Solkrieg - Lavender Town: Dream Eater Mix

Although I am not a fan of Pokémon, this dubstep remix of Lavender Town is just absolutely fantastic. It offers more classic instruments than most forms of dubstep, which sound very good together. The wubs are very heavy, but they are mastered very nicely. The overall quality of the piece is astounding, and definitely worth a listen.

The piece opens up with plucks of an instrument that reminds me of one of those creepy music boxes and you can also hear quiet vocals in the background. You can start to hear the violin phase in, and then, the percussion kicks in with a nice, steady but exciting, beat. The violin is now very distinguished and audible, and definitely adds to the tone of the piece itself. And then... the drop. A combination of classical instruments as well as synthesizers make this part of the piece absolutely wonderful. The percussion is also amazing here as it really adds to the excitement of the drop. However, this is only the first drop. The second drop comes in with some very heavy sounding wubs that will have you on the edge of your seat. While all this is going on, it still fits in with the main Lavender Town melody. Later, we hear more distinct violin playing and another drop. Eventually, however, the highlight of the piece comes to a closure with the familiar music box instrument heard in the beginning of the song.

Solkrieg only has 87 followers on Soundcloud and he deserves more. You can find a variety of video game remixes on both his Soundcloud and Newgrounds accounts. Go check him out and leave some feedback!

Dj-Jo - Galactic Idiots

Although Dj-Jo has over 2,000 subscribers on YouTube, he is very underrated on SoundCloud, with only 57 followers. His song, Galactic Idiots, really is a masterpiece.

The piece begins with some an amazing beat, where the hi-hats and cymbals really come out. It continues with some chords that arouse suspicion, and then... the drop. The wubs are really nice sounding, and the mastering is just brilliant. We hear more of what we hear in the beginning of the piece now, but more layered. This part of the piece almost reminds me of the music you'd hear in Plants Vs. Zombies. Then, another drop, and more dubstep. Again, the wubs sound fantastic, very clean and heavy. Finally, the piece ends with the melody we had heard in the beginning of the piece.

This piece is very well done and upbeat. It gives you feelings of curiosity and suspense, and the wubs sound great. Dj-Jo also has many other great songs up on his YouTube and Soundcloud, including remixes of Zelda songs. Go check out Dj-Jo and give him a listen!

Roswell - Icebear, The Coneblower

Roswell are two sixteen year old Canadian producers... Who are totally killing it right now! Their track "Icebear, The coneblower" which Features an amazingly atmospheric build and amazingly tasty synths that bounce off each other really nicely... And, well... in one word the drop is amazing... Employing amazing bass sound design to the drop, by including amazingly beefy sounds while still keeping it melodic and dance able at a funky 110. I truly believe Roswell are going places!
