The Two. Fifteens On 2/15
I had a brief conversation with one of The Two. Fifteens, whom I'd never spoken with via telephone. It's weird how your Internets works. My man actually hit me up because it was 2/15 and, you know, that's their namesake (although their moniker has nathan to do with post-Valentine's Day). There might be those of you who sleep on RTD, Benji B, XLR8R, Starkey and the other tastemakers who've latched onto the brothers, so it made sense to bring some of you nigras up to speed on their last two releases, The Commute, Vol. 1 and Stripes. Both are examples of the next-level of bass music, and great insight into the melting pot of sounds that things like your Internets can create. Hit the jump for downloads of both, and celebrate 2/15 properly - with The Two. Fifteens! And be on the lookout for Effective When Used After...Luvstep 3 (mixed by Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix)
Perfect way to ride out your V-Day in bass-driven harmony. DSJ & Flufftronix have outdone themselves this go round. Full details via Mad Decent.DOWNLOAD Luvstep 3 (mixed by Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix)
DJ Cable - Valentine's Day Mix 2012
Like he always does around this time, DJ Cable brings forth a slick mix of bass music and Hip-Hop styles, with some Juke and tings thrown in for good measure, all in the name of Valentine's Day. But this isn't the lovey dovey shit. This is straight sweaty, sticky, dimly lit bedroom mashout styles. Get drunk on that good wine, turn this one all the way up, and smash the shit out of your loved one. They'll love it.

Solid Steel (2/03/2012)
Turn the sound off the Super Bowl and let this be the soundtrack. Seriously. Coldcut provides parts 1-3, with Slugabed guesting for Part 4.
DJ Nappy's Post-Christmas Gifts
While I can't comment on how long it might take Nappy to get some shit done, I always commend him when he gets in his zones. He can knock a mix a day if he wants, or drop some ridiculous refixes on that ass. In the last few days, he let loose both a refix of a track that I sent the acapella to him mad long ago, and a jawn that he definitely sent to some DJs with an email stating to not put the track anywhere. I'm his manager and I can't manage him. I failed in 2011. But you won, because you still got two shit-hot refixes. THUGSTEP train keeps moving. Oh and yes, that's definitely an aerial shot of Nappy's workspace up there. And grab that THUGSTEP Commission mix!FREE 320 DOWNLOAD!!

The Two. Fifteens - Stripes
It's wild to think that fully-realized albums like this would be dropping for free. Consider this an early Christmas gift. The Two. Fifteens have entrusted RTD to premiere their new album, Stripes, which showcases the next chapter in their evolution. They are already dedicated to massacring whatever speakerbox you choose to put into your whips, but they show off more of their atmospheric side, not just relying on fat bass and big drums to get their point across. I've been championing their music for a bit, and this is the most aware I've heard them. Almost like their other releases have been demos, and this is the full realization of where they are going. A number of these cuts have gotten love from DJs like Starkey and Nappy, and feel like some proper Electronic music for the snow season. Literally. Synths like snowflakes, bass making the earth quake. Some really forward-thinking music here, but you already know what the fuck time it is, right? 2012 should be the truth for these two, trust. For right now, though, soak-up this 11-track opus. Big up Darkie for the artwork.DOWNLOAD The Two. Fifteens - Stripes

This cover was done by Darkie. Stripes drops on December 15th.Five Albums From Lyle Horowitz
When we last saw Lyle Horowitz, he was wrecking shop with PreZZure as the Woodside Boys. During that time, he was also putting the finishing touches on five different albums... which he dropped earlier today. I've heard bits of many of these, and he definitely runs the gamut. Some Hip-Hop, but a lot of quirk/weird shit. Loves it. Hit the jump for the full monty.Aphex Twin "Avril 14th (Terravita Drumstep Remix)"
SUBHMAN is always good for a free bit, and this one was purely unexpected. While most of my time here is taken up by Hip-Hop, I'm a big fan of Drum & Bass and dubstep, as well as their bastard child Drumstep, and Terravita is good with the more dancefloor-tinged style of all three genres. The fact that he flipped a classic Aphex Twin track in a drumstep vein was completely unexpected. AFX always had a knack for hypnotic, somber melodies, and to hear Terravita flip one of those into a bright anthem is just what I need on a bullshit work day like today. I needed this.

