Wes’ Best of 2013
All the big players in the music blogging and magazine biz like to think they are the be-all-end-all for best-of-the-year accolades, but thankfully we have our own voice and our voice doesn’t usually represent the same opinions (or categories) as those echo chambers. Top Albums of 2013: Hybrid Minds – Mountains – Spearhead Claude VonStroke […]
Ivy Lab – Ivycast 002 Podcast
Alright, I am going to open up my book and let out one of my biggest secret weapons. Ivy Lab caught my ear last year with the AMAZING release with Frank Carter III called “Afterthought.” Absolutely an amazing tune released on Critical and I just could not get enough of it. Ivy Lab is Stray, […]

Ulterior Motive w/LX One – Metalheadz Show Rinse FM-7/17/03
Ulterior Motive is absolutely on fire right now. Upcoming releases on any label you can imagine, this duo is quickly becoming my favorite with a production emphasis on heavy, intense beats, and less sound design. I promise this mix is for those that need some energy for getting their workout on or getting on the […]
Lenzman & Dan Stezo – Welcome to 2013: The Mixtape
Lenzman is an absolute badman. I can’t say enough about the Dutchman but he has made the rounds delivering some incredible free remixes for everyone to enjoy and original material as well. The Metalheadz releases have just been incredible and he pushes a sound we need to have more of in Drum and Bass. While […]
