It's New Year's Eve, time to party! The much anticipated follow-up to "Pangabnormal Activity" is finally here. I got for you the "Pangabnormal Activity 2" by Emil Angeles just in time for the New Year. This is special to me because this will be my first and only post for today and the last for the year 2011. A must have copy!
Concept is pretty much similar to the first, no genre boundaries but the...

Just for Now (Gosteffects & Rule of Eight "I'm God" Remix) by Imogen Heap
This is a bootleg remix of Imogen Heap’s “Just For Now” by Gosteffects & Rule of Eight. This remix was inspired by Clams Casino’s track “I’m God,” in which he he chopped up the vocals of “Just for Now” for the hook of the song.

Summit (Aylen Remix) by Skrillex
Been a while since we last heard from the New Jersey electro remixer, Aylen. He too is back with a new remix from a recent by Skrillex and Ellie Goulding with "Summit." A lot of remixes have surfaced out there but this one stood out.
The original, part of Skrillex's Bangarang EP, is pretty mellow and laid back. Aylen, however, turns up the tempo adding massive basslines and charging it with the right amount of electro...
Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (Project 46 Remix) by Coldplay
The house collective known as Project 46 returns to ANT with their take on Coldplay's wild summer hit, "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall." As one of the hottest groups in the game when it comes to remixes, they re-up the track's status which already passed its peak by going big with its production with big drops, driving synths and that catchy bassline the song was always known for.

Too Insistent (Trentemøller Remix) by The Dø
Anders Trentemøller has become one of the most respected names in cutting edge electronic music in the last few years. His rise to notoriety was sparked by his early, techy releases for Poker Flat and Audiomatique and has since gone on to stellar highs with his own personal take on the genre, spanning, pop, rock, indie and classical.
His latest called Reworked/Remixed is a beautiful journey into the musical world, enriched...

Falling (Produced by Chuck Enciso) by JusTT&GifTT
Says JusTT&GifTT:
"This is the second song to be released off the mixtape "Prototype A" It's a song full of passion and emotion anyone can relate to it, because we all sometimes struggle in achieving our dreams."
Says Chuck Enciso:
"Here’s the video for the track my team (Sleeping Genius) produced for Lamar Odom’s former rap group JusTT&GifTT. Got some good footage of the occupy wall street movement. ...
Album: Chinoiseries Pt.2 by Onra
Parisian beatsmith Onra (known to the government as Arnaud Bernard) is a hip-hop purist from the J Dilla-Madlib school of deep crate digging. That’s deep crate-digging, Mariana Trench deep. Up to your eyeballs in obscure old vinyl for countless hours, dust under your fingernails, even-your-socks-are-gonna-smell-like-mildew-after-this deep.
His 2007 full-length Chinoiseries was the result of some serious record-store...
Take Care Of U (Wait What Remix) by Gil Scott-Heron vs. Drake & Jamie xx
Surprising that it took this long for a remix/mash-up like this to surface. Difficult perhaps? Well, it doesn't matter now. The track is finally out and is now available for download. The entire track contains two cuts, one from the most recent "Take Care" by Drake & Jamie xx and the other cut from Gil Scott-Heron's "We're New Here." Pretty much well-made by Wait What, I'd say.
...
The Fall (Sango Remix) by The Weeknd
Another Seattle-based producer in the spotlight and he goes by the name of Sango. A lot of you know that Echoes Of Silence has just been released last week and a number of producer have been jumping on The Weeknd's hype. Sango was intelligent enough to do so by taking the Clams Casino production, "The Fall" for a spin. Now look, it's paying off.
If Sango's remix of "The Fall" got you going, here are more dope remixes...
Album: Reworks #1 by Christian Strobe
In the holiday spirit, Christian Strobe has released a generous gift. All of his 2011 remixes in a free download package entitled Reworks #1. I'm not the biggest follower of the "remix" scene, but I'm always excited to see Christian Strobe give his unique touch to any track. These aren't blown-out electro-house remixes -- they're danceable infusions of nu-disco, tranced-out, dreamy sounds that always complement...
Stage Dive by Sol
Seattle-based rapper Sol is gearing up to release his much anticipated album, Yours Truely next month so to kick things off right here is the first single "Stage Dive." This track is highly recommended. "It's the kind of song that feels organic and underground and yet I wouldn’t be surprised to hear it on the radio."
...
Autographs (Prod. Statik Selektah) by Reks
For Reks' next act, he's dipping into the vault of frequent cohort Statik Selektah to release Straight, No Chaser. Accordingly, the first single “Autographs,” the first single off the project, is a song that only begins to show the the fluid chemistry between the two artists. I’m always partial to those cuts and scratched hooks so Statik gets brownie points for those in my books, and the beat itself is on the slower end, yet...
Sweep Away My Sorrow by Freddie Joachim
Beat maker, Freddie Joachim, turning up the tempo and BPM's for this new instrumental he has cooked-up. Mixing and blending a few genres here and there, his latest is somewhat a change of mood. Instead of the mellow hip-hop he usually spins, this one indicates "house" as description. House or not, Freddie will always be Freddie... Brilliant.

