The Wonky World of Lone's Galaxy Garden

Genre: Electronic/ Wonky
Lone is out with a new LP called "Galaxy Garden". This artist very interesting to listen to as he brings so many incredible sounds on his album. I am particularly impressed with the drum pattern that is displayed on each of the tracks. Though some maybe repetitive the are enjoyable and easy to dance to. Not only that but it is also an album that you can sit down and relax to.
What I enjoyed the most about the album was the wonky bass throughout the album. It was so enjoyable to listen to it. I could not stop dancing to it. Simply magnificent stuff from Lone I must say.
The tracks that I loved on this album were "Now Colour", "Crystal Cavern 1991", "Lying in Reeds" and "Raindance. There were appearances from Machinedrum and Anneka on the album.
In conclusion I say that this was a very enjoyable album to relax, dance and listen to. Some really good stuff here!

Megashii

Genre: Chiptune
Newcomer Megashii has release a new EP which is entitled "Megashii". It is a chiptune EP which has some similarity with she. The only draw back I find with this EP is that it is very short indeed. But from what I have heard I hope to hear more from him from the future. I really enjoyed "NFSW".

  1. She Speaks

Vitamin D by Datsik

Genre: Dubstep
This week Datsik released his new album called "Vitamin D" on Last Gang Records. The album is full of robotic tunes with filthy bass lines and the occasional hip hop voice sample here and there. The album is very loud indeed and makes a lot of noise. I can say this is not for the faint hearten as many non-dubstep fans would find it irritating and dirty. I felt the album actually sounded very similar to what so many other dubstep artist are releasing. So I actually did not see a great deal of uniqueness as I hoped.
There were some tracks that I found were really good. like "Bonafide Hustler" "Napalm and "Fully Brown.
In conclusion, I would say it is okay. That is all.

Vava Voom by Bassnectar

Genre: Dubstep/Breakcore
So another album by Bassnectar called "Vava Voom". I have to say this album is one of the most complete dubstep album I have heard in a long time. It was funny, cool and eventful. Something to behold for sure from Bassnectar. The style that Bassnectar displayed in this album was very vast with, rap, ragga and a bit of dreamy in it which I found kind of cute in the track "Laughter Crescendo ( 2012 version). It also had haunting vocals which was provided by Mimi Page on "Butterfly". Also the album also features Chicago MC Lupe Fiasco on "Vava Voom", which caught me by surprise. The ragga influenced track "What" with Jantsen was good. This is so far the most complete and most solid dubstep album out so far. It did not have too much of that rough bass that we been bombarded with for weeks. Anyone that buys this album will not be disappointed.

01. Vava Voom (Feat. Lupe Fiasco) (03:49)

Immune to Gravity EP by J Rabbit

Genre: Dubstep
The Rabbit of dubstep has released another EP called "Immune to Gravity". Apparently he thinks he will rise to the top and never come down. I doubt that he is immune to gravity anyway after listening to this EP.
The EP was full of twisted rugged basslines which I am finding far too common in dubstep these days. But there were some tracks that I liked however on this EP. Like "Immune to Gravity" but at times it sounded like some machines being tormented.
So conclusion is that this EP was okay. That is it.
Rate: C

Tracklist:
01 – Bad Larry (Original Mix)
02 – Immune to Gravity (Original Mix)
03 – Just Sayin (Original Mix)
04 – Robot Mafia Showdown (Original)

Riot! EP by Cookie Monsta

Genre: Dubstep
Cookie Monsta not the one from The Muppets has released his latest EP called "Riot!". One thing I can say about this EP is that it is filled with noise, filthy bass and a lot of loudness. Not surprised since the EP name sake. I did not have a hard time listening to it though. But if I was in a bad mood and I listened to this album would throw the CD out of the room. If on the other hand I want to disturb the whole community, then this EP id the perfect.
I can say this EP should only be played in raves, house parties and in clubs. Not an album you can sit down and listen to in the comfort of your home, because this EP provides no comfort whatsoever.
"Riot!" is a good filthstep EP if it is what you like to listen to. If you are not a fan of filthstep, then do not even attempt to buy this EP. You might regret it.
Rate; C

Tracklist:
01 – Riot!
02 – Level Up
03 – Time to Get Crunk
04 – HedRokkA

Fire Inside by Gemini

Genre: Dubstep
So yesterday another EP from Gemini was released. This one titled "Fire Inside". It was good to hear Gemini again. This 4 track EP was short but very solid indeed. It was equally good as Graduation EP but just below the Blue EP. The track I enjoyed the most on this EP was "Now Way Out". One of his best tracks so far to me.
I recommend this EP. It is good old fashion dubstep which Gemini brings.
Rate: A
Tracklist:
01 – Fire Inside (feat. Greta Svabo Bech)
02 – No Way Out
03 – To the World
04 – Nothingness
