I have to be totally honest with errbody. It’s not often that I find remixes that I like. I almost literally rip my hair out when I hear one – in fact, my roommate has often scolded me for yelling at my speakers – “THOSE LYRICS DON’T GO THERE. THEY DON’T EVEN FIT.”
But I couldn’t resist enjoying this one. It’s probably just because Passion Pit’s the shit, but still […]

Dubstep remixes were dominated by b.e.a.utiful vocals this year…. Or maybe it’s just I’m obsessed with these beauts mixed with dirty, dirtay dubstep. Either way, this style has ruled SNG for the last half of the year and hope it rules for many months into next.

Don’t mind me, I’m just trying to wrack up the vivacious vocals // dirty dubstep combos for year end’s top lists (hint, hint). In this installment, we get Florence’s gazing vocals chopped & slopped by Mr. Wonk. No overstated drops, just beautiful bass buzzin throughout. And great vocals distortion to boot.

Now I’ve seen everything… or heard it. It’s not easy to surprise me, especially with music, but Skrillex has shocked the hell out of me with this. “Breathe” is no ‘brostepper,’ it’s a melodic dubstep track that’s nothing but relaxation. Only thing I’m not sure of are the vocals, reminds me of Owl City. However, major props to Skrillex for trying something different (all musicians should). Wondering what his fans think, though…
We’ve got more bass in yo face with Cleindl’s dubstep remix of “The Longest Road,” featuring the ever lovely Lissie. That wobble gives me goosebumps every time I feel it, but it might need a little clean me up from what I can tell right now. Although, I may just grow into those dirty wobbles, I’ll have to give it a while, but I’ll get back to y’all for sure (or probably won’t).

It took me way too long to get this out, but I’m so glad to introduce you all to this ex-Glitch Mobb-er, Kraddy, if you haven’t heard him yet. He does a job at combing the glories of glitch with those bass driven hip-hop instrumentals.
Anthems of the Hero has just under a dozen fiendish tracks with melodies that’ll straight up hook ya. By far my favorite is his collab with Erica Dee in “Forbidden.” I’m actually doing a post right now on how more SoundClouders need to start collaborating, instead of sampling, and this is just about as perfect of an example as you can get. The two were made for each other (to do this song).

These buzzed out bass remixes are taking over the airwaves here on SNG and goddamn do I love it.
Next up is the tantalizing Bjork in her “Venus as a Boy,” remixed by Parker. Can’t believe I never got all that into her, I guess it took these hypnotic dubstep beats for me to fall in loove. And damn am I in loove.

I don’t care what you say, Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger” is one catchy little tune. But even catchier is Basic Physics mashup of “Moves Like Jagger” with a Guetta beat. However, I’ve been waiting too long for a dubstep remix and now it’s finally here.
Aaron Bond’s dubstep remix starts out with a pleasant dubstep starter package. However, when the bass drops it feels stale and lacks any organic elements. I get the whole industrial (non-organic) dubstep, but this lacks any filth to give it that. Once again it seems like the drop is the deciding factor in dubstep and Bond comes up just short – though, I can be a bit of a prude at times :p

Inspired by our Dubstep Remixes of Rock Classics, this time around we’re taking our favorite 80’s & 90’s video games and coiling the shit out of ’em with style. It originally started out as just general remixes of video game themes, but after compiling the majority of them, it turned out to be mainly dubstep. Unfortunately, that led to a few good remixes getting cut for now, most notably a favorite hip-hop Mario mashup of mine.
I tried my darndest to get the most memorable classics – such as Zelda, Sonic, Mario and a few other noteworthy – but couldn’t manage to find quality ones for a few. There are just so many damn dubstep remixes out there and most of ’em are complete shit – it’s one of the fastest emerging genres, so there’s bound to be a lot of people hoppin’ on the bandwagon. However, I did manage to come up with 8 solid remixes, so help us come up with the rest and I’ll make sure to give up some cool prizes!! First off, “Hip-Hop Remixes of Video Game Classics”.

Coyote Kisses is back at it with an ode to Bach. “Conscious Pilot” screams electro, chompin up and spitting out some classic Johann Sebastian. This is the first of four tracks to be released “soon,” and damn am I just glad to hear from these two. It’s been too long *tear*.
