The Chuckness

Just came across this awesome remix, that mashes together a couple cool songs. This is my first exposure to STS9 (short for Sound Tribe Sector 9) but I’m definitely going to be checking out their other tracks. I’m not usually a fan of mash-ups in the traditional sense, where the lyrics of one song are played over another beat – I find it boring. I do appreciate it when artists like Girl Talk take elements of many different songs and fuse them to create a unique new product. That’s what the Glitch Mob has done here. I’ve included the two … Continue reading →

Just came across this awesome collaboration. I can’t even begin to explain how excited I am to see Skrillex at Lollapalooza. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Nero – Promises (Nero and Skrillex Remix) [via] Tweet

Whoa whoa whoa. I was just casually perusing The Hype Machine, and saw this currently was sitting atop the Popular chart. I’ve heard a few Alesso remixes before, but nothing really sticks out in my mind — so I was curious why this had garnered so many votes. Well make it about a minute in, and you’ll fully understand why. It’s never bad to add another electro banger to your playlist. Hit the stream and download below.

Annnnd more Drake for the day. After laying low for a while, he seems to be back in the sharing mode again. He just jumped on SBTRKT’s “Wildfire” beat and dropped a verse for the official remix, which also features indie band Little Dragon. I could get into this one. Check it out for yourself below.

A new remix from Mike Posner was just released; and past experience has trained me to get more excited about these then his album material. He made the beat himself, as he normally does, and there’s no doubting that his production skills are top notch. I think I’m a fan of this remix? The beat is pretty awesome, his voice kind of bothers me — I can’t quite make my mind up. What do we think? Hit the jump for a little video from Maestro Knows showing Posner inside the studio making the beat. [Audio clip: view full post to … Continue reading →

At 17, Cris Cab’s got a massive window of opportunity, and he’s poised to take full advantage. I’ve been way into everything I’ve heard from the kid, from his “All of the Lights” cover, to his “Black and Yellow” cover, to his original “Good Girls”. Eddy B and Tim Gunter decided to sample the latter for their latest track, and it works out pretty well. An easy, laid back listen — let me know what you think.

Pretty Lights is kind of killing it. A few years ago this Colorado native was DJing and throwing wild house parties. Now Derek Vincint Smith is living the good life, selling out venues across the US and Europe. His sell-out show at Colorado’s own Red Rocks Amphitheater last summer (and probably this summer too) sealed the deal…Pretty Lights is a force to be reckoned with. His sound, consisting of layers upon layers of samples, backed with crunchy bass and glitchy drums is a sure-shot recipe for a good time. His newly formed label, “Pretty Lights Music” showcases similar artists and (like his own music) gives … Continue reading →

Another monster from Dutch producer Afrojack is upon us. The remix of Ian Carey’s “Last Night” featuring vocals from Snoop Dogg and Bobby Anthony, is a 100% Mr. Francois certified banger. One thing is clear about Afrojack, and its that he likes to have fun. Sampling and looping something like “where’s the bathroom at cuz i really gotta pee” over and over again is definitely his way of saying: “i can make this track as silly and stupid as i possibly can, and its still going to murder.” Also included is R3hab’s take on the track. DIRTY DUTCH! [Audio clip: view full … Continue reading →

The latest remix from Australia’s Dirty South has been murdering clubs since its release just before this years Miami Music Week. Its got a dope bassline, sexy vocals, and Diddy saying “lets go!” before each drop. This track has been getting plays from absolutely everyone, and (from personal experience) it CRUSHES! Highlight from Miami was Morillo dropping this with a drunk Diddy doing work on the mic. Sheer epicness.

It’s no secret that both Chuck and myself are huge fans of the British euro-pop sensation by the name of Ellie Goulding. Not only do I appreciate her work, but I’m also a big fan of the “remixablilty” of her music. Here we have a groovy remix of Ellie’s “The Writer” from Frenchman Alan Braxe. Keeping with a lot of the original elements, Braxe adds a splash of his signature “French touch” sound.
