Hands Up Summer!

I'm alive! Sort of. I was insanely busy, and then I just lost motivation to post music, and then I didn't have internet... Yeah, I've got lots of really bad and invalid excuses. I do, however, now have some music to share with you. Over the next month (that'd be August, I realize I'm jumping the gun a bit here), I will be posting summer mixtapes, possibly along with the occasional song depending on how work goes. I made the terrible mistake of not putting a track number for this playlist, so instead of giving you the listing, I'm just going to highlight some of my favorites. Oh yes, and this one, as the title says, is called "Hands Up", so take a stab at what kind of music it is.

Download Here.
If someone can suggest a better host I'm all ears.

If you guessed electronic, you win! You can download the mixtape just like everyone else, good job. So it's a 10 track mixtape, and all of the songs on it I first heard in the month of July, but that doesn't mean that's when they came out. I lacked internet for quite sometime, but let's get into it. I have to of course love Madeon's single, Finale, he keeps lighting up the music world. Fantastic melodies, enough bass and killer vocals. Chameo's track, Hey! is a really up beat, care free, dance track that feels summery. Really shows what the young Dane is capable of.

For me I think the best track for the moment, is Air by UK producer Rouge. He does a great job of taking summer and putting it in a track. Three months from now when we all haven't seen sunlight in as many weeks, I'll turn this on and imagine being in a warm summer night. I'm also partial to the Teenage Crime remix, but that's because those vocals to me are amazing.

So there you have it, my first post in forever. Check back, I promise it will be tops a week until I post again.
Still the best way to keep track of my weird posting habits is my twitter, which is on the side. And not my twitter because I don't see the point of it for personal usage. But that's just me.

I'm out!

Pillow Talk

What's this, I'm kind of on time for posts? Amazing! Anyways, this post is a bit more chill, except for the last song. It's bipolar with it's bass, so much so it throws me off. But enjoyable nonetheless, if this slow stuff isn't your style, give the others a cursory glace but totally check out the last track.

Oh yeah, and on this one, buy means "get for free" because Beat Culture is awesome like that.





So there you have it, some new music. Time to stumble on to class, I'm out.

Smash and Mash

I feel like I should take a break from dancing, but as I'm sitting here I still want to. So here's another dance inspired post, because chair dancing while studying is underrated.

Here's another song based off Levels, only it's in reverse, which is a very weird feeling. But enjoyable
nonetheless.


And to end off the post, a much more chill track in comparison. The kind you want to listen to as you drive in the night.


I hope you guys had a good weekend. I did, but it was no where near as productive as it needed to be, but that's what Sunday is for right? I'm out.

Sharing Sheets

Hey everyone, let's party.





Have a good night everyone. It's Friday, dance away that stress. I'm out.

Take Over

School decided to kick me in the teeth these last few days. Here's some music I'm using to forget the fact my mouth is still bleeding.

He's Canadian! Oh yeah! Plus his music is enjoyable, which is [b]really[/b] the important thing here.

Here's some wubwub from two top names in making Alien communication music.


Here's a relatively new female mashup duo out of NY. Clever album name too, Girls Talk. I had a good chuckle, so give a listen and throw some love their way.


I know,not all of them have downloads,but this is what I've been listening to for the last few days, sorry about my infrequent posting. I still love you guys, I'm just super busy with school. My twitter will update when I do post so follow that to not miss any music ♥

I'm out guys, keep on dancing.

Tweet

Dream One Day

Oh boy, back to school, so as usual I'm not prepared. Here you guys go, enjoy the tunes. Even tossed in a mashup, that's an oddity lately.

These guys kill it.



I hope you enjoy them, sorry for the rush. I'm out!

Mixed Results

Here we go again, another bunch of tunes. G-Eazy just dropped a new track three or four days ago, I just heard it two days ago, it was pretty damn good. His smooth styles and old pop samples are great. Of course, this time he's working with small time artist Dominique LeJeune. Check them both out, her voice is perfect and his verses smooth.

I had honestly completely forgotten about Eat More Cake until a last night when I heard one of the songs of his I have on my iPod while I was doing some work. Regardless, his tunes are killer so I decided to give a little love to him, and it's due for sure. This is pretty different from most of his stuff, but still kills it.

I'm not sure if I've talked about Brenton Duvall before but he's pretty damn talented, as proved by his production skills on this OnCue track. Like damn, it's impressive. Not to over-shadow OnCue, he does an amazing job spitting on this tune, listen up, maybe you'll learn something.


That's all for today. Expect the next post up Monday Morning, I'm traveling on Sunday so I doubt I'll get one up. I'm out.

Washed Out

A few days ago this guy sent me his stuff. I finally got around to checking it out, not bad. So check it out, give him some love,it's a nice chill track.

I know there isn't a free download, but give the track a listen, it's so dance inspiring. I'm loving the big room sounds he's got going on.

