Hot Everything

We often enjoy giving credit to the quality, high end locations to stop by when it comes to blog-hopping, albeit the underlying assumptions. You could look at it and say this act is simply promoting the competition, but hell, we read them and we love them, so you might too. Today we've just gotta give kudos to Swehouse, labeled Sweden's premier house music blog. In the past, we've raved about blogs for their layout, writing style and even funny nature, but the most standout attribute of Swehouse? Good quality music.

They don't do any of that half-hearted stuff, so when 'Mr K' and 'Alex R' (the two contributors for the blog) do a post, you know its worth the downloads, even if your sporting a shitty internet connection! The posts are straight to the point, giving you just what you need to know about the track and always including a prominent shout out to the artist's talent. Keeping in Swehouse fashion, we'll wrap this up and include a few of the tunes the team have featured lately. If you like them, which you will, the link to their page is staring back at you!

Chuckie vs LMFAO - Let The Bass Kick (Laidback Lukes I'm In Budapest Bitch Edit) swehouse.com
Laidback Luke has been touring a shitload lately, and he made edit's of this tune for all the places he stopped by. You can grab 250mb of Laidback Luke Edits here.

Redroche - Give U More feat Laura Kidd (Afrojack Remix) swehouse.blogspot.com
You can decide what you think of this one, but a closing note would be that it proves Afrojack's versatility as a producer - just wait until he comes to Australia!

Will Bailey - Hit The Club (Sidney Sampson Remix) swehouse.blogspot.com
It's a pretty heavy dose of the Sidney Sampson we all got so used to after Riverside. Semi-mainstream club - eat your heart out!

Having built our following on travels down a 100% legal charter (to the best of our ability), we look at some other blogs (let's forget Swehouse for now) in the current day and sit around scratching our head's in disbeleif. Having learnt the hard way that un-authorised and even 'slightly controversial' links will be removed and a copyright infringement generally follows, we get on the right side of astounded when watching other blog's posting links to full albums/EPs on torrent providers like 'ThePirateBay' (it even sounds dodgy!). While it's a possibility these blogs upload full albums to these providers and then share them on their website (having previously gained permission from the artist, label and manager involved), our best guess suggests they are simply 're-posting' the illegal link. I guess that's what makes the blog's in question feel like they are doing something right, or at least, nothing wrong. If you like a tune that has a release date and you want it in your library, be nice, credit the artist, and buy the tune.

Apparently Dub be Good

There's no denying the fact that evolution and progression spell change, so its to no suprise that a few years after 'fidget' burst up the scene and took over there's a new genre in town. Dubstep has started to creep in, and lets face it - it's a whole new ball game. Described as 'encorporating grime into 2-step garage sound', the latest craze hits bass levels harder and longer than its predecessors and wields its hands to the underground. While it may be a pain in the ass to dance to, its got some of the hardest hitting producers out there twisting the style into fame. Rusko and Benga have been throwing their stuff in the scene for years and have amassed loads of support internationally - but perhaps one of the most well known around this part of the world is A1 Bassline. 

More About A1 Bassline Here

The mysterious young producer/DJ recognised more fame than most when his Girl Thing EP smacked out across blogs around the world and took him upwards of his expectations. In turn, he must of fully accepted the power of blogs, and kicked off his own. Since then he has released an array of free downloads to the general public - keeping everyone stimulated by his dubstep beats and banging them out more and more often. Check out a few of the downloads he has thrown up, then jump onto his blog to get the rest - might as well jump on the dubstep bandwagon hey? Just change your dancing style.
