Backdraft - The Headcharge Remixes
This is the tune that started it all for us here at Downbeat. So after years of it sitting dormant, we decided to give it a major shock back to life. Below you'll hear some killer breaks and dubstep remixes along with a newly mastered original.
Backdraft - Headcharge (Re-Mastered Original)

Here is the original version with an updated mastering job. Rolling out the bass, big-time! This tune is straight forward and to the point. It's all about the driven aspect and full on energy throughout the track which will have the clubs jumping.
Backdraft – Headcharge (Backdraft VIP Dubstep Mix)

Stepping back into their original, Backdraft come forth with a stunning VIP remix of true monstrous proportions. Starting off with skippy beats as a cowboy showdown melody comes in slinging it's flex, this intro is made for smooth mixing. Just as that ends, the body rushes in with a punch heavier than Tyson! Rugged, raw and grinding, the bass growls like nothing you've ever heard before. Devastation is the key in this massive dubstep re-working which is armed to the teeth!
Backdraft – Headcharge (Ribs & IG88 Remix)

Taking the original break and adding a nice new kick drum over top, this piece of electro-breaks madness runs ruff n steady from start to finish. The main bass lead is large and twisted with some slick in between elements that jump in and out. Great energy and change throughout the entire track as it rolls out nice and rugged. Especially loving the last drop where the original bassline gets used in between their electro fueled bass work. Top form all the way on this rowdy time remix as it rides out big!
Backdraft – Headcharge (Eskmo’s Remix)

Taking a crazy ride into what can be best described as a mutant musical, Eskmo delivers something completely different and fresh. This oddly awesome take on the original sounds like some sort of monster stomping around drugged out of it’s mind. As the bass rumps and wiggles through, many other elements are placed all over to create a very interesting sound. This is a new and fresh style in the dubstep era that really works in a very unique way. In a vein all it's own, this one will absolutely stand out in any set.
Backdraft – Headcharge (D-Ranged Remix)
Clip:

Taking a lot of the original elements, but totally tweaking them to the max, D-Ranged gives his all on this killer remix. Peak time ruggedness is what you get when this tunes jumps off into a tweaking bass devastation ride out. Loads of automation is used to bend and pull the bass before you hit the big switch up section that drops big low-end bass thumps to add a bit of bounce to the track. Lastly, and my favorite section of the remix, you are into the last drop where things get really heavy and driven. Massive, big and unique, this one does the damage.
