Hazy
download: The Mekanism - Can't Believe (Original Mix)
Bart B More gets back to the basics on this collaboration with Harvard Bass, and the result is probably the best track by either of those two to come out in a while. Some Boys Noize-esque, sharp-edged electro that builds across the (slightly short) 4:54 of the song into a pulsing, energy filled beast of a track. Coming soon to a festival near you.
download: Bart B More & Harvard Bass - Pari (Original Mix)
A classic Biggie sample and a dancefloor dusting drop make this next one a winner. Deep grooves from two of my favorite underground producers of the moment Amine Edge & DANCE.
download: Amine Edge & DANCE - Going To Heaven With The Goodie-Goodies (Original Mix)
Some more super dope, self described 'thug house' from the duo..
Atapy has been doing all sorts of wonderful things recently. I came across this next remix of his a week or so ago and I have to say I've been playing it almost non stop ever since. The lyrics of the soulful vocals are slightly funny, but the bassline and the horns combine perfectly to form a vibe thats as beautiful as it is highly danceable.
download: Dirty Culture - You And Me (Atapy Remix)
Lastly but definitely not least is this debut single 'Up' from the Berlin based dance project Nod Ones Head. Super smooth and delicately organized, the vocals combine with the different elements of this track for a refreshingly organic feel that you don't normally come across in dance music. Check out the preview for their new EP below as well.
Stay Classy,

Out Across the Sound
WE GET DEEPER
In one of the most badass re-appropriations I've come across in a long time, mystery producers Claptone get all sorts of deep on a Wu Tang Clan classic here, resulting in some kind of utterly dope ghetto funky deepness.
download: Claptone - Cream (Original Mix)
The melodic progression in this next track off of Miami deep house imprint Petfoods is really special. Skip to the ethereal build after the 3:00 minute mark if you want to know what I'm talking about. Sorrow is only one of three tracks on the EP and the other two are just as wonderful, make sure to support and give them a listen/purchase on beatport!
download: Pol_On - Sorrow (Original Mix)
Sticking with the Petfood theme, next up we have these two sensuous cuts from Steve Huerta, who you may be familiar with for his work under another moniker, Go Funk Urself (releases on labels like weplayminimal). The first track, Love Clap, is coming out this spring on Petfood's upcoming compilation, and is a perfect testament to the young labels growing collection of really high quality releases.
The second track, Revenge, is a groove-laden slice of Balearic style deepness that really hits the spot. The release deets for Revenge are still under wraps, so be sure to keep up with all things Huerta on his Soundcloud and check out a preview below. Based on these two tracks though, I think it's definitely safe to say this dude is one to keep your eyes on in the coming months.
The remix package for Azari & III's anthem 'Reckless With Your Love" is finally out after a much hyped and long delayed release process. The Tiga effort is worth a look for its oddly chopped up electro-tech approach, but for me the real winner is the deliciously deep and melodic Cole Medina mix. Grab it below and check the full Remix EP on beatport.
download: Azari & III - Reckless With Your Love (Cole Medina Remix)
This next Dj Glen release is simply up to something shady. 'Inside' is the a track that's mischievous right from the start, and is the type of quirky, freaky tech that would easily be right at home in the debaucherous 4th dimension colloquially known as DC10 in Ibiza.
download: Dj Glen - Inside (Original Mix)
I'll just come right out and say it; I could have sex with this bassline, it's that good. Or at least while listening to it. Bouncing vibes from one of our favorite labels out of the UK in Hypercolour. Something about this one just feels naughty; in other words, you should probably play it loudly next time you find yourself around lots of people dancing in a confined space.
download: Homeboy - Sound In D Air (Original Mix)
CAUGHT IN BETWEEN
Flume has been breaking all sorts of boundaries recently with his unrestrained approached to electronic music. And I mean truly electronic music, because his tracks offer shades of all sides of the electronic spectrum, and refuse to adhere to a single definable genre. Grab his newest release which he gave away fo' free below.
And this other, older favorite from him (also free).. Forreal, this Aussie youngster is on some other shit, watch out..
So this one is relatively run of the mill for the first half or so, but after the 3 minute mark it COMPLETELY GOES OFF. Skip up to 2:45 to see what I mean; this one gets all sorts of baller funky with a murderous mix of nu-disco cuts and fat bass. Dancefloor gold.
download: Super Super - Babydaddy Dub (Original Mix)
Alex Gopher getting back to his extremely awesome electro roots here. I could listen to this side of his stuff for days.
download: autoKratz feat. Peter Hook - Becoming The Wraith (Alex Gopher Night Remix)
Killer, high energy progressive techy goodness from the Swedes Matisse & Sadko.
download: Matisse & Sadko - Amulet (Original Mix)
TEKNO LOVE
Attaque is a young producer hailing from Germany. I can only really describe his sound as techno that is at once absolutely terrifying and delightfully energetic, and he's pretty much as badass as anything I've come across recently. Keep up with him on his Beatport and his Facebook.
download: Attaque - Signals (Original Mix)
download: Attaque - Moderate (Original Mix)
Want more? Belgian madman Modek is making some equally powerful stuff:
download: Modek - Willow (Original Mix)
Green Velvet here doing what he does best; making delirious techno that seems equally effective for sucking you onto the dance floor as it is for dissolving any semblance of your rational mind once you get there. Traditionally this makes his style quite hit-or-miss, as his more mind numbingly repetitive tracks can definitely get annoying fast, but with "Michael Jackson", he completely hits the nail on the head. For those of you who'd prefer a vocal-less dub cut, check the full release on Beatport.
download: Phil Kieran & Green Velvet - Michael Jackson (Mic Jack In Version)
What do you get when you mix Rubix's disco-inspired sensibilities with Bart B More's instinct for dutch techno madness? A track called Ari that's 50% nu-disco, 50% acid house, and 100% Bright & Shiny approved dynamite.
download: Bart B More & Rubix - Ari (Original)
Bonus:
Disco of Doom pouring their predictable amount of insanity into this remix.
download: Bart B More & Rubix - Ari (Disco of Doom Remix)

