| DJ EZ FabricLive.71 | 4.3 |
| Jessy Lanza Pull My Hair Back | 2.5 |
| Tonight Alive The Other Side | 3.5 |
| While not quite as strong as What Are You So Scared Of?, Tonight Alive knows what the hell they're doing and does it well. Also, inevitable mention of Jenna blah blah blah |
| Banks London | 4.0 |

| well this sounds just about like we'd expect it to sound, except watered down immensely |
| Crying Get Olde | 4.0 |
| BT A Song Across Wires | 2.5 |
| Not nearly as bad as I was expecting from the teaser for "Letting Go," one of the worst songs on the album. I mean, it's still BT, and it's still beautifully produced, but at this point in the "EDM craze" all this stuff has kinda been done before, y'know? |

| Would 4.2 this hard if I could. Basically, my favorite dubstep of the year so far. The jazz lives on! |

| I See Stars Renegades Forever | 1.5 |
| Tracks were so bad even fuckin' Mutrix couldn't do anything with them |
| Alvin Risk Junkfood | 1.5 |
| So much for Mr. Risk. This EP's aiming for all-out - as potentially evidenced by the all-caps song titles - and achieves none of it. Cliche in the worst way. still better than knife party tho |

| Daft Punk Random Access Memories | 3.0 |

| The Wonder Years The Greatest Generation | 4.0 |
| Anamanaguchi Endless Fantasy | 4.0 |
| Review forthcoming. TL;DR: Chiptune that doesn't feel quite as gimmicky as it probably should. Some seriously excellent hooky guitar lines with some solid instrumentation show why Anamanaguchi are leaders in the "chip-punk" (god, that's a bad name) scene. |
| Captain, We're Sinking The Future Is Cancelled | 4.5 |
| Knife Party Haunted House | 1.0 |
Oh this will be enjoyable I'm sure, if the utterly horrible "EDM Death Machine" is any
indication
EDIT: I guess I was right! |
| Tectonic Tectonic Plates Volume 4 | 3.5 |
| Armin van Buuren Intense | 2.5 |
| This album fulfills so many trance stereotypes it's not even funny. That's not really a good thing, and immaculate production can't save it from being painfully average. |
| Chance the Rapper Acid Rap | 4.0 |
| The Upbeats Primitive Technique | 3.5 |
| ShockOne Universus | 3.5 |
| Gozu The Fury Of A Patient Man | 4.0 |
| SP:MC Declassified | 3.0 |
| Well, whoop-de-doo, more SP:MC. The production is massive, but the fact that this brings absolutely nothing new to the table whatsoever doesn't really help its cause. Would 2.8 this if I could |

| Flux Pavilion Blow The Roof | 2.0 |
| Naibu Fall | 4.5 |
| TTNG 13.0.0.0.0 | 4.0 |
| I don't think I've heard a safer contender for Album Of The Year in quite some time. Of course, that doesn't mean this is bad - it's a contender for album of the year, after all. It just feels like TTNG have their brand of clean math-rock down to such an art that they can make incredible songs like "Havoc In The Forum" and "I'll Take The Minute Snake" sound so easy. Which, I suppose, is a testament to the achievements of the band in general, and that they can make such good music so effortlessly is inspiring. This is a great album, and anyone with ears for guitar in 2013 should give it a chance. |

| Anberlin Vital | 4.0 |
| Reso Check 1, 2 | 3.5 |
| You can't deny the production quality on this one. While Reso doesn't exactly cater to his fans from the Valken EP, the song is a tantalizing taste of the album to come and I look forward to what Reso has to offer in a month. |
| Chipzel Fragments | 3.2 |
| Zedd Clarity | 2.0 |
| Boys Noize Out Of The Black | 3.0 |
| It's unfortunate to think that Boys Noize has lost whatever made him fun on Oi Oi Oi with the release of Out Of The Black. Sure, it's technically sound, and it's still kinda enjoyable, with a trademark Boys Noize spin on things - it's just not as fun as I know Boys Noize can be. While this isn't a bad album, it's most certainly a step back from Oi Oi Oi, and that step back turns out to be highly unfortunate. |
| Love and Light Level Up | 3.5 |
| S.P.Y What The Future Holds | 4.0 |
| S.P.Y shows why his meteoric rise to fame is justified with a solid - albeit long - collection of DnB tunes. |
| Carly Rae Jepsen Kiss | 3.4 |
| Ex Friends No Wonder We Prefer The Dark | 3.5 |
| Plastician Start Select Reset | 3.5 |
| DJ Hazard FabricLive.65 | 4.0 |
| Hazard's always been a legend in the jungle world, and his skill with a simple single-deck setup is shown here. It succeeds where most mixes don't in that it actually brings a live, energetic feel instead of just fading tracks into each other. |

| Linkin Park Living Things | 2.0 |
| I listen to this and the only thing I can think of to describe it is "hella vapid." It's just not interesting, although some of the second half is quite nice |
| Athletics Who You Are Is Not Enough | 4.0 |
| Icarus the Owl Love Always, Leviathan | 4.0 |
| Krewella Play Hard | 3.0 |
| Swindle Do The Jazz | 3.5 |
| Swindle has some of the funkiest, jazziest dubstep out there and Do The Jazz does not disappoint. His almost-unique spin on the genre is one not to be ignored, and the single/EP does quite well because of it. |
| Knife Party Rage Valley | 2.0 |
| Delta Heavy Down the Rabbit Hole | 2.5 |
| A lot of bad stuff here. Sure, it's fun bad stuff, but it's still bad stuff. |
