Rusko- Mr. Chips-Hammertime

Genre: Classic Dubstep

This is my first Genre Collection post on MyShuffle.  As part of my effort to bring you the best of best from the EDM world, I will periodically throw up a selection of one of the many carefully cataloged genres of my library.

First up is a dubstep collection that’s a little different than most dubstep that comes out these days.  Back in 2007 when dubstep was just starting to lay a foundation as a mainstream EDM genre, it had a chilled progressive deep bass sound to it (see Rusko & Caspa’s 2007 FabricLive.37); almost a monotonous tide of womps and wobbles.

Today’s dubstep is much more dynamic, which has made it the popular music genre the electronic world has come to know.  This collection has that more modern spin on the classic dubstep sound, hold the Skrillex electro grinds and brostep whining beats.  I included a decent variety of artists in this short collection as well as songs ranging from back in the day to put out this year.  This handful pays homage to the inaugural days of dubstep and will whet the ears of any of today’s dubstep fans.  Enjoy:

Artist Spotlight: Adventure Club

These guys got their start with production just last year and their stable of jams has become quite impressive.  They have a calm style to their dubstep, almost peaceful in spite of their uber-wobbly basslines.  Their favorite songs to remix are indie, which adds to their unique, addictive style.  I love dropping in one of their songs to transition out of some hip-hop when I’m spinning.  They’ve been blowing up Hype Machine and just set off on tour.  These guys are another one to watch and impress me with each new song they’re turning out almost every other week.  MyShuffle approved, here are my favorites:

Bonus: A couple jams in the same vein as AC’s dubstep sound…

First thing’s first.

Hi, I’m Brooks Golden.  I love electronic music and MyShuffle is my music blog.

As an avid fan of EDM (i.e., Electronic Dance Music which encompasses House and it’s variations such as Electro House, Club House, Disco House, etc.; Techno; Trance; Synthpop; and newcomers Dubstep and Moombahton), I’ve watch its growth since I was young.  I remember loving Daft Punk’s single “Around The World” when it was on Chicago’s B96 radio station after it came out in 1997, and even 80’s attempts at electronic music like the synthpop group Yazoo, who’s greatest hits cassette my parents bought for me when I fell for their 1982 single “Situation”.  I frequently listened to eurodance albums like “Europop” by Eiffel 65 and “The Party Album” by the Vengaboys, and in highschool I even tracked down the student who submitted the trance house collection they occasionally played between passing periods for a copy.  Now, having amassed an extensive electronic music collection of my own from the past two decades, I have decided to share my hand-picked songs with the world wide web.

If you are just getting into the recent EDM fad, the plethora of online music apps and file hosting sites that let you download any song for free has made the discovery of new electronic music easier than ever.  I recommend Hype Machine and Spotify for those just trying to get into the genre or music in general… and MyShuffle, of course.

This first collection is a starter pack, a taste test of EDM, and more than enough to get your own collection started.  I originally compiled this selection to fit on a CD data disc (700 MB) for some friends visting from Australia as they toured the States.  I received a great review from them and have given the collection to a number of others who know I listen to a lot of electronic music.  This collection was made May 25, 2011 and features the best of my stuff for those just getting into the PEW PEW PEW, BUUUUM BEWWOWWMP & DA NA NA NA NA NA!!