As Heard On Radio Weekend
download: Baskerville - Devil's Town (Bart B More's Stuiter Mix)
download: Florrie - Call 911 (Bart B More Remix)
A freaking killer remix of the Boys Noize/Erol Alkan classic Lemonade by Light Year and The Finger Prince. I have to say, my personal favorite remix is still the Ekstra effort though.
download: Erol Alkan & Boys Noize - Lemonade (Light Year & The Finger Prince Remix)
I told you I'd be coming with the weekend sounds... This Nicky Romero remix is exactly that.
download: Tonite Only - Haters Gonna Hate (Nicky Romero 'Out Of Space' Remix)
If you find yourself grooving tonight, be sure to put this funky jam by Wax Motif on the sound system.
download: Oliver - Dirty Talk (Wax Motif Remix)

Along For The Ride
In the relentless pursuit of good music that comes with being a music blogger, I've found that every once in a while, when I'm lucky, a song comes along that transcends the normal bounds of what music is supposed to do - somehow it becomes not simply a good track, but a sort of anthem that takes on a meaning entirely beyond what a 4 or 5 minute piece of noise ought to signify. That's exactly the case with Jonas Rathsman's Tobago. Unknowingly, I first heard this song during the Magician's incredible set at HARD Haunted Mansion this year and found myself dancing into an oblivion of bliss to it, but somehow it wasn't until the other day when a friend sent over the actual song that I found myself able to ascribe a name and title to this incredible tune. In the time since, I've literally been listening to it on repeat, throwing it on during parties and when I'm jamming by myself alike - it's literally that good. So, with that, I give you Tobago. May it end up being as meaningful to you as it is to me.
download: Jonas Rathsman - Tobago (Original Mix)
And yes. There's a music video that's as good as the actual song to go along with it.
Say hello to Tony Junior. Based on this next song "Anigav" I'm predicting that this is a name you're going to be seeing A LOT more of around here. Simply put, this is amazingly catchy progressive house at its best, so good in fact that upon listening to it you might think it came from the hands of Avicii himself. Make sure to support the guy by showing some love to his facebook page and grabbing the release (which came out two days ago) off of beatport. PS say "Anigav" backwards to yourself.
download: Tony Junior - Anigav (Original Mix)
BANGER ALERT. Bart B More and TAI are responsible for this next one, and honestly, that should be all you need to hear to know this track is absolutely massive. So I'll stop with the explanation, beyond mentioning that it's absolutely hilarious that these guys managed to sample THIS piece of youtube lore and work it into a ridiculously huge drop. Out now on Bart B More's own label, Secure Recordings. BEATPORT RELEASE, yo. TWR72 remix is rather large as well.
download: Bart B More & TAI - Nobody Canna Cross It (Di Bus Can Swim) (Original Mix)
Stay Classy,

