Porter Robinson - Language



Electro house

Beautiful new track premiered at Ultra Festival, check the synth at 1:00 to see what i mean.  Drop comes in at 2:02, love the change of beat at 2:15. Also vocals at 3:00 add another element to the track

similar to: Zedd, Deadmau5

PS, hot off the press, Zedd and Porter Robinson are busy working on a collaboration as we speak

Feed Me vs. Knife Party vs. Skrillex - My Pink Reptile Party (Maluu's Sl...



Dubstep


As promised, another mash up from Maluu.  Drop at 1:09

Similar to: Skrillex, Knife Party, Kill The Noise, Porter Robinson

Tantrum Desire - Reach (Push the Feeling)



Drum 'n' Bass


I know Reach has been around for a while now, but i feel it's worthy of a mention as it's probably my fav drum 'n' bass track of the moment. Drop at 1:07.

Similar to: Sub Focus, The Prototypes

Alvin Risk vs. Skrillex Feat Ali Love - Ruffneck Returns (Maluu's Slice'n'diced mashup)


Dubstep


Brilliant mashup by Maluu (no i'd never heard of him either before today).  In fact Alvin Risk played this mashup in his Ultra Music set.  1:19 for the drop.

I'll post another of his mash ups a little later

Dismantle - Detonate




House/ Dubstep


Apologies first of all that this isn't the full length track.  However, you definitely get an idea of what this song is about.  Drop at 0:13.

similar to: nothing i know to be honest!

Gemini - Fire Inside (Ft. Greta Svabo Bech)



Electro/ Dubstep

Gemini returns with his new track Fire Inside.  This track definitely has a different style much more similar to Electro house of Romero or Zedd etc (It builds to 1:30 like so many songs in this genre).  However, at 2:02 Gemini returns to his roots with a heavy dubstep wobble.

similar to: Xilent, Cutline, Roksonix

Nicky Romero - Toulouse (Tommy Trash Remix)



Electro House

Tommy Trash's remix brings a new element to Toulouse with a machine styled drop (hard to describe in words really!) Build 1:37 to drop at 1:49

similar to: Afrojack, Nicky Romero

Sunday 1 April 2012

Martin Solveig - 'The Night Out' (A-Trak Remix)



Electro/House


A Trak brings us an absolute banger of a tune.  1:30 for the drop with a distinct popping bass.

similar to: Duck Sauce

Martin Solveig - The Night Out (Madeon Remix)



Electro


Fantastic remix from Madeon providing a completely different feel to A-Trak's remix (see my post above). 0:47 for drop (if you can really call it that) .  Fantastic use of guitar riffs/synths.

similar to: Daft Punk

NERO - Crush On You (Knife Party VIP Remix)



Dubstep/electro


VIP for those of you who don't know stands for variation in progress (in other words a remix of the original song).  This is Knife Party's VIP of their original Nero remix and is being played in most of their sets at the moment.  0:55 drop.  Knife Party have altered the tune in the drop sections and have added drum and bass elements (1:07) (no doubt from their Pendulum days).  2:47 to 3:05 is completely different to the original with a jungle vibe.

similar to:  Pendulum, Skrillex, Kill The Noise,

Change to blog

I have decided to slightly change the format of the blog.  This will mean i will start providing old as well as new tracks in each genre.  This'll provide you first of all with some old tunes and will also allow newcomers to Electro Dance Music (and the other genre's i provide) to be influenced by classic tracks. PS (i'll make it obvious which are the new/old tracks)

similar to: Zedd, Jack Beats

Wednesday 28 March 2012

B.Traits - Fever (feat. Elisabeth Troy)



House

Fever brings us those 90's style piano chord progressions with the standard amen break beat.  Soulful lyrics from Elisabeth Troy add to the appeal of the track. 0:56 synth section provides a nice contrast to the piano chords.

similar to: Redlight

Alex Metric - Rave Weapon


House/Techno

Alex Metric has just released his Ammunition EP, Rave Weapon being one of the three tracks.  The name is certainly relevant as this banger would set off a rave and a half! 1:16 drop

similar to: Steve Angello, Alesso

Labrinth - Last Time (Knife Party Remix)



Dubstep/Moombahton

Knife Party remix Labrinth with a moombah slant.  1:30 for the drop and those standard Knife Party lazars.  Nice 2:49 to 3:15 interlude has a classic house feel to it.

Modestep - Show Me A Sign (Official Video)



Dubstep


Modestep return with a heavy track.  Music starts 0:58.  Drop at 2:09.  4:25 drum and bass entry.  Sorry for the ridiculous video, blame Modestep for that.

similar to: Delta Heavy, Feed Me, Kill The Noise

Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound



House
Huge track from SHM,  can definitely here new sounds of the Knife Party type creeping into their repertoire.  1:53 for the main section.  2:49 for standard SHM style melody. 3:54 build to 4:22 beautifully crafted build.

similar to: Romero, Hardwell

Avicii & Nicky Romero - NickTim (Fuck School) HQ new song!



Electro/House

Collaboration between Avicii and Nicky Romero provides us with a fist pumping anthem.  It may be half a year old but this song still hasn't got old.  Beat kicks in at 1:37

similar to: Swedish House Mafia,

Dirty South & Those Usual Suspects feat. Eric Hecht - Walking Alone



House


Recently played on Tiesto's club life.  Fantastic 'builder' of a tune up to 2:00.

similar to: Feenixpawl & Ivan Gough, Axwell, Alesso

Rusko - Somebody To Love (Skream Remix)




Dubstep

To celebrate the release of Rusko' new album (titled Songs), I bring you Skream's remix of Rusko's first single Somebody To Love.  This remix makes full use of a heavy low pitched almost airraid sounding bassline,  taking elements of his old school dubstep but with a 4x4 moombah styled beat.  Bass comes in at 0:56,  1:22 for the beat.

Similar to: Benga, Caspa

Hackman - Close

I know it was released almost a year ago now, but still think its worthy of a mention.  The steel synth sound and vocals in this track are beautiful, also pretty cool youtube art.  0:58 for the drop

similar to: Mosca

Sub Focus - 'Out The Blue' ft. Alice Gold



Drum and bass


Sub focus returns with his follow up to Falling Down.  This track however is much more in the drum n bass vane of old sub focus.  Beat kicks in at 1:32

Zeds Dead - Hit Me




electro/progressive house


From the Adrenaline ep, the Canadian duo bring us a cracking new movement in their music, almost sounding like UK garage's bass in its heyday (0:50).  Drop at 0:47, break at 1:41.

similar to Doctor P, Zedd

David Guetta & Nicky Romero - Metropolis (Full Official Exclusive Previe...



Electro/House


New collaboration between Guetta and up and coming dutch DJ Nicky Romero.  Premiered by radio 1 DJ a couple of weeks back.  This is sure to be a summer banger with its metallic sounding bass (1:00) building towards the main section of the song (2:20)

similar to: Swedish House Mafia, Tommy Trash

Sunday 25 March 2012

Skrillex (ft. Damien Marley) - Rudeboy Bass (UNRELEASED)



Dubstep/brostep/reggae
