Tuesday Night Grundge

Today has been quite the day between two exams and a presentation it's time to unwind to some deep bass and dirty beats. Tommy Trash, Kasakade, and R3hab with the remedy for electro remixes... per usual. More huge remixes and tracks to be released this week so stay tuned.

Trash giving us what seems to be almost a weekly monster track or remix. Well he's at it again with the remix to Zedd's Shave It. Tommy Trash is calling it The Aftershave which is very fitting for the sound of this track. It's deep, grundgy, rough, and definitely should be played after 5 o'clock:



Speaking of Zedd's big track Shave It, Kaskade has come out with a remix of it today too. It has a similar deep grundgy bass but more of a big room sound to it. Nonetheless still a great remix.



R3hab has also been on a rampage lately pumping out tracks. Remixing Benassi tracks are never easy just on the account that the originals are usually pretty huge. But R3hab definitely conquers this remix of Close to Me:

Procrastination Proclimation

As the books and term papers pile up, I find myself just cranking up the tunes to avoid the looming torture of all nighters. Or as they say in Fubar, "Turn up the good and turn down the suck". The good beats definitely ease the stress of school work... just give it a try for yourself:


New song from Afrojack named Lionheart, does not let us down as electro fans. But then again, when has Afrojack ever let us down?





** Just as a disclaimer the rest of this post is just a goodie bag of some older tracks if you will. Deal with it:

Un Domingo Perezoso

Today has been a pretty quiet and slow day for both me personally as well as the EDM scene. So to keep things interesting I have a couple old jams as well as a couple cool videos to check out. Bingo Players is becoming my new favorite electro duo, and someone needs to buy me a Reactable... STAT:



Bingo Players have a new song featuring the King of Crunk Lil Jon called Mode. I laughed to myself a little when I saw Lil Jon was in on it. But this song is no joke, the drop is bound to destroy some dance floors. And to add a little extra Bingo Players to your life I'll also threw in a older track Cry Just a Little which has some of the best use of samples to date:








Madeon and Porter Robinson did a gig at The Webster for halloween last weekend and from reading reviews it sounded like the two teenagers tore the place down. Here are a couple of tracks these two electro prodigies played during their sets:



  Bombs Away - Big Booty Bitches (Dirty Loud Remix) by potheadsloth



Someone over the weekend showed what seems to be the future of DJ technology with the Reactable and Emulator decks. I love from the looks of it the future of Electronic Music, game changing shit:






To give a little balance to the post, check these guys out called C2C. All vinyl, all old school, all awesome scratching:

Earful of a Weekend

Whole lot of releases between yesterday and today to kick off your weekend. All high energy and heavy hitting to ensure you have a good time this weekend. So lets get to it, bailemos!


Deadmau5 finally has released another track after he came out with Where's My Keys? and Professional Griefers with this new jam Aural Psynapse. It's got that trademarked Deadmau5 kind of build to it and I'm diggin it:



Monkey See Monkey Do by Tommy Trash got released on Rising Music yesterday. Dude is on fire, can't wait for Ohrwurm and his remix of Shave It! to come out later this week:



Adele has quite the voice and so it wasn't any surprise that Thomas Gold and Mark Mendes would Someone Like You and they do not dissapoint:



Franz Novotny is one of those up and coming deep electro artist that right now is pumping out tracks like he works in a beat factory rather than a studio. Crunch is his newest product and it sure is chunky:

Una Vista Nueva

Next semester I'm am taking a big leap and going across the pond for a semester abroad in Barcelona. So as I begin to adjust to the Spanish and European lifestyle I figured my blog should too. The new look and title don't mean necesarrily a new type of blog (though there will be a heavier emphasis on real house music than before). So here is to new beginnings, salud, amor, y dinero, y house music:



Dada Life has finally released their remix of Big Bad Wolf. Thank god because quite frankly the original doesn't really impress me. This remix definitely gives energy to the track it was originally missing:

  Duck Sauce - Big Bad Wolf (Dada Life Remix) by djarmpitcantina


A new tech-house remix from Rockwell digs up a blast from the past track in Alicia Keys' Fallin. Who would have thought this song would have ever become relevent again? It's really rewarding to hear once again DJ's focusing on remixing songs the include some older but really amazing vocals such as those of Alicia Keys:




Koan Sound got a little publicity on Rolling Stones last week which was well deserved for the duo. Under Skrillex's OSWLA, these guys have dropped this crazy fun track Funk Blaster. The title describes the song perfectly:

Whomp Wednesday Vol. 5

I guarantee some headaches and whiplash for this week's wobble bass day. Been saving up a few monstrous tracks all week and it has taken every ounce of energy within me not to post some of these dubstep future-anthems. But now the fury can be unleashed... so watch yourself:

The collaboration between Skrillex and The Doors has been long awaited but is now open to the public for extensive whomping. Never thought such a collaboration was possible but once again I am proved wrong with this new track, Breaking a Sweat:



Delta Heavy is coming on the drum&bass scene pretty rapidly and this new track Overkill is putting them in the right direction towards dubstep stardom:




This High Rankin' remix of 501's Somewhere in Time is about a year old but I was reminded of it during The Crystal Method's "Community Service" radio cast on Electric Area the other week. Its a classic and definitely worth digging up out of the older files:




I know halloween has come and gone but this Figure track Werewolf is still very very appropriate, and another track worth replaying... a spooky good song:

Teasing Tuesday

Today marks the beginning of a new month and so I decided I ought pay tribute to the upcoming tracks that will be huge upon release this month. Some of these teasers we all know will be huge simply because of the big name artists behind them, but a couple may surprise you. So keep your robot ears open and enjoy:


Don't Let the System Control You by Reset! is a fun deep electro song that I think will be big in clubs all around North America if everything is right in the EDM world. I'm hooked on this teaser and I'm sure the actual song with be even more addictive:

   RESET! - Don't Let The System Control You (PREVIEW) by RESET!


Tommy Trash is just refusing to go into the shadows as of late. He is demanding the respect of the entire EDM scene as one of the premiere dj's with his killer new tracks as well as remixes, and I've already teased you with Ohrwurm which comes out this month. But he also is dropping a remix of Zedd's single Shave It as well as a new original track Monkey See Monkey Do. I'm waiting for the day when this guy makes a metiocre track... that day may never come:

   Zedd - Shave It (Tommy Trash Remix) by tommytrash

R3hab has been destroying some remixes lately of big name tracks that few believed could be successfully remixed. Many dj's are wary of remixing monster tracks because they are so good to begin with that it's challenging to make it any better. R3hab however has blown over tracks such as Calvin Harris's Bounce or his collaborative remix with Swanky Tunes of Tiesto's Maximal Crazy. Well he's at it again jumping on Sebastion Ingrosso & Alesso's track Calling. Here's a recent live RIP of the track, I wish I was in So-Cal  to hear this song in person:







*** I realize it's pretty cruel to give a bunch of teasers without the satisfaction of a full track to jam to. So to ease the distress these teasers cause here is a new release by Adam K & BT called Tomohawk. It's a great trance-electro hybrid, but if you're too impatient to enjoy the build of trance, go to the 3:10 mark where the song drops, you won't be dissapointed:
