Review:
It's a bold move for both Metric and Skrillex as OWSLA expands its repertoire to include techno and electro. Metric is clearly in fine fettle throughout as we're treated to "Prophecies", a sprightly, neon riff that's almost 8-bit in its innocent make up. The golden vibes continue as "Motion Study" oozes a similar positive flavour thanks to a shimmering hook that looks nowhere but up. "Rave Weapon" counters these uplifting sessions with a hard-assed percussive groove that borders techno and breakbeat with heads down distinction. The remixes are all high scorers, too: Aeroplane steals the show with his incredible down-pitched rub, UZ remix create rave chaos and Mike Starr strips it back nice and sleazy.

Review:
With previous on Dim Mak, Ministry Of Sound and Black Sun Empire, Alvin's short-but-successful discography is impeccable. Landing on Skrillex's OWSLA is only going to bolster this consistent rep. Especially when it's as big and bold and end-of-night as this. Leading with a well-polished hook that takes reference from the 80s style of vocal production, we're then thrown into a classic OWSLA drop that's as devastatingly low as it is screamingly high. The perfect combo. Lighters up!

Review:
Prepare yourself for an epic adventure into contemporary bass music in this exuberant and expansive EP from Birdy Nam Nam on Skrillex's very own label, the inimitable OWSLA. Kicking off the ten-track EP is the original mix of "Jaded Future" which is all pitched up, twisted vocals, murmuring b-line and heavy, almost purple wow like synths. Needless to say, Foreign Beggars shake things up with some raw aggression and streetwise lyricism, whilst Pelican Fly adds an altogether different flavour to the proceedings. "Going In" blends pounding stabs and ominous vocals, which Skrillex himself transforms into a party piece in his "Going Hard" and "Going Down" remixes. Then we have the glorious "Cadillac Dreams" which gets remixed by Culprate and Soufien 3000.

Review:
NYC producer Heartbreak serves up a handsome EP which could easily pass as a full album. Ranging from grimy, industrial-strength dancehall trap ("Yardcore Pressure") to all-out hoover-hurling hardstyle ("Beast Mode"), Heartbreak has ticked every OWSLA box and plenty more. Those looking for acid quirkiness head to the "Access" sampling "Acid Youths". Those hungry for a lighters-up moment, jump on "Raindrops". If this is just "The Foundation", who knows what EDM towers Heartbreak is about to build on top of it? Massive.

Review:
OWSLA keep getting more and more interesting - unpredictable yet consistent, a wealth of creativity and genre-mangling abounds on every release Skrillex has commissioned of late. Here we find electrofolk act Hundred Waters brewing up a cauldron of dreams that sounds somewhere between Clark and Bjork. Remix-wise Blood Diamonds get on a similar surging, melodic halfstep vibe to Photek, Brillz opts for a more euphoric glitch trip and Phantoms gets seriously cosmic. Ending the show are, remarkably, two Ninja Tune faves Daedalus and Teebs. The former stretches out elements for the trippiest rendition possible while the latter gets so ambient the only drum work you can hear are the glistening hi-hats. Mesmerising.

Review:
UK duo Jack Beats have been making killer floorfillers for some years now, mixing a variety of styles from UK bass to electro-house, rave and dubstep. Now they've rustled up a mini album featuring some oldies-but goodies and top-notch collaborations. The title track features Tempura and is real anthemic stadium-dance fare. The mighty Diplo and Example both appear on the bizarre marching-band-meets-wobble-bassline "War" and Dillon Francis appears on the quirky piano-led "Epidemic". Sounds like Jack Beats will be around for a long time yet!

Review:
Heralding a new series of releases for the London bass-loving duo, "Somebody To Love" is guaranteed to thaw out the coldest of heart cockles. Delicately dressed with spell-binding vocal work from Jess Mills, it's got all the right elements; a full strength synth hook, squelchy bass and an undeniable anthem vibe. Elsewhere we get raucous with the underground bassline banger "Just A Beat", we drop the tempo and get glitch-wise with the Chiddy Bang-fronted "About To Get Fresh" and we reach for the lasers and shiver with raw emotion on both "Knock You Down" and "Storm". Complete with instrumentals, this is Jack Beats at their most comprehensive.

Review:
Any walls remaining between glitch, disco, funk, bass and cosmic disco have been completely razed. And it's all down to Kill Paris. Rocking a cocksure vibe that falls somewhere between Pretty Lights and Koan Sound at their cheekiest. "Slap Me" is the most psychedelic of the set, "Catch You" unwittingly captures the TOTP2 vibe and brings it into tomorrow's world while the title track rolls out on of the most lavish cosmic disco basslines this side of Norway. There's all manner of fantastic remixes on offer, too. OWSLA aren't missing a trick right now.

