I Give You: "Zedd" The Electro Genius.

For those of you who don't know of him, Zedd has been producing some of the best electro remixes in the game today. I highly encourage you go by his soundcloud and check out his remixes and original tracks.

Here are some of his productions:

BEP - The Time (Dirty Bit)

Skrillex - Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites

Zedd's Soundcloud Page

Bonus:

An Epic house track from Sander Van Doorn that is great for starting any house set. It's also just beautiful to listen to on it's own.

Intro (XX Booty Mix)

Cheers!

DJ Kiddoh

Bingo Players - Devotion (Original Mix)

I have had this song for a while now but only just gave it a real listen. Seriously dope track; minimal, yet so damn intense. Why is this not huge?

Zeds Dead - Rudeboy

Something a bit laid back for a lazy Thursday morning.

Dubstep

Will.i.am ft Nicki Minaj - Check It Out

This song has been getting some real dope remixes. Check it out!

Sofi's Broken Record (Ron Reeser Dirty Bootleg)

An interesting new take on the Deadmau5 single. Check it out!



Bonus!

John Dahlback - Sfinx

Think Congarock, laid back a bit, and meant to warm a crowd up. Enjoy

Dubstep Bass Drop #1

I won't waste your time summarizing these. They are all huge.

Enjoy!















If you don't have bass just don't even listen.

Malente & Dex - Gipsy Kings

Here is something to play right between Stereo Love and We No Speak Americano (in that order).

Check it out!

Serial Killa - Eddie K

Thank god for VT basement parties

Mightyfools - Super Summer (Sharam Jey Remix)

Uh... dirty

Hardwell and Franky Rizardo - Asteroid

Hardwell is the man: great grooves and solid trance-like lines.

There is a bit more electro than usual here but thats good.

Vegas (Angger Dimas Remix)

This kid kills it. Just listen.

Dirty house



And here is David Guetta failing at sounding like Swedish House Mafia if you are curious.

Melodic Nu-Disco!

SO into this song!

Feel good house for the beach or the mountain or just any time!

Sounds like this, which you should also enjoy:

Flight Facilities - Crave you ( Go Go Bizkitt! Remix)

Don't worry, its cool to like this song.

There is something very attractive about this girl's voice, and the production isn't half bad either.

Lounge music!

Daft Punk - Burnin' (Les Loups Remix)

This is good!

Daft Punk - Burnin' (Les Loups' Bruit Infernal Mix) by Les Loups

Sounds like all the funk of daft punk with a little disco and a little house mixed in. Fresh!

Pacific! - Narcissus (Alan Braxe Remix)

Something fresh for your ski/snowboard playlist. Expect a remix of this from me, this song has a lot of potential. Pacific! Narcissus ( Alan Braxe Remix ) OFFICAL DOWNLOAD by Vulture Music

Dirty Disco Youth - Love

Electro-tinged nu-disco. This song goes hard and yet stays funky. Notice the 'One' sample. I'm really into this.

New Far East Movement

Check it out here. Personally I think every song since "Like a G6" has been absolutely awful, but this one has some real potential (look for good remixes in like a week).

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze (Benny Benassi Remix)

OK so you are probably thinking, there is no way this song is good. How could a Jimi Hendrix remix be good?

That said, this song is a banger.

Benassi doesn't do much to Jimi, and adds some f#%^ing HEAVY synths.

seriously, cop this

New Deadmau5

What the f%^k deadmau5. I mean really. Deadmau5's sounds are consistently gamechanging, and for someone who claims to not play piano, his melodies are absurd.

Deadmau5 - Get In The Cart, Pig. by fuckmylife

Danny G is killing it. Check this post they are all bangers.

Tim Berg - Seek Bromance (Avicii's Extended Vocal Remix)

OK you should already have this song, but here is Avicii touching it up with a new edit. This one uses the vocals better in my opinion.

Damien Marley - Jamrock (Savoy Remix)

Dubstep:

Give this song a play all the way through, it really comes into its own in the second half. Also, choke back your apprehension about it being a Damien Marley remix.

Zeds Dead - Out For Blood

Dubstep, but if I heard this coming out of a '69 caddie I wouldn't be surprised. The synths remind me of early Dre.

Downlink - Emergency

Dubstep. 'Nuff said.

Ajapai - Incoming... (Taku Remix)

In my opinion, good dubstep should always be able to double as a hip hop instrumental.
Jay - Z could probably destroy this.

Avicii - Malo (SGT Slick Remix)

Not Avicii's best song, but it would be irresponsible of me to not share this.

Avicii's percussion kills it here, this song will probably be pretty big.

No Speak Americano (High Rankin's Bait Wobble Remix)

I can't tell if I am sick of this song yet because every time I get sick of it, someone remixes it and it isn't that bad.

This is as close to dubstep as you can get without being dubstep. Not sure how this would go over on an audience, but you could use it as a DJ tool for a transition to dubstep.