On Repeat
We're a little behind on this one, but it's still worth sharing with you guys. The Duck Sauce single 'Big Bad Wolf' gets the Dada Life treatment here. You can probably guess what that means... lots of champagne and bananas. Forreal though, this one is hard hitting and party rocking as per usual from the crazy swedish duo - another festival anthem. I'm also excited to announce that Sir Real and I will be interviewing Dada Life this Saturday in Chicago.. so get stoked for that. If you guys have any burning questions that you want us to ask them, leave it in the comments section and we'll try to fit them in. As always, the more ridiculous the better.
Download: Duck Sauce - Big Bad Wolf (Dada Life Remix)
Subb-an dives way off the deep end on this one. This remix tools around a thick, delirious beat that weaves in and out around an addictive bassline. The perfect stomper for a dark dancefloor somewhere around 5am.
Download: Noir & Haze - Around (Subb-an Remix)
I thought the Alvaro remix of this song couldnt be topped, but Joe Maz proves otherwise. This remix is straight up bonkers and ludicrously catchy. By far the best version of this song that I've come across. "Johnny, la gente esta muy loca... what ze fuck?"
Download: Sak Noel - Loca People (Joe Maz Remix)
BONUS JAMS '03
Download: Diplo & Oliver Twist - GO (PeaceTreaty Remix)
Download: Adam K & Soha - Who Cares (Original Mix)
Aaand this is why we <3 Bart B More:

Boys Noize @ Ibiza Nightclub, Washington D.C. 8/5/11
It was a warm, unassuming summer Friday night in Washington, DC when German-born techno vunderkind Alex Ridha, better known as Boys Noize, made a pit stop to blast our nation's capital with pounding beats before heading off to the infamous HARD Summer 2011 Festival in LA. Our only warning of what was to come that evening came directly from the man's twitter: "I think Washington needs some real jackin ghetto sounds tonight". I think I speak for us all when I say that was exactly what we needed to disrupt the slinking, swampy DC summer.
[download] Light Year - Sex Education (Original Mix)
It is no secret that Mr. Ridha, who is equally notorious for his incredible live sets as he is for his keen studio productions, does not give a damn when he's manning the wheels of steel. Sure, he'll play to the mood of the room, as any good DJ should, but at no point will he compromise his artistic integrity by playing a track which does not have the entire room saying to themselves "What is that sick, sick man doing up there?? I've never heard anything like this!" as they compulsively dance like absolute lunatics. And Ridha most certainly lived up to our soaring expectations, sending wave after wave of raw, unadulterated "jackin ghetto sounds" straight to our brains as the dancefloor writhed in elated response. I didn't once leave the dancefloor for so much as a second, happily accepting the fact that this man had every last one of us in the palm of his hand.
[download] House Syndicate - Jam The Mace
A particularly memorable highlight of the night, of which there were many, had to be when he dropped a go-to track of his, DJ Deeon's "Work This M.F.". An old-school "ghetto-house" track with a simple 303 bassline, knocking drums, and a hilarious vocal sample ("HaHaHaHaHa"), the track is a main-stay in his sets for a reason. Boys Noize pumped that thing out with extreme emphasis on the low-end, sending the entire crowd into a frenzy as each kick hit.
[download] DJ Deeon - Work This M.F.
From "Ion" to "Jeffer", each song played was mixed in meticulous fashion, layered exquisitely and timed perfectly. As the night seemed to near its end, the room heard the telling sounds of "Yeah" in the speakers, only to find it layered over an a Capella from the Chemical Brothers' "Swoon" which served as the perfect finish to a legendary set the likes of which Washington, DC has never seen before. And from what I hear from Augustus and Patrick, his set at HARD wasn't too shabby either, so be sure to look for our forthcoming review of the entire event!

