Who Loves Random Remixes? Everyone. Duh. (5)

Hey yaaaaaw,

The Kills is an amazing American alternative rock band and Fake Blood takes their original song and thrusts some mesmerizing and bouncy synths on top of some 808s and a driving bassline to transform the original into dance mania.

The Kills - Cheap & Cheerful (Fake Blood Remix)

I don't know a lot about either the artist, Baxter, or the remixer, Lifelike, but boy am I sure glad they met up and made this song. This is pure disco shit, the playful and ambient synths over Baxter's wailings makes this song into electro-trance awesomeness.

Baxter - Proof (Lifelike Remix)

You already know that da mau5 is da man, and his song Ghosts 'N Stuff was HUGE. Dirty Disco Youth takes the original, speeds it up, chops it up, false breakdowns-climatic buildups-huge drops galore. Take that all in, they just make the original that much more dancy and energetic.

Deadmau5 - Ghosts 'N Stuff (Dirty Disco Youth Remix)

I've already blogged about these bodacious Aussies, The Temper Trap, and I guess the dubbers are in love with them too. Little known Herve puts some nasty squelch over some buzzy synths and a little bit extra wobble to keep the dub steppin'.

The Temper Trap - The Science of Fear (Herve Dub Remix)

Barletta is an electronic DJ that was remixed more times than Snooki got ham-sauced at da shore in 2009. John Roman the Canadian teen prodigy takes this song and makes it his bitch, putting his aggressive dark brooding and cranking synths over this calm original. Checkity checkity check it.

Barletta - Panther (John Roman Remix)

Snoop D-o-double-G and his nephew Cudders made a tight song, and The Filth makes this remix into filthy electro bliss, The Filth definitely captures a mixture of Deadmau5 and the Beetroots and I can't stop listening to this remix.

Snoop Dogg - That Tree ft. Kid Cudi (The Filth Remix)

Who Loves Random Remixes? Everyone. Duh. (4)

Love your enemy (Birdy Nam Nam),

It's Thursday, and yes it's also Spring Break; time to get debaucherous. I'm going to be gettin' my drank on in Lake Havasu, AZ, hope y'all have a great break too. And today we have yet another installment of everyone's favorite post, Who Loves Random Remixes? This week we got some awesome artists and even better remixes.

Kaskade & Deadmau5 released several songs together and each one was just pure electro-house bliss. Their song Move for Me remixed by Santiago & Bushido morphs the original ambient bliss of it into some fast paced dancing mania. Awesome drop beeteedubs.

Kaskade & Deadmau5 - Move for Me (Santiago & Bushido Remix)

Miike Snow is a huge breakout band of 2009 and these Swedes get down. Awesome alternative band that flawlessly blends electroctronic dance aspects into their music. Definitely recommend all of you to check out their self titled debut album. Redial is a DJ who has pumping out some massive remixes, and this one of Silvia (my favorite song of their album) just enhances an already great song.

Miike Snow - Silvia (Redial Remix)

I don't personally listen to a lot of Massive Attack but I do love Zeds Dead... these guys are just simply massive. Every song and remix they seem to put out just have an even bigger and heavier sound than the last one and this remix sure doesn't disappoint with some serious squelch.

Massive Attack - Paradice Circus (Zeds Dead Remix)

Oh, Crookers, I love you guys so much but I really think your album sucks... no hard feelings though, I'll keep listening to your pure electro shit. This song is why I love them, remixing Secret Handshake's Summer of 98, Crookers put their signature hard electro fidget house sound on it to make this song into an absolute banger.

Secret Handshake - Summer of 98 (Crookers Remix)

Thee Bloody Beetroots are probably right behind Deadmau5 for my favorite DJ spot. When I first heard these guys I instantly fell in love with their aggressive synth heavy sound. These guys get the party started and keep it goin' all day and all night. WARP was argueably 2009's biggest electronic song and it was remixed by everyone and their momma... but R3SET's remix is just too good of a chune to not check out. So peep it.

The Bloody Beetroots - Warp (R3SET Remix)

The XX is one my favorite bands out right now and their self titled debut album is amazing. And I'm a maniac about dubstep so when I heard this remix I was in electro bliss. MartyParty sprinkles in a dash of dubstep that transforms the XX's Infinity into some hard steppin' grime.

