One of the most refreshing things about dance music is the fact that artists are always pushing the envelope creatively by remixing other artists’ tracks. This typically breeds healthy competition between artists within a genre, as two talented producers are able to push each other to deliver a better product. At 21 years old, Felix Jaehn has already accomplished what many artists hope to achieve in their entire careers, as his remix of “Cheerleader” last year soared to the top of the charts in over 50 countries, and solidified him as an elite talent in dance music. His most recent output, “Book of Love,” is nearing a million plays on its own, and Jaehn has tabbed Mr. Belt & Wezol, Mike Mago, and Chris Meid for a stunning remix pack that features three unique takes on the tropical house gem. In particular, Mr. Belt & Wezol gives “Book of Love” an extra boost of energy, so check out the remix above, and the rest of the remix pack below the jump.

Techno | Destructo Takes It Back To The Old School Days of Electronic Music With “Techno”

Long before the days of Swedish House Mafia, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, and the main stage explosion, dance music presided over the underground, lurking the shadows of illegal warehouse raves and secret parties. In those days, electro, big room, and progressive house were afterthoughts – acid house reigned supreme. There are few artists that have been around long enough to truly understand the growth that dance music has gone through, but Destructo is one of them, and he’s throwing it back to the early days with his latest output, “Techno.” Sampling Eminem in his hit song, “Without Me,” Destructo builds the entire track around the verse, “nobody listens to techno,” infusing the track with some thick Roland-303s and buzzing synths.

Posted by on October 26, 2015

Frank Leone admits he that he hates the word “remix.” However, his latest musical statement is a repurposing of Tyler the Creator’s “Treehome95” from the album Wolf. Frank adds to the song in the best way possible. Instead of just tossing on some different drums, or adding a verse, the Chicago 20-year-old makes the song his own.

Frank Leone’s consistent output of strong pieces of music makes him an exciting up and comer to watch for.

Compilation, Playlists | Songs You Should Know Vol. 7

Posted by on October 22, 2015

Hellooooo once again, my fellow music lovers! After a long hiatus of post-graduation soul searching, adventure seeking and couch surfing, I am happy to say I am back in the game and ready to rock your world with all the music that has been rocking mine over the past six months. It’s been a whirlwind adventure for me recently, and the winds have blown my sails all over the map as far as music goes. I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone and started binging on genres such as southern blues, classic soul, grainy 70’s surf rock, Brazilian reggae and even, dare I say, country *gasp*. So, while I typically try to keep these posts limited to recent releases of artists on the rise that need to be heard, you’re going to hear maybe some songs in these genres that aren’t exactly what you normally listen to, but just give them a chance, and if you don’t like it, hit next, because hey – there’s over 20 songs that made it on this month’s list so, plenty to choose from.

Now, let’s get to the jams.