Dmitri Vegas, Like Mike - Under the Water (Dada Life Remix)

Dada Life continues to kill it. These guys are a great combination: they should work together more often.

Heavy electro-house song with some HUGE drops.

Dirty Money - Hello Good Morning (Erick Morillo & Eddie Thoneick Remix)

Get on this song. Seriously.

Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed (AN21 and Max Vangeli Remix)

The guys over at Salacious Songs bring you this one:

Check it out!

Nu-Disco Treats

Solid! Not too much disco, not too much house...
Tapeaters - Satellite (Ghosts Of Venice Remix) by Ghosts Of Venice

And one of my favorite songs right now... might have even blogged this already!
Treasure Finger's rework of the bassline here is fantastic.

Moombahton?

OK kiddies here is a lesson on how not to mix your songs. Maybe this is just a moombahton thing, but boosting your sub bass and screaming highs like this is a sure way to give the listener a headache.

Don Diablo ft Dragonette - Animale (Datsik Remix)

Massive dubstep from Datsik. I love this type of dubstep, where the producer doesn't f&^k with much but the bassline. In a genre that is defined by its bass, some people really forget that you don't need many fancy synths to get people's heads nodding.

Flux Pavilion - Excuse Me

Another solid jam from Flux. As usual, F.P.'s mix of huge bass and that classic dub sound is a formula for success.

together.

Bonus! A nice one for DJs looking for a mid-energy track to glue a mix together

Zombie Nation - Squeak (Bart B More)

Bart B More has been turning out really good stuff lately. Here is a solid electro-tinged house jam with that classic B More ascending bassline and big snaps (in this case snares) in the empty space.

Daft Punk - Oh Yeah! (Night Drugs Remix)

Night drugs bring a nice house groove to this classic by Daft Punk. This song carries a lot of energy: perfect for mixing into either a breakdown or a build-up.

Oh Yeah (Night Drugs Remix) - Daft Punk by Night Drugs

They just keep getting bigger...

Every time I think I have heard a song that goes hard, I hear a new one that just blows my mind. I really don't know how much further house can go, but the up-and-comers just keep bringing something fresh to the genre. Afrojack is fucking KILLING it right now. Everything he touches becomes huge.

I use the word 'huge' a lot. What I mean is that a song is 'huge' when every time you listen to it all you see in your head is lasers and strobe lights.

This song is huge. Afrojack brings that bassy sexiness to it too, so really this song is appropriate for everything from your car to an arena.

Behold,

Tocadisco - Better Run (Afrojack Remix)

Hard Rock Sofa vs. Dirty South - Let It Go

A Hard Rock Sofa bootleg for ya. This track was huge in its own right, but this mash takes a lot of parts that were mostly groove and replaced them with big-room house sounds. Good looks.

Rihanna - Who's That Chick?

David Guetta and Rihanna come together on a pretty typical peak-hour club song. I don't think there is much special about this track, but it is not something you want to sleep on, since these are two huge names and people will go crazy for this track. My prediction is this track will be big in about a month (in America).

Rolvario Scalix- Tambores Del Fuego (Dustindl Remix)

Percussion-driven electro from Dustindl, showing us that if your track doesn't have kick it doesn't have shit.

Bonus:

Christian Falero, Adrian Villaverde - Think About Me (Chris Moody Remix)

Mark Ronson ft. Boy George - Somebody to Love Me (Congarock Remix)

OK, Congarock really does his thing here. If you listen carefully this has the exact same groove as his One remix, but that is a good thing here.

I go out of my way to find high-quality samples but beware that this one sounds trans-coded (meaning someone saved a good file in a lossy format).

Keep an eye out for an edit to this post, as I will re-up this if I find a better version.

Nadia Ali - Rapture (Avicii New Generation Remix)

The man himself does it again. Avicii's remixes are usually huge arena jams, not too heavy but also not too uplifting. His mixes can be used as climaxes, build-ups, or grooves; there is just something about his use of big sounds and simplistic percussion.

Steve Angello vs. Eric Prydz - Rock n' On/Off (Pierce Fulton Edit)

Two musical giants come together on this mash-up, this is a must-have track.

Ke$ha - CUNext Tuesday

Wow this is bad.

Not sure what the CUNT reference is for, either.

This is like if Kanye produced a track for Mandy Moore, in the worst way.

Download this, listen to it twice, then never play it again.

B.O.B. - Beautiful Girl (Zedd Remix)

This guy Zedd is coming up. His sound isn't anything Chuckie or other big-room artists haven't already done, but Zedd manages to do it right every time.

B.o.B. - Nothin' On You (Zedd Remix) by Zedd

J. Rabbit - Sex Crimes

Theres been a lot of sampling of horror movies lately. I mean, I don't really understand who would want to party to the sound of some girl being murdered, but somehow it works for this track.

Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Noisia Remix)

Imagine Scary Monsters, but with all the good parts mashed together and then made even bigger:

Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Noisia Remix) by NOISIA

Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites

Skrillex does it BIG

Dem Slackers - Lets Go (Bart B More Remix)

Bart B More brings it hard (think Boys Noize, a bit less electro, a bit more progressive). Get into this guy before he blows up!