HARD Summer Snack Pack
Ever since I first grabbed this one from our friends over at DSCOTech, I've pretty much been playing it nonstop. Dutch youngster Alvaro has concocted a ludicrously catchy slice of dutch house here. Just listen to the vocals, such gold..
Download: Sak Noel - Loca People (ALVARO Remix)
Hardwell just seems to be getting better and better with every song he releases. This song mimics that trajectory actually, as it literally only gets bigger and better as it progresses. You think you've heard it all by the 1:30 mark, until Hardwell decides to pull a fast one and absolutely blows the roof off the track with an unexpected and amazing twist of a drop at the 2:00 mark. This track is bigger than huge, it's certified gigantic.
Download: DJ Fresh ft. Sian Evans - Louder (Hardwell Remix)
New Bart B More & Tommie Sunshine collaboration, 'Bodywork'is absolutely mental. This is acid house at its best. It feels like this was made to be dropped in some dark sweaty basement rave somewhere. Straight up lunacy. Show the dudes some love and grab the release off of Calvin Harris' record label Fly Eye Records on beatport HERE.
Download: Bart B More & Tommie Sunshine - Bodywork (Original Mix)
Finally Swedish youngster Alesso gives the new LMFAO single a refreshing progressive makeover here that makes the track 10000 million times better in my opinion. A hint on how he did it ? He got rid of all the vocals...(and sprinkled some Swedish magic on there too)
Download: LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem (Alesso Remix)
Bright & Shiny Picks for HARD Summer 2011
Dillon Francis 6:20 / Shit Robot 6:45
Gesaffelstein 7:15-8:15 (MUST SEE)
Juan Maclean (DJ Set) 7:45 - 9:00
Ratatat 8:50-9:50
Siriusmo 9:20-10:20 (another MUST SEE in our opinion) or Jack Beats 9:15-10:15
Chromeo 10:15-11:15
Digitalism 10:30-11:30 or Holy Ghost! 10:30-11:30
Duck Sauce or James Murphy or Busy P 11:30 (Can't really go wrong with any of those)
Boys Noize or Carte Blanche (DJ Mehdi & Riton) to close the night out.

Now That Aint Right
In case you didn't notice the lack of an EDC Vegas review on our part, it should be noted that we were unable to attend. Sad, but true. Anyways, I found myself drooling over countless videos the other day and came across a couple shot at the main stage that made me backhand myself for not going. One featured Afrojack dropping this PeaceTreaty remix and the other was of Avicii playing his unreleased acid house tune, "Papa Was a Rolling Stone". I thought I couldn't be a bigger fan, but then he goes ahead and samples The Temptations. Fuckin' genius.
PeaceTreaty cuts out the second-half dubstep of the original and keeps it in the house. Certified BOMB
Sporty-O & Whiskey Pete - Heard of Us (PeaceTreaty Remix)
This rip was the best full version I could find and should tide you over until the official release, which will hopefully come sooner rather than later.
Avicii - Papa Was A Rolling Stone (128 kbps)
Definitely an oldie, but I came across this aptly named tune on shuffle and thought it deserved some postage.
Ichisan - Space Patrol
Grum has an uncanny ability to inject a fresh new twist into every remix he does. He puts his talents on display once again with this remix of "Skeleton", one of three songs off the recent EP by The Good Natured.
The Good Natured - Skeleton (Grum Remix)
Steed Lord's "The Eddie House" EP dropped yesterday and is a wonderful tribute to their house roots. They describe it as being "packed with burning hot disco house anthems with a french touch for all your 24-hour-daylight-bbq-pool-party-needs!" The first track, "You", is actually the first song they ever wrote and recorded together as a band, it was just never officially released. This is house music at its finest and I encourage all of you to grab the entire EP here, where you can also listen to each entire song.
Steed Lord - Im Coming Over by Steed Lord
Here are a couple of gems off another brand new EP, this time courtesy of Teenage Bad Girl. Fellow frenchie Alan Braxe and Bart B More throw their distinct flavors on the track and make some magic. These two are far and away my favorites. I have never not completely enjoyed a production from either of these guys. Braxe's has a little more groovy and smooth feel to it while Bart's hits a little harder (something I'm sure everyone has come to expect from him).
Teenage Bad Girl - X Girl (Alan Braxe Remix)

