Solidly progressive house out on LessThan3, “Time” will work just as well in a pair of headphones as it would from a summer festival stage. Big and refreshing chord changes are the true hook here and follow a really great progression.

Australian brothers Reecey Boi and Naylo recently teamed up with Ron E Jones for “If They Could See Us Now.” Fortunately for listeners, the Bass Kleph remix is as big and loud as any speakers can hope to handle.

Cheeky or not, Drop The Chese’s “Kids Like Cheese” is a gritty electro house bumper that’s easy to like, and with good reason. A variety of quick vocal samples interspersed with big the sampled leads and chants of “We want cheese!” has good listener appeal. The addition of 8-bits balance out a fantastic bassline and give it great momentum.

SpekrFreks are back with what they do best, dirty dubstep with vicious bass. The juxtaposition of the vocal to the massive complextro drops in “Atoms” convey an expansive emotional range. The use of the atmospherics perfectly compliment the dub swing element for a solid, good listen.

Orkestrated – Daft Skunk (Original Mix) [Pop Rox Muzik]
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Out on Pop Rox Musik, Orkestrated – Daft Skunk has a hot lead coupled with a commanding bassline, aggressive large builds and a less-is-more approach when it comes to the drop. With a really great intro and outro sitting on a solidly built foundation, this track should incorporate easily into DJ sets.

The Fish House – Stripped (Original Mix) [Big Fish Recordings]
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
What starts out as a typical electro house banger is anything but that ordinarily defined, routine sound. The Fish House’s “Stripped” is an attention grabber with a perfectly precise synth stab contribution toward a ton of energy for the mix. Fantastically built breakdowns and creepy vocal samples make this a huge winner.

Kaosa – Bring It (Original Mix) [Cash Gold Records]

When we heard that Cash Gold Records would be working on new projects, we expected big things. With a new EP in the lineup, Kaosa’s “Bring It” delivers big sounds and solid production for the dubstep/drumstep genres. Heavy growls compete with fast paced percussion and some sitar style plucks, which make for an all around fantastic track.
