House | Matisse & Sadko – Promo Mix February 2012

Posted by on February 22, 2012

House powerhouses* Matisse & Sadko just dropped a great hour-long mix that’s packed with high-energy bangers and of-the-moment anthems. I love good mixes when they come along — they’re awesome for studying or working because they transition in a distraction-free manner (I used to study to a playlist that literally jumped from piano nocturnes to Daft Punk…incredibly bad planning), and I personally think they’re even better for having people over. Hate it when your friends get drunk and grabby with your music and whine about how they just want to hear “Hot N’ Cold” by Katy Perry? Problem solved. Put this on, hide your iPod, and let the pros DJ for you. The fact that Axwell’s monster remix of “In My Mind” is immediately followed by “Wild One” 2.0 (which is in turn followed by the beautiful Tim Mason remix of Stars Come Out) should honestly be reason enough.

Tracklist:
01. Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike & Regi – Momentum (Original Mix)
02. Bobby Burns vs. Technotronic – Next Pump Up The Jam (Matisse & Sadko Mash Up)
03. Firebeatz – Where’s Your Head At (Original Mix)
04. Nicky Romero – Generation 303 (Original Mix)
05. DubVision – All By Myself (Original Mix)
06. Ferry Corsten feat. Ben Hague – Aint No Stoppin (Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano Dub)
07. Qulinez – Troll (Original Mix)
08. Chris Lake – Build Up (Tommy Trash Edit)
09. M-3ox feat. Heidrun – Beating Of My Heart (Matisse & Sadko Remix)
10. Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl feat. Georgi Kay – In My Mind (Axwell Mix)
11. Jack Back feat. David Guetta, Nicky Romero & Sia – Wild One Two (Original Mix)
12. Zedd – Stars Come Out (Tim Mason Remix)
13. Laidback Luke, Arno Cost & Norman Doray – Trilogy (Original Mix)

Dubstep | R Rated #14

Posted by on February 2, 2012

Being one of the most epically filthy R Rated posts that Sev and I have assembled, it called for a picture that says we mean business. The first track to start off is an insane remix of Antidote, this is how dirty the original should have been.

DOWNLOAD: Swedish House Mafia v Knife Party – Antidote (Catalyst’s Found The Cure Dubstep Remix)

This track is a very deep dubstep track. Bitstrap is an artist I am not too familiar with, but if the rest of his tracks are smooth and heavy like this he’s ok in my book.

DOWNLOAD: Bitstrap – False Prophet

Flinch has been on projects with big names such as Skrillex and 12th Planet. This new remix of his definitely sets a high standard for heavy vocal tracks.

DOWNLOAD: Ming – Go All Night (Flinch Remix)

Sirkit made one funky sounding drumstep original. It makes me think of goofy old videogames from Sega Genesis, except Sonic wasn’t trying to make your ears bleed.

DOWNLOAD: Sirkit – Shake ‘n Bake

I was slightly confused when I was first listening to this. The track obviously starts out with Katy Perry vocal sampling, so naturally I expected some continuation once the track dropped. I love being wrong.

DOWNLOAD: Cyrex – Roll On

Had to save the best for last. Sev introduced me to this insane track just the other day. The drop is just jam packed of crazy, filthy goodness.

Electro, Mashups | Aylen – The ReMixtape

Posted by on January 20, 2012

After dropping banger after banger on us over the course of 2011, Aylen is starting off 2012 right, with a massive mixtape. Here is what he had to say about it:

The end of 2011 was a very exciting time for me and I’m eager to bring in 2012 the same way I left off. Today, I’m proud to announce the release of my free remix album titled The ReMixtape. At 11 tracks, The ReMixtape includes 7 remixes, 3 mashups and 1 re-fix that span electro, progressive, moombahton, with a hint of dutch.

Here are a few of my favorite tracks, but the whole project is definitely worth a listen.

Download: Alesso – Raise Your Head (Aylen & Xristos Remix)

Download: Jocelyn Enriquez – Do You Miss Me (Aylen Remix)

Download: Lady GaGa x Alesso x Porter Robinson x Dune – Heiress Of Glory (Aylen Mashup)

Cover, Videos | Collin McLoughlin – Someone Like You

Collin McLoughlin

Collin McLoughlin is back at it, melting hearts left and right. His latest release is an acoustic mashup of Adele’s Someone Like You, including portions of Katy Perry’s The One That Got Away and Rihanna’s We Found Love.

Hip-Hop, Pop | Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry ft. B.o.B.

Posted by on December 20, 2011

Nicki let’s the dog out of the cage on her newest single off her sophomore album, Roman Reloaded, set for a February 14th release.  Amidst switching lanes between her multiple alter ego’s, she practices what has become her signature strung out sound, recycling her “…ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuld” as she first quoted in Big Sean’s “A$$” Remix.  The album is already shaping up to be as good as the first with rumored features from Wayne, Mary J. Blige, Birdman, Ricky Martin, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears.

P.S. Nicki Minaj definitely takes the cake for dirtiest lines of 2011.  Despite that, will we see her performing alongside Madonna at the Superbowl next year?  Listen for a short line that might suggest just that.

Katy Perry has seen unprecedented success since the release of her second studio album, Teenage Dream, garnering 5 record breaking singles while she now aims for a sixth with Bobby Ray.  B.o.B. takes us off the blocks and caps off the end of the track with another short verse.  If I had to guess, I’d say this track hits Top 40 on the radio charts as well.

Mainstream Remix | Katy Perry – The One That Got Away (Liam Keegan Radio Edit)

Posted by on October 22, 2011


Liam Keegan is back with yet another signature mainstream remix. Per his usual sound, this Katy Perry remix builds into a bass thumping dance remix with plenty of decorative synths. If this is too corny for you, I’ve added an Above and Beyond remix as a bonus – check it out, its dope too!

Electro, Pop | Tori Blake – Young Wild Free (SPNCRxRNDY Morphine Edit)

Posted by on July 28, 2011

According to her bio, Tori Blake taught herself to play guitar at age 12 and has been practicing and perfecting her art ever since. Well it seems that this ridged work ethic is starting to pay off for this Orange County native..these tracks have some serious pop vocals that kind of remind me of Katy Perry. Hit up her facebook to grab the original versions of these tracks.
