Dubstep | Deathcab for Cutie – Transatlanticism (Collin McLoughlin Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on February 26, 2014
Collin McLoughlin is the king of melodic dubstep. There’s no question about it. He can write. He can produce. He can sing. He can even DJ. What does the guy not do at this point? When we heard he was releasing a “Transatlanticsm” remix we didn’t know what to think. What Collin’s come up with here is serious business. Not only is this remix beautiful, we’ve heard rumor that a huge collaboration is in the works. There’s no question that Collin’s star is quickly rising. Keep an eye out for our exclusive FreshNewTracks.com interview with him coming next week.
Trap | Sia ft. Diplo – Elastic Heart (Havok Roth Remix)
Posted by Middy on February 15, 2014
Havok Roth’s past few remixes have been more of the turnt festival trap variety, earning support from the likes of Diplo and others, but with this rendition of the aforementioned Diplo’s single with Sia “Plastic Hearts, he tones it down for something more laidback. The Weeknd’s vocals are sacrificed for the greater good of the tune, letting Sia’s voice shine over a trapped out instrumental that borrows from the original and adds pitched percussion. As is customary with Havok, its a free download, so turn up tonight.

House | A’s Essential Weekend Tunes
Posted by BIGLIFE on February 7, 2014
It’s the weekend. You know what time it is. It’s time to spend entirely too much at the bar. It’s time to go home with that girl you met on Tinder that you’ll be ashamed of the next day. It’s time to hate yourself on Sunday after you look at your bank statement. We know the feeling, that’s why we’re here to enable that kind of behavior. We asked preeminent long-retired blog king “A” to gift us with a weekend playlist. Man, did he come through just in time for you to lose your dignity. His weekend selections are nothing short of fire flames. Bring your sunscreen, they’ll melt your face right off. It’s gold Jerry, gold!

Electro-House, FYI | Troll of the Week: Maverix – Everyone Is Having Sex
Posted by Nick on December 23, 2013
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you our troll of the week: Maverix. Following the likes of Daleri with their “Epic Mashleg,” and of course, the troll king, Deadmau5’s indictment of big league dance music with “Drop Da Bomb,” our boy Maverix here took it to a whole new level by charting the Top 10 in Electro House on Beatport, currently reigning at #9. Yeah, he surfaced on one of the biggest genre charts in the market, and I’m pretty sure he’s f***ing with all of us (at least I hope he is).
Let’s take a look at the lyrics: “Everyone is having sex/If you’re not you’re too complex/Everyone is having sex/If you’re not, booty call text.” Normally something like this would leave me relatively unfazed, maybe a giggle at most, but the fact that this track has broken through the the ranks of the Electro House Top 100 and into the Top 10 has left me in awe of this guy’s trolling capabilities: it’s safe to say I’m impressed; and I’m not going to lie – I kind of want to dance to this song. Hats off to you, Maverix – well done.
If you want, go hit up Beatport. This track can be all yours for just $2.49 – throw this thing up to #1.

Electronic | Au5 & Collin McLoughlin – Tendril (Original Mix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 17, 2013
Premiered on EDM.com just a few minutes ago, Au5 and Collin McLoughlin premiered their massive “Tendril” track to much fanfare. Coming off an explosive performance at Winston’s in Dallas, Collin McLoughlin has been on a serious roll as of late, and this new track is no exception. I can’t wait to see what 2014 has in store for the king of melodic dubstep. Tendril is hot lava.
Hip-Hop | Big Sean ft. Kendrick Lamar & Jay Electronica – Control
Posted by J_Salzer on August 12, 2013
This is the reason you don’t have Kendrick Lamar feature on one of your tracks. He WILL outshine you. This is the best I’ve ever heard Big Sean rap, yet he still gets shown up by Kendrick. K.dot tears the beat up for about 3 minutes before finally passing the flame for Jay Electronic to do his thing on it, and he does. But the limelight still belongs to Kendrick Lamar. He is the only rapper who can get away with calling himself the king of New York even though he grew up 3,000 miles away. But the best part about it, is that nobody is going to do anything about it, and they can’t, because Kendrick Lamar runs the rap game, and he won’t let any of us forget it. Pre-order Sean’s new album here but be aware that this gem will not be appearing on it.
