Atlanta's heRobust has been dishing out some really, really amazing beats lately. But expect that dishing to turn into nothing short of an all-out assault on the global beat game very soon with surely enough material to keep us all enthralled for the rest of the year and...

We've got bad news for producer/remixer types. It's not everyday that I get this geeked over one of the many remixes and other promo tracks sent our way from around the globe. But this latest track from ATL's heRobust might just be shitting on the entire remixing game right...

I'll confess that I've never been much of a Florence + the Machine fan. Between Florence Mary Leontine Welch's (yes that's her real name) overwrought vocals, lyrics and the group's radio exposure, I've often found myself switching off their latest single whenever it comes...

Damn. Just when I thought I'd heard enough Adele to last me 4 lifetimes, some smartass (San Diego's DJ Carlos Serrano) decides to shove together "Set Fire To The Rain" and "Something About You" to make something completely related to both, but with a whole new feel and...

KC-based DJ/producer, Spinstyles and KC-Portland transplant, Ben Tactic (Brent Tactic's partner in crime at Think 2Wice,) recently caught my ear while going through my soundcloud dashboard (I'm getting better at it). Spinstyles took a vocal from what I believe to be Houston rap...

Kansas City-based producer (among other things), Phantom, is urging listeners and DJs to grab this one while it's hot before he disables the download allowance later tonight. For his latest uptempo effort, Afrojack's "Take Over Control" gets taken down a notch. We can see why...

If you're looking for a soundcloud page to get lost in, I have located one for you. Of course my all-time favorite is anything that makes its way onto Star Slinger's hallowed harbor, but stealing my attention currently is Madeon. Sometimes channeling Chromeo or RJD2, he's got...

[pictured: Caspa]
Some of the first tunes I heard out of this dubstep phenomenon came from one original dubstep don, Caspa (London) and West Coast bass delegate, Matty G, back in the summer of 2007 where the Bassline Pressure night was going down at Jilly's on Broadway here...

With more artists in KC doing experimental, beat music derivatives this year, I thought this separate chart would only be right. I don’t think I had near as many favorite local beats to refer to when the Demencha writers put together their 2010 music picks last year. But in...