No Cars Go (Christian Strobe Remix) by Arcade Fire
Says Christan Strobe:
"To all haters, who think, i ruined the original: hey guys, this is just a tribute to Arcade Fire, i'm a big fan of them. sorry!!
Indeed, nothing can beat the original..."

Crystalfilm (Dan Caster & Sascha Braemer Edit) by Little Dragon
Have you heard this Little Dragon edit? It's by Dan Caster and Sascha Braemer and it's just quality. I'm not sure really how to describe the track but I'm pretty sure it was handled with care. It just sounds so sleek and glamorous. Kind of dragging though but if you're in that chill out mode or maybe hanging by the beach, this song "Crystalfilm" is perfect! Wait for it to hit that 1 minute mark, beats will start rolling in...
Video: I'm A Boss by Childish Gambino
Childish Gambino a.k.a. Donald Glover throws some bars on the infamous "I'm A
Boss" beat by Meek Mill in London for the first time exclusively for all you SBTV
viewers. Childish just doing his thing, keeping it real and busy. Exercising real talent like always.

Album: Escape by Techy Romantics
Techy Romantics is a chill-electro group that started in 2008. The group is
composed of Ryan Villena on guitar, Camyl Besinga on vocals, and Dondi
Virrey on rhythm and beats.
“In the band’s second album, Escape, the songs are lyrically-driven,
possess characteristic beats and loops, and even tinges of punk. The
trio has defied the dreaded sophie jinx, and their musical vocabulary is
more diverse this time around, but...
All That Disaster (Kaskade vs. Laidback Luke Mash-Up) by Kaskade
Kaskade lately has been releasing a barrage of mash-ups in his Soundcloud account. He resumes with this one which I'm pretty sure he played in his recent visit here in the Metro. It features one of the more well-known Dutch players out there and also a "kababayan," Laidback Luke with his latest track "Natural Disaster." However, this to me didn't really stand out compared to the rest. Not his best production, I'd say. What...
All Of The Lights² (Ellie Goulding vs. Kanye West vs. Portland Cello Project Mash-Up) by The Hood Internet
Chicago’s The Hood Internet
returns with an orchestral new mash-up, blending Ellie Goulding’s
“Lights” with hints of Kanye West’s “All of the Lights,” both powered by
the Portland Cello Project’s rendition
of the latter. The resulting re-work allows Goulding’s weightless
vocals to soar over the cello cover, with Kanye’s thumbprint still felt
throughout (via Culture Bully).

Dity Diana (A JAYBeatz Mash-Up) by The Weeknd vs. Michael Jackson
The art just says it all. Producer JAYBeatz taking matters into his own hands by mashing The Weeknd's very emotional take on Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" from Abel Tesfaye's most recent mixtape, Echoes Of Silence, to well... The Original. Genius...
JAYBeatz putting both artists head-to-head, vocally, taking the track to a whole other level. The concept is not actually difficult, it's just the matter of who thought of...
Dreaming Of An Ibiza Christmas Mash-Up by Midnight Conspiracy
Says Midnight Conspiracy:
"We love Christmas, but we'd rather be on a sunny beach in Ibiza surrounded by hot babes dancing to house music."
A piece of Ibiza mixed to perfection. Heavy progressive house bangers and anthems crammed into one track. Perfect for all of you people who are always in a hurry and those who are on-the-go. Also, for people who like changing the track without finishing the song.

I Remember by Deadmau5 & Kaskade
Last but not least, I've got a little something I'm very sure you remember... Deadmau5 wishing everyone a merry Christmas on Facebook with a song close to his heart. A special take on a favorite of his and "a little bit of noodling around with a classic."

