Skrillex & Damian Marley - Make It Bun Dem (Brodinski x Alvin Risk Remixes)

Set to be released August 28th on OWSLA, here are my two favourite remixes from the remix EP for Skrillex & Damian Marley's huge collaborative single 'Make It Bun Dem'. Brodisnki takes the track down a Tech-House route, but it's Alvin Risk who stands out from the rest, with an outrageous Moombah-influenced bass heavy version that takes you on a 4 minute musical journey.

Fun. - We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monae) (Alvin Risk Remix Part II)

A few months ago, the supremely talented Alvin Risk added a much-needed club inflected slant on Fun.'s Janelle Monae-assisted chart smash "We Are Young". But the good news is that, he's now gone back in on it, and created something that maintains that anthemic feel that was prevalent in his original rework, but switches up the feel to something that we've become more accustomed to hearing from the producer. Lasers, insanely precise vocal sampling/pitching and yawning basslines all figure here, and this now staid and over-saturated track now has yet another lease of life. I remember when he played this out during his set supporting Example in April, so glad we finally get to hear the studio version.

Alvin Risk - Infinity

Alvin Risk is currently readying the release of his new EP 'Infinity', and today uploaded the title track, which is nothing short of spectacular. The track is only 3.50 mins long, but takes you on a musical journey that delves into about 12 different genres and seems to last forever, in a good way. This kid just keeps getting better and better - the EP is available to purchase April 24th on Dim Mak. Cannot wait to see his set on the Example tour.

Skrillex - Ruffneck Bass (Alvin Risk Remix)

Alvin Risk's remix of OWSLA head honcho Skrillex's 'Ruffneck Bass' premiered last month at the Ultra Music Festival, but now we have a high quality rip for you to feast your ears on. The remix takes the energy of the track up another level and has live cut-ins from Netsky’s remix of 'Everyday' by Rusko - be on the look out for the studio version soon.

Fun - We Are Young (Feat. Janelle Monae) (Alvin Risk Remix)

I'm a massive fan of basically everything that Alvin Risk does. The US producer is currently one of the hottest properties in the EDM game right now, what with touring with Skrillex and gaining masses of support from some of the most respected musicians on the scene. And to add to his startlingly exceptional back-catalogue, here is his club-friendly remix of Fun's Janelle Monae-featuring single "We Are Young", due out on Atlantic Records on 20th March. Displaying a different side to Alvin than we're used to, it's more club banger than complex moombahton, but it's massive all the same. Be sure to watch out for this guy in 2012, big things are expected.

Alvin Risk - Survival (Feat. Sirah)

Given its world premiere on Zane Lowe's show the other night, here is a brand new piece from Alvin Risk, which features Sirah and is set to be released on his forthcoming (still untitled) EP. Been impressed with everything this guy has dropped since his remix of Example's number one 'Stay Awake', and can't wait to see him perform on the Example arena tour in April. Big things ahead this year.

Following his recent Steve Aoki & Oh My! remixes, rising Dubstep star Alvin Risk has now added his own unique flavour to the new Kaskade single. This guy continues to push the boundaries and bring a totally fresh twist on the pulsating Electro-infused Dubstep sound that has become so popular in 2011. Remix package out soon on Ultra.
