There is something about AXEN. Having only properly emerged onto the dubstep scene a year or so ago, he has signed with Circus Records and has an incredible number of remixes under his belt. To name a few, you can hear the Perth based producer’s inimitable style on works originally by the likes of BadKlaat and Slander. His Droid Bass EP really established his robotic signature sound earlier this year, and he has delivered an insanely sharp new single titled ‘Machine.’
With such a unique approach to creating beats, we had to find out the 5 Floor Fillers AXEN has in his musical arsenal. Check them out below and enjoy!
TC – ‘Tap Ho’
A timeless drum & bass classic that never fails to impress on the dance floor. It’s simple but very effective and still to this day is a staple in my DJ set. It was actually the very first drum & bass song I fell in love with.
Black Tiger Sex Machine x Apashe – ‘Replicants’ (Kompany Remix)
An amazingly well put together track: aggressive vibes and the switch ups between Brostep and Briddim styles keep the energy at an all-time high on the dance floor.
Herobust – ‘WTF’
A dubstep anthem that will make an entire crowd literally chant “WTF” over and over before the drop even starts. I got into producing bass music because of Herobust – what caught my attention was how innovative he is. I’m pretty certain majority of the sounds in that track were made from just his own voice saying “WTF” too!
PhaseOne & YOOKiE – ‘State Of Emergency’
This track is probably one of the most well executed tracks I’ve heard this year. I always look for tracks that keep things interesting and this one takes the cake. Everything from its transitions to the variations in all of the drops make this one a must-have.
G-REX – ‘Wook Blaster’
G-REX is on another level with his releases lately, ‘Wook Blaster’ is one those tracks you really need to hear out at a club, or better yet a festival system just to see and hear the crowd reaction – which is up there with one of the best I’ve seen.
