Pretty Lights – Around The Block (feat. Talib Kwelli)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RlcrCRSY4Y

Here’s a dope new track and video from Pretty Lights. It’s the first release from his new album “A Color Map of the Sun,” which during his set at Coachella last night revealed would be released July 2nd. The week after I get home from Electric Forest in Michigan, where he is headlining. I can’t wait to hear the new tunes in his set and for the new album. This man is a production genius.

 

EDIT: He’s also releasing a documentary about the making of the album. Here’s a little trailer from that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP02rTZte6Y

Vitalic – Fade Away (C2C Remix)

I had never even heard of these guys until today, after reading another blog post about this new track. I am blown away by it– upbeat, catchy, electro …with layers and depth. Right up my alley! I will for sure be looking for more from C2C – who are a French Electronic 4-some (as you can see from the photo below).

Madeon – Live Triple J Mix

Here’s a new recorded live set from Madeon in Australia. It’s pretty strong for it being only a 1/2 hour long. He mixes about 46 songs within that short span ranging mostly in the Electro and Nu-Disco genres. I am definitely looking forward to seeing him at Electric Forest Festival this summer.

Dan Ran – Tech House Mix

One of my very good friends (the head of a party crew in Philly called Oddcake)
has been learning to spin recently, and he just posted his first ever mix on Soundcloud.  I think it’s good for his first ever mix. Some seriously body rocking tech house bangers.. Check it out and leave him constructive feedback to help him get even better!

Daft Punk – Columbia Records Preview

I love how secretive Daft Punk is about everything!  It makes the hype that much greater. It appears they’ve finally released some OFFICIAL things this week, including a very short, very vague commercial during SNL, and now the commercial song showed up on Soundcloud today. It’s a looping sample of what sounds like is gonna be a track of their new album, set to release sometime spring. I can’t wait to hear more!

Gramatik – Bluestep

I cannot get enough of Gramatik. He’s making some of the freshest electronic music in the game right now, in my opinion. Here’s his latest track called “Bluestep” – he explained the motivation behind it by saying “I’ve been really into combining the vibes of raw 50′s and 60′s Blues with all kinds of EDM genres and one of the results is Bluestep. It’s a dynamic mixture of Blues and Dubstep, a plethora of screaming guitar, howling vocals and big bass, capturing the raw energies of both music worlds in a hopefully cohesive, possibly outrageous picture.”

Check it out and definitely look into his other music if you enjoy this one. His #digitalfreedom EP is brilliant. He’s on PLM (Pretty Lights Music label), and they give away all their music for free!

Defunk – Jive is Good for You

I just discovered this track while I was downloading new music ( I’m trying to learn how to spin). It’s super fuuuuuunky and unique! Glitch Hop mixed with Funk mixed with Swing. Check out more of Defunk’s tunes from his Soundcloud page. This dude is definitely on the come-up.

C&C Music Factory- Make You Sweat (Team Bayside High Trap Remix)

I’m obsessed with the original 90′s club hit. I’ve totally been waiting for someone to make a trap remix of it. At my friend’s weekly party last night, the DJ dropped this.

 

And just for shits and giggles… Everybody Dance Now! C’mon it’s SO good.

Disclosure – White Noise

I have been really into different genres of house music lately. Tech house and deep house especially. Disclosure is a UK garage/deep house duo, and they have been releasing some cool tunes over the past year. This is their newest track. Other tracks you should check out—> “What’s In Your Head” and “Latch” (the latter may sound familiar if you’ve seen the most recent Internet viral video being passed around the EDM heads) “Hitler Finds Out About Deep House.” In any case, I definitely think I’ll go check them out when they come to Philly next month at Union Transfer.
