Up-and-coming fifteen year old Ray Volpe is back with a huge glitch hop remix of Skrillex’ “The Reason” off his recent Leaving EP. Fusing Skrillex’ amazing original melodies and euphoric lyric samples to explosions of smooth-flowing dubstep-infused, Ray Volpe has made this remix sound more like something Skrillex would have produced back when his popularity was first skyrocketing. This kid is definitely one to keep and eye on in 2013. Don’t sleep on Ray Volpe.

I’ve been waiting for over a month to drop this EP and I’m glad to finally be able to present this incredible, free EP from Static Groove. The first track, ‘Put Up Yo Hand’, is a msssive, grooving glitch hop banger, with massive, filthy warped bass in there, and the same is to be said for ‘Hot Steppa’. The third track has more of a Daft Punk, Tron feel in terms of a driving electronic line that carries the piece. The climax of the EP is the title track, which is more of the trap anthem you’d be expecting from these two. This is all around the perfect EP, with a good genre balance and massive tracks. Be sure to enjoy the exclusive download and make sure to share this one around!

So Alex, what prompted you to start producing?
When I started producing music as an amateur in 2006 , Psy-trance was
very popular here in Brazil, so I began making this style of music until I was
23, then I merged into Electro-House, felt in love with it and never gave up
on it.
How did you come about producing with Conrad Funk under the name I.Y.F.F.E?
We were always internet friedns, and then one day we decided to merge our
musical knowledges as a group, but we didn’t know it would come this far to be
honest.
After winning the Seven Lions – Days To Come remix contest, you guys were
exposed to many fans and you guys gained A LOT of popularity among the
EDM world. How did you guys react when you found out that you guys won the
contest?
Yes, I.Y.F.F.E indeed got a lot of exposure by winning this contest for sure,
we won even another contest by Monstercat a while ago, so in what referees to
contests we are on a good way. Conrad and I reacted like crazy, we even had
some personal issues, but we are now ready for our tours in 2013.
What more can we expect from you in the next few months?
For Alex Mind, more into Electro House, not much big room, but still hard
and pretty complextro and Glitch Hop as well.
For I.Y.F.F.E , everything, just not Country Music or Trap.
What are your future goals as a producer?
My priorities right now is to put Alex Mind and I.Y.F.F.E as major artists
globally , with worldwide tours and releases in major labels. For the post future,
I wanna have my own mastering studio, cause I love to master and mix music,
not just electronic.
What are the challenges you face on a daily basis when producing music?
Just when the coffe is not ready or the neighbor is listening to music louder
than mine.
Many of your fans always wonder what software and hardware you use to
produce. Can you give us a brief overview?
I use Cubase 5, Soundcard MOTU Ultralite mk3, Genelec 8030a Monitors,
Oxygen89 midi controller and some UAD and Vengeance Plugins for
mastering.
You seem to collaborate among time with brazillian artists like Dirtyloud, Darth
& Vader, Ftampa. How did you guys come about collaborating?
I’m very close to the brazillian electro house crew, they are all my good friends
not just in music , but personally as well, we always help each other in what
reefers to music business. As a matter of fact , I am making new collabs with
Dirtyloud and Darth & Vader.
If there’s ever a creative difference in the studio, how do you compromise?
I just do other stuff, try to watch some TV , go to the beach, take a walk
Inspiration is not something you can control, it just comes randomly.
What is the dream show to play for you?
ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL
If you could work with any artist, who would it be?
Porter Robinson
If you could only listen to one album for a week what would it be (doesn’t have to
be EDM)?
Smashing Pumpkins – Adore
Would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses, or one horse sized duck?
I guess we could make a good duck steak with 100 duck sized horses.
I first heard these guys at Camp Bisco over the summer, and was immediately a big fan. A live album they released previously became part of my morning routine on days when I had to wake up way earlier than I wanted to, and then not fall asleep on the train to my summer job. I just saw yesterday that they had released this eP, and I have to say it is even cooler than I was expecting. These guys have some serious chops, and its very cool to hear epic guitar solos over dubstep basslines and chopped vocals. Definitely check this out. They’re way ahead of the game as far as funky bass music with live instrumentation, and you can expect more music to start sounding like this in the very near future. Enjoy!

Earlier this evening I was browsing through our inbox of song submissions from the submissions page, and came across an email from Logan pushing me to check out his friend Ray’s track. WOW! I’m glad Logan pushed this track so hard because Ray Volpe’s incredible remix of Macklemore’s platinum-selling single ‘Thrift Shop’ is just completely and utterly disgusting. Dig Macklemore? And massive amounts of non-stop bass to your face? You’re going to dig this one for sure. Crank those speakers up, turn the bass knob to MAX, and head over to Ray Volpe’s FB page to hit that “like” button as a thank you curtesy for the free download.
