Hey All,
So I may have already posted today, but I came across something that definitely waranted a second post.
European DJ/producer Afrojack's song, Take Over Control, remixed by English drum & bass DJ Adam F.
This remix is definitely going to be different from what you would think of, when you hear that Adam F remixed it. It's got an undeniable dubstep feel.
I wasn't sure what kind of music to expect after the wicked summer we had, but this is an amazing offering from Afrojack, with Adam F on the remix.
Enjoy!

Hump Day! Bring on some dubstep!
White Lies is an alternative rock back from West London that formed in 2007.
The second single off of their debut record, To Lose My Life..., is called Death. The original song builds as it goes, adding more and more instruments eventually hitting a climax filled with guitars, drums and synths.
Chase & Status is a UK duo that began making music in 2003. Their earlier work was more along the lines of drum & bass, releasing songs like Love's Theme. Since then, they have expanded their offerings into other genres, including dubstep.
Chase & Status were asked to remix this White Lies song for the 2009 re-issue of their 2008 single. Their remix of Death is an amazing song, it changes the tone quite a bit and in my opinion it definitely improves on the original. This chilled out dubstep tune is definitely worth the listen.
Enjoy!

What you talkin' about?!
Hey All,
So it's Tuesday and it is time now...for something really fresh.
DJ/Producer Redlight is kind of magician of beats. Redlight (real name: Hugh Pescod) doesn't conform to any sort of stigma or mold, he is a musician of many talents who likes to experiment with different genres. He once said in an interview with Annie Mac that the music he decides to create, really depends on the day.
Ms. Dynamite is an MC/rapper from London who found fame with her first record: A Little Deeper. Released in 2002, this record went on to win the Mercury Music Prize that year. The Mercury Prize is an annual award given to and act from the UK or Ireland for 'Album of the Year'. She has since released a second record and worked on numerous collaborations including 2009's Wile Out, with DJ Zinc.
Today's entry, What You Talkin' About, was a big club track this summer, garnering a lot of praise from DJs and earning itself a lot of play time on radio. This song is a bass heavy dance floor monster, made even better by Ms. Dynamite's astounding vocal performance.

Day one of a new week, been and gone...
Hey All,
So the first day of the week has been and gone, leaving only four more to go! So let's bring on some new tunes for a new week!
This week we're starting things off with some very classy house music. Our first song comes from Cajmere (you may also know him as Green Velvet), and it is called Percolator, with Riva Starr on the remix.
Curtis Jones has numerous releases as both Cajmere and Green Velvet. His earlier music was considered to be more in the realm of a darker electronic style, but since 2007 his music has felt a lot more positive and upbeat, even remixing artists like Basement Jaxx and Madonna.
Since mid last year Riva Starr has been killing anything he touches. No one can compare to him in terms of the house music he is creating. His remix of Percolator is no exception, and is an upbeat house tune that is designed to make you dance.
Enjoy!

Jakwob is a dubstep producer hailing from across the pond. This UK DJ shot to fame after the release of his remix of Starry Eyed by Ellie Goulding. He has sinced remixed other artists including: Little Boots, Empire of the Sun, Lily Allen and MIA. He is currently working on his debut record to be released on his own Boom Ting label. The first release from it is called Here With Me, and was released on September 13, 2010.

That I loved...Silvia...
Hey All!
So first off, sorry about the lack of a post yesterday, it was a bit of a busy day! However, we're back today, so let's get in it!
Swedish producers Bloodshy & Avant, best known for producing Toxic for Britney Spears, have teamed up with American producer Andrew Wyatt to create: Miike Snow.
Their self-titled, debut record was released late last year, encompassing everything from chill out tunes to tear out club and festival anthems.
Silvia, their third single, is a solid blend of synth beats and cool melodic vocals. This is one of those tunes that is tailor made for an evening of cruising in the car.
Enjoy!

It's back to the grind on Monday...Business Casual with Chromeo!
Hey Everyone,
So the weekend is over and it's back to the grind,but that doesn't mean the music can't be good!
I'm thinking it's about time for some home grown talent on the blog. Chromeo is an electro-funk duo from Montréal, who have become famous because of their unique brand of music.
The Skream remix of Night by Night is definitely a departure from the original; it's a very chilled out approach to this song, but still works extremely well! One thing to pay attention to with this one...the guitar solo that comes in about halfway through is amazing! It lends itself so well to this remix!
Enjoy!

Disco time!
Hey everyone, so it's time for today's post...and I'm pretty stoked about this one!

In September they released their first LP titled Greatest Hits, under the name Duck Sauce. Their first single aNYway rocked the dance floors last year, and it really left the fans and DJs alike wanting more.
Their second single is a certified banger called Barbra Streisand. It samples from Gotta Go Home, released in 1979 by disco powerhouses Boney M.

Because it's day one...double dose: Swedish House Mafia and Tinie Tempah
Steve Angello...Sebastian Ingrosso...Axwell...together these three producers/DJs make up Swedish House Mafia.
This summer their single, 'One' featuring Pharrell was a certified smash. Their follow up single: 'Miami 2 Ibiza' features Tinie Tempah, the rapper from South London who came out of nowhere to take the charts by storm with his first single: 'Pass Out'. This is an amazing offering by the trio, definitely another bumpin' track.
Enjoy it.

Time to get started with the music. Introducing...Skream
Ollie Jones aka Skream is considered to be one of the pioneers of dubstep along with another producer and fellow 'Magentic Man' bandmate, Benga.

This remix is a release that really brought dubstep to the mainstream, giving a lot of people a taste of something they had never heard before.
