'Ello 'ello TTG, the name's Nathan, I'm new around here, but I've hopped straight onto the music subsection because music is my all-time favourite past-time. Sometimes I just sit there and look for music for hours on end, over time I've built up a decent collection of songs & artists to follow, and I'd like to share these with you. I'll proceed to list artists as well as songs from them that I find to be their best. Anything I list will range from hardcore dubstep, to just some good calming EDM.

I'll be linking soundcloud links here, if you're unaware of soundcloud, it's a music platform where artists/labels upload music in 320kbps (usually) for people to stream. You can sign in and follow artists, repost their songs or albums/EPs, and even upload your own music if you're up for it.

ak9 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

One of my favourite dubstep artists of all time. He releases a lot of music and is signed under the record label DUSTLA. His popularity is ever-growing and he has a good variety of music, from dubstep, to trap and even a hardstyle song. The great thing is despite moving into different sub-genres, he doesn't stray from what you'd call his "style".

Cash Cash [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Despite the sell-out-esque name, these three guys make some of the most melodic, yet somehow crazy music you've ever heard. They always maintain their signature style, and unlike ak9, I don't think they've ever released a song I dislike. Some you may not like, but you will never find yourself going "Oh God this is bad" when it comes to a Cash Cash song. Their best, possibly most famous song Overtime is so catchy, you'll find yourself singing it in your spare time.

Maor Levi [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

This guy is here for all your electro needs. Whenever I'm in the electro mood it's straight to Maor Levi's soundcloud. While his songs are a hit or miss, the ones that hit you hit hard. He's got his finger in a bit of everything, from melodic house to some crazy dubstep-inspired electro.

Candyland [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Candyland, another male duo, definitely make some unique music. While they usually drift between hardcore electro & dubstep, they've touched on some big room, and every so often make "OG" remixes. While I'd recommend staying away from the OG remixes, but they're simply not my taste, you may like what I don't. Candyland is definitely a duo somebody already acustom to the more alternative style of dubstep would enjoy listening to.

Dogblood [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Dogblood is actually two big-name artists collaborating under one name, Skrillex & Boys Noize. Now-now, before you start thinking "0mg sqrillex n0", he's releasing under an alternate name for a reason. This is all very alternate forms of electronic, and definitely takes time to grow on you. It's like nothing Sonny Moore has released under the "Skrillex" persona, and is quite different to Boyz Noize's usual style. If you're after something a little different, check them out.

Alright, that's it for now. If people like my taste, I'll definitely add a bunch of new artists to the list (I have plenty more, trust me, not running short here). And others should definitely add to the list if they know of a great artist that doesn't get the popularity he/she/they deserve.