Review:
Glitch, nufunk and, to a lesser extent, moombahton's influence on dubstep has been something of a breath of fresh air... And few people in the UK maintain the fine balance of funk, party and gritty agro quite as well as Koan Sound. Serious leftfield business executed with humour and crisp production values, Skrillex's OWSLA would've been insane not to snap this up. Ranging from wide-arsed bass-bitten blockrockers ("80s Fitness" and "Eastern Thug") to bright, breezy and super-spinetingly breakbeat ("Introvert"), this is, without argument, Koan Sound's most accomplished EP to date.

Review:
A natural fit on Skrillex's OWSLA label, Australian electro-breaks star makes his debut on the label with the Tupac-recalling, California-lovin' "Like Boom" featuring rappers Wizard Sleeve, NFA and Kaba Jones. Elsewhere on this ten-track release, Thayer breaks out the distortion and hyper edits on the charged dubstep of "Haters Gonna Hate" and "Facepalm" while "Totalitaria" boasts some explosive, almost jazz-influenced rhythms underneath a sea of wonky leads. Keeping to his breaks roots, "Top of The World" is bound to keep heads nodding as will the gnarled funk of "Rise Up".

Review:
Absurdly talented for a man of only 19 years of age, Porter Robinson has released huge electro/dubstep originals for Deadmau5's Mau5trap imprint, remixed Pendulum and now drops his first full-length EP on Skrillex's nascent OWSLA label. The epic drop of the slow-building opener "Spitfire" sees Robinson launch the EP just the right way - with plenty of shape shifting, tempo swapping dubstep stutters - while the more dancefloor friendly "Unison" takes over straight after with a storm of trancey leads and chords. This form of dubstep-electro hybrid serves him well on stand out tune "Vandalism" too, while mixes from Kinife Party, Mikkas, Skism and Kill The Noise only intensify the range of heavy wobbles on offer on this huge release.

Review:
OWSLA get heady on a major Dutch vibe as Showtek and Noisecontrollers show the label a whole new secret turbo button. Fusing uncompromising hardstyle with crisp electro/trance hooks, "Get Looses" treads the finest line between blissed out and utterly absurd. "Get Loose" when the beat drops? You bet your bottom Euro you will; this is next level mental.

Review:
Sub Focus is on fire at the moment. Hot on the heels of his last release on Ram comes his next offering; this time a dubstep number on none other than man of the moment Skrillex's very own label, Owsla. "Falling Down" is a vocal-driven slab of filth with Kenzie May on vocal duties, trance-inspired synths, euphoric builds and juddering synths. Mid range warps and smashing snares add to the furore and will no doubt cause a riot on the dancefloor. Make sure you check the pounding xKore remix with its squeaky synth manipulations, as well as the 4/4 Nick Thayer re-lick plus the VIP version of the original. All are excellent.

Review:
Place 2B and Paimon have gone from 0-60 in 0.2 dubs. Reinventing themselves on Bad Taste with a heavy D&B sound, then spurting their sonic load over tempo territory possible, they've now landed on Skrillex's huge OWSLA imprint. In-keeping with the label's exciting unpredictability, here we find them blending trap/ghetto attitude with their trademark bass ugliness. "What Do You See In Me?" is a peaktime shudder-stomper with a simple-but-deadly riff and hype-hungry 808 beats, while "I Don't Know" goes further down the trap route with some Dirrty South style bass misbehaving. Finally we hit "Toys Riot"; Closer to dubstep in its make-up, it's caked in so much bulletproof drama you'll be raiding the nearest toy shop within seconds of hearing it.

Review:
A little-known DJ/production trio from San Francisco, M Machine are set to go astronomical having been signed to Skrillex's OWSLA label. The first part of two scheduled releases, Metropolis Pt. 1 is a hard-wearing set of steroid-popping electro bangers, like opening tune "Immigrants", shuffle-beat riser "Deep Search" and the oceanic pop of "Faces". More subtle than their label boss, yet still able to pack a mighty wallop.

Review:
Upfront electro madness from German producer Zedd on this single track release from OWSLA, as the heavy-hitting beatmaker brings out some mean combinations of kicks and crunch-bass, often worked into one solid, pounding note arranged in a brutal Bmore style. Having just taken on remixing Skrillex's hook up with The Doors (yes, you read that right), Zedd's star couldn't be higher at present.