Before I Move Off (Star Slinger Refix) by Mount Kimbie
UK's Star Slinger remolds Mount Kimbie's "Before I Move Off," a song that was made with remix potential. He ups the emphasis on the vocal sample and adds some backbone to the almost bass-less original track. If you heard Slinger's version and didn't know it was a remix, you might not have guessed that these two tracks were connected in the first place (via Prefix).

Mixtape: Made In Japan (Live In Fukuoka) by DJ Jazzy Jeff & MC Mad Skillz

On the third day of Christmas a DJ gave to me... The legend, DJ Jazzy Jeff on the decks with MC Mad Skillz for...
Turn Me On (David Guetta & Laidback Luke Remix) by David Guetta
Laidback Luke back to doing what he does best, taking tracks to the next level. His target? David Guetta's laced club hit "Turn Me On" featuring Nicki Minaj on vocals. Many have attempted their own reworks but in my opinion, Luke won the favorite. From heavy on vocal-pop to an uptempo killer on the dance floor, sprinkled with his signature Dutch filth to season.
...
Dancin' (Laidback Luke Remix) by Aaron Smith
"Dancin' in the moonlight, gazing at the stars so bright…"….remember these lyrics that spinned in your mind for entire summer 2005? Aaron Smith and his good old hit featuring Luvli on vocals created quite some buzz back in the days receiving high spots in both UK and US charts. Now Dancin' gets a new breath of life…thanks to Laidback Luke! The lyrics stood out the most for Luke and after trying the track as a bootleg on the...

As promised, I have for you a special and exclusive mix from Emil Angeles. Gracing us once again with one of his mixes, again this one does not disappoint at all. It has been only weeks since his last offering with "Pangabnormal Activity" and just like that he has another.
The hottest electro/progressive bangers and anthems this year has to offer us can be found in "Above Bed, Bath & Beyond"...
We Found Love (Star Slinger Refix) by Rihanna
Couldn't resist another post because of this one. Damn this guy Star Slinger! Definitely one of my favorite producers of all time! Check this, "We Found Love" by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris is one of the most overplayed tracks we have to date and I'm no fan. Slinger, however, gives it refix treatment that just changes everything. Not only is it now bearable, it is now worth the listen. Merry Christmas everyone! Cheers...
Album: Bangarang by Skrillex
Sick and tired of all those Christmas songs you've been hearing everywhere? I'm not. Who does? You only hear them during Christmas anyway! But here I have something different with new music from Skrillex and the release of his latest EP, Bangarang.
Not sure if its still highly anticipated considering people are starting to get sick and tired of his music because it's starting to become mainstream (overplayed). But it does...
My Home by Nneka
The first single from Nneka’s next solo offering, Soul Is Heavy is now available on iTunes.

Featuring guest collaborations with The Roots’ Black Thought ("God Knows Why") and Ms. Dynamite ("Sleep"). Soul Is Heavy available in stores on February 28, 2012 further affirms her...
Ride 4 U (feat. KiD CuDi & Chip The Ripper) by Far East Movement
Far East Movement collaborates with KiD CuDi x Chip Tha Ripper on the track “Ride 4 U”. Although it seems like an unlikely combo, the sound that these guys came up with is mesmerizing. It’s a laidback track with a nice chill vibe. Find out what it means when someone rides for you (via Channel APA).

The Lost Sessions Vol. 1 by Lykke Li
Says Lykke Li:
What is lost can be found and what is found can be lost again; VOL. 1.
I’d thought I’d give you this to put in your little players, either stick it in your ears or play it loud when the lights are low, mind weary and days rainy.
Remember; life is a process, no feeling is final.
There is no end and no beginning.
Yours truly always,
Lykke

Holiday (Madonna Cover) by Capital Cities
Los Angeles-based electro-pop duo Capital Cities isn't afraid to let the Southern California sunshine seep into their music. Synth-tastically bright, danceable and catchy, yet maintaining a depth that reflects the band's roots in San Francisco, Paris and Armenia, it's loaded with appeal. Perhaps it's the vintage Juno-106 heard punching out across their self-titled debut EP, or the unique timbre of frontmen Ryan Merchant...
Brightside ('96 Bulls Remix) by The Knocks
Says '96 Bulls:
"We started 2011 with a remix of The Knocks brilliant pop tune "Dancing
With The DJ" so we figured it was only right to end the year remixing
their following up single "Brightside". A little something to brighten
up the Australasian summer, or to heat up the US x Euro winter. Enjoy!"
