Someone told Busta Rhymes his current single “Why Stop Now” feat. Chris Brown could be way better then it was and guess what.. he listened! Adding more vocals, lyrics and adjusting the flow has really shows that the 11x nominated Grammy rapper is not afraid to innovate on old tracks, something that we’ve seen happen a lot more recently in the EDM scene with artists like Dillon Francis and his 2 versions of I.D.G.A.F.O.S and Beutician.
The new & improved Why Stop Now opens the floor for Lil’ Wayne and Busta’s sweetly-named “beautiful twin” Missy Elliott who matched Busta in her fierce spit of lyrics down the mic. With all artists dropping their lyrics in a style they do best, the record really steps up a notch and added to the best of busta collection

Big ups MixtapeMaestro for the tip off!
Very seldom do I hear about a remix and enjoy it more than the original track. I guess there is just part of me that likes to hold on to the original of something because without it there would be nothing to remix at all. Edit‘s version of Machinedrum‘s “Let it”, though, makes me really question the way I’ve been looking at remixes because I actually do think its better than the original. While Machinedrum’s song is a great foundation, Edit’s subtle additions really fill out the track and make it bigger. His penchant for riding the bass and adding high pitched synth leads give the track an almost eerie feel for the vocals to build upon.
Edit, real name Edward Ma, has been quite unstoppable since forming the supergroup The Glitch Mob. Make sure you check our exclusive interview with him a few months back.

Experimental dubstep producer Burial is setting 2012 ablaze with his new three-track EP, ‘Kindred’, which you can stream here. Featuring some of the most beautiful pieces of brooding electronica, ‘Loner’ is definitely the highlight, its delicate shimmering synths contrasting with moody beats. Miguel Bidarra has created an incredible idea to accompany the start, and its kaleidoscopic quality is truly stunning.
Schoolboy is an up and coming producer from Los Angeles who is putting out some great drumstep, dubstep and DnB bangers lately. His new EP titled “The Science Project” explores the full spectrum of electronic tempos and hard styles while still maintaining a consistent voice throughout. We especially like his spaced out melodies and shifting, heavy duty bass lines. Take a listen to our favorite single off the album, “Day Dreamer” and if it gets you fired up then pick up his album on Beatport here.
