Flinch ft Ellie Goulding - You Don't Know
By: Anand Harsh
When it comes to vocalists in the dubstep world, few are more sought after than Ms. Ellie Goulding. Lucky Flinch was able to snag her for his latest bass-heavy anthem. "You Don't Know" has a distinctive sound reminiscent of some giant UK hits, with its climactic drop shredding the entire bass to treble spectrum. And of course Goulding's powerful voice is a perfect match for the producer's intensity. Bordering on lovestep, this sexy song is indicative of the breadth and depth of both of these performers' abilities. This SMOG offering is not only evocative, but it's a statement for the direction that the label is headed. While there has been a good deal of trap coming from the outfit's members, these guys are still a force to be reckonded with in the dubstep world.
MitiS & MaHi - Sky [FREE DOWNLOAD]
By: Anand Harsh
You loved them when they defeated blue Arnold Schwarzenegger and Uma Thurman as some sort of odd plant lady. You loved them when Jim Carrey was still silly and wore weird outfits before he got all serious and stuff and couldn't get over that chick he dated. And of course, you loved when MitiS & MaHi produced "Blu." So the new dynamic duo is back (and I won't tell you which one is Batman, because you never want to be Robin--circus people are scary) with a brand new house hit, "Sky." Bubbly and sensual, this track lights up all your chakras and blasts you into hyperdrive on good, positive energy. If you aren't already on the MitiS tip, you're bananas. Joe Torre is a bona fide star. And you don't have to drop a dime on it!

LabRat - Fuse
By: Anand Harsh
"We like what we like, and we make what we make." I think that's the vibe of a wide cross-section of producers today. I could be totally wrong, but a couple of years ago at this time, a lot of artists were making the most banging tunes they could--because that was the thing to do. Think about who these artists are, though. A great number of them are musiciains, schooled in the ways of the classics, jazz and whatnot. So now that instrumental music has come back in a big way, it makes sense that we're hearing funkier, jazzier productions across the board. Take "Fuse," for instance, which says it all in the title. Let's take the modern production techniques of the day and fuse them with the chill sounds we love. For a LabRat, Travis Egner-Williams is a pretty smart dude.

Hellberg & Matt Prey ft Brenton Mattheus - Hope
By: Anand Harsh
Hellberg saw the same potential in Brenton Mattheus from those mega-hits with SirensCeol that we first heard (we're hazarding a guess). Regardless, Mattheus is about to get a helluva lot more work. No pun intended. Sweden's Jonathan Hellberg teamed up with Matt Prey to create this soaring canvas fro Mattheus' powerful pipes, and the thrilling climax is exactly what prog fans are looking for. Sure, a young Swede in the house game is already going to be drawing comparisons to other young Swedes in the house game *cough, cough, Avicii, cough, cough* but c'mon: the kid's got undeniable talent. Keep doing your thing, Hellberg! This track is out now on Marcel Woods' Musical Madness label. Grab it.