The XX - Infinity (MartyParty Remix)

Ok Nerdz... Let's go to COMPUTER CLUB.

I said ayyyyyyy yo,

Whatsup folks. So today we got this chubby guy with the Rusko mohawk, and at first glance he isn't the most attractive guy but goddamnit does he make some blaps. So if you didn't know, now you know, Computer Club, is a one man wrecking crew; producing, DJing, composing.His sound is agressive, loud, in-your-face hard house splashed with some electro funk. Losing Streak is an amazing song and the hook is catchy as shet, betch, and I got hooked from my first listen. Wired All Wrong is an electronic rock group from Cali, haven't heard much from them, but this remix is supersonic. Listen, download, whatever, just keep fighting the good fight.

Computer Club ft. Frankmusik - Losing Streak
Wired All Wrong - Elevatin' (Computer Club Remix)

BONUS BLAP OF THE DAY: (this is due to my infrequent posting... sorry I had 3 midterms this week, but now they're all over it's time for SPRING BREAK 2010 a.k.a. Lake fuckin' Havasu, AZ; time to binge drink, be irresposible, and make a few mistakes I'll regret later.)

Oh Em Gee. Da mau5 is the shit and this song is just another reason why, this is an oldie but sweet, and this is definitely one of the best songs Deadmau5 has made in my humble opinion (my homie A-Stack would argue Arguru is the dopest shit ever), but then again what song hasn't he made that is just ridiculously good?... that's right couldn't name one. Just thee most outstanding electro house ever. Bold statement, I know, but I'm gonna stick with it. So if you haven't heard already, get on your electro-grind and get these tracks.

Deadmau5 - Arguru (Original Mix)

The Temper Trap + Wobble = Schweet.

Giving up the gun (Vampire Weekend),

Short post. Awesome song. The Temper Trap is this bodacious band from da down unda and these guys really rift. Hypnotic melodies and fantastic falsetto makes this band a must listen too. And I've already posted about Doorly... this UK dubstep don keeps crankin' out dubstep remixes to some great songs, and this one doesn't disappoint. The intro flawlessly combines Deadmau5's The Reward is Cheese with The Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition (one of my favorite songs out) and then just drops with some computer funky mega wobble -- it's definitely on some other shit but I love it. Check it out, download, listen, you know the drill.

Da Mau5 Iz In Da Hou5e

[the] West Coast Rocks (Matty G),

You know what I hate? When people throw a rager the one night of the middle of the week that you can't drink because you have a midterm the following day. Shibby. But back to business, you all know I worship da mau5 and this remix done by Michael Woods is electro house bliss, not to mention the song incorporates one of mau5's best songs Arguru. This song has been rippin' up the beatport charts so you now it'll keep you movin'. So throw this one and enjoy, listen, download, you know the deal, just keep it real.

Deadmau5 & Chris Lake - I Said (Michael Woods Remix)

Here's a bonus track from Simian Mobile Disco, this DJ duo from London, UK makes some of the best electro house there is, and this track Hustler is probably my favorite SMD song.

Simian Mobile Disco - Hustler

COACHELLA !!!

Rockin' with the best (Laidback Luke),

So a little too much drinkin' and smokin' and not enough taking care of the body has resulted in an overall shittiness in well being and blog posting... boo, I know. So even though it's super late, I've decided to create a Coachella mega-post previewing all of the electronic artists (minus Erol Alkan and Major Lazer [WHO SUCK!]), so you can decide which ones to check out further and which ones you actually want to spend the time listening to during the day. Coachella is in our backyard in Indio, CA, and for anyone even sort of, partially, may be considering going... YOU SHOULD GO, end of story. Awesome line up, and why do you even need an excuse to spend three days raging and listening to some of the sweetest bands in the land? The answer is, you don't, so hope to see all y'all there!

I personally don't listen to alot of LCD Soundsystem (the musical project of producer James Murphy and is a mix of dance, punk & disco), but from what I've heard, I've liked and they are not as hard as the usual stuff I listen to but still enjoyable. Check 'em out.

LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great
LCD Soundsystem - Tribulations

Joel Zimmerman a.k.a. Deadmau5 is one of the most amazing DJs/producers/musicians I have had the pleasure to see and everything he touches turns into electro-house gold. If you have a chance I would highly recommend seeing him. Life changing.