Summa, Summa, Summertime
We'll start with the newest single from (in my opinion) the most talented and consistently original young dutch producer out there right now, Bart B More. 'Traction' is a beast of a track that lures you in with a smooth and catchy melody that sounds like it could have been hijacked from a Calvin Harris song, only to suddenly take off and drop into a pounding electro beat so packed with energy its practically bursting at the seams. Truly massive, expect to hear this track all over the place this summer. Of course, be sure to show the kid some love and grab the full release off of beatport.
Bart B More - Traction (Club Mix)
Next up we have the long anticipated, absolutely bomb, Kaskade remix of the Skrillex hit Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites. We brought you guys a preview version ripped from the radio a while ago, but I'm proud to present you all today with the full version in all its high quality glory. Kaskade really orchestrates a masterpiece on this one, using his unrivaled skills at making gorgeous progressive house to stretch out and elevate the progressive portion from the original, only to ditch Skrillex's dubstep stylings in favor of a jackin' electro-house beat at the drop. The result is truly awesome, and further underscores why Kaskade is one of the biggest and most widely loved names in dance music today. [Beatport Release]
Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Kaskade Remix)
Next up is a track that's my personal favorite track out of this whole post, and it's also one that I'm sure 50% of you will hate and 50% of you will love. Gessafelstein's recent release, Hatred, is a monstrous, almost diabolical techno track that practically jumps out of the speakers at you and compels you in some alien language to dance like a total loon. Gessafelstein has been slowly building a reputation around his refreshing and original approach to pounding techno music, and recently he's received lots of attention from big name djs all across the spectrum and rightfully so. Turn your speakers up to full volume and blast this song to understand why. [Beatport Release]
Gesaffelstein - Hatred (Original Mix)
On the more mainstream club side of things, the new Afrojack and David Guetta track, Sweat, is a total bomb and it shows a return to form for Guetta, who at one point before becoming the face for mainstream cheesy sounding house music was actually a moderately respectable forward thinking producer who, among other things, helped pioneer and push the dutch sound behind the scenes that would later go on to achieve widespread fame through artists like Afrojack and Chuckie. 'Sweat' features an almost irresistible panty-dropping vocal sample and a perfectly executed combination of big room progressive house with dutch-flavored pulsing beats that make it perfect for the sole purpose of demolishing huge crowds. Possible summer anthem? I think so. [Beatport Release]
David Guetta & Snoop Dogg - Sweat (Afrojack & David Guetta Dub Mix)
DJ Mehdi cranks the funk up to 11 on this remix of The Krays (a collaboration between Brodinski and Yusek). It's been stuck on repeat on my ipod for days recently, probably because it's the perfect compliment to the sun soaked days and bodacious babes that are becoming increasingly common as we delve further into the summer months (I'm sorry, for some reason I felt compelled to quote Spicoli right there). Can you say jaaaammmmm? [Beatport Release]
The Krays feat. Ebony Bones - We're Ready When You Are (DJ Mehdi Remix)
Even a couple years after its release, Lemonade by Boys Noize & Erol Alkan is still one of my favorite tracks across any genre for the raw, creative, and authentic-feeling energy that seems to burst through every facet of the song. There have been few to no attempts to remix it, probably because the original is so flawless in and of itself. With that said, my good friend slash producer extraordinaire, Ekstra, has managed to take Lemonade to a new echelon of energy and power that I'm sure even Boys Noize himself would find impressive. He keeps all of the elements intact that make the original so loveable and awesome, while managing at the same time to give the track a fresh feel, one that's techier and harder hitting than the original. Ever since he sent me a copy, this track has been a staple in my dj sets for its pure energy and awesome reglossing of a classic. Grab it below and see why I think Ekstra is one of the most underrated producers out there right now. Mark my words, this kids gonna blow up.
Boys Noize & Erol Alkan - Lemonade (Ekstra Remix)
We've been pouring a lot of love on British producer Lone recently, but not without good reason. The dude has been churning out musically gorgeous and unique house at a prolific and impressive pace. This new remix of the Chilly Gonzales track Knight Moves is a serene, elegant song that sews together a beautiful acoustic piano melody with tribal drums, a reoccurring sample that seems to be birds chirping in a tropical jungle, and various ambient synths to form a truly stunning piece of music. It's a further exploration and reaffirmation of the sound that Lone continues to pioneer on his own, and a perfect example of why he might be one of the most forward thinking producers around at the moment. [Beatport Release]
Gonzales - Knight Moves (Lone remix)
Last, but most certainly not least, comes a track that I first heard amidst an excellent dj set by detroit wunderkid/enigma Seth Troxler, and later found out its name when Brodinski put it on his facebook page declaring it one of his favorite tracks. If support from artists as different and equally awesome as Troxler and Brodinski hasn't convinced you yet, consider that Resident Advisor declared it "a song so damn catchy it obliterates any questions about where it came from, who it might be for and why those things might matter." Forward Motion by Hot Natured is a true house track that is pure goodness any way you slice it. Check it below, but if it ends up stuck in your head for the next week don't say I didn't tell you so.
Hot Natured - Forward Motion (Original Mix)
BONUS DUTCH HOUSE:
Calvin Harris - Bounce (R3HAB Remix)
Bingo Players - Cry (Just A Little) (Kids At The Bar Bootleg Remix)

