Onward and Upward

As my departure across the pond to España, I get more and more excited in the fact that I will be in quite the city in terms of influence over electronic music. And what better way to vent that positive energy than through a little EP review and some mixes:



Skrillex came out with his new EP "Bangarang". As much as everyone loves Skrill, I was a little bit indiferent about this EP. I thought that this was going to be a really agressive and hard hitting EP; but in all honesty, I find only these two songs (as well as Breakin' a Sweat which I wrote about like a month ago when it came out with those other cool Hyundai sponsored collabo's) worth while:





In other news, fellow OSWLA minion, Zedd, has come out with another mothership mix. This one is an hour and a half long and is tied in together throughout so perfectly. I am always pumped when they give him the hour slot on Electric Area to do his thing like this. May not be too good for me in terms of inducing speeding on the highway but in terms of good jams, these mixes this guy comes up with are very kosher:

I was waiting for somebody to remix John Dahlback's instant classic, Are You Nervous. Well now that wait is over. Up and comer on the Spinning Records as well is Rene Amesz's killer rework:



Now lets turn it up a notch on the proverbial energy knob. R3hab has been clearly very merry this holiday season and has given us a remix of Steve Aoki's signature early track I'm in the House as well as a little preview to his upcoming remix of Far East Movement's record, Jello. Both these tracks need to be on the naughty list. Just deep mean dirty remixes that would even make the grinch blush:
