12th Planet, Skrillex & Kill The Noise - "Burst" ft. GMCFOSHO - SOTD - [2/24/15]

To me this still remains one of the most hype tracks in recent electronic history. Having 12th Planet team up with Skrillex and Kill The Noise makes for a intense collaboration. The three have each become headliners, and now all three are founders of different record labels. Skrillex may be the most notable having created an empire out of his brand OWSLA, with a ton of talent all over the electronic spectrum. 12th Planet has his label SMOG Records kickin out the funky fresh beats too. Kill The Noise now too is a record label executive with Slow Roast Records along with partner DJ Craze. The final piece of the puzzle is GMCFOSHO who provides that "Burst" and the swag, completing the epic production for this hugely popular track.

The Widdler - "Spacetime" EP

The Widdler, a bass fiending producer out of Austin, Texas, is making his presence known with his most recent release. The Spacetime EP, out on OWSLA, "hosts an impressively diverse range of sound from the innovative producer, with extraterrestrial Drum N Bass found in the opening tune “Satúk” leading into the menacing snarls of Drumstep in “Odyssey” before finally wrapping up with a heady, galactic downtempo vibe in “Breathe.” Usually with eclectic EPs like Spacetime, it’s easy to pick out the artist’s strong suit genre-wise, but The Widdler really displays his knowledge of Bass music in all forms with this one."
