Holiday Break


Sorry we've been posting more infrequently, Christmas break is leaving us away from our computers more. To make up for it, I have two great songs for the midweek. First up is a sick dubstep remix of Florence and the Machine by Revolvr. The remix absolutely murders the original with some sick synth and of course even a little bass. I also give you Tocadisco's progressive Levels remix. Can't ever complain about more ways to listen to this song.


You've Got The Love (Revolvr Remix)-Florence And The Machine

Levels (Tocadisco Bootleg)-Avicii

In Flux


On the penultimate Christmas Eve I have a really solid Flux Pavillion song for you. Short and to the point. Enjoy


Internet Connection- Flux Pavillion

Bangarang EP


Looks like Christmas came a little early this year. Skrillexs new EP dropped today and it is amazing. I thought there would be more than 7 tracks, but the ones he decided to include are great (why no Voltage?). Saus Baus might have a different selection but here are my top three tracks.

To start off I'm going to say Summit (aka Breathe) is the best song for sure. I had no idea Ellie Goulding was the person singing. I really wish Skrillex would make more electro tracks like this.

9/10

Summit (Feat. Ellie Goulding) - Skrillex


My next favorite has to be Devil's Den with Wolfgang Gartner. The hard glitch-electro sound Wolfgang brings definitaley compliments the bro-steppin.

8/10

The Devil's Den (Wolfgang Gartner) - Skrillex


Number three was really a toss up, but in the end I went with Bangarang. This song has been leaked before but it wasn't in its entirety.

8/10

Bangarang (Feat. Sirah) - Skrillex

Mord Fustang


Today here's Mord Fustang's recently dropped banger We Are Now Connected. Definitely going to be on repeat for a while. As a bonus, here's a song from Swedish House Mafia's DC set. Anything with REM is bound to be good.

We Are Now Connected (Original Mix)- Mord Fustang

Heart is King vs Losing My Religion vs Punk-Axwell & Ferry Corsten & REM

The Lion's Den


Here's a sick dubstep remix to one of my favorite trance tunes by Above & Beyond. Also word on the street is the new Skrillex EP is dropping tomorrow...

You Got To Go (Seven Lions Dubstep Remix) - Above & Beyond

Doomsday


Trying to make everyone happy today by bringing two entirely different songs. First up, we have Nero's new jam Doomsday. Basically everything you would expect, hella heavy with some great synth. I highly recommend. To follow up is Dmitri Vengelis and Wyman's remix of Coldplay's Scientist. Coldplay seems to be becoming a remix favorite even though I'm not a huge fan, I'm loving the remixes. Download it for free on their Soundcloud and show some love. Enjoy.

O Romeo, Romeo


New single from big name newcomer Nicky Romero.

Toulouse (Original Mix) - Nicky Romero

Breathe Vocal Mashup


I'll work on getting a DL link asap. I have to say these vocals work really well. I'm not going to say it's better or worse than the original, but just something a lil different.

He's Back


As the weekend comes upon us I have the unexpected surprise of bringing yet another Glitchdick Remix your way. Literally the best name in all EDM. You've probably heard a lot of We Found Love remixes already but give Glitchdick a chance, if anyone deserves one he does. Great start to the weekend.

Fuck Finding Love (We Found Love) (Glitchdick Remix)-Rihanna

Devils Den

Winning combo.

Totally Tubular


It's been awhile since I posted some good progressive house tunes. Hopefully this banger will suffice for now.

Tubular (Extended Mix) - Pier Poropat

Motown


3 sick remixes of some Motown and funk classics. Superstitious sets itself up perfectly to be remixed and this Moombah remix by Goofee adds to the funk and absolutely kills it. Definitely need to download this.
I follow that up with two really solid remixes of some Motown classics. The Temptations and Ray Charles don't get remixed often but these songs prove that it can be done.


Superstition (Gooffee Remix)-Stevie Wonder

What I'd Say (Bobby C Sound TV Remix)-Ray Charles

Get Ready (TEAM BANZAI Remix)- The Temptations

Take A Deep Breathe


New Skrillex song dropped off his upcoming EP. I wish he would make more songs like this, so awesome.

Breathe - Skrillex

Enigmatic


I've got two awesome chillstep songs, prefect for studying, by a relatively underground artist known as ENiGMA. These songs are way closer to the original UK dubstep sound than they are to the modern day interpretations. The wobbles are all in the low bass and not the mids. For those who don't really like dubstep I would still give these songs a try, they really are nothing like what we call dubstep today.

