Infected Mushroom – Friends on Mushrooms Vol. 1 EP
Israeli psytrance phenoms, Infected Mushroom are back this week with Friends On Mushrooms Vol. 1, a four track EP released through Dim Mak. Though their sound has evolved from hardcore to psytrance to dubstep and hit several genres in between, Duvdev and Erez prove they’re still fully capable of infecting fans with this latest release. The duo teamed up with Hope 6 on opening track “Where Do I Belong,” a dubby reggae tune sounding nothing like moombahton but somehow more relevant. “Bass Nipple” hits next and sounds exactly like what you’d expect from an electro house Infected track; grimy, melodic, and mind-melting. Their collaboration with Astrix, “Astrix on Mushrooms,” is as close to classic psy-trance as the evolved band is likely to get and “Mambacore” channels the beloved glitch-hop elements of Army of Mushrooms into a charmingly psychedelic trip through hi hats snares and off tempo kicks.

Steve Aoki – It’s The End Of The World As We Know It EP
2012 has been a huge year for Steve Aoki. After his debut album, Wonderland, he quickly followed up with Wonderland: Remixed and is back before the year ends with, It's the End of the World as We Know It EP. The three track EP is a nice reminder that Aoki is still in the production game game, and can not only crowd raft, cake people, and spray champagne, but also produce music.
Proxy – Audio 15 (Marseille Remix) [Free Download]
The latest addition to the Dim Mak squad, Russian techno producer Proxy, receives the remix treatment from Marseille on his break-out track "Audio 15." Released for free, the remix starts out much the same way that the original does -- with the ominous ticking of a grandfather clock -- before substituting the original's deep industrial roots with an electro-house influenced rhythm section. Dark and brooding, with a synth signature that is eerily reminiscent of the sounds we've heard coming from the French techno of Brodinski and Gesaffeltstein, Marseille's remix manages to influence the track while leaving it easily recognizable. In doing so he creates a remix that augments the original instead of severely altering it.