Daft Punk - Harder, Faster, Better, Stronger (Deadmau5 Remix)
Filter Freq - Dirty Sexy Club Music (Deadmau5 Remix)

Italian Benny Bennasi is a electronic music godfather and has been pumping out electro house magic for years. I've seen him once and wasn't disappointed, and I'm excited to see how his set is going to be.

Public Enemy - Bring The Noise (Benny Bennasi Remix)
Felix Da Housecat - Ready To Wear (Benny Bennasi Remix)

Tiesto IS techno. More people know him than the genre itself and this trance GOD doesn't need much introduction or explanation. I'm going to be there for sure.

Tiesto - Traffic
Tiesto - Moonlight Party

David Guetta is a little bit more pop and dance than I really like in my electronic music but he still gets the girls moving and that's always a positive in my book. Peep his ish.

David Guetta - Love Don't Let Me Go ft. Chris Willis
David Guetta - Love Is Still Gone (2009 Tribal Mix)

Kaskade is the epitome of house music and both times I have seen him he has been amazing. Some of the best live mixing I have heard and you can't help but dance when he gets on stage.

Kaskade - Steppin' Out
Kaskade & Deadmau5 - Move For Me (Extended Mix)

Electronic music legend Soulwax, has a side DJ group, 2manydjs, which is just two of the members of Soulwax who do live sets and remixes. Soulwax is awesome, thus 2manydjs is awesome. Can't wait to see them live.

Felix Da Housecat - ELVI$ (2manydjs Remix)
The Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy, Hey Girl (2manydjs Remix)

Dirty South is a Serbian DJ who resides in Australia and plays some great house music. See what you think of these remixes of his.

Evermore - it's Too Late (Dirty South Remix)
Ferry Corsten - Watch Out (Dirty South Remix)

Bassnectar is wobbley awesomeness and these guys make the speakers CRUNCH. I saw him at Lollapalooza and the entire crowd was waving with the wobble he was blasting, crazy experience, can't wait for round two.

Bassnectar - The Churn of the Century
Bassnectar - Bassnectar's Supterstylin' Smash

Psychadelic trance/dance group, Infected Mushroom, hails from Israel and these guys rock. Hard. Crazy sounds and truly an audio journey through electronica. Pretty stoked to see these guys for the first time.

Infected Mushroom - Forgive Me
Infected Mushroom - Converting Vegeterians

Club 75 is a DJ supergroup. Ed Banger label DJs, Justice, Busy P [Justice's manager] & DJ Medhi + Cassius = Club 75. Justice is incredible, absolutely incredible and I'm excited to see the other DJs and which songs these choose to play and how they interact on stage.

Justice - Stress
Santigold - Lights Out (DJ Medhi Remix)
Busy P - To Protect & Entertain ft. Murs (Crookers Remix)

The Glitch Mob is 4 dudes on tables and comps spinning some nasty ass tunes and remixes. Their experimental style combines underground hip hop elements with an aggressive electro sound. These remixes are especially dank.

Matt G - West Coast Rocks (The Glitch Mob Remix)
Napela - Monday (The Glitch Mob Remix)

This British bastid named Rusko is probably one of my favorite DJs right now and he's blowing up on the scene. With his supersonic womp and face melting wobble, Rusko is blazing his shows with a relentless bass assault and I can't wait to have my spine broke and neck snapped during this wobblefest.

Leon Jean Marie - Bring It On (Rusko Remix)
Kid Cudi - Day 'N' Nite (Rusko Remix)

I. Am Not. Techno. (But I really am)

To protect AND entertain (Busy P),

Middle of the week, so I know you need your electronic fix to keep trudging on till the weekend. Boys Noize is one of the HUGEST DJs in the electronic genre right now and I've had the pleasure seeing him twice at Hard Haunted Mansion in Los Angeles, CA and Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL. The first time I heard this song I knew it was going to massive, tell me what y'all think.

Boys Noize - Nott

Here's a bonus track from the mau5, he's personally one of my favorite DJs and this song Strobe is probably one of the greatest songs I have ever heard and if you haven't heard it that's a fuckin' shame, so download and experience this electronic greatness.

Deadmau5 - Strobe

Peace,
