Although UK DnB producer InsideInfo has been releasing tunes for around 10 years already, he only caught my attention earlier this year with his remix of Camo & Krooked‘s “Anubis”. His impeccable use of crunchy bass synths and insanely tight percussion grooves puts him above the rest. His latest release on Futurebound’s label Viper Recordings [...]

While it is usually categorised as ‘Electro House‘ on BeatPort, it has aspects of several genres mashed together, namely Dubstep, Electro House and Fidget House.

No Clowning Around
-
Artist:
One of my favorite dubstep producers, Addergebroed, comes from the Netherlands. This is an area that has been known for its trance rather than dubstep.

Addergebroed’s productions are probably some of the closest to the Circus Records sound without actually being [...]