Saeglopur (ENiGMA Remix) - Sigur Ros


Hide and Seek (ENiGMA Remix) - Imogen Heap

Electro City


Today I've got three sick Electro/Hard-Electro tunes from some newcomers in the genre. To start off we have a great remix of Skrillex's progressive tune "All I Ask Of You". While I still prefer the original, this electro take on it is the best remix I've heard so far. Next we have another remix of Titanium, this time by up and comer Nicky Romero. If you felt like Alesso's remix didn't pack enough punch, you may prefer this one. Finally we have a remix by Pierce Fulton of Chuckie's "What Happens In Vegas". He definitely puts his Wolfgang-esque sound to good use.

All I Ask Of You (S Remix) - Skrillex


Titanium (Nicky Romero Remix) - David Guetta


What Happens In Vegas (Pierce Fulton Remix) - Chuckie feat. Gregor Salto

Call it What You Want


Great remix to Foster the People's Call It What You Want (they do in fact have more than 1 song). Treasure Fingers takes the funk up just enough and absolutely kills it. This is the original music video and it is trippy as hell. Enjoy.

Call It What You Want (Treasure Fingers Pre-Party Remix Radio Edit)-Foster the People

State of Trance


We haven't posted a lot of trance on this site. I would say mainly because unlike EDM and Dubstep, Trance hasn't blown up quite as much. I recently listened through AVB's re-release of "Mirage" and it really blew me away. For those who may not listen to too much Trance, give these tunes a shot. As a bonus I put in a sick drumstep song, just trying to please everyone haha.

Breathe In Deep feat. Fiora - Armin van Buuren


Youtopia feat. Adam Young (Michael Woods Remix) - Armin Van Buuren


Take Me Where I Wanna Go Feat. VanVelzen - Armin van Buuren


U Can't Fix (Figure Drumstep Remix) - FIGURE

The Real Deal


Not sure if this the full version but it is for sure the highest quality I've heard yet. Happy Friday


Levels (Skrillex Remix)-Avicii

Cazzette Tape


Cazzette's remix of "Levels", straight off of the new Levels Remixes EP, dropped a few days ago. It's mere speculation how many artists will be on the EP, set to be released later this month. Right now we have Cazzette and Skrillex, rumors have included Afrojack among others. As a bonus I've included a great trance tune from AVB off of his re-release of "Mirage".

Levels (Cazzette NYC Mode Mix) - Avicii


I Surrender (Album Version) - Armin van Burren feat Cathy Burton

Winter Wonderland


It's pretty rare to find a halfway decent holiday house track. This remix by The Dirty Tees isn't reeallllyyy a holiday track because it barely samples Sinatra, but I guess it's better than nothing. If you're playing a holiday show soon you might as well DL this track just to get some variety.

Winter Wonderland (The Dirty Tees Remix) - Frank Sinatra

How Did I Miss This...


Apparently an instrumental mix of Avicii and Eric Turners "Dancing In My Head" dropped a few weeks ago. I usually pride myself on my musical Sherlock Holmesian senses, but yeah, missed this one. Anyways if you haven't heard the song until now you're in for a real treat. Vocal mix should be coming out a year from now knowing Avicii.

Dancing In My Head (Avicii Instrumental Mix) - Avicii feat. Eric Turner

Boogie Down


Gramatik from the Pretty Lights Label is back with with a really funk song called Boogie Down. He's teamed up with Break Science who is also on the label and if this song is a good representation of them, they should take off. As a bonus, we also have a Bloody Beetroots remix of Escape by The Toxic Avenger. Enjoy

Boogie Down-Gramatik & Break Science

Escape (Bloody Beetroots Remix)- The Toxic Avenger

Wonderwall


I meant to post this a few days ago but with studying I just forgot. We've had some requests for more progressive, chill-lectro, so here's my best shot at it. Tiesto played this bootleg during his College Invasion tour and it just kills.

Bad Things


Here's a new track from Avicii's "darker" alter ego Tim Berg. Those who are a fan of his bouncy progressive house style will find this a bit heavier.

Before This Night Is Through (Bad Things) - Tim Berg

Finals


Here are two sick tracks as a bunch of finals weeks start. Hopefully when all is said and done you can have these at the pregame. Djs From Mars always makes a solid remix and this one is no exception.

Toca Me feat. Elly (DJs From Mars Remix)- Azura

SUPERHERO! (Original Mix)-Cyber Candy

It's Friday. You made it. Here is a great progressive track for your pre-going out chilltivities.

Sundown


Saw this a few days back and been meaning to post it. An absolutely great remix by Lazy Rich of Sundown. So much stuff going on all at once but somehow it all works.

Sundown (Lazy Rich Remix)- Chris Lake

Not A Cloud in The Sky


For some this may be their last weekend for partying, just as finals/midterms begin to rear their ugly heads. Hopefully we'll be able to supply you with all the right tunes to live it up. Here's a good start.

Chasing Clouds Away (Original Mix) - Disfunktion feat. Stephen Pickup