The Two. Fifteens - RTD Halloween Mix 2011
For the second Halloween in a row, The Two. Fifteens have cooked up an exclusive mix for you RTD fiends out there. 2011 has been a dope year from them, getting some great looks from the likes of Benji B, Starkey and other major players, as well as putting out projects like The Commute Vol. 1, as well as remix Nappy's "This Is Anger". They've got a grip of heat in the chamber, and are no doubt waiting to put out some serious sounds. I'll keep you locked on all of that, as per usual. For now, take a walk on the spooky side with their latest mix, featuring cuts from Hype Williams (the producer, not the video director), Scientist, Project Pat, Drumma Boy and their own productions. Fucks with this for your weekend - you HAVE to have some parties that this mix could be the soundtrack for very easily.
The Two. Fifteens "Wavy Life"
New heat from The Two. Fifteens; some special spacetrip shit right here. Feels like floating with the clouds. I imagine everytime that bass hits, the clouds shake and form new figures. Love that these brothers can totally arrange their bass-heavy from something menacing for the night into something so vivid and beautiful. Crunked out ballet step right here. Effective When Used After... soon come.

The Two. Fifteens "Patch'd Upp Rugby Slapp"
I felt dumb special. Some of my relationships afford me the opportunity to receive pre-release material, with strict instructions. Most of them include "you fucking share this and we'll gut you like the spineless fuck you are", so most of the time I won't even mention I have them. But after a don like Starkey dropped this on 1Xtra, I guess it didn't make sense to hold onto this. The Two. Fifteens feel like they're on the brink, and if they keep churning out beats like this? No telling who will be picking them up. Loving this one - super deep bass, has some dubstep tendencies but a few of you smart rappers should be able to throw a few sixteens on this. If you missed "Extra Cheese Slapp", know that the two of these just got released as promo exclusive jawns. Drop them in your mixes, rattle your speakers with 'em. Do whatever it is you need to do.

Solid Steel (8/26/2011)
Had to post this one. Solid Steel's gone and let DK rock the first hour, and allowed motherfucking Skream drops in for the second hour, with a special mix of his influences (featuring everything from Prince to The Bucketheads). Love mixes like this that truly showcase what someone feels represents in the new shit they create. Enjoy this one.
The Two. Fifteens "Extra Cheese Slapp"
Well of course, a few days after Benji B drops "Cloudy. Got 'Em" on BBC Radio 1, Starkey drops a few bangers from The Two. Fifteens on MistaJam's 1Xtra show during his mix. One of them is a banger entitled "Patch'dUppRugbySlapp", which isn't available right now, but also features "Extra Cheese Slapp", which got a big premier on XLR8R earlier. It's in the vein of exactly what you expect from these two. LMAO at XL8R almost scoffing at the press description of "what Burial would sound like if he was from South Central", although it's a pretty solid comparison. Fucking bass in this one goes ham, and the bleeps and atmosphere will have you rocking to this one. Proper infectious EDM for the uninitiated. Don't want to say "I told you so", but we are about two years removed from their proper reemergence.

Benji B - Exploring Future Beats (8/18/2011)
While I should be posting this because Objekt touched down for a special mix, I really am fucking with this because Benji B dropped a track from The Two. Fifteens ("Cloudy Got 'Em"), which was featured on the RTD FiF compilation. It's the little things. Be on the lookout for a project with The 215s and a few niggas RTD fucks with. Trust.
Life+Times Presents Troublemaker - Pantystep
I wasn't quite sure why Jay-Z's Life+Times blog was presenting what's essentially a dubstep mix until I heard Watch The Throne. Still not sure why Troublemaker is calling it "pantystep", when I imagine it's not that far off from "luvstep". Lots of steps. Dope mix featuring cuts from Rusko, SBTRKT, Joker, The-Dream, Frank Ocean and more.
