Fedde Le Grand has been producing since the turn of the century, exploding on the scene in 2006 with his ground shaking release of “Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit”. Ever since, Fedde has been teeter tottering on the “commercial” side of house but his new masterpiece assures us he’s sticking to his roots. Just released yesterday, “Autosave” is about as fresh as cinnamon sugar Febreeze.

Redial, a heavy electro group from Australia, began a competition; challenging DJs and producers from all over the world to remix their electrotrash, ‘Venom’. Many stepped up to the plate, including Drivepilot; however, One Man Ben has the key to my electro loving heart.

Every once and a while I’ll scope some of my ancient iTunes playlists and unearth some long lost buried treasures. This morning I haphazardly found myself browsing an inconspicuous folder labeled ‘elton’; I stumbled upon something EXTRA special!

Immeasurable contributions to the music world, an inspiration to many and, one of the greatest DJs of all time, DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) was a true pioneer. Adam had this incredible ability to mix the unmixable; he would fuse hip-hop, electro, breaks, 80’s, funk… DJ AM took any and every possible genre and could blend them in a whirl of ear pleasing goodness. I had the extraordinary opportunity to witness DJ AM and Travis Barker lay down the most eye popping, panty dropping, face rocking set at Coachella 09’, without a doubt, the greatest hour of my life (you can snag the set here). The man, the legend… you’d think he had it all. Unfortunately, despite his massive success, Adam was unable to drop a nasty drug habit. August 28^th 2009, a date that will never be forgotten.

On a bit of a happier note, here’s a five-part set DJ AM threw down for Elton John’s 60th birthday bash (6 hours of auditory satisfaction). The set’s tone is on the mellow side, perfect for those early morning cram sesh’s or those late night Del Taco runs.

San Francisco is a breading ground for fresh sounds and new styles; however, many artists venture and only a few thrive. The water beneath the golden gate is freezing. Helicopter Showdown not only has an awesome name to boot, but the w0mp to support their claim. Four of SF’s finest, Blake Powers, Joshua Small, Devan Day and Ryan Wade joined forces to create some seriously filthy dub. Helicopter Showdown is so dirty that when my mom came in the room I quickly switched to porn.

Since 2007, he’s been regularly spinning at Pacha London, Space Ibiza and Ministry of Sound; Hook N Sling has been building up a solid rep and a respectable following. Just recently, Sydney-born DJ and producer Hook N Sling (aka Anthony Maniscalco) remixed Hard Rock Sofa’s banger ‘Blow Up’. In my opinion, this is his best work to date, a true magnum opus. Blow Up has that traditional Hook N Sling flavor but a soft, yet clearly evident Swedish feel.

You may remember the taste of Drivepilot i gave you last month. Having a little trouble with that #2? Drivepilot offers enough w0mp to wiggle out a challah sized log.

22 year old Rob Goden has a special gift, somehow he can transform simple gameboy sound effects into filthy heart wrenching dubstep; it’s like Mario on crack. In one of his newest creations, Rob takes on one of my favorite 80’s classics and gives it that dub treatment, Cutting Crew’s ‘Died In Your Arms’. I’m not sure where Rob got his name, Monster! Monster!, but I like it.

Skrillex has been the hottest thing to hit the electronic scene since Darude’s Sandstorm. He got his hands on Benny Benassi’s ‘Cinema’ and flopped it upside down in a batter of filth before sprinkling it with his infamous chest cavity shaking w0mp. Apparently, Skrillex can do no wrong.

Double-decker buses, pubs, roundabouts and now w0mp? Roksonix, a dubstep duo out of London, explores the wobbly sounds of the past present and future. Besides witnessing DJ Saddam drop fat beats, nothing puts a smile on my face faster than Roksonix’s rendition of Sergeant Smash.