I spent some time looking for new music to post, being back at my parent's place I'm spending my time catching up with friends and homework, not finding new music. Thankfully I was saved by an Inner Worlds track he dropped a few days back. He knocks it out of the part again, hitting my mood perfectly.


I know, these kind of posts are weird, not following my other set up. Oh well, I'm out.


Tweet

Extravaganza!

I told you I'd be away for a few days, and it ended up being quite a bit longer then expected. So to make it up to you, here's some music I've been rocking in the last few days.


No download on the next track, but it's so good I had to post it.

A friend showed me this new deadmau5 track stub a few minutes after it broke and it already had 10K+ hits. Seriously, he's killing it. Also, if this track is any indication, he's shifting back towards the prog-house side of the spectrum which is where, personally, some of his best work is. I'd totally be down with a Strobes sequel.

And because it is Spring Break, here's a track to dance to.


This is a weird time to post for me, but I'm on break so normalcy is gone. Anyways, I hope to regain it. Enjoy the tracks, I'm out!

Terminally Unattracitve

I'm sorry, but even after not posting for a few days because of school, I now don't have time to post a big nice pretty post because I'm just about packing to leave for reading break. So here's some great music, you should enjoy it. New post up sometime in the next few days ♥



These guys are Canadian, so that's just awesome. And the track is sweet, which implies that in total, they are sweetawesome. I can't think of anything clever. However, check out this if you want a dubstep laugh. Honestly, it's just great.

Like I said, I'm rush. Post again in a few days. I'm out!

We Can Dance!

I know I missed a day, but it is one of the several weeks from hell I get to experience each semester. So deal with it! And check back decently frequently, because you love new music ♥. I don't normally due this, but because it is Spring Break, well soon for me, already upon some of you, Kap Slap just dropped a mix for the occasion. And damn, it's banging. Usually, I have no attention span so I can't listen to things that last an hour without skipping it, this time however, I enjoyed every damn second. Check it out! It's free, as he says, just bump it.


A friend sent me that picture, and it probably is a lot less funny to those of you who are not sleep deprived. I however, found it hilarious. Anyways, I haven't posted a dubstep track in quite some time I don't think so I figured one was about due. So here's a Weeknd track that got remixed by Chicago based Red Mob. They added some wubs,some wobbles and some hammers. Check them out, it's a free download, so be sure to check them out a bit more then usual, because hey, supporting free music leads to more free music!


Oh yeah, and it's Valentine's day or something, so if you've forgotten, you're completely fucked. But try to make a last ditch effort? If you didn't, I wish you all smooth sailing with whomever you want to express your passion to. That's enough heartfelt-ness to last a life time, I'm out.

Can You Be

Wow, might I actually be on time, without missing time? Oh man, this is a miracle! Here's mash up superstars The Hood Internet with a track they dropped a few days ago. I had to think if I actually liked it. I think it's mainly the Phantogram beat that makes me love it, because I'm not a huge fan of Wiz, but this mix totally works, and it does get me in the mood to spend my life dancing. What else are mashups for?


I don't know anything about this guy, he's Russian, that's about all I know. Maybe I'd know more if I spoke Russian, however until then, you should know he loves 90's rap and making oldschool rap beats. It's a nice change of pace, check him out.

Take A Walk

This post will be going up a bit later then usual, I overestimated the time it would take to finish some things up this morning. Not to worry, here we go with it! Lancelot in this sense is not a knight of the round table, but instead an artist from Australia. I'd never heard of him before this, but without hearing the original because I currently don't have time, it sounds like he's got some talent. The remix is done by another Australasian, Frames, who's musical prowess I can attest to. Nonetheless, check them out this song, and more of their stuff.


Next up we have a remix by San Fran based White Noize. They did a banging job of amping up the bass hits and turning this track into one that makes you want to dance, check it out!


I love the increase in free music on the web now, it's glorious. I'm out!

Lovely Basslines

So I decided to post this song last night, so at this point I'm dedicated to it, but I'm sure at this point it's flying all over the blogosphere just because I saw it spike up last night. I haven't actually checked around, either way, here it is. The Knocks are a NYC based production Duo that have done some pretty huge things in the last little while, they've worked with huge pop names as well as some the biggest names in electronic music, deadmau5 and Calvin Harris jump to mind. And if I'm not mistaken they toured with Ellie Goulding, I'm so jealous, her voice is amazing. Just like these guys' beats. The original was great, so many mixes of it and this one sticks out, listen loud.


So I haven't shown very much Indie-electronic love lately, so I figured I'd switch that up with a track from Owsey who is apparently rather well known considering this track has gotten...well a bunch of plays in less then a day. So check it out, I hope you'll love it.


The picture is from Owsey's facebook. He has some pretty cool photos up so you should check him out. Anyways, I'm out.


Oh yeah, I blogged about MartyParty a little while ago, if you liked it, he dropped his album yesterday, so go check it out here, also some Tour Info.

