass, I don’t know what it is, but it’s just not my thing typically. However this song is straight murder from the second it begins. TAP TAP TAP TAP HO…dunna dunna. It constantly gets stuck in my head and I don’t mind that one bit.
9. SBTRKT – Wildfire
What’s not to like about this song? It’s one of those odd songs that could either get you amped up a bit at a show, or is good in a chill setting. The production is stellar and although the rest of SBTRKT’s debut cd was great, this song is still the best track on there, hands down.
8. Dillon Francis – I.D.G.A.F.O.S.
Dillon Francis takes Skrillex’s melodies and one ups them. Have you ever heard anything so catchy? The drop is beautifully hectic; this is a great introductory track to get someone into the moombahton tempo and would work well in most any dj’s set.
7. Example – Midnight Run (Flux Pavilion Remix)
My oh my how big of a year have Flux Pavilion and his partner in crime Doctor P have had! I caught them both twice this year and was impressed with their sets both times. There were plenty of tracks I could have picked by them this year, but I just loved Example’s vocals in this song and how Flux played with them.
6. Silver Medalion – All I Ask (Codes Remix)
This is my jam. This song is instant happiness for me. Everything about it is spot on. I love the dubstep like buildup into the final drop, and there is just a great overall progression as the song plays out.
5. Deadmau5 – Aural Psynapse (Myndset Remix)
We all know Joel is a douche, but would you have him any other way. Even though he is a jerk to many, it’s quite clear just by visiting his facebook that he loves his fans, and that’s all that really matters. This track has everything you could want in a remix. It does justice to the original while adding great elements that really makes it a stand out track. It has a bit of “old school rave” feeling to it also which is nice.
4. Rusko – Everyday (Netsky Remix)
Rusko hasn’t released much this year, though a new cd will be coming out by the crazy man soon. If someone asked me to recommend one dubstep dj to go see live for a newcomer I would pick him easily. His energy on stage is just wild and his song selection is always great. Netsky destroyed this remix, it’s an absolute banger.
3. Feed Me – Pink Lady
I think Feed Me is my favorite new artist of the year. Here’s a fact not to many people know, he used to (or may one day again) produce drum and bass under the name Spor. This song is so awesome I don’t even know where to begin. The sounds are all so awesome, and that intro, has there been a better intro on any song all year? I am dying to see the man live again with his new stage setup, he plays the perfect mix of dubstep and electro house and his music selection is in perfect harmony with my own musical taste.
2. Zed’s Dead – 1975
The truth of the matter is I had the hardest time picking which Zed’s Dead song I wanted to put on this list. Every single song they have released this year has been perfect. In my eyes they can do no harm, and their brothers in battle: The Killabits are doing well too. I picked this song because I figured maybe not everyone caught it when it came out, and the vocals are a great clash with the dirty drop. Their sound is just so unique! I can’t wait to see what they do in 2012.
1. Steve Aoki and Afrojack – No Beef
Yup I said it; this is my number one song of the year. Steve Aoki has a lot of haters; he is kind of like the Skrillex of electro, except the dude doesn’t just make electro! When you see him live it feels like a party. Well it is a party! The man has really stepped up his production game this year along with Afrojack too. The vocals are top notch, and I just have three more words…EFFED UP CAMEL!
I didn't post Drumstep in a looooong time, and what a better come back to the genre than with Figure's latest monster track! This track is packed with energy, a perfect combination of Drum And Bass and Dubstep. I think it will easily please both camps ^^
Austrian duo Reinhard Rietsch and Markus Wagner, otherwise known as Camo & Krooked have quickly become one of the hottest production outfits in Europe. Working together since 2007 they were soon being hailed as “one of the biggest talents in Drum n Bass” by the mighty Grooverider. The Viennese pair have created a whirl of dancefloor anthems in recent times. On Hospital Records they have released soulful tracks like massive hit single ‘Turn Up The Music’ to the raw power of smashers like “Climax”. They have also been in demand on a remix tip; their remix of John B’s ‘Numbers’ is a good example that they can always be relied upon to hit the right buttons. So the first track I'm sharing with you today was released on the last compilation by Hospital records «Fifteen Years Of Hospital Records» which includes massive D&B tracks. Second one is a remix of «Cross the line» by none other then Metrik. I sure hope you guys will enjoy those two amazing tracks and of course if you do, you know what to do.
Now this one needs no introduction !! New Skream track remixed by none other then Netsky. I got that sick track on the «Anticipate EP» which I strongly recommend ! Of course you know the drill so if you like it, click it (the links of course)

Drum N Bass all-stars Blu Mar Ten have finally graced us with their long awaited second full-length album, Love Is The Devil. I can very rarely say that I enjoy every single song on an album (in fact I don't think I ever have), but I think this one may be the exception. This masterful release features a wide array of relaxed vibes, ranging from liquid DnB to Glitch and half-time DnB tracks. The sampling is simply mind-blowing and the incredible melodies create an aurally orgasmic soundscape. Listening to it the first time through, I found myself eagerly waiting for some of the half-time beats to kick into high-gear with a heavy snare or an amen break, but re-listening to it, I was able to fully appreciate the complexity of the productions for what they were: incredible, timeless pieces of art. The tracks vary in mood and vibe, but they are all individually awesome. There are a bunch of featurings on the LP, both producers and vocalists. This album is a definite must-have for any bass music lover.
After much deliberation, I couldn't select only one track to share with you, in fact I had trouble limiting myself to two. I urge everyone to listen to the rest of the tracks, as there is truly something there for everyone. You can hear samples of all 18 tracks on Blu Mar Ten's Soundcloud.
I could go on about these tracks and the album for days, but I will let the music speak for itself. Please share this with anyone you know who loves Drum N Bass, especially the old school heads. If you like what you hear, show Blu Mar Ten some love on Facebook or Soundcloud, and don't be shy about copping the album directly from their website's shop (cheaper and many options) or from Beatport.
Here's our Haloween gift from Curl Up, a DnB/Drumstep/Death Metal track perfect for your haloween parties :D This is some heavy shit right here, you've been warned! Sorry if I'm like 2 days late ...sorry ;)