Bonus!

Brap! (Original Mix) - Bart B More

Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike - Deeper Love

Fans of Unleash the Fucking Dada will appreciate this remix by Tommy Trash.

Listen/Download Dimitiri Vegas and Like Mike - Deeper Love (Tommy Trash RMX)

I Look To You ('96 Bulls Remix) - Miami Horror

Miami Horror has this interesting 80's lounge-music thing going on, which I personally don't like, but has lead to some amazing remixes.

This latest one comes from the French group (I know the French are assholes but think Pheonix/Daft Punk) '96 Bulls.

'96 Bulls brings a nu-disco/house feel to the song and I can't get enough. Perfect summer song if you are already thinking that far ahead.

Miami Horror - I Look To You ('96 Bulls Remix) by '96 Bulls

Download

Gucci Mane - Lemonade (Heroes and Villans Remix)

Tight dubstep remix of the Gucci hit. Tasteful use of the original song with some heavy-metal sounding dubstep added to the mix; big drops!

Download

Rock n' Rave (Steve Angello)

Off of Angello's upcoming mixtape, this song sounds like a mad-scientist cross-breed between 'Sandstorm' by Darude and 'Sofi Needs a Ladder' by Deadmau5. In fact, Angello directly rips off that deep train whistle that Deadmau5 uses on the build up.

p.s. this song is enormous and will be all over the place very soon. Listen now before you get sick of hearing it.

Tim Berg - Seek Bromance (Porter Robinson Remix)

Exactly how an electro/glitch remix of this song should sound. Remix of a mashup?

Blue Skies (Flux Pavilion Remix)

Props to Nick Sozio for first spotting this one.

Some fresh new Flux Pavilion for your weekend.

Enjoy!

Where You Are (Steve Angello Edit)

To be honest I have never heard of any of these guys except Angello, but this song kills it.

If you are wondering why this song is so good, its because it is mixed perfectly. The bass is tight, the synths are huge, and the vocals are sparse.

This tune is HUGE

Tittsworth – 911 (Dillon Francis Remix)

Oh my!

This is exactly what I've been into lately. Heavy-ass electro.

I like the use of a dubstep synth on a house track, doubt this will be the last song we hear in this style.

CHECK IT!

Waka Flocka - O Lets Do It

I like hip hop dubstep remixes because essentially they are just hip hop with more of everything.

I'm not a fan of ATL rap in general, but Flocka's verses are perfect for this kind of beat.

Da Graveyard

I've had this album for a long time, but only heard this song recently.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFHkNRjSVpA

Album: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TLNCF0SU

This song blew my mind. The classic boom-bap new york beat, Big L, Lord Finesse, and f*ckin' Jigga before anyone knew who he was. Everyone's verse is classic, and if your head doesn't nod to this you don't like hip hop.

Someone needs to bring this type of hip hop back.

Arena jams you should know

If you listen to house music you know that some jams are 'bigger' than others.

In my opinion the biggest producers out right now are also the most popular:

Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, and Chuckie.

These guys consistently make larger-than-life tracks; listen to these loud...

I like how this remix adds a second drop and some groove to Leave the World Behind, it was exactly what the original was missing:

More soon!

Sexy Vocals

I'm usually not a huge fan of having vocals of any kind on a track, but I can't ignore the vocal hooks people have been turning out recently. Nothing kills it more than a sexy female vocalist.

To prove this point here are some of my recent favorites:

Hyper Crush - Ayo (Disco Fries Remix)

This song is hard-as-f*ck. Gotta love that half-time breakdown.

Listen

Download

On the other end of the spectrum is Laidback Luke's remix of 'Dirty Talk' by Wynter Gordon (feat. David Guetta).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXKWweYOfG0

Laidback Luke nails it with some intense side-chaining and chopped-up vocals.

Download

I'm of the opinion that all of Inna's songs sound the same, but that may not be such a bad thing.

Plus, she is pretty hot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nng_2KWF-Rk

'Love' is probably her most catchy hook so that is what I am featuring here, but other worthy mentions are 'Hot' and 'Deja Vu'.

Hot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ajJ43siTwo

First Post

As some people may know, I collect music and follow several genres religiously. As I have been playing out more and exposing people to my music taste, I have been getting a lot of questions like 'where do you find your music?' and 'can you send me some dope songs?'. This blog is meant to answer both of those questions.

Basically, I get my music from a combination of blogs, friends, DJs, radio shows, and chance.

What I'm going to do for the people who want to follow my music tastes is post songs here that I stumble upon, and also throw up some oldies-but-goodies that I have sitting on my hard drive.

In doing this I will try not to be a dick and rip off other blogs' posts, so I will give credit where credit is due... but if you find that following 10 blogs doesn't suit you I suggest you just tune in here once in a while for some fresh music.
