This soothing remix of Mapei’s “Don’t Wait” by Happy Aciddents found itself in my submission box, and I can’t help but be charmed by the flow of it, reminiscent of an 80’s pop record, but with a 21st century Brooklyn hipster twist to it, fitting for this Summer’s groove. Light and sweet seems to be the popular theme for this Summer’s hottest tracks, and Happy Accidents relay that loud and clear with their latest work, so let yourself be taken away, this is your vacation for the day. Get that free download, and enjoy!

Hip-Hop | Ludacris – Party Girls ft. Wiz Khalifa, Jeremih, & Cashmere Cat

Interesting to say the least, but this song is a guaranteed banger. Flipping the “barbie girl” theme that Miguel sings with Cashmere Cat’s production on this song works perfectly. A pretty good intro verse by Ludacris as well as a quality verse from Wiz make this song a must listen. Peep it below.

Electro | Eekkoo – Eekkoo EP

Posted by on December 22, 2013

Eekkoo - Eekkoo EPHailing from Montreal, the Canadian producer releases a three track EP on the only label that seems fit for his music, deadmau5’s mau5trap. Eekkoo provides a wide variety of plucks, piano stabs and distorted synths over a common theme of fat bass lines, creating a hypnotic piece of dance music from start to finish. While it may be considered a bit close to “deadmau5 style”, Eekkoo has his own sound that has earned the praise of the big boss himself.

I’m about a month late in posting this but I ain’t even mad about it (and you shouldn’t be either). It’s no secret that I’m about as pro-Disclosure as it gets, especially after finally seeing them live for the first time last month, but even I was taken aback by the latest from the talented brothers from Surrey. In typical fashion, “Apollo” is deep and deceptively minimal but packs a serious punch. From the driving two-note theme to the low end industrial squelches to the incongruously (but perfectly) retro vocal sample, this track is a quietly brilliant standout.

Drum & Bass, Electro | XXYYXX – End of Time (Rework)

Posted by on November 25, 2013

XXYYXX legit kills it – this has been my theme song for a while now. Ever since I saw him live at the DNA Lounge here in San Francisco and got to meet and chat with him, I’ve had a high level of respect for this (then 17, now) 18 year old producer. This is an unofficial song but it’s got to be one of my favorites. So minimal, eerie, and bass heavy all at the same time to submerge you into the crazy world of XXYYXX‘s style – you’ll fall for it instantly.

Progressive House, Videos | Don Diablo – Edge Of The Earth

Posted by on September 30, 2013

As dance music becomes more visible worldwide, it is becoming more common for artists to become involved in activities outside of the traditional dance music DJing arena. Don Diablo, who has had a great summer with “Starlight (Could You Be Mine)” and “Prototype“, has made the theme song for the upcoming nature film in Holland and Belgium “The New Wilderness”. Looks like a great watch, I mean who didn’t like Planet Earth (the answer is nobody). This song fits the theme of the video and is another strong track from Don Diablo who continues to get better with each track. The video is awesome too.
