Well howdy there folks. Can’t rightly say I heard you fellas come in, shucks.

Welcome.

Today, we here at Rager Onions proudly present to you another release that’s fresh off the presses over at DUSTLA. And for the last god damn time, no. We are assuredly NOT talking about OWSLA. We heard the new Skrillex ok? We’re just trying to talk about something else here. So just drop it.

Moving on, D-U-S-T-L-A, who is definitely not owned by Sonny Moore, does indeed share a few common musical threads with its similarly monikered mega-label from LA. Besides offering listeners uncanny EDM jams with “massive drops and rough, fat basslines,” DUSTLA prides itself on how their repertoire of producers follow these intensely clamorous pieces of electronic psychosis.

Utilizing their superior production knowhow, the lineup over at DUSTLA, which includes artists like: Karetus, ak9, Spag Heddy, I.Y.F.F.E., Alex Mind and Shirobon, elegantly and almost effortlessly laces “melodic” and “innocent breakdowns” with other intensely complex, filthier sections to amalgamate a style truly unique to this up-and-coming label. Promising prospective listeners “fresh talent” and “unique new styles”, DUSLTA will keep that infectious, thunder-like euphony rolling out of your speakers with each and every release.

————————————————————————————————————————————

Recently, I was turned onto this next electronic dance musician, William Gonzalez, or Pyramyth, by a buddy of mine working over at the label (D to the USTLA). When I was informed that Mr. Gonzalez would be releasing a 4 track EP (which dropped about a week ago now) titled “Pharaoh” on DUSLTA, I was nothing short of ecstatic in anticipation. Then, after I actually got a chance to listen to this piece of art, it was all smiles for the rest of that day.

I mean fuck, I’m still smiling.

Employing a hefty portfolio of both modern and classic electronic techniques, Pyramyth applies his own brand of nostalgic, chip-tune influenced, glitch style to opening track, “The Pharaoh.” This has got to be our favorite of the quartet. From here, this Mexican producer delves into the more macabre side of the electric spectrum with “Gravity Gun”, an Electro House banger on par with any of the beats from the geniuses over at Knife Party, and “Taco Bass”, an enigmatically erratic yet melodic dubstep production.

Lastly, Pyramyth steps into a more unfamiliar territory in terms of production methods with his final song on the EP, “Miami Borderline Syndrome.” The result is a beautifully diverse, trap-resemblant jam with hints of complextro Nu Disco funk.

Check it out. Hell, while you’re at it, check them out!

Bone N Skin | On Fire (Spag Heddy RMX) [Welcome Psychosis]

by Jake Groch EDM, Heavy • Tags: bass music, Bone N Skin, Drum and Bass, drumstep, Dubstep, DUSTLA, EDM Blogs, Electronic Dance Music, Gift In Glass, Jake Groch, Josh Hand, Mischa Reining, On Fire, Rager Onions, Remix, Spag Heddy, Tomato Bass

Spag Heddy. How does he do it? Does he just have a secret stash of pre-completed beats to thrown down whenever he gets bored? Is he just juiced on heavy doses of speed, grinding down the sand in the hourglass, day in and and day out, methodically synthesizing masterpieces fit for a madman? We’d like to think the latter, although that would be completely ridiculous. Chances are, it’s most likely some place in between and probably not nearly as intense or dependent on substance abuse as we would like to imagine.

Either way, here’s Mischa Reining aka Spag Heddy’s latest drumstep remix of “On Fire” by Bone N Skin. Seriously though, this shit will get you going. Harder than a diamond in an ice storm.

Oh hell, while we’re at it why don’t you guys just enjoy the other boss original mix he just released, “Gift in Glass” featuring Todd Hand. It’s out now on another one of our favorite underground labels, DUSTLA.

Humpday Dubstep Massacre [Beats on Beats]

Here we are again, stuck in between that day of the week that we all dread, Monday and the ever so sweet day of liberation we all warmly welcome as Friday. What could be worse?

Oh yeah, it could be Monday again, good point.

Anywho, you’ve stuck it out and successfully made it halfway to the weekend, so we thought a little reward was in order – a recompense in the form of hefty doses of dub to get you going this Humpday. It has been clinically shown that blasting a banger a day, will keep the doctor (and pretty much everyone over the age of 30) away. Well, in this case, several ragers today aim to alleviate any work-related dismay.

Easy solution: PUT ON SOME DAMN HATER BLOCKERS
