I've come across some SICK NASTY dub recently - it's all a little heavy, which I like.
However, since it has come to my attention that long posts get boring and hard to sort through, I don't want to include these in a daily post. I'm planning on adding them all to a single track with transitions and posting them in a special post sometime within the next couple of weeks or so.
That being said, here are a couple of mashups that I really like.
This next song is very reminiscent of DJ Earworm's mixes, but I like this one better. Mochi has lots of other excellent mashups as well, which I may be posting some other time.
Mochi Beats - Friends Till The End
The Hood Internet is very hit and miss. Don't like them too much, they generally do not have enough melody or beat in their songs. But this is different.

Daily Post #3
Woot. 3 times in a row.
I'm really just trying to catch up on new stuff now so that I can have some space to get you guys all of the songs that have been out in the past couple of months that I want to share. (These past two months have been AMAZING)
Got some heavy dub for you first off. It's not an original track, but then again most dubstep/electro isn't. Pretty heavy stuff, so if you have pity for your ears I would not play this as it's meant to be played, with the volume up until the bass gives your diaphragm a massage.
Chase & Status ft. Delilah - Time (Rocket Pimp Remix)
Next is some drum and dub... I can't really call it drum and bass because it's has too much dubstep in it, but I can't call it dubstep because its beat is too similar to drum and bass. Sounds a lot like something pendulum would put out.
Al Bizzare - Fresh Scream
Finally, SHM (Swedish House Mafia for those who don't like acronyms) has come out with a new track semi-recently. Like all of their (few, unfortunately) songs, it's quite good, although not quite "One" or "Ibiza" caliber. Also, there's a pause in the middle that sounds like the song is done for; it's not. Some nice vocals, too.
Swedish House Mafia ft. John Martin - Save The World
Out of the last 8 song's I've posted, 6 are original mixes. Suck on that Matt. :-)

ON TIME TWICE IN A ROW. UNHEARD OF.
Anyways, a couple more good songs for you guys.
First off, Calvin Harris - Bounce.
I'm generally not a fan of Calvin Harris, his stuff is good, but usually lacking in the bass sector, and well, you know, need bass. I really like this one though, a very feel-good song.
I recently came across a Danish singer-songwriter Agnes Obel. Her stuff is quite mellow, very pretty, and very piano heavy. Basically, it's just piano. But that's always nice. I also have a remix here that I personally do not like as much as the original, but I thought I'd add it just for kicks.
Agnes Obel - Riverside
Agnes Obel - Riverside (Lulu Rouge Remix)

Daily Post #1
So. A couple of friends had the idea that because I cannot keep this blog going on a weekly basis that I post 1-2 songs daily for your enjoyment. I approve.
Lets get some trance going today.
First off, let me just say that W&W is someone who you should all definitely look out for; Personally I'm expecting them to get really big very quickly, rising up to Tiesto levels in the trance circles.
Word on the street is that they absolutely destroyed Ibiza a couple months ago, and, if you can do that, you're pretty sicknasty.
That said, here's a track of theirs called Alpha
I recently came across a song by a Spanish band called Newton. It's a very unique style of music called Makina, which was a genre that fathered modern trance and electro in general and was very popular in Spain in the 90's. This song came out in 1994, and I think it's really cool to look at this and compare it to new artists and see how the electonica scene has evolved.
Newton - Streamline

Refresh
It's been a long, long time, again.
I don't know why, but it always seems to go in spurts. A couple of weeks with a lot of music, a couple of months with none. Hopefully I can keep it up this time. Not that I haven't said that before too haha.
Anyways, I'm really excited to share these next tracks with you. The youtube playlist that I had made before worked really well, in my opinion, and I will try to create another one for this next post. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to put download links up this time; last time I did, I basically got a cease and desist letter saying, "yo, that music you're putting up? take it down, or else. kthxbye" So, no more downloads. But definitely yes to streams, they cannot stop that.
First up is a song that I had heard in the past, but I'll give credit to Lauren for reminding me of this awesomeness: We have Swedish House Mafia teaming up with Tinie Tempah for this awesome song. This song has been mixed the $%@! out, but I think this one is at the top with Miike Snow's mix coming close behind.
Swedish House Mafia - Miami 2 Ibiza ft (Tinie Tempah)
Fun Fact: Ibiza is a tiny island off the coast of Spain, known for it's clubs.
Skrillex... how should I describe them. They (he) goes HARD. As in, all the way in super dirty hard. I, for one, am a huge fan. It's just something that you listen to and surrender all your emotions and movement to. And you are left confused at the end of the track because you have no idea what just happened. They have a new album that came out last month, if you like these, get it. It's awesome.
Also, just a warning, Kill Everybody is creepy. Very creepy.
Skrillex - Kill Everybody
Skrillex - Slats Slats Slats
Wiz Kalifa is basically made of weed. I cannot think of a song of his that doesn't mention weed. And this is the same. But, it's really dirty. And everyone knows dirty = good. Also, who's Too Short?
Wiz Kalifa - On My Level ft. Too Short
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, now updated to 2011 standards. Very chill.
Ennio Morricone - L'Estasi Dell'Oro (Bandini Remix)
If I had to say who my favorite mashup artist is, I would definitely have to say The White Panda. I think there's been one or two songs of there's that I haven't really enjoyed. They didn't disappoint me this time either. Shooting Superstars is one of my favorite songs of all time, and the other two are pretty good too. Have to say that I think they expected too much from their slant syncopation they were trying to get going with Roscoe Dash's part at the end of Stereo Hands, but other than that, top notch.
The White Panda - Shooting Superstars
The White Panda - Infinite Dream
The White Panda - Stereo Hands
Usually good mixes come from really good music. Except with Monarchy. I've listened to all of their original songs, have not liked a single one. This one is the same. Pretty bad. But Benny Benassi saved it, thank god.
Monarchy - Love Get Out of My Way (Benny Benassi Remix)
Taking a short break from all this electro-oriented music, here's a couple of non-remixed ( :-O ) songs that are some of my favorites. Especially Little Lion Man. God, it's a good song. Don't know much about either of them though.
Erin McCarley - Pony, It's OK
Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man
I heard a couple of rappers lately that I really like that I want to get to know better. Doesn't hurt to have a couple of superstars like Kanye and Robyn to back you up to help you get noticed. Also, this way has a pretty damn good music video.
Dilated Peoples - This Way
Robyn - Cobrastyle Remix (Ft. Ish)
While we're on Kanye, here's a song I really really like. It's a Pretty Light's mix of his All of the Lights. And a mix of Pink Floyd's Time. Pretty Lights is soooo good. They definitely make the songs less lyrical, but the music makes it all worth it. Not happy songs, but it's Valentine's day. Screw happy.
Kanye West - All of the Lights (Pretty Lights Remix)
Pink Floyd - Time (Pretty Lights Remix)
I have to admit, most of the songs that I like I like because of the music, not because of the lyrics. That's partially because most songs that come out don't have particularly good lyrics. For example, I love Train, but all their songs that are good are about love and how it's great and how you're great blah blah blah. Lame. Plain White T's. LAME. Good, catchy tunes sometimes. But no real depth. Or meaning. I guess you don't need that for 12 year old girl audiences. Here's a song though, that's really just a form of expression. With really good music.
Lupe Fiasco - Words I Never Said (Ft. Skylar Grey)
Enjoy!