We All Need Time

I know, I missed a day, so without further adieu, here's some music. It's old, and great.
Smile Like You Mean It(Madeon Remix)-The Killers

Next there's two remixes of a Fenech Soler song, you decide which one you like better. I'm torn.
First, is Minnesota who's based out of California. Check him out, he drops a bunch of free music.
Demons(Minnesota Remix)
On the other side is Sigma, they're pretty famous. Check them out too, you have to pay for their music and it's totally worth it.
Demons(Simga Remix)

I should have some new music for you next post. I'm out!

Call Me

This is Big K.R.I.T, a hip-hop artist I honestly cannot say I knew anything about before I heard this song. It's been going crazy all over the internet, so I figured I'd share it with you guys. He's got an EP coming out, and as I look over his releases it surprises me I haven't heard his name before. Regardless, he kills it on this track, the kind of lyrics that made the greats the best, and makes people spend hours writing 16s. Chill out, relax, take a second to take it in.


In the totally opposite direction, we have a slammin' remix from Ecto Cooler, an LA based producer that is bringing electro to dance floors all over, flying through the rest of the pack and playing at some huge venues. Na Palm is a Hip-Hop artists that I've blogged about before, he's still killin' it as far as I can tell. It's nice to see people working different genres together, creates the kind of synergy that leads to the biggest tracks.


I told you I was busy, but hey, I can't live without new music, so why should you. I'll hopefully get back to a longer(ish) posting once midterms die down. Oh wait, they won't.

I'm out.

Give A Damn

I know, the post is up later then it should be, I'm sorry about that but I had a Fire Drill this morning so I didn't have time to write up my post. Sorry about that. So SOPA is at least for the moment gone, I didn't talk about it on here because while I didn't think it was a good idea, I'm about making you dance, not politics. However, when I can combine the two... Let's just say Arion kills it. Keep sharing that word! Let me keep doing this ♥


I know, I've posted about Go Periscope before, and I know that this isn't a new song or anything. But hey, I told you I was rushed! I hope you can forgive me, but this song has been playing in my head for quite a while. Enjoy it, it's slammin'.


I'm outie for now.

Scale It Back

So with midterms closing in it's time to begin slamming my face into books even more then I already am. I can't do that without music though, so I here's some delicious treats that I found in the last few days. First up we have Styles & Complete, two guys from North Carolina that produce a heavily hip-hop influenced style of electronic music. And damn, they kill it. Check them out, show them some love and all that, they've blowing up.
Slam The Heartbeat (Styles&Complete Mash) Childish Gambino vs. Zedd by Styles&Complete

In a totally different direction is a remix of a College song, I really don't know anything about the guy that did the remix, but he does a pretty damn good job. So check him out, and totally check out this indie-electronic masterpiece.
College Ft. Electric Youth - A Real Hero (Seeley TMK Remix) by Seeley

I hope this helps you through your day. I'm out.

We Are Connected

It's Friday, once again. So in spirit of that, here's a complete banger of a track by Klaypex. Even more awesome, it's free, it says buy but it's just a re-direct to buy so check it out and pump it louder.
On a side note, the sample is genius, the quality of production is fantastic, Klaypex is showing signs of being the a monster.
Feel Alright (Daft Punk) by Klaypex

This picture made my day just a little bit better so I decided it was share-worthy. Excuse me for being silly.

I try to get you guys super fresh music, but it doesn't always work out like that. Like yesterday, I found some new music that had just dropped and said to myself "Oh yeah, this'll work for sure tomorrow!", as it so happens, most of the songs I had this thought about are not in the 20 top at hypemachine, so fresh is a bit out of the question. So this is a bit older, and doesn't have a download, but still, the rework of an old hero is usually bad. This time, turned out to be amazing.
Röyksopp vs Thin White Duke - What Else Is There (Neon Stereo 2012 Refix) by neonstereo

Listen loud, have a good weekend everyone, time for me to hit the bottle, then the slopes tomorrow. I'm out!

Find Solace

I know I missed a day, I decided to go skiing both days this weekend and then I came home and slammed my face into homework. However, now it's Monday and I'm...well I can't really be sad I spent the weekend skiing. Regardless, it's music time! I posted about Carousel a little while ago, and they're still awesome. They even e-mailed me to tell me about a song they released, which I promptly didn't see because I usually check my e-mail when I need to find something for a class like how it's cancelled and I showed up anyways... No matter, here it is, check it out.
Know It's Right-Carousl

In something totally different, here's ¥oin is a British electronic producer who makes the catchiest remix of a Cassie song. Yes, you read that right, a popstar(whom I didn't realize was so attractive) that has had, so far, pretty much one successful song. Still, her voice is amazing and ¥oin does an great job of layering vocals and making the already enjoyable melody even more foot-tapping.
Me & U(Yoin Remix)-Cassie
I'm off to class and dealing with my poor, but enjoyable, time management skills. Hope the music helps you get through your days as much as it is mine, I'm out.
