Shall we?

I, Patrick, have returned in order to supply you with the best tunes around. Speaking of which, you should probably all pay me for what I'm about to bestow upon you... But that can be discussed after you download each and every one of these songs:

Let's start this off with some energy. Get up, stand up, now dance.

Duck Sauce - Barbara Streisand (O-God Remix)

We're gonna slow it down for the next 3 min. and 55 sec. with a groovetastic original track

Miami Horror - I Look To You ft. Kimbra

This is a song composed by Holy Ghost! covered by Friendly Fires ft. the DFA celestial choir. Honestly, what more could you possibly ask for?

Holy Ghost! - On Board (Friendly Fires cover)

It's not Saturday night yet, but when that time rolls around you're gonna want this song on hand.

Matt Van Schie - Saturday Night (GLOVES remix)

I was never a Killers fan, but this remix really gives you the full synth treatment that you so deserve. Now smile like you mean it.

The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It (Madeon Remix)

This string laden symphony of a song tosses in a little grit for the perfect blend of sweetnsour.

Something A La Mode - Paris Makes Me Feel Like Dancing

I saved the best for last: Bit Funk, despite his handicap of being a Canadian in US borders, really has his stuff together. Funkfunkay bassline + cats = better than you (check out the vid below)

OCD Automatic, Adultue - Paper Cat (Bit Funk remix)

And once again, never ever forget:

Love, Patrick

Don't Worry

Whattup everyone, PK here. I'll get right into the nitty-gritty with this post. If you have any doubts about the songs I'm about to bestow upon you, refer above.

Anything that bears this Atlanta based DJ's name is a must-have for me, but this is just extraordinary. Check it.
Treasure Fingers - Lift Me



DCUP keeps poppin' up here on Bright and Shiny, a testament to the groove-inducing power he has over his listeners. This Airwolf remix is no exception.
DCUP - To Be in Love (Airwolf Remix)



Don't really know much about either of these artists, but I still love this song. It really comes into it's own late in the track, so be patient, and you'll find it's well worth the wait.
Teeth - See Spaces (Dreamtrak Diamond Sound Remix)



I'll change things up here with some more serious electro. Again, you might have to wait a little for it to really hit its stride, but when it does, it's bonkers.
Evil Nine - Ultimo



Here's some certified electro-funk from Eumig & Chinon, who have been shakin' up the blogosphere recently with their new EP, "Crash"
Data/Debt - California Special (Eumig & Chinon Remix)



Gigamesh makes Mike Posner's vocals tolerable. End of story.
Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me (Gigamesh Remix)



And finally, I leave you with an absolute banger of a track from Swedish duo Dada Life. This one is sure to get the crowd going when the drop hits.
Dada Life - Cookies with a Smile (Original Mix)


Happy Thursday!

Late Night Jams

I'll keep it short and simple. This is late night music. You know, the type of stuff you want to be listening to in a parked car somewhere at 3 in the morning, or on the drive home from a ragetastic shenanigan-filled night. Soak it up.

The name says it all for this first one.

4 AM (Adam K & Soha Mix) - Kaskade

This next song is an absolute classic. If you don't already have it, shame on you (but download it and start loving it as soon as possible).

Lisztomania (Classixx Version) - Phoenix

While everyone knows that Deadmau5 songs like Strobe and I Remember make for great late night listening, most people aren't familiar with the progressive house goodness of his deeper cuts, like these next two. (Warning - play as loud and with as much bass as possible)

Alone With You - Deadmau5

Not Exactly - Deadmau5

Although this next track doesn't quite fit in with the bass-pumping tunes I've been giving you, it's one of my favorites and definitely deserves to be on any legit late night playlist.

Ambivalence Avenue - Bibio

This one is a little low key, but nonetheless a good late night progressive house tune.

True love (Original Mix) - George Acosta feat. Fischer

This song takes a minute or so to build up.. but once it does, it's straight BOMB

Innuendo (Original Mix) - Jean Elan

Late Night Alumni are great.

Run A Mile - Late Night Alumni

When Kaskade and Deadmau5 team up, you know you're in for some seriously progressive and deep late night tunage. While this one doesn't live up to the epicness of I Remember, it's still a great track. Give it a minute or two to build up.

Move For Me (Extended Remix) - Deadmau5 & Kaskade

HOMEWORK

Now for some bonus homework from the Bright & Shiny School of Music, this next track is the absolute opposite of a late night jam. It's a bonafide club-destroying banger of a song. Mixed by JFK from MSTRKRFT, this is a song that you should listen to at your own caution, as it has been known to cause face melting and spastic body movement amongst other physical symptoms. If you do choose to attempt this homework assignment, the only requirement is that you play it as loud as your speakers will allow.

DJ Chuckie (Dutch House -- Netherlands)

Beginning with his Dirty Dutch club nights in Amsterdam, Dutch DJ Chuckie has cultivated a unique sound with his clinical productions. In a genre where progress is made either of a technical or lyrical nature Chuckie has achieved both in his music, creating an entire genre of his own and leading his fellow countrymen to worldwide recognition. Since the genre has gained popularity one thing has become increasingly clear: nobody's dutch sounds are as compelling as Chuckie's glitchy, tech-jungle beats, derived in part from his apparent love of Chicago acid house. Nothing is out of place, every hi-hat and errant "bzzzrp" has its purpose in his soundscapes; the roots of Suriname-born Chuckie are evidenced by the favored afro-latino drum patterns in his work. A genre with a decidedly global bent in this, the internet era of instant globalization, dirty Dutch house is a disease: an infectious, antibiotic-resistant, pandemic disease. But I like it.

Now, enough with all this formally written nonsense. The fact of the matter is that every single one of these songs are absolute fire. Download them and play them loudly-- you will not be disappointed. All props are due to Augustus (who you may get to know if he ever decides to post) for introducing me to this first song in early March, beginning my insatiable addiction to Dutch House.

Chuckie - Let the Bass Kick (Original Mix)

Merry Tuesday

Sir Real

Uh oh it's August

It's Patrick again..

It's August now boys and girls. The weather is hot, the air is humid, and it's time to relish the fleeting days of summer in the best way you know how; blasting good tunes.

The latest signee to Ajax’ record label, Sweat it Out, Australia's own DCUP has already drawn comparisons with Treasure Fingers, Miami Horror, and Shazam, from influential names in the industry.
