Hey All,
Friday is here people! It is the halloween weekend so I'm sure many of you are finding a party or a rave to go to. In celebration of the partying that is to come, I've got two songs for you today. The first one...a big certified banger designed to make you dance. The second one, a chilled out tune that is sure to mellow you out on the drive home from whatever parties or clubs you are going to this weekend.
Let's get in it.
Underworld is an electronic band from the UK that formed in the early 80's. They have countless releases under their belt. Their newest record focuses heavily on the dance floor.
Always Loved a Film is the second single from Underworld's new record, Barking. The Solo remix is a bouncy house track that will definitely get you in the mood to dance.
Enjoy!
Artist / Producer: Underworld
Label: Cooking Vinyl
Song: Always Loved a Film (Solo Remix)

The second song I've got for you today is full of soul. It's something to enjoy as your night winds down this weekend after all of the partying that is sure to be taking place.
Jamie Woon has produced a soulful track called Night Air. This song is ultra smooth and flows seamlessly, making you feel as though there is something very special about the 'night air'.
This song has been the song of the week for, hands down.
Enjoy!

Time for some 8-bit!
Hey All,
Time for something random and fun! Friday is here people, bring on the music!
Today's tune comes to us from an artist called Unicorn Kid. An electronic/8-bit DJ from Edinburgh, Unicorn Kid (real name, Oliver Sabin) was signed to EMI in 2009, releasing his music on the Euphonios label. He has since been signed to Ministry of Sound (and Ultra Records in the US and Canada).
Since he made an appearance at T in the Park in 2009 (an annual music festival that is held in Scotland), Oliver has opened up for artists including Calvin Harris, Pet Shop Boys and Hadouken!; while also remixing for artists like the Gorillaz.
Our song today is called Wild Life. This song sounds like it came out of an old school Atari or Nintendo game. It's something I have been really diggin' this week!
Enjoy!

Time for something big and epic!
Hey All,
Happy Wednesday! The week is nearly half over which means that we only have a couple more days until the weekend.
In anticipation of the upcoming weekend and the dancing that will inevitably happen, it is time for some big epic drum & bass.
Today's tune comes from Netsky; an up and coming drum & bass DJ from Belgium. Netsky was signed to Hospital Records in late 2009, a label that has signed other drum & bass and liquid artists including High Contrast and London Elektricity.
His self titled debut record was released in May of this year to very positive reviews. Memory Lane is a solid drum & bass tune that definitely showcases what Netsky is capable of. It's a chilled out track, and I know that since I came across it a couple of months ago, it has been on high rotation on my iPod.
Enjoy!

This one's BIIIIIIIIIIIG!
Hey All,
It's Monday, so it's back to the grind, but that's okay...time for some new music to get you through the week.
Alright, time for something BIG!
One of this summer's biggest smashes was brought to us by Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP from Australia, and it is called...We No Speak Americano.
Released in February of this year, We No Speak Americano samples from the 1950's track; Tu Vuo Fa L'americano, by Renato Carosone. This song is almost as classy as house music gets, it's infectious and it is sure to blow up on any dance floor.
Being played in high rotation on radio stations and dance floors around the world, this song is an undeniable smash, made to get you dancin'.
This song should have made it to the blog a long time ago, but it's here now! So...
Enjoy!

Your words to me are like music...
Hey All,
So what do you get...when you have Magnetic Man, remixed by Steve Angello? Pure gold, that's what!
The collaboration of Skream, Benga and Artwork; better known as Magentic Man started a few years ago. 2010 has been a MASSIVE year for them. The first single from their self titled debut record, I Need Air, hit number ten on the UK singles chart, which is quite an impressive feat for essentially a dubstep tune! They have been playing all of the major festivals this summer, and their debut record has just been released on Columbia Records.
I've recently come across a remix of Perfect Stranger, the second single from the album featuring Katy B, remixed by Steve Angello, and...I cannot get enough of it!
Steve Angello took this song and flipped it over on it's head, creating something completely different!
Enjoy!

Time for some dirty electro!
Hey All,
So I decided it's time for a post. I came upon a song last week and it has been in heavy rotation for me since then. It's definitely a wicked listen, so check it out.
I'm not too familiar with our artists today, I've only just been introduced to them.
Joe & Will Ask? were signed to Gulp Communications in 2008, after making some noise in the European dance scene in 2007. Their music was so well received by clubbers and DJs because it seemed as though these two DJs had a clear outcome of what they wanted achieve with their production. Their music was catered to club goers, big epic bangers that were sure to get everybody dancin'. Their music quickly spread all over European dance floors because it was infectious, you couldn't not dance to it.
This song is one of their more recent releases, and it is called...Rainbow Trout.
Enjoy!

I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend!
Hey All,
It's Friday! Bring on the weekend!
Unfortunately I woke up this morning feeling like death warmed up...but I am not ready to pass on my weekend because of it! I'm currently trying out some of those cold remedies to feel better. You know, tea and honey...some halls.
Anyways, to the music! This is a post I'm pretty stoked about! Time for some music from one of my favourite DJ/producers...Calvin Harris.
Calvin Harris' first LP, I Created Disco, was released in June 2007. With two singles; Acceptable in the 80's and The Girls hitting the top ten, it can't be denied that Calvin Harris' brand of electro-pop music is something very unique.
Since the release of his first record Calvin Harris has been in big demand to produce and remix for other artists. He produced Dizzee Rascal's 2008 number one single, Dance Wiv Me. He also produced some of the tracks featured on Kylie Minogue's tenth studio record, X.
In a recent Twitter post Calvin Harris announced that he would be performing his last ever live show with the full band at Creamfields (a festival that took place in August this year). He said that he feels a little bit old to be performing some of his songs like The Girls. He also said in a recent interview with Annie Mac, that the live show just isn't what he wants to do anymore.
He has no plans to quit music, he really enjoys DJing and has plans to put together DJ shows and tour in that capacity. I really hope that we continue to see him remix and produce for other artists as well.
In celebration of Canadian Thanksgiving Day weekend, it's time for some Calvin Harris' music. Very appropriately named Ready for the Weekend.
Enjoy!

So it's Wednesday...time for some choones!
Hey All,
So a new day, a new tune! Let's get in it!
Benga is easily one of the heavy hitters of dubstep. He was one of the first DJs to actively work towards bringing dubstep to the mainstream in the early 2000's.
This summer was big for Benga; he produced a song for Katy B's debut record called Katy on a Mission. A mix between pop music and dubstep, it quickly became a hit and received lots of radio play.
As well as producing, he spent a lot of time touring and playing festivals with his Magentic Man bandmates, Skream and Artwork.
Today's tune comes from a collaboration that Benga did with and Youngman.
Enjoy!

Heidi and Audrina eat your heart out...
Hey All,
So it is time to introduce some grime and hip hop into this blog. It’s been a few weeks now, so the time seems about right.
This post is all about one artist…Tinie Tempah…easily this year’s breakout musical act from the UK.
Grime has been a staple of the London underground scene for quite a while now, and in the past few years we have seen more and more artists nearing the mainstream charts; most notably, Dizzee Rascal. Since then artists like Chipmunk and Tinchy Stryder have released their own brand of grime/hip-hop, but none of them have created as much buzz as Tinie Tempah.
Released commercially on March 1, 2010, Pass Out is Tinie Tempah’s first single. Written and produced in collaboration with UK hip hop singer and producer Labrinth, Pass Out debuted on the UK singles charts at number one, and remained there for two weeks before being knocked off the of the top spot.
Pass Out is high energy grime track that has helpded launch Tinie Tempah to stardom, and it promises to blow up any dance floor.
Enjoy!
