The latest VOODOO FARM offering involves some of the heaviest names in the MC industry from way back. From Notorious B.I.G. to 2Pac and Big L cramped up into one, accompanied by a few lines from one half of The White Stripes, Meg. Not so much a fan of her role in the song but the entire track is awesome nonetheless.  ...

By far the only electronic artist/band I really try to follow next to Steve Aoki. The Bloody Beetroots was one of the artists that got me hook on the scene along with the first mentioned. The former duo now a trio putting their own spin to Congorock's latest tribal war cry, "Ivory." Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo returning the favor for the "Church Of Noise" remix by producing, arranging, composing and mixing the new Congorock...

Here is an hour long treat from Orlando Higginbottom. No, he is not wizard and no, he is not a part of any of the Harry Potter series. He is more known as one of the most successful deep-house producers in the business. Everyone knows him as the man behind Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, known for music that exceeds the definition of deep house. Being part of the more unorthodox producers in the business, it is a given...

Out comes the new visuals for the The Ting Tings' second single to their upcoming new album dropping in 2012. "Silence" gets a peaceful remix treatment from Bag Raiders, opening the song with snaps and melancholic synths which give way to elastic bongos that nudge toward the the dance floor (via The Fader). Just a nudge though, Bag Raiders sounding a bit under the weather lately. What ever happened to "Shooting Stars"...

The next single to Armin van Burren's most recent located above, Mirage. The feel-good song featuring Owl City's Adam Young in "Youtopia." The #1 DJ for the past 2-3 years, this will be his fourth effort and release. "Youtopia" has to be one of the favorites. Been I while since I last heard a trance song which caught my attention and I'm happy to tell you that this did (for obvious reasons). The song just gets stuck in...

Like I said, an instrument for world domination this "Levels" track is. Hardwell trying to harness its power injecting more on its peak time with a bootleg. First premiered on Hardwell's radio show, Hardwell On Air, a few weeks ago.  Using the main theme and vocals while adding an electrofied bassline and some absolute massive drops and buildups as what can be expected of Hardwell (via Hardwell's Soundcloud). Going...

Says Hardwell: "It has been circling around on the internet for months and can be heard in almost every liveset Tiesto and Hardwell played in 2011! We are talking about the massive Hardwell Rework of Tiësto ft BT ‘Love Comes Again’! A true classic reworked; keeping the vibe, vocal and huge melody of the original and giving it a 2011 touch in that distinctive Hardwell sound. BT’s vocals are still touching as no other and building...

Now this is what I'm talking about. The real stuff. The good stuff. A classic Tim Berg track that will always remind me of how he was before Avicii. A track that will forever stick, no matter what happens, it will always be a Tim Berg production and not Avicii. Not saying the new stuff sucks, don't get me wrong. The new stuff is awesome but the old was something different and it still is every time I give it a listen. Axwell...

Sick and tired of "Levels?" Well, I am. Avicii can actually do some terrorist work with that song. It's playing everywhere! The radio, commercials, timeouts and even in wrestling! Really, wrestling?! It's actually surprising that he hasn't pushed through with some world domination plans or something. Now, I have for you, the next in line to replace that weapon of mass destruction we call "Levels," a team-up between rising...

Kill The Noise out with a new EP called Kill Kill Kill via Skrillex's label, OWSLA.  Equal parts electro-house and dubstep, it delivers a sensory overload from beginning to end, and one of the tracks in particular, the intro to the album, is an advancement to the genre of dubstep as a whole. Every track is so special in its own unique way. and that is incredibly commendable (via Big 10 House Mafia).  Full download...

Here's what I think is a great edit of Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso's amazing anthem, "Calling." Adding extra vocals into the mix, Boston-based DJ/producer Clinton Sparks doing a good job pumping up the anthem factor up a notch. Although the 2:22 cut I did not like much, but the 4:48 vocals just made up for it. Chant along after this jump.   ...

And a round of applause for a first Robotaki post. Reading more on this guy lead me to ready made remixes from the likes of Shinichi Osawa, Housse De Racket, Chilly Gonzales and a few beats for those Korean hotties they call Girls' Generation, all found in his Soundcloud. Here's more on Robotaki... "Hey! My name's Preston and I’m 20 years old. As "Robotaki," I produce music between the other happenings of my life, something...

"There comes a time when Project 46 unleashes a new bootleg and it subsequently shakes your world just a tiny bit. That time is, now. P46 has gone out and put their own refreshing zesty lime twist on Avicii’s, Enough is Enough and it’s definitely a tune to be added into the iPod jungle we all possess. For the DJs out there, add this one to your arsenal… (via Salacious Sound)" ...

Yes, this is my third "Take Care" post and yes, this is a favorite from Drake's new album Take Care which is also the title track (now that was redundant). This time it's Mike Irish putting himself on the map with his spin on the chart-topper. A top-notch producer who brings his A-game with every release including this one. This 10-minute long effort consists of a natural build-up to these heavy breaks...

"undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford's internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out 'on the corner'. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented--postmortem--and attempting to make sense of his former life. As...

So on Facebook there have been rumors of a girl on some forum talking about how she finds in her dad's flash drive a file called "Daft Punk – Sky Dive (2012) (Promo Previews)" (supposedly the new album) and immediately decides to post it on sendspace. Could this be a legitimate leak of what to expect from the legendary duo next year? The tracks do have the same style if not very similar to Daft Punk's usual productions....
