Open by Rhye
Details are being withheld about the identities of the duo behind Rhye. They live in LA, but both have European backgrounds; they’re signed to Innovative Leisure, and they’re both members of other (possibly well-known) bands. The singer’s voice may be recognizable to some: it’s immaculate. “Open” is Rhye’s first offering, a really lovingly and delicately sung request for someone to stay conscious so you can make out. I think...
Chasin' by Sander van Doorn
Sander Van Doorn, the king of progressive house and trance is back with his first release of the new year.

Walking Synapse (Dragon & Jontron Bootleg) by Deadmau5 vs. Dirty South
It’s pretty hard to mention electronica music in the city of Denver without automatically thinking of Dragon and Jontron. While Dragon’s career is substantially longer than Jontron, but Jontron has already made quite the name for himself as well. Together, the two have been creating monster tracks, and tearing up dance floors as a DJ duo.
This track was a little mash-up they did as a free giveaway for their Facebook...
Easy Way Out by Gotye
We’ve had our eye on Wally DeBacker aka Gotye for a long while. Watch as his shares with us today, “Easy Way Out,” a video nine months in the making but only two minutes in length. This is the new video for the new Gotye song and it is difficult footsteps to follow in, given the runaway world-wide success of the video "Somebody I Used To Know." But this is nearly as compelling. And a fine song to boot.

Psilo by Pasta Groove
Presenting the future of Original Pinoy Music or OPM. Paolo Garcia more known as Pasta Groove is always busy brewing up what clearly is the future of local production. Cycling through old vinyl records and chopping them up in order to create that perfect beat to embody what we consider very good music. "Psilo" is his latest offering and it does not stray-away from greatness. It's all sorts of chill and it instantly melts in...
The Morning (Sango Remix) by The Weeknd
Sango has been on a roll with his remix productions over the past 12 months. But out of all of the artists and track selections, the biggest responses have came from his refixes of The Weeknd. Sango remixed 3 tracks within a time span and all 3 tracks we're recognized and shared by The Weeknd himself. How dope is that? In response to all the positive feedback, Sango recently decided that he was going to complete a whole remix...

Futile Devices (Shigheto Remix) by Sufjan Stevens
Brooklyn based producer Shigeto's latest experiment is a step in an almost untouched direction- into The Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens. Shigeto’s remix of “Futile Devices” is almost a new song entirely. The original parts are chopped, cut, and pasted to almost twice the length of the original track.
His subtle additions really add to the song’s melody without overpowering it; keeping in focus that Shigeto doesn’t...
Calling (Losing My Mind) by Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso
Two of dance music heavy weights, Sebastian Ingrosso and Alesso, have joined forces in summer 2011 on the smash single “Calling;” a seething maelstrom of synths and white noise that delivers on all levels and takes no prisoners. Rising like a frothing tidal wave of sonic force from the darkly churning sea of dance music, “Calling” stands head and shoulders above all, propelling you to places other tracks won't even know...
Preview: Eyes Wide Open (Lenno Remix) by Dirty South & Thomas Gold
Kick-off your Saturday night with this preview of a brand new Lenno remix of "Eyes Wide Open" by Dirty South and Thomas Gold.

Slam The Door by Zedd
German bred Zedd has put his foot down with an original titled "Slam The Door." Out on OWSLA records this one track exclusive makes for good tense listening. The kicks are relentless and the vocals seemed to be sampled from an old black and white 1920′s tv show or modern remake of old show? Overall its fun in and out pumping track action make for lots of fist pumping drunken glory. (via Stoney Roads)

Drop The Pressure (Dada Life Guerilla Fart #14) by Mylo
In the lifting spirit of the festival season, our boys Dada Life have sent us their new Guerilla Fart #14 to give to you dirty dancers.

Pop Dance (Challenger) by Skrillex
"Pop Dance" otherwise known as Challenger is a new unreleased banger by Skrillex that I discovered while surfing the web. The track was featured at the end of the Skrillex's Mothership Forum's website launch video, and is supposedly going to be on his next EP release, Voltage EP. This track is more chilled-out and has more of an electro-house type of sound, but it still has that slow BPM so it'd probably be classified as dubstep...
Snimbe (The Polish Ambassador Remix) by Tama (Mali)
This is a Polish Ambassador remix of the African ballad, "Snimbe" by Tama (Mali). This is unlike any track produced under The Polish Ambassador alias. A softer, yet danceable track that tugs at your emotions and will hopefully stick with you for years to come. Without further ado, have a listen and get this sweet heartfelt tune in your next mix asap.

Who Are You (Lee Bannon Remix) by Bilal
Sacramento producer Lee Bannon is here to continue the Plug Research label’s winning streak this week with an eerie, experimental remix of Bilal’s “Who Are You." The remix, released via Soundcloud to hype Bannon’s forthcoming Fantastic Plastic, sets Bilal’s vocals over some distinctly extraterrestrial soul, with nearly subliminal drums coexisting with big, wide open bass notes, making for a sound I can only describe as “vintage...
Mixtape: Black Fist Fridays by Q-Tip
Ain’t no stopping Hot 97′s Black Fist Fridays. And this week, Q-Tip was the special guest who jumped on the 1′s & 2′s for today’s mix. The last of the hip-hop legends to hit the Hot 97 throwback to honor Black History Month.

