Skrillex ft. Damian Marley – Make It Bun Dem OFFICIAL REMIX CONTEST

For most likely what’s going to be the biggest remix contest in history to date, Skrillex and Reggae Legend Damian Marley, have released the remix stems for “Make It Bun Dem,” their huge Dubstep/Reggae hit with Marley providing vocals and Skrillex utilizing his bass driven production skill. The contest, which in only one day has drawn in over 100 remixes for a prize of an OWSLA signing and official remix release, promises to be even more epic in scale than Zedd’s record breaking remix contest for “Spectrum,” which drew in over 2500 remixes and was won by Shreddie Mercury! As the list begins to pile up, Sonny Moore and the OWSLA crew are going to have their work cut out for them as there are already some cutting edge remixes with views in the thousands uploaded to the contest page.

One of the highest ranking remixes is Fista Cuffs Moombahcore remix that gained over 1400 views in less than a day and is neck and neck for second place for most plays in the contest. Fista Cuffs are known for their heavy and dark take on Moombahton and it shows through in their remix that is already gaining by far the most positive feedback. With all the current focus on Moombahton and mid tempo music within the Bass community, Fista Cuffs is starting to become a contest favorite in what will soon be the biggest remix contest in the history of EDM.

PRODUCERS: HAVE AT IT!

Review of Figure @ 1015 Folsom in San Francisco 8/24

Figure’s performance at 1015 Folsom last Friday was nothing short of epic. The Monster of Drumstep was dropping some absurdly furious basslines that left the crowd begging for more. The supporting acts, Stratus, Johnny 5, Russ Liquid, and Thriftworks all played superb sets, throwing down everything from Dubstep to Moombahton to House. The place was packed for these guys and one of the most talked about names in bass music today. Re:Creation did it right with stacking the lineup full of great names. The ihatefun backroom featured music from James Christopher, Audio Angel, Dnaebeats, and Zaptap + Denley/B Durazzo. The place was jampacked with fans from all over the Bay Area and the music wasn’t letting down. 1015 Folsom was a Basshead’s wet dream last friday. Hopefully we’ll be seeing more of Figure in San Francisco.
