Sub Focus – Torus

October 2, 2013Deep House, Drum 'n' Bass, Dub House, Dubstep, House Sub Focus, Torus

Drum ‘n’ bass prodigy, Sub Focus, steps out of his comfort zone to deliver a glorious genre-spanning EDM album that clearly establishes his skills as a multi-faceted producer. His repertoire on this album ranges from dubstep, to catchy indie-house, to big room floor stompers. Douwma also dabbles with UK garage and funky basslines. Outstanding top lines and melodies add a more accessible dimension to the album, as Douwma enlists the services of leading vocalists such as Alpines, Foxes and Alex Claire. Before the legacy fans cry foul, I should mention that Douwma also serves up a healthy dose of his trademark drum ‘n’ bass on tracks like ‘Eclipse’, ‘Safe In Sound’ and ‘You Make It Better’. In fact, ‘Eclipse’, along with, of course, the previously released smash hit ‘Tidal Wave’, might just be the stand out track on this album. Overall, in an industry that is growing increasingly stale and commercial, ‘Torus’ is a breath of fresh air; a wonderful and enthralling journey that, in my opinion, firmly establishes Douwma as one of the best producers in the business today.

Cazzette – Weapon

February 16, 2013Dub House, Run To This Beam Me Up, Cazzette, Dub House, Surrender, Weapon

While I detest their management team for the tardy release dates, there is no denying Cazzette is beasting right now. ‘Weapon’ strays away from their signature dub-house sound, in favor of a more proggy sound. However, the talent and versatility of these young swedes is unparalleled. This is a masterful production, and the vocals are flawless as well.

Cazzette is going to be the first act we see at Ultra, and they usually open with this track. Let’s just say the festivities are going to kick off on a pretty sick note.Included below are the videos for three Cazzette tracks that everyone needs to check out. The aforementioned ‘Weapon’, a spanking new track ‘Surrender’, and the old stalwart ‘Beam Me Up’. These dudes are on FIRE right now.
