Genre Fusion



Moving away from the heavy basslines and mind melting sounds, George Lenton has recently become a respected producer throughout the Dubstep game. Firstly, his unique remix of
Al Green's 'Simply Beautiful' has been my most played track this month. Lenton creates a patient background beat through the blend of a deep bassline with light drum hits. Soft synthesizers and light guitar plucks create a relaxed mood to compliment Al Green's filtered vocals. The result? Well, you can listen to the masterpiece yourself!

Lenton has released a more upbeat remix also. This time he has recreated the
Swizz Beatz' track 'Money in the Bank', turning it into something greater than the original. Beeps, buildups and offbeat basslines are used in conjunction with repetitive vocals and a steady drum beat (and cowbells!!) to create a strange mix of Electro and Glitch Hop.
Get both tracks here:
Simply Beautiful (George Lenton Remix) - Al Green
Money in the Bank (George Lenton Remix) - Swizz Beatz


James Blake
has recently killed it with Dubstep tracks that are unlike anything that I have heard lately. The following remix of 'Stop What You're Doing' has received vigorous listening through my headphones. The sounds that James Blake creates are used so perfectly together, creating a unique genre splitting remix.

PANTyRAiD provides something new altogether in a remix of the Freeland track called 'Do You'. Tripped out vocal cuts accompany phased synths, attack driven kicks and wobbled drops. The finished product shows ambience alongside a heavy bassline. Give this a listen!

Diplo
has reworked
Sia's track 'Clap Your Hands' into a Dubstep chillout. High pitched beeps are used to buildup the track into a light and simple drop, which has a sound reminiscent of the bassline in the Afrojack remix of 'Cool'.

Last, but certainly not least, is a Mount Kimbie Dubstep remix of the
Foals' latest hit 'Spanish Sahara'. Words cannot give an appropriate description of how pure this soft Dubstep remix is. Poetic verses create depressingly raw emotion, to control the listener's mood. The powerful vocals fill out the track in its entirety, covered by simple background clicks, beeps and atmospheric wind.

Enjoy. Pce!
