A True Believer

*** YouTube Playlist ***

Dubstep

Want some w-w-w-womping bass; some grimy, face-smashing grind? This here, is dubstep.

• Shock One – True Believer (Ft. Metrik & Phetsta) [Phetsta Dubstep Mix] √+

Figured I’d just throw a few of these mixes at ya as well:

• The Cataracs – Bass Down Low (Proper Villains Remix)

• The Cataracs – Bass Down Low (Halo Nova Remix) (YouTube rip @ 128)

^ Cool break-beat/8-bit pick-up @ 1:08 ^

I love melancholy, rainy day dubstep tracks like these two. Something about its smooth-swaying, slow wobbling dub, and whispering vocals that allows me to close my eyes, tune out and just chill (with my new ATH-M50s headphones, Mmm…)

• Skream – Where You Should Be (feat. Sam Frank) √++

• Shorterz & Enigma ft. Little Palm – Rag Doll

Electronic / House

Tiësto, recently named “Greatest DJ of All-Time” by Mixmag, combines forces with fellow Dutchman and fast rising star, Hardwell. Their collaboration here on “Zero 76” is a monumental production, fusing each artists’ style to create an early contender for tune of 2011.

• Tiësto And Hardwell – Zero 76 (Original Mix)

Gramophonedzie is known for their rather big band/dance hall sorta sound. They’ve remixed this track with a cool fusion of funky electro sounds and that brand of reserved nu-disco, a combo that works out to a pretty good tune.

• The Young Punx ft. Count Bass D – Ready For The Fight (Gramophonedzie Remix)

Drum & Bass

A few months ago, I brought you all another much more mellow version of this track here. Today, I’ve got a drum & bass remix by Logistics that brings a much higher energy to the track.

• M.A.N.D.Y. vs. Booka Shade – Donut (Logistics Remix)

Thank God It’s FriDub

Here’s your Friday fix of some new dubstep tracks that I’m sure will carry you through the weekend.

• Ellie Goulding – Lights (Bassnectar Remix) √+

• Morgan Page – The Longest Road feat. Lissie (Grifta Remix)

• Subscape – Nothing’s Wrong (Original Mix) √+

An epic dubstep remix of Requiem For A Dream’s haunting original soundtrack.

• Hostage – Requiem (Original Mix)

I’m really liking this dark, dreamy mix of Clare Maguire’s, “The Last Dance”.

• Clare Maguire – The Last Dance (Chase & Status Remix) √+

New to the Pretty Lights Music Record Label, Paper Diamonds takes a hint from The Glitch Mob and has produced a similar sound that’ll definitely be bangin’ through my speakers for a while! Get their full CD at the Pretty Lights website, along with a few other new artists of under their label.

• Paper Diamond – Imagine the Possibilities √+

Wolfgang Gartner released this lively dub mix of “I Will Be Here” – sounds more like the work of Kaskade than Tiësto, in my opinion…

• Tiësto & Sneaky Sound System – I Will Be Here (Wolfgang Gartner Dub Remix)

The original track has Spanish vocals but I didn’t think it’d fit well on here (I kind of like them though), so here’s the instrumental mix. It has its moments.

• Dr. Kucho! – La Tarde Se Ha Puesto Triste (Instrumental)

Ken Loi stepped on the gas to pump out this charged-up, heavier electro remix of “Only You”.

• Kaskade & Tiesto feat. Haley – Only You (Ken Loi Remix)

For those of you nostalgic for the 80’s, toward Eurythmics in particular, Avicii has your fix with his take on “Sweet Dreams” (a 3 track zip follows after the link).

• Avicii – Sweet Dreams (Full CD) [45 MB]

And just for fun, here’s Alex Metric and Steve Angello with a bit of electro-funk

• Alex Metric & Steve Angello – Open Your Eyes (Original Mix)

Janelle vs. Johnny

This progressive house piece has been a top play for me lately. I really dig the grungy guitar pick up @ 1:15, it’s quite nice!

• David Vendetta – She Turns Around (Cosa Nostra Mix) (Favorite)

Another typical, somewhat epic/dramatic, Benny Benassi remix (always a fan of his).

• Tiësto & Sneaky Sound System – I Will Be Here (Benny Benassi Dub)

Here’s a static, lazy dub remix of La Roux’s “I’m Not You Toy” (finally a remix of a track besides “In For The Kill” and “Bulletproof”) I swear I hear frogs @ 2:43, but I’m also wearing headphones…

• La Roux – I’m Not Your Toy (Nero Remix) √++

This song is well titled, it’s got a good grind – sounds a lot like Justice, IMO.

• Wolfgang Gartner – Undertaker (Original Mix) √++

Alex Metric recently remixed the new Gorillaz track, “Stylo,” to what I thought was better than the original. He’s mixed a lot of disco-funk into these next tracks.

• Gorillaz – Stylo (Alex Metric Remix)

• Bloc Party – One More Chance (Alex Metric Remix)

• Phoenix – Lisztomania (Alex Metric Remix)

However, his original work has a back-to-basics electronic sound.

