Genre: Dubstep
Well this is interesting, there is an EP from Planet Terror called "The Planet Terror EP". This new EP from Planet Terror dubstep is short. Shorter than 15mins. In fact all the tracks ( 4 to be exact) do not even pass the 3min mark. It seems whoever Planet Terror are, their EP contained a lot of samples from The movie "Planet Terror". I think that is where they got the name from. I enjoyed it for 10mins which was almost the length whole EP. Afterwards I got bored.
Conclusion, a fast EP. Just like a fart. Now let me listen to some Arnej and The Chemical Brothers

Introducing Loqiemean's "The First Man's Lie"
Genre: Dubstep
Loqiemean is a Russian dubstep act. I know very little about them or him but still would like to hear what kind of dubstep music Loqiemean makes. So a jumped on the chance on listening to his 10 track EP that was released during the weekend.
The First Man's Lie has a lot of sampled music in it which I find extremely interesting to listen to. A lot of these samples were hip-hop oriented, the others I presume would be soul music. There were a lot of glitch music and and a lot of brostep and techstep in the EP which were beautifully organised. One thing I found interesting was that the music did not go too over-board like Skrillex sometimes do. That's not to say that I dislike Skrillex's music, I found it annoying if other dubstep artist keep copying his style to much. Loqiemean however made his dubstep sound more hip hop and B-boy style. The track "Scurple" I enjoyed to the Russian sampling in the beginning of the track.
The track that I loved the most were "I Don't Wanna Be" "Scurple" "Texas Erection" "Immortal". "Dexter Morgan" to me was also awesome.
To conclude I would say that Loqiemean are clearly welcome to the dubstep scene.
Rate: B
Tracklist:
01 – Swag It
02 – Dexter Morgan
03 – Dead Line
04 – Drama feat. Serj Tankian(Loqiemean remix) [BitterSweet]
05 – I Don’t Wanna Be
06 – Immortal (The Shadow Out)
07 – Texas Erection
08 – The First Man’s Lie
09 – Neverland
10 – Scurple

Further Into the Aether by Satori
Genre: Goa Trance
"Further Into Aether" is a goa trance Lp by Satori. This is my first gao trance album I have gotten. Goa trance is a type of trance that is completely new to me, since I do not know much about this type of electronic music but it is always nice to see what this genre has to offer after all it still is trance.
When I listen to "Further Into Aether" it felt like I was travel in outer space, as there was a lot of cosmic sound in the tracks.The album was had fast and hard beats, sort of like a hard-trance but not as fast though. But most of the time it felt like listening to constellations come alive in my sound system. The song that I enjoyed the most was "What You Come Here For".
The only thing that disappointed me was the length of the album which was short to my liking. Wish it had been a bit longer.
Overall I would say it is a solid album ( Should have been an EP)
Rate: C+
Tracklist:
01 – Nod And Smile
02 – Experience
03 – Feel The Burn
04 – What You Come Here For
05 – Peace Of Mind

Six Cups of Rebel by Lindstrøm
Style: Electronic (Space Disco)
Hans-Peter Lindstrøm new album "Six Cups of Rebel" was released this week. I find the name very interesting and wonder why he choose that particular title. It is also the first time I actually have listened to a Space Disco album. So I jumped on it having previously listened to some tracks he did Prins Thomas.
Listening to the album was really cool and groovy. That space and science fiction them that floated around most of the tracks was amazing. His music has the really has the ability to make people feel like their in some inter galactic war was stunning. I also enjoyed the way some tracks progressed and crossover as time went by. It is really an interesting experience listening to the album. The only downer to this LP was that there were not more tracks to look forward to, as there were only 7. But he made for that with the length of each track.
My final word on this LP is that it is worth your money if you enjoy Space Disco and some Element of Deep House.
Rate: B
Tracklist:
01 – No Release
02 – De Javu
03 – Magik
04 – Quiet Place To Live
05 – Call Me anytime

Subwave-Subwave
Style: Drum n' Bass (Liquid Funk)
Subwave is the first Drum n' Bass album to grace the scene this year. Not only that but it is liquid funk, my favourite sub-genre when it comes to DnB. I love liquid, so I wondered how good the album would be? While I was listening I could see this was true to the liquid scene since it had all the hallmark of it, fast and heavy beats with soulful vocals and deep melodies. Subwave delivered just that. Some of their tracks had that deep house or lounge theme, examples were "Tonel" and "Green Water". I also enjoyed the sampling of Zulu vocals and Bantu in tracks "Aeeeh" and "Wheel of Time". One thing I found annoying was that some tracks were repetitive in nature. Actually could make me sleep.
The tracks that I really enjoyed listening to were "Senses", "Bring Me Down", "Rainbow(with Enei)" and "4th Illusion" as these tracks delivered the fast pace soul music I love so much.
In a nutshell I would say that Subwave is a decent album. A good album to start the year with though.

Tiesticle by NateCap
NateCap is a new Drum n' Bass/trash artist on the scene. He is so new that Last.fm don't have a bio on him at the moment. Even if that was the case, he released his EP this week called Tiesticle. An interesting name for an EP I might add. He some balls naming it that I might say.
His music is a variety of heavy breakdowns and high pitch tunes. It sort of reminds my of Satisfaction by Benni Bennassi. On his EP he remixed Shiny Toy Guns "Stripped", Lights "Toes" and Lana Del Rey's "Kinda Outta Luck". My favourite among the remixes were "Toes". From the tracks that he produced I liked Widdly Scuds and Ringback, cool punk tracks to me.
In short I can say that Tiesticle is okay.
Tracklist :
1. Shiny Toy Guns – Stripped (NateCap Remix)
2. Lights – Toes (NateCap’s Got The Hots For Lights Remix)
3. Kinda Outta Luck (NateCap Remix)
4. Cleaver
5. Visceral
6. Crack My
7. Largemouth
8. Carbine
9. Ringback
10. Widdly Scuds

Kill Kill Kill (EP) by Kill the Noise
Well this the first time I have actually heard of Kill the Noise aka Jake Stanczak, an Electro House artist. To me Kill the Noise is more dubstep than Electro House. If I am wrong then Electro House is sounding more and more like dubstep these days. "Kill Kill Kill" is an intersecting name for an EP I have to say, but since it is from Kill the Noise it should not be a surprise.
The music on "Kill Kill Kill" is really strange but interesting and loud, and it has really good tracks on them. The breakdowns and the bass tunes combinations are really cool and nice to listen to especially when it is loud. It is a bit similar to Skrillex but with a less wobbling sound in the background.
One the EP he had the likes of Ultraviolet and Emily Hudson on the track Dying. The likes of Brown & Gammon, Alvin Risk, KOAN and Dillon Francis provided remixes for some of his track. Some of the remixes were in fact pretty good, others average. My favorite remix was "Dying feat. Ultra Violet Sound & Emily Hudson (Brown & Gammon Remix)" a pretty good one. The track I liked the most was "Real Life (Original Mix)" really good.
I have to say that "Kill Kill Kill" is a good (EP). I hope they make a studio album soon.
Track List :
1. Kill The Noise (Part I)
2. Deal With It
3. Real Life?
4. She Likes To Party
5. Talk To Me
6. Dying feat. Ultra Violet Sound & Emily Hudson
7. Kill The Noise (Dillon Francis Remix)
8. Dying feat. Ultra Violet Sound & Emily Hudson (Brown & Gammon Remix)
9. Kill The Noise (Alvin Risk Remix)
10. Deal With It (KOAN Sound Remix)