Embodiment
It's Saturday night, so let's get right down to it.
The good guys over at the Justin Faust camp were kind enough to send us this remix package to share with you all containing Fare Soldi's take on Faust's "Sloppy Chic" and two mixes of "Your Life" from Super Mal and Italo Brutalo. You guys know how Fare Soldi brings it, but I'm really digging Super Mal's version as well. Check out all three below.
Justin Faust - Your Life (Super Mal Remix)
Justin Faust - Your Life (Italo Brutalo Remix)
Justin Faust - Sloppy Chic (Fare Soldi Remix)
There have been quite a few stabs taken at Chilly Gonzales' "You Can Dance", including one from Fare Soldi that we gave a whole lotta love, so there's a chance some of you have overlooked Robotaki's remix. Trust me, it's right up there with Fare Soldi's as the best of the bunch. This young Canadian is churning out killer remix after remix, so you'd be doing yourself a favor if you kept an eye out for his releases.
Chilly Gonzales - You Can Dance (Robotaki Remix)
Continuing with this dancey goodness, I've got a great little mix from Hana Yori Kichou Na of Alan Braxe's classic "Vertigo". He gives the track serious kick, glossing it over with plenty of disco stabs and some good ol' fashioned filtering. French-tastic!
Alan Braxe - Vertigo (Hana Yori Kichou Na 'Virgo Est de Retour' Remix)
If you're looking for something a little harder tonight, don't worry, I've still got you covered. Everbody and his mother loves Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You". Bart B More has decided to capitalize on its popularity and remix the shit out of it, turning gold into...more gold.
Cee Lo Green - Fuck You (Bart B More Remix)
And finally, I leave you with a track I couldn't be more excited about. Brand spankin' new SabasitAn. It's been a big week for Ed Banger, news that really puts a smile on my face. "Embody" is a gorgeous tune with a an addicting, albeit somewhat morose, melody that'll take you back to the golden days when this French crew dominated the electro scene. Check the video below as well.
SebastiAn - Embody
Weeeekenddd.

Big Bass
"The Writer" from English songstress Ellie Goulding gets the remix treatment from French house legend Alan Braxe here, combining airy, uplifting synths and a floor-filling beat with Goulding's sweet vocals. Euphoria induced dancing ensues.
Ellie Goulding - The Writer (Alan Braxe Remix)
There's a lot of remixes of Bag Raiders' "Sunlight" out there, including two stellar mixes we posted earlier from GLOVES and Stopmakingme, but I think Armand Van Helden's take has cemented itself as my favorite...take a listen below and decide for yourselves.
Bag Raiders - Sunlight (Armand Van Helden Remix)
Next up I got a release from His Majesty Andre I stumbled upon while browsing his beatport page. This is an absolutely thumping disco banger that is guaranteed to get you bouncing like a maniac.
His Majesty Andre - Gaff Card
I believe this one from the hard hitting Frenchman Gregori Klosman was just released on beatport today. "Bombata" comes in a two track package with "Zulu". The former is an example of pure tech house destruction, with massive builds and synths that really pop. Support the full release hurr.
Gregori Klosman - Bombata (Original Mix)
We're going out tonight with a bang in the form of this huuge remix from Bart B More. The man smashes TAI's "Big Bass Drum" into little bits and pieces, re-assembling them into a floor killer topped with a big dollop of acid house. Delicious.
TAI - Big Bass Drum (Bart B More Remix)

It's Over

Well it's been a long week, what with midterms and Augustus' harddrive being fried, leaving him out of the rotation temporarily. But, that's all behind us now; it's about time we get to enjoying ourselves.
Chaz Bundick is back as Toro Y Moi and this time instead of sounding like excited pop-soul, he has trimmed the fat, resulting in a more mature approach. "New Beat" sounds like future-disco in all the right ways.
Toro Y Moi - New Beat
Bart B More's back at it again, manipulating classically house vocals and knowing exactly which synths to use to make the dance floor purr. Speaking of which, if you're in the Chicagoland area and are of 21 years of age (or have an impeccable fake ID), be sure to get to the Mid tonight to see Bart B More and Tinie Tempah!
Skydrive ft. Linda Newman - I Know Better (Bart B More Remix)
Two HUGE progressive house jams, the first from Swede John Dahlback and the second from the combined, prodigious talents of Thomas Gold and Axwell.
Benny Benassi ft. T-Pain - Electroman (John Dahlback Remix)
Hard Rock Sofa & St. Brothers - Blow Up (Thomas Gold vs. Axwell Remix)
Bass Kleph kicks it balearic-style on this one, with intriguing relapses into classical strings before the drop. Try this one on for size when you need some deepness.
Moguai, Westbam - Original Hardcore (Bass Kleph Remix)
