The first track, “EDM”, has Bear Grillz collaborating with audio annihilator Getter. Bear Grillz is somewhat of an expert when it comes to EDM, even though he’s convinced many of his less intelligent animal compatriots EDM is a kind of candy. He is the authority on all things rave in the animal kingdom, and so it makes sense that he leads the EP with a musical odyssey through the contentious world of EDM politics.
Speaking of experts in the subject, Bear Grillz combines forces with the incredibly talented yet totally unpredictable DJ BL3ND to remind fans what it takes to “Get Down”. Returning to the Electro House roots that drove the scene into the second decade of the 21st century, the track refocuses the power of the Dubstep Wub into an Electro Anthem. For Bear Grillz, though, dancing dirty always leads to outward displays of his hypersexuality. Following “Get Down” is the irresistibly Twerkable “Bend It Over Gurl”, a scorching collaboration with recent Ninja Nation tour mate ETC! ETC! No one will ever truly know the subject of those late night conversations between Bear Grillz and ETC! ETC!, but if “Bend It Over Gurl” is the immediate audio aftermath, then it doesn’t take an incredible leap of logic to generate some credible theories. A phenomenal talent in his own right, ETC! ETC! provides his personal style and production prowess to another of Bear Grillz’ dance floor bangers.
With support from the young bass genius Trollphace, “Marijuana” rounds out the set. The track takes the classic Raggae vibe and supercharges it. It’s a style Bear Grillz has perfected, and the result is a hands-in-the-air festival anthem.
The track listing for Bear Grillz & Friends Volume 2 is:
1. Bear Grillz & Getter – “EDM”
2. Bear Grillz & DJ BL3ND – “Get Down”
3. Bear Grillz & ETC! ETC! – “Bend It Over Gurl”
4. Bear Grillz & Trollphace – “Marijuana”

(Los Angeles) February 25th Firepower Records is set to release ETC! ETC! and Tha Trickaz’ scorching new single “Supa Hot Fire” on March 10th, and when forces as formidable as these come together, the bass music world would do well to pay attention.
“Supa Hot Fire” is the kind of track that we’ll look back on and identify as the beginning of the next era in bass production. That makes sense—Tha Trickaz’ deliberate hip-hop and Dubstep crossover philosophy has laid a path only the brave are willing to follow. And ETC! ETC! made a name for himself by successfully forging a path through the Trap game. The result of this collaboration is a Frankenstein creation loaded with so much bass, it’s capable of burning the clothes right off your body. The track leads with a collection of detailed Trap tricks, but the drop hits, and it turns into a completely new kind of sound. It moves through aggressive Dubstep style synth arrangements, but the Hip Hop stylings underpinning the Trap sound create a bounce that immediately puts swag in your step and gas-can in one hand and a match in the other.
ETC! ETC! gravitates his aural attention onto anything that moves the room. First attracted to Electro House for the big bass and floor-shattering fast-paced BPM, ETC!ETC! started to shift his focus to moombahton in early 2011 and started making an impact on the scene almost immediately. As of late, ETC!ETC! has achieved Rockstar status, producing some of the “heaviest, most intense Trap songs ever created,” according to ThisSongIsSick.com.
Hailing from Paris, France, Tha Trickaz is is comprised of Pho from the Dirtyphonics and Dj iRaize from Tha New Team. Their sound is a hybrid futuristic combination of Bass music, Hip-hop, Trap, Epic orchestras, Anime, and Soundtrack influences. Their show is a unique experience: by playing heavy beats on pads, rumbling basses on synths, and samples and scratches on turntables, Tha Trickaz redefines the concept of “Live” in Electronic Music. The two masked producers use their machines like real instruments and always drive crowds crazy. They’ve shared the stage with major acts such as Wu Tang Clan, Noisia, Bloody Beetroots, Mr Oizo, Foreign Beggars, Gramatik, Deltron 3030, Riff Raff, Action Bronson.

Preorder Fox Stevenson’s Throwdown EP Remixes on iTunes: http://bit.ly/1nZBCxS
LOS ANGELES (Ocotber 8th) When Firepower Record’s head honcho Datsik let it be known earlier this summer that Fox Stevenson’s Throwdown EP was his absolute favorite, the Dubstep world wondered what he had up his sleeve. When the Throwdown EP dropped in July, that wonder turned into a certainty that Firepower Records was in the business of representing the power of Bass in all its forms. An unmitigated talent in his own right, Fox Stevenson’s power of Bass was seemingly endless. With a mastery of all facets of the production process, Fox Stevenson has developed a formula that allows him to produce both as a mainstream artist and as a filthy Bass music maker simultaneously. He grew up in an artistic environment and flourishes as a fearless performer on and off stage. He writes, sings, and mixes his own material in a live-act performance that incorporates multiple genres, creates a fun, upbeat and explosive sound, and pushes the limits of electronic music. Datsik saw this and wasn’t going to let it slip through his fingers.
Three months after the release of the Throwdown EP some of bass music’s most respected producers including The Brig, Rob Gasser, ETC! ETC! & Tight Traxx, xKore, and Protohype, whose recent track “Zero” off of his Encore EP shot to the #1 spot on the Beatport Dubstep Chart when it was released, have signed on to remix one of the biggest bass music releases of the summer.
The Throwdown EP’s 5 tracks were originally each designed to ignite dance floors all over the planet. And they did! Shortly after its release, Throwdown hit multiple Beatport #1’s. The obvious question is: how do you make something this good stand out even more?
The track “High Five” get an insane wobble-ridden upgrade in the Throwdown Remixes EP. Rob Gasser takes the title track, “Throwdown”, to the stratosphere by adding a heavy Drumstep/Drum and Bass bassline and one of his signature synth top-lines. Gasser’s most impressive move, though, is his foresight in keeping the quality of Fox Stevenson’s vocals intact but rearranging them to fit his production philosophy. The result is an expertly arranged remix that sounds unique and original.
But it’s ETC! ETC! & Tight Traxx remix of “Double Up” that steals the show. With ETC! ETC!’s expertise in the Trap game and Tight Traxx existence in the more obscure realms of Flume-esque dance production, the resulting remix is a beautifully haunting rendition of an already aurally alluring track. Rounding out the EP is Xkore’s infectious and scorching Moombhaton hybrid version of “Manage” and Protohype’s take of “All In”. Diehard fans of Firepower’s early releases will recognize Xkore’s “take no prisoners” sound design philosophy and be pleased with the result, while those waiting on Protohype’s penchant for Festival Stage smashers won’t be disappointed either.
The tracklisting is:
1. Fox Stevenson – “High Five!” (The Brig Remix)
2. Fox Stevenson – “Throwdown” (Rob Gasser Remix)
3. Fox Stevenson – “Double up” (ETC! ETC! & Tight Traxx Remix)
4. Fox Stevenson – “Manage” (xKore Remix)
5. Fox Stevenson – “All In” (Protohype Remix)
