Charlie Darker produces some pretty epic tunes which can be found below, he's part of a movement of quite young up and coming producers who are tearing up the bloggersphere. Check out the bio from his Soundcloud below and his tunes.
Bio (from his soundcloud):
Charlie Darker, the musical alias of 19-year old DJ/producer Evan Blair,
is a product of the explosion of the EDM movement in North
America. Charlie Darker spent his early years playing different
instruments in numerous bands, but eventually traded in the guitar and
drums for a Macbook and Ableton. Since his venture from indie rock to
EDM in 2009, Mr. Darker has been gaining exposure as a notable producer
in the blogosphere and beyond. Darker then took his talents from the
studio to the club, conquering legendary EDM venues across
Canada.Darker’s DJ sets, a diverse clash of high-energy electro,
dubstep, and big room, have helped him gain recognition as a rising star
in the Canadian EDM scene.This reputation has allowed him to share the
stage with well-respected DJs such as Wolfgang Gartner, LA Riots, Mord
Fustang, and Peace Treaty.After releasing his first official single
“Astromarx” on Plasmapool’s Houserecordings, Charlie Darker was
handpicked by Mord Fustang to remix the electro all-star’s Beatport
chart-topper “”Electric Dream”.The track then went on to crack the top 5
on the Beatport dubstep chart, as well as the top 100 beatport overall
chart. 2012 is set to be a big year for Charlie Darker, with tracks
already cracking the top 5 on the HypeM chart, and new original tracks,
collaborations, and remixes on the way
Completely missed this one. Whilst stumbling through the backlog of recent BBC Essential Mixes low and behold i came across this little gem from a couple of weeks back. Here is the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix for the big guy Joker. I had the pleasure of meeting this guy recently at a 44 Bondi Rd special ft Little Dragon and he was a pretty cool guy. His music is out of this world though, and i remember seeing him for the first time at Days Like This, seeing this giant hovering over these seemingly minuscule turntables but performing with such skill and care. He also performed this year before Feed Me at Fields Days and had the crowd going absolutely mental. If you have the opportunity to see him, do it. Expect something similar to the below.

Wilkinson is one of the more recent additions to the Ram Records, the label begun by DnB godfather Andy C. Wilkinson initially broke onto the scene with a few songs passed on to
Hospital Records via Cyantific, which led to his first release on Hospital
Recordsʼ Sick Music 2 compilation.
His next breakthrough was a meeting with Andy C after he sent through a folder of songs to the label in 2010. He was lucky enough to have a few of his songs on Andy Cʼs Nightlife 5
album which is a sure fire way to get people putting your songs on repeat.
He has since remixed for the likes of Chase &
Status and Example and is currently working on production projects for new
Mercury Records signing JayʼElleʼDee and Island Records artist Jess Mills.
He is now featuring on the latest Ram Records release RAMM109 which you can get a taste of and purchase below.
Thanks to Inthemix for putting me onto this one. Skream and Benga, the guru Dubstep Producer's/DJ's who helped define the genre as well as make up two-thirds of the hit group Magnetic Man, have teamed with Scion A/V to release a free EP for your listening pleasure.
You can catch these boys touring with the RnV crew this summer, playing at both Rhythm and Vines and Rhythm and Alps, its going to be massive and well worth checking out. For those in Aus, they will be at Fields Days in Sydney as well as touring with the Summadayze festival. Download the tunes at the link below and support the boys.
I can't find too much on this guy, only a small bio from last.fm which you can find below. His music speaks for himself though. Compared to artists such as Four Tet, James Blake and SBTRKT his tunes often contain soothing vocals over a deep rolling 2-step beat. While the below music is not exactly freshly released, it will give you a taste of what is in-store from this guy in the future.
"At nineteen years old, Glasgow based producer Koreless somehow creates a
sense of space in his music that some spend a lifetime trying to
achieve. He’s so young but the music feels mature. Koreless throws his
beats against a beautifully woven tapestry of ambiance, it’s like they
bounce off that, then cascade straight across your cerebellum"......... Deep
Shame On Me
is the music/art project of Joy and Cara, formerly of alternative pop group
Dats The Crux.
They liked
the thought of a radio announcer saying, “coming up is... Shame On You by Shame
On Me."
Photographer
Natasha Cantwell took photographs of the girls with monobrows and black
skivvys, and they wrote the song to match the exhibition. Check out the rest of their tunes and their latest one Mosquito which is coming out soon.
Below is a remix of the their tune Shame on You by Hey Now (Yuhei Kudo). Love the remix and Yuhei Kudo's other tunes as well. Look out for a separate feature in the coming days to hear more of this Christchurch producer's stuff.
I dislike the original due to its constant hammering on numerous commercial radios stations, and also the jukebox at work for that matter. But this is breath of fresh air on a rather foul stench of a song. Do not know who this is by, but apparently is taken from a Random Movement mix.
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (T-E-E-D) has caused quite a stir over the last year. With the release of his re-breakout tune Garden he has blown up on the blog circuit. He has been remixed by the likes of Calibre, Jessie Rose and Soul Clap and will be gracing us with his presence down under this summer. His latest tune Dream On is an absolute banger and was featured in the Friday tunes a couple of weeks back. You can also find this below again for your listening pleasure.
If you haven't guessed already, I'm a mega fan of SBTRKT. Just stumbled upon this epic mix live from the iTunes Festival in London. Its a little old, recorded in July, but fucking epic. If you are seeing him when he tours with Laneway in February, pop this on your iPod and get excited.
You
may have heard recently of a relatively new Electro/Dubstep outfit
called Knife Party who have been generating waves in the music scene of
late. What you may not have known, and what only came to light to me
through my research is that Rob Swire and fellow member Gareth
McGrillen, of Pendulum fame, are the ones behind this tasty little side
project. Totally separate from their Pendulum endeavours, these guys are
following on in the footsteps of producers such as Feed Me, who himself
is the side project of D'n'B producer Spor.
A random
fact - The name of the side project was used as a reference to the song
of the same name by the metal band the Deftones, of which Pendulum are
fans.
Check out a few of their remixes below and look out for their free EP 100% No Modern Talking.