Your Song (Butch Clancy Dubstep Remix) by Ellie Goulding
These days, it seems as if the stereotype of a dubstep song is waiting for a drop. Indeed, that tends to be the case for many songs in the genre. The half human half subwoofer, Butch Clancy’s new remix of “Your Song” by Ellie Goulding is a prime example of how the womp, womp, wobble build-up should be executed. (via Indie Shuffle)

LP: Clouds by Apollo Brown
Clouds is a collection of beats (28 to be be exact) that clocks in at just under 53 minutes, and it’s the perfect soundtrack to bring spring in. Take one listen to “Shoot The Heart” and you will be amazed at how much is truly going on behind the drum scene. Most notably, behind the claps and synth, Brown makes good use of a line from The Pharcyde’s “Passin’ Me By.” The sample gloves into his own instrumental flawlessly.

Turn It Around (Robbie Rivera’s Juicy Beach Mix) by Robbie Rivera
Veteran DJ/producer Robbie Rivera has already had an explosive 2012 with his major release of Dance or Die Part 2, which featured the Beatport hit "Roxy." Now he gives one of the singles “Turn it Around” an intense progressive boost with high lead synths and a melodic drop. The track was created as a promo for Robbie’s insane Miami event “Juicy Beach," featuring performances by Bob Sinclar, R3hab, Tommy Trash, Bass Jackers,...
I Crave Paris (Flight Facilities Edit) by Aeroplane vs. Friendly Fires vs. Giselle
The formula to the perfect summer song: Friendly Fires writing the song "Paris" and then Aeroplane remixing it. Flight Facilities then writes the song "Crave" and then Aeroplane again with another remix, taking the vocals from that song and putting them over the "Paris" remix. And there you have it, the perfect summer song.

Grew Up Fast by J. Cole
Sounds so soulful, don’t you agree? As a result of J. Cole reaching two million followers on twitter, he decided to give thanks by sending out a smooth new track called "Grew Up Fast," dropped more or less 2 A.M. EST. Young Simba flows maliciously over this sweet, sweet David Ruffin sample, bringing some classic soul to his repertoire while he lays down the usual.

Fire (R3hab Remix) by Adrian Lux
Adrian Lux is one of our favorite young artists due to the way he weaves pop sensibilities into his chart topping headrush house productions. In the vein of Swedish House Mafia and Kaskade, Lux’s tracks have the vibrant energy and memorable hooks we look for in pop music while still bringing the progressive bass lines and driving beats our dancing shoes crave. Today we bring you a shining rendition of the single “Fire” by...
Dose Of Dopeness by Kid Cudi
Any longtime Kid Cudi fan is familiar with the story of the long-lost “Dose of Dopeness” track produced by Dot Da Genius, who produced Cudi’s entire new rock album WZRD. Recorded all the way back in 2008, “Dose of Dopeness” was a live favorite but was never fully finished and released. After countless delays and pushbacks, Dot Da Genius finally liberated the track via Twitter. It’s clearly classic Cudder with his old melodic,...
Grab A Plate by Chiddy Bang
Despite their usual cool demeanor, Chiddy Bang probably woke up this morning with butterflies in their stomachs for the first time in a while. After steadily growing their brand of “Swelly-ness” over the past three years or so, Chiddy and Xaphoon will finally release their debut studio album today, serving up Breakfast worldwide. Come to think of it, for a duo who turned mixtapes into overseas tours and world records in such...
Losing My Mind (St. Etienne Remix) by Summer Camp
Uber pop English group St. Etienne remixed another English indie pop group, Summer Camp, resulting in a grandiosely cheerless track. Not exactly what one would expect from pop band vs pop band, but who really cares since the resulting composition is so beautifully executed?
“Losing My Mind” starts off with some amazingly stellar whistling, giving way to Elizabeth Sankey’s cautious, dark vocals. The lyrics are cynically...

High Life (Vanguard Valentine Remix) by Daft Punk
While you were dining at some restaurant with a loved one on the 14th, Vanguard were hard at work making magic in the studio. This is yet another perfect example of Vanguard’s proficiency at appreciating the direction of a track while still adding their own unique signature sound. This is probably the only time I’ve seen this song of Daft Punk off the album Discovery been re-done tastefully. They definitely still have...
Wait For Love (Vanguard Vocal Edit) by Fred Falke
Since having the immense honor of getting to chat with Fred Falke a couple weeks ago, Vanguard has come out with a vocal edit of the French-producer’s masterpiece “Wait For Love“, currently exclusively available on vinyl but soon to be released digitally via his upcoming EP, Part IV.

Mixtape: Aloe Blacc by Paris DJs Soundsystem