• Alex Metric – Deadly On A Mission (Dub)

Okay, so I’m a little embarrassed to post Eiffel 65 (90’s flashback!), but I like this remix. The choppy piano riffs really make it (for me at least).

• Eiffel 65 – Blue 2009 (DJs From Mars Attax Extended Remix)

This song is SO Euro! But it always puts me in a good mood :D give it a chance!

• Gigi d’Agostino – I’ll Fly With You (L’amour Toujours)

The piano is like my ultimate weakness in music. This song is really peaceful in kind of a sad way, it’s one of my favorites

• Wamdue Project feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn – Forgiveness

• Wamdue Project feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn – Forgiveness (EK’s Love U Mix)

I really like this song (again with the piano) and its video (I love it when they jump into the pool and the beat drops in sync).

• Sébastien Tellier – La Ritournelle (extended intro version)

• Sébastien Tellier – La Ritournelle (Mr. Dan’s Magic Wand Mix) (video version)

[Insert Title Here]

It’s a BIG one: that’s what she said

Top picks of the week!

• Ellie Goulding – Starry Eyed (Russ Chimes Remix)

• Mille – Crysteena (Fear Of Tigers Remix)

• Dragonette – Pick Up The Phone (Michael Van She Remix)

A Light-Wompin’ Dubstep Stylee

• Mightyfools – Addict (Original Mix)

Sweet remix (gets a little draaawn out around 3:00 though…)

• Luniz – I Got 5 On It (Pat Swayzak Electro Transition 126-102-126)

Upbeat! CLASSIX and Fred Falke = superb ♫

• CLASSIXX – I’ll Get You (feat. Jeppe)

• Little Boots – New In Town (Fred Falke Remix)

With his new CD, “Believe,” arriving in under a month (Feb 23), I figured I’d post up some Morgan Page remixes. He just released a teaser single (complete with remixes) titled, “Strange Conditions” – it’s okay at best. Otherwise, the clips and previews I’ve heard of the other songs off the upcoming album sounded pretty good (“In Your Area” shows a lot of promise for some badass remixes)! Here are some randoms. > > Check my other Morgan Page post for more tracks! < <

• Morgan Page – Strange Condition (Inpetto Vocal Mix)

• Under – Under (Morgan Page Remix)

• Jeffree Star – Prisoner (Morgan Page Radio Edit Mix)

• West Indian Girl – Blue Wave (Morgan Page Remix)

…Fuck it, I uploaded the whole “Elevate” CD, it’s pretty decent all around. Enjoy! :D

• Morgan Page – Elevate (Full CD) [108MB]

A Great mix of house and trance

• Tiësto – Everything (Feat. Jes)

• Cressida – 6AM (Kyau & Albert Extended Remix)

• ATB – Terra 260273

I’m a huge fan of Pretty Lights and while their music is epic, it’s also free! All of their CDs – Get at ’em!

• Pretty Lights :: Download Page

^^I don’t have any specific recommendations for Pretty Lights, I like all their stuff – its like a whole CD experience^^

Could This Be Real?

An Upbeat Dubstep Tune to Start off this Post!

• Sub Focus – Could This Be Real

Hey Champ has been out for a while now, but the remix below is a refreshing take on the original!

• Hey Champ – Cold Dust Girl

• Hey Champ – Cold Dust Girl (Only Children Remix)

This song brings me a good vibe – I just recently found out the Cary Brothers is the artist’s name and not two brothers named Cary…Check it out

• Cary Brothers – Ride (Tiësto Radio Edit) (Love)

This La Roux remix is one of my favorites (of all remixes), the culmination of the vocals, synths, drums, clash, etc. @ 3:57 is truly glorious! I think it matches her singing MUCH better than the original, producing kind of a low, sultry sound

• La Roux – Bulletproof (Foamo Remix)

Hey Boys and Girls (that’s you) listen to this track right now

• Evermore – Hey Boys and Girls (Diamond Cut Remix)

These songs are a little more femme but awesome

• Mason vs. Princess Superstar – Perfect Exceder (Radio Edit)

• Supermode – Tell Me Why (I like the pickup at 3:55)

My Ringtone!

• Sébastien Léger – Majuro (Original Mix)

DJ Let the Music…

This track rocks a pretty sick beat, but some of the lyrics are painful lol…

• Three Six Mafia – Feel It (Partners House Remix)

This song is still in its “demo” phase, it has a really cool grunge guitar pickup around 3:00 that I hope they highlight a little more when it’s officially realease. Great work here!

• MONARCHY – Gold In the Fire (Excellent)

A great electro take on the original. Definitely check out The XX though!

• The XX – Shelter (Death To The Throne Remix)

Good luck findings these favorites anywhere else! :D

• Yoshimoto – Du What U Du (Andy Caldwell & Mei Lwun’s Edit) (well, you can buy it…)

• Freeform Five – No More Conversations (Mylo Radio 2007 Re-Edit) (Unreleased version)
