Electric Bodega this week has collaborated with 2DopeBoyz.com for a campaign titled “Thank You 2DopeBoyz”, an ode of appreciation for all that 2DBZ has done for the music culture as a whole, in terms of breaking new artists. To do so, EB will be releasing a remix a day, and today they bring us a trap remix of Troy Ave and Tony Yayo’ “Show Me Love” off Troy’s album “New York City: The Album.” If you’ve been keeping up with hip-hop, Troy had one of the most critically acclaimed albums last year, and is the talk of a lot of hip-hop heads, so listen!

Mainstream Remix | Collin McLoughlin & Skrux – Castle Walls (Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on January 7, 2014
2011 saw a unique collaboration between hip hop icon T.I. And vocal powerhouse Christina Aguilera. While the song went slightly under the radar in the pop charts it sported an emotional chorus with a stirring vocal performance from Cristina Aguilera that lends itself quite well towards a melodic bass rework. Enter Collin Mcloughlin and Skrux, who’s synth heavy interpretation of Castle Walls provides a melancholy take on the hip hop focused original. A soaring trance like arp guides the listener through a wave of heavy bass and glitched vocals, making this interpretation of Castle Walls a perfect balance between subtle beauty and overdriven low end.
Electro | DVBBS & Borgeous – Tsunami (Jay Cosmic Remix)
Posted by Mel on January 6, 2014
While I’m generally not one for hardstyle, UK native Jay Cosmic dropped his remix of the festival hit “Tsunami” earlier and it is incredibly good. The song starts cinematically after the brief intro and then builds and drops with the melody from the original, but then strays from the original and gets even better in the second half of the song. I am obviously terrible at describing hardstyle tracks but if you are a fan of the genre this is definitely one to check out.

KickRaux teamed up with Walshy Fire whom you might know as 1/3 of Major Lazer to remix “O.G. Bobby Johnson” by Que and it’s the perfect blend of electro-trap and rap. The ladies are going to be shaking their asses to this one, and the fellas are going to be leaning back like Terror Squad in ’05. Man, this track makes me feel good to be a gangster. This is a must download and a must listen, if not go kick rocks! Go support them on Hypem and give them a heart to get them up the chart!

DJ Snake ended the year with a #1 on the iTunes Dance chart with Lil Jon’s “Turn Down For What,” announcing a residency in Las Vegas at Wynn Resorts, and back to back shows in NYC and San Diego to bring in the new year. Not slowing down, and for no reason in particular, today he releases a mash up of Prodigy and Mercer entitled “Breathe (Parisian Vision).” Go into this track with no expectations, the drop is going to be a slap in the face, one like you’ve never heard it before. This is a must listen and a must download!

** After reading the comments under the Snake track, it appears 4 months ago producer Breaux released his own remix of Mercer and Prodigy’s”Breathe” and it sounds exactly like the one that was released today! Have a listen for yourself!

Electronic, Moombahton | The M Machine – Additional Faces
Posted by J-Tiffy on December 30, 2013
Madness – pure madness. I first heard this little piece of magic in The M Machine’s mix for OWSLA After Dark (My favourite mix of the year). It’s such a creative musical venture that it makes my head spin. Suspense is built well with an entertaining intro and build that introduces the beat. The power of the beat at 1:45 is Godzilla-sized. With a moombahish pattern and encompassing bass, it really takes me over. Then, out of no where, the song picks up into a wicked drum and bass shuffle.
The whole song is amazing in many ways, but as a friend pointed out to me, the most impressive illusion created here is that of depth. The sounds compliment each other perfectly, but it feels as though they do so from a distance. And width – I’m not sure that I’ve ever heard sound so wide. Huge, low bass and long, wide sounds add to the illusion. Without adding an overwhelming amount of sounds, these legendary artists have created a sound that is extremely full. This song is way entertaining and displays some next level engineering. Bravo guys, this is brilliant stuff.
