Erol Alkan's Simple, Yet Effective Edit Of SebastiAn

Unfortunately, I haven't been feeling some of the edits Erol Alkan's been putting out lately, however I'm really feeling this remix he did for SebastiAn's "Momy." Erol Alkan adds his "simple, yet effective" sound which can be heard in all his edits. He gave this song just what it needed. Enjoy!

Trump This

Hun, being the intro track for Mr. Oizo's new album was calm, funny, and a nice start to a great album, but when Trumpdisco was done with it it became a beast of an electronic song. Although they haven't done too much yet this is probably my favorite so far. They're definitely quickly on their way to becoming one of my favorite artists.

Luke Fly Walker

There's no really efficient way of counting, but I'd be willing to bet that DJ Barletta is our most blogged about artist at this point. He's always got something new for us to sink our teeth in to, and I just can never resist posting it. I just recently found about this track he did with Kid Cranberry called "Flywalker". They made the track before he was with Van Helder as Mansion so I don't know why it's only getting out now, but it's a really tight, fun track. People often say Barletta tends to sound similar to Crookers and I'm kinda on and off with agreeing on that. Sometimes I see it sometimes I don't, but on this track I definitely get it.

At Last. . . CORNELIUS!

Let me just say when I saw the video clip Dim Mak and the Bloody Beetroots put out for this newly released EP, I flipped out. The Bloody Beetroots have lately been bringing nothing but heavy electro music. Whether its their originals, remixes or live shows the Bloody Beetroots continue to impress me. Cornelius is definitely one of the heaviest songs they've put out for a while and you'll definitely find it on my most fancied this month. You can check out the EP on iTunes. Enjoy!

Something To Make You Shake It

Hostage and AC Slater come together for an epic clash of huge basslines and intense beats. Both of these men are masters of heavy fidget/electro, and I've been wondering what a clash of their sounds may sound like. The remix is slightly slow for either of them, but it's certainly not missing out on the crazy basslines they both provide on all their efforts. The piano reminds me somewhat of "Baggy Bottom Boys". Loved 'em in that song, ad love 'em again here. Listen to this one loud.

N.A.S.A.

RCRD LBL just seems to always be giving out some great mp3 or another. You can often find the biggest artists of the moment giving away their freshest track on RCRD LBL. This time The Count of Monte Cristal AKA Hervé gives N.A.S.A.'s "Money" a tweak. You find me a Hervé remix that doesn't make you want to jump around and I will... I'll... I'll be very very surprised. This one of course is no different. Hervé knows how to remix. It's as simple as that.

On a related note... I never posted this one just cause I was too lazy pretty much, but now that I'm on the topic anyway, here you go!

I Got Friends in High Places

I have friends right now who are producing some hot shit. My friend Shane Silver who I put up his remix of focker which was fucking nuts has been producing some really housy shit recently and I have to say it is ace. He sent me one of his new originals called "Crab Nebula" which sounds like what a three way with between Dubfire, Style of Eye, and Patrice Baumel would be like. The track is insanely hot. Next I have a new track of my friend Sam Horn who did a remix of Kid Dub's "Tetris" which blew the Tocadisco remix to pieces. I have dropped that remix in a number of sets and it is just massive. I also have a new original of his, "Crypto," which is much more housy and toned down but still has a super strong energy. If I heard Tiga play this I would not be surprised because this track is fucking sick. Also I have finished a new acid house inspired track called "Acid State of Mind" which pays homage to my acid influences and the great track my Maurice, "This is Acid." I know you will enjoy these tracks as much as I did.

My Style Is 2 Legit

We don't show love to too many rappers on this blog, but someone you may have seen is Hollywood Holt. His new single hit iTunes (and other official music retailers) a few days ago, and it's pretty dope. The single as I saw it did not feature any remixes on it officially, but a few have sprouted up and I found two I thought really did the track justice. I gotta give props to Sammy Bananas; he's probably the most fun remixer out there at the moment. His stuff isn't always the most complex intense electro-bass stuff, but it always makes you wanna dance and have a good time. The second remix comes from Willy Joy who I know absolutely nothing of, but the remix is pretty chill.

Nice bouncy, fun track. Could see people really digging this one on the dancefloor. Teen Wolf's vocals work very nicely.
