Wow such a unique flip from Rhode Island producer Boltcutter, taking my favorite track Fire Away which is on Skrillex’s most recent album “Recess” and turning it into a groovy deep house jam! Stream or download it below!! - DJJPR
If you don't know what dubstep is, or what it sounds like, now is a great time to look into the style. It's starting to sprout all over the world, and there's no stopping a viral style of music. Go check out Bolcutter's dubstep if you're just getting a taste of this wild style. And if you already know about this genre, go listen to him anyway so that you have some new heavy bass for your sub woofers in your car. - Samuel Mountz
When we last brought you some of the sounds of teenager Riley Bradway, who produces and preforms as Boltcutter and hails from the little known and well wooded Moodus, Connecticut, this young and very talented music maker already had a solid catalog of tunes under his belt and was waiting to publish his debut release. As his first EP, Bass Candy, dropped on major media outlets right at the end of February, we are admittedly a little late on offering up our review of this three track slice of tasty bass. Released through the West Coast based 9G Records, Bass Candy has edged its way into Beatport’s top 100 electro house chart which is no small feat. - Duane Brett
With attention grabbing drums and the rawest, dirtiest synth patches around, 'Dusk' epitomizes what Boltcutter is all about. Featuring 'Drumstep' hooks and a full-time break down, 'Dusk' is a thrill ride waiting to be tackled. From Electro House to DrumNBass, this guy knows how to put together tunes that will put the dance floor into a riot! - DrumNBass.NET
This week's Artist Of The Week award goes to Boltcutter! With his outstanding mix for us (going up soon), and his newest single (The Witness) out with Help7, he has made an impression on my music library. Boltcutter is an amazing producer as well as an all around great guy. He's not a stuck up producer, he's really nice to his fans, and talks to them. The Witness is a very hard and filthy dubstep song. With parts of hardstyle inside it, it really makes you want to dance! Free Download for the win! - Alex Bradley
LACX is quietly releasing some of the toughest records I'm getting my hands on. Their release "In Da Trap! vol. 1" is jam-packed with bangers, but this one is special. The dubstep feel meshing with the trap drums just sit perfectly together. Boltcutter is from Connecticut, and help7 is from Canada. These 2 have a completely different set of influences, and released a wondrous track through a label based in Los Angeles. Trap is going worldwide. I love it. - TrapMusic.NET
Coming from the pop-rock roots I grew up listening to, electronic never ceases to blow my mind and I give the artists so much respect. When I came across 17 year old Riley Bradway of East Haddam CT, who writes and produces music under the name Boltcutter, it was no exception. His EP, New Beginnings brought a sound that I hadn’t heard before in the electronic world. For me it was the tiny details that won me over; the song titles and vocal samples propelling Boltcutter to stand out over the rest. - Ashley Novocaine
We’re getting more and more tracks that seamlessly blend genres as submissions these days, and we couldn't be happier. Especially when the unifying factor is relentless bass and mighty subs. If the adage is true that a song has 10 seconds to hook you, then this one fits that mold well, blasting beats right from the start. The middle parts are devoted to some great electro drops, featuring 4/4 time as well as breakbeats in the different sections. The final product is a very well made party jam. - House.NET
Next up we have the uber-talented Rhode Island native Boltcutter with an absolutely fierce Dubstep offering called “Ponte City”. When the tune starts up you think you’re in for some Progressive House only to quickly realize there is something much heavier up around the bend. Give this beauty a listen but be mindful if you’re operating a vehicle, you may find yourself with a speeding ticket once it gets in your blood. - AJ Bolder
New England Institute of Technology student and EDM DJ Riley Bradway, who once opened for Zeds Dead, a popular Candian DJ duo, claims EDM to be the rock n' roll of our generation. “People are reacting to it in a similar way by either loving it or hating it. Within the next ten to twenty years, I think we’ll see EDM incorporated into our music culture much like rock music is such a big part of our music culture today. Electronic music is on the rise globally, and I really don't think anything's going to be able to stop it; this is nothing like disco. The popular EDM ‘fad’ will come and go, but the die-hard fans, listeners, musicians and DJs will live for a long, long time.” - Samantha Breen
