Caspa brings the bass on Dubstep Sessions 2012
Looking for a serious kick in the bass? Maybe some music to piss off your neighbors in Apartment 3c? (The ones' with that obnoxious dog that barks in the middle of the night,) Then look no further then Caspa's release of Dubstep Sessions 2012 - a collection of the hardest hitting tracks of 2012. From the moment you press play the bass is absolutely relentless, growling and groaning through some of the biggest dubstep tracks of 2012 from 12th Planet, Sub Focus, Skrillex, Trolley Snatcha, Nero, Noisia and more. Don't miss "War," Caspa's collaboration with The Prodigy's Keith Flint or the screaming remix of Buraka Som Sisterna's "Hangover." For any bass heads in our audience, this one is a must grab.
Where My Head’s At: Skrillex’s mothership lays waste to the mainstage at Electric Zoo 2012
Back in 2010, a then unknown in dance music, Screemo rockstar, Sonny Moore, released a 5 track EP under the moniker Skrillex. Then he gave it away for free to the world, sparking a sonic revolution creating a rift in the EDM landscape. There was no corporate entity behind him, just a kid on his laptop making music that he liked, experimenting with new sounds -- creating a new genre, by himself, alone in his bedroom. I don't remember how I found Skrillex's first EP, it was likely on one of the countless electro blogs that have come and gone since then, but from the moment I pressed play on "My Name is Skrillex" I knew that what I was hearing wasn't going to go away. It was too robust and too unique to not explode into the forefront of the next generation of electronic dance music.
