Nero - Promises (Skrillex & Nero Remix)

This original to this song, Promises, was a cleverly constructed dubstep/drum&bass collaboration with Nero and Subfocus. It hit hard with dubby womps, but moved along with quick dnb pace. The catchy and dramatic vocals combined together with the beat to make an incredible song.

Then,  a remix was released this week by Nero and the almighty Skrillex. It is UNREAL. Of course, the intensity of the song has been increased exponentially. It goes from moments where the vocals sing out acoustically with subtle piano notes in the background, and then it slowly builds until heavy face-melting bass drops. This is an epic remix, perhaps even the dubstep anthem of the summer.

Pretty Lights Does DUBSTEP

Yes sir, Pretty Lights does dubstep in a big way with this new song, I Know The Truth. To accompany is an amazingly sick video of their Bonnaroo performance. AMAZING STUFF. I wish I was there!

Butch Clancy - Pumped Up Kicks Remix

Butch Clancy has a knack for turning amazing indie songs into even more amazing dubstep remixes. His remix of Band of Horses - The Funeral was probably one of my favorite remixes ever. He just released a pretty incredible remix of Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks. I love the original to this song -- its incredibly catchy and I never thought it would be remixable, but Butch Clancy made it happen:
