Two Million by Avicii
Avicii hit two million fans on Facebook. As a gift to his fans, he gave us a brand new tune ironically called "Two Million." It’s great to hear some new music from him as I think it’s been a little while since he dropped something new. Play!

Video: Feel So Close (Calvin Harris Cover) by DWNTWN
Electro-pop duo DWNTWN covering one of the best DJs I’ve seen live, Calvin Harris. They really give the song an acoustic more natural feel with the guitar/bass and Jamie Leffler’s soft vocals accompany it all to form one of the best covers I’ve ever heard.

The Veldt (Tommy Trash Remix) by Deadmau5
Having racked up an impressive 1.2 million plays on the original since it’s premiere on Pete Tong a few weeks back, Deadmau5’s return to melodic Progressive House for "The Veldt" may very well be one of his cleverest moves thus far. That being said, the accompanying remix package was never going to be less impressive.
Not a stranger to high-end remix duties, Australia’s very own Tommy Trash returns to Mau5trap Recordings...
H8RS by AN21 & Max Vangeli vs. Steve Angello
Steve Angello, AN21 & Max Vangeli pair up to release their first track “H8RS” off their highly anticipated People of The Night album due out god knows when.

The build up is on point, the breakdown draws you in, and you have three of the...

Mixtape: Axtone Presents Thomas Gold
Thomas Gold has long been a well respected DJ and producer in the EDM scene. He was pretty consistent and pretty under the radar for a couple of years now, but 2012 seems like the year he hits the mainstream, having released "Sing2Me," which went number 1 on Beatport. He starred brightly in Ultra and recently in EDC, and now he has come out with his debut compilation on Axtone Records, the prominent and ever successful label...

Hey! by Chameo
When Copenhagen producer, Chameo, releases a new track, you better pay attention. We haven’t heard much from him since his HUGE remix of “Out of It” by Fallulah back in January and his new track “Hey!” is ready to bang out at the next festival closest to you. I’m not usually a progressive house fan, but there’s something about Chameo‘s productions that consistently gets things stirring in my loins. Maybe you’ve experienced...
My Feelings For You by Xristo vs. Avicii & Sebastien Drums

High For This (The Weeknd Cover) by Ellie Goulding
Well, this is dope. Ellie Goulding, the beautiful, future pop icon, connected with Chiddy Bang producer Xaphoon Jones, an equally beautiful, game-changing beat maker, to create a cover of the also beautiful Abel Tesfaye’s hit song “High for This.” The cover stays true to the original while also highlighting the talents of the two collaborators. You got Ellie’s smooth, silky vocals layered over an unwavering beat from Xaphoon....
Video: No Church In The Wild (feat. Frank Ocean) by Jay-Z & Kanye West
Jay and Ye aren't in the video. It's basically a lot of rioting between police and some people. They throw Molotov cocktails, then there are lasers and fireworks, and then an elephant is confused as to why he is there.

Grand Rapids (RAC Remix) by Princeton
LA based synth loving indie-rock band Princeton are the latest artists to be on the receiving end of a RAC remix. Needles to say the RAC guys kill it, as they always do, but rather than taking this in a pumping, thumping, club-ready, dancefloor orientated direction, they switch things up a little. This is, in fact more a redux than a remix, as the song is relaxed, loosened and allowed to take on a second life as a lazy summer...
Stronger by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs has been slowly revealing more and more of his forthcoming album over the last couple of months, with the massive "Tapes & Money" single being released with a slew of top notch remixes.

Won't Get Lost ('96 Bulls Remix) by The Aston Shuffle
Armstrong & Jackson, known as the ‘96 Bulls return with a storming electro-disco remix of The Aston Shuffle‘s new single, “Won’t Get Lost." It’s tons of summertime fun. Although, I’m now starting to want to hear some ’96 Bulls originals. (via Too Many Sebastians)
...
Silhouettes (Disco Fries Remix) by Avicii
Disco Fries do a good old fashioned remix of Avicii’s “Silhouettes.” There’s nothing particularly revolutionary here, but that shouldn’t downplay the fact that this is a very well done remix. The original was released back in 2011 and was labeled as "perfect house music." Pretty sure that Disco Fries have reinforced that assessment. (via Indie Shuffle)

Calling (R3hab & Swanky Tunes Chainsaw Madness Mix) by Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso
Say hello to the first stomping tune of the week that will make you wish it was Friday again. This one comes in the remix format of Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso’s track "Calling" given the R3Hab and Swanky Tunes Chainsaw Madness Mix treatment. Chainsaw? This will definitely rip up the decks.

I Wanna Go by Summer Heart
Summer Heart is the one man project by David Alexander who currently resides in Malmö, Sweden. About a Feeling is his sophomore album that was released a few days ago. It’s full of nostalgic music that needs to be accompanied by sunlight. If you have been deprived of sunlight, you can substitute this album for some Vitamin D. (via Hilly Dilly)

Spectrum (Calvin Harris Remix) by Florence + the Machine
Calvin Harris is at it again with another one of his big remixes. This one comes in the form of an awesome track called "Spectrum" by Florence + the Machine. The original is a big one on it’s own from the album Ceremonials but put into the hands of Mr. Harris, blows it up even more. Tune!

Video: Steve Jobs (feat. Angger Dimas) by Steve Aoki
Steve Aoki’s new track, called “Steve Jobs” featuring Angger Dimas, is an homage to a man he calls a “revolutionary.” Steve Aoki‘s new video for the track, which appears on his album Wonderland, shows footage of a recent performance at New York City’s Roseland Ballroom, to be released as a concert film later this year. The video demonstrates the relationship between performer and attendee, what Aoki calls “a synergy and a...
Hollywood (The Magician Remix) by RAC
The Remix Artist Collective comprised of Andre Allen Anjos, Andrew Maury and Kalk Kling have blessed us with countless of satisfying remixes over the past 2 years. But now the tables have turned. Belgian DJ The Magician takes on the playful original and makes something of his own with a cheerful summer-friendly remix. It only seemed right for the first RAC original to get the remix treatment by The Magician. It’s a bubbling,...

Run Boy Run (SebastiAn Remix) by Woodkid
French electro chap SebastiAn seems to be turning in quite a few remixes lately with the latest for new buzz-bloke Woodkid and his new single, "Run Boy Run." It treads a bit of electro/hip-hop vibe. It’s probably not his finest remix, but pretty good nonetheless... Especially when he drops the kick toward the end.(via Harder Blogger Faster)

Gravity by Stereotronique
Presenting Stereotronique's instrumental that is beyond powerful. With EDM rifts, a techno back wave and some killer synth, you won't seem to get enough. Stereotronique are starting to really make a name for themselves little by little. Bad ass!

Can't Get Better Than This (What So Not Remix) by Parachute Youth
What So Not have just dropped a mammoth remix of Parachute Youth’s anthem track, "Awake Now." What to expect? A similar vein to the Major Lazer remix they dropped a few weeks ago, big abstract bass coupled with heavy chimes and general un-normal-ness! (via Stoney Roads)

Won't Get Lost (Flume Remix) by The Aston Shuffle
Sydney’s Flume is one of the most note-worthy producers making music today. His latest Aston Shuffle remix is a comfortable mixture of tropical and glitch disco. That Ta-Ku remix was only just a taste, clearly.

Demons (Diplo Remix) by Sleigh Bells
When Diplo lets out a freebie, it’s definitely going to be worth listening to. If you don’t already know, Sleigh Bells is an alternative/electronic duo out of Brooklyn who are about to release their second studio album, following the massive success of their debut album Treats. Diplo brings his own flair into the track and it’s phenomenal. The man is a mastermind, with a following from Korea to Kansas City and can work in...

Check out Pional’s tropical-flavored remix of “In The Grace Of Your Love” below. Bring on the summer!...
3 Dollars by Oh No & MF Doom
Sounds like Stones Throw Records just libreated the Doom-assisted single off Oh No’s Ohnomite LP. You can only expect some newly revived hip-hop sound when these two come on a track which is exactly what you get. Unfortunately this track is brief being the track length is only 1:28 but don't let that phase you because the noises coming from this track are dope. (via EARMILK)

Queen To Be by Cocaine 80's
Cocaine 80′s is back! Cocaine 80′s (composed of James Fauntleroy, No I.D., Common and Makeba Riddick) is such a dope name for a group for a slew of reasons. The fact the music (mostly) lives up to the name is even better. “Queen To Be” is a delicious taste of what I’d like to believe is more to come.

Video: How Can I Live Without You (Make It Right) (feat. Ronika) by Hervé

Part Of Me (RAC Mix) by Katy Perry
RAC has remixed Katy Perry‘s Part Of Me, it’s somewhat surprising pairing since RAC usually mixes less pop tracks, but Andre thought long and hard about it before taking on the mix, and the results are pretty good!
Says André Allen Anjos:
I was a little on the fence when this offer came in. I’ve done major label pop projects before and I’ve certainly passed on a few, but something about Katy Perry was interesting....
News: EPIC Radio by Eric Prydz
In an industry within which the word “epic” has lost its meaning due to over-usage, few really embody the true meaning of the word. Eric Prydz is worthy of such a title though, and the reclusive DJ, who has become omnipresent as of late, headlining his first US Tour since 2007, releasing a Beatport Chart and a 3-CD LP, and starting up his very own podcast on Itunes. "EPIC Radio," short for Eric Prydz in Concert, is a brilliantly...

They’re set to cement their place as leaders in the field with their latest EP, The Face, which is due out early June on Greco-Roman. To kick...
Boyfriend (Dada Life Remix) by Justin Bieber
Yes, you read that right. You have to have nothing but respect and admiration for the banana-munching, champagne-guzzling duo, Dada Life. A few days back they posed a question to their millions of followers as to who they thought would they be least likely to remix. The overwhelmingly majority of responses was obviously on the other extreme of the spectrum, pop sensation Justin Bieber. Well… Challenged accepted!

Tom Toms by NAPT
Don’t let the mysterious voice on the track fool you: tom toms are not “the little drums.” In the expert hands of UK twosome NAPT, they are megaton percussion weapons, on which NAPT bang out commands for you to freak the funk OUT. Throughout their brand new Tom Toms EP, these breakbeat scientists meld house and techno with cheeky, unexpected soundbites and bugged-out loops for one of the most joyous and undeniably dance-y...
Video: Ugly (feat. Amp Live) by Bassnectar
Some intense visuals to an extra heavy song that pushes how heavy and “Ugly” some music can get. It’s the music video to “Ugly” by Bassnectar featuring Amp Live. It’s got some cool effects and abrupt editing suiting the track perfectly. Make sure you turn up the bass for this one.

Settle Down (Kreap's Jazzology Mix) by Kimbra
