Vhyce - Be The Same (Fake Blood Remix) [Food Music]

Food Music will be releasing the remix package of Kry Wolf's DNA compilation on June 8th. You may remember us posting about the DNA compilation back in January when the original compilation was released - it was one of the first posts we did on the blog. One of my favourite tracks from the compilations was Vhyce's Be The Same with it's evolution of the track over the whole course of its playtime. The remix version of DNA sees this track remixed by dance music heavyweight Fake Blood.

Currently all we have to work with is the teaser preview, but from that we can already see that the Fake Blood remix definitely holds some of the original elements of Be The Same while putting a new spin on the track. The light synth buildups into the drops are still there, with a chopped and spliced version of the main vocal laid on top.  It all drops into a much heavier bassline than the original, which is an interesting change, but much in the style of some of Fake Blood's recent work (The Hornet EP came out on Food Music in mid-May).

The entire DNA remix EP looks very interesting, with both big names and newer but proven heavy hitters from dance music stepping up to put their touches on the originals from the compilation release.  With names like Shadow Child, S.P.Y., Fake Blood, Applebottom, and Dansim bringing their vibes to this remix EP, rest assured that these remixes will not disappoint. Make sure to grab your copy when it drops on June 8th.

S.P.Y - BRSTL Hardcore [NEST046]

We're going in heavy this Wednesday, cause we know sometimes you just need a boost to get through the hump day.  Hospital Records and Drum & Bass veteran S.P.Y. has come through with a dark and driving EP through Skrillex's Nest HQ label. If you haven't heard anything about Nest HQ yet, definitely check them out - they are a label dedicated to releasing great music for free, mostly on the heavier side of dance and electronic music.

As mentioned earlier, Hospital Records is one of the biggest labels in Drum & Bass, and S.P.Y. is a label veteran. So you know anything they're putting out is going to be big, and this EP is no exception to that expectation. The title track sets the tone for the rest of the EP, starting off dark, semi tribal and ominous before dropping into the heavy, old school dnb reese and drums. My other favourite on this is Leave Me Alone, with its unique use of the synth to create both melodic and additional percussive elements.

If you're a fan of dnb, grab these tracks below directly from Soundcloud for free.

As an additional little bonus track highlight, and to show a bit more of S.P.Y.'s production versatility, I'm also including one of his more atmospheric works that I absolutely love. Here it is, S.P.Y. - You. Enjoy.
