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.

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!

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.

Happy December!

It's fucking December! Get stoked! I love this time of year, less school, more snow,skiing and Christmas! It's just so exciting all the time! So I am, pretty amped. Anyways, in music news, if you've been on Hypem you'll have noticed that OVERWERK dropped his EP yesterday. So I figure I should probably give a review of it, as he was part of TGCHU! and I've shown them quite a bit of love. He's a Toronto based producer who's single Buzzin' burst him into the music scene a little while ago. His EP, titled The Nth º, is continuous mix, which I think is almost always a good idea, especially because it's not awkward when played not in consecutive order. It's very upbeat, with a definite Electro influence, hearing an album today that doesn't have a dubstep track is a nice change. Here's a song from it, so listen loud, and check out the whole thing, it's worth your time.
Paradigm-OVERKWERK & Nick Nikon

So I try really hard to have a very diverse posting of music, but when Rusko and Mike Posner come around and pump out a great song it's hard to ignore the fact that it's there. So two electronic songs it is, I'm a big fan of Mike Posner's voice, he's done some pretty big things as far as convincing me that guys should stay away from singing unless they're playing a guitar, and this is totally different from what I've heard. Shut Up is less sweet vocals and more rhymes, which actually works alright for me. Rusko provides a delicious beat and Posner makes sure to deliver in the vocals department.

Asian Obsession

Happy Weekend everyone! Depressingly, I'm not skiing right now, but that's because it wasn't worth the trip. So that makes me feel a bit better, but still sad. So to drown my sorrows here's an upbeat remix by the up and coming Standford based duo, Sex Ray Vision. They give out a ton of free music, and that they're genre when you download their music "Awesome", so that just proves it.
Paradise(Sex Ray Vision Remix)-Coldplay
Also, ever notice how remix-able Coldplay is? I didn't until just now.

And here we have a remix of a KPop song, because I'm that obsessed with Girl's Generation, their cuteness is just so powerful. And because Robotaki does an amazing job of making an already upbeat song even more dance worthy with poppy beats and delicious melodies. So he also gives out free music, totally check it out. Even better, he's Canadian!
The Boys(Robotaki Remix)-Girl's Generation

So there you have it, hope your weekend goes well everyone, I'm out!

No Light

Happy Thursday everyone, let's get right into it. A nice upbeat remix of an Avicii song, you shoulda known I'd post it up. I'm still super sad that I can't go see him on boxing day, but that's just the way that it goes, so here's something make you wish it was Friday already.
Enough is Enough(Project 46 Bootleg)-Avicii

You have to know how much I hate posting something by Drake, I really don't like him. But Star Slinger does such an amazing job on this remix I just HAVE to post it. So here it is, making me feel dirty.
Over My Dead Body(Star Slinger Remix)-Drake

Now I need to go resign myself to music hell for posting something by Drake... So have a good day, I'm out!

We All Go

So I sadly haven't had much time to find new music in the last few days so this could be an interesting post. But here we are, with a remix of a Calvin Harris song, a delicious melody mixed with some not-too-over-the-top dubstep-iness. The angelic vocals over top mixed with the lulls and the piano backing makes this song pretty damn awesome in my opinion.
Flashback(Millions Like Us Remix)-Calvin Harris

And in complete opposite, the beautiful voiced (and looking) French-Canadian Coeur De Pirate. She covers a The Weeknd song which is good to start with so this combonation was a good thing from the very start.
Wicked Games(The Weeknd Cover)-Coeur De Pirate

So enjoy these two songs on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Have a good one, I'm out!

Every Other Way

So my mouse died yesterday, it served me so well... I'm really sad I had to pick up another one last night to fill in for it while I decide if I want to spend some actual money on one because I'm much to big of a nerd to just buy one and go with it at this point. Any suggestions? The one I picked up has a pinky rest and it's driving me crazy so I know I don't want one of those, it makes typing feel really weird because I have to hold my mouse super cramped up. Anyways, after that aside of showing just how super cool I am... Music!!

Super ambient/whatever you want to call it for the first two songs today. We've talked about Germany Germany and how much I love him, seriously he's fantastic. His indie-electronic vibe is just great for so many reasons. So here' something by him. And to compliment that something by someone who has music quite similar, Baths.
Dance-Germany Germany
Aminals-Baths
ps,not a typo in the name

So this song was good to start with, two of the biggest names in production, not only of House and various other forms of electronic music but both have worked on some huge pop hits which is impressive simply because you have to be pretty damn good to be hired by a AAA record label. Anyways, I don't understand how but Avicii played 3 shows in Halloween and none of them were on my side of the country. He is apparently going to Vancouver for Boxing day which if that's the case there is a high possibility I'll be going to that. I hope anyways. Anyways,check out Special Features, he's going off like crazy.
Sunshine(Special Features Bootleg)-Avicii & Guetta

Hope this will help you get to the end of the week, the promise of a nearby ski hill opening on November 24th and not early December made my week,but music always helps. I'm out guys ♥

Somebody Told Me

So the Canucks lost last night, and there are riots in the streets, well there were last night, and it was super sketchy down there. Cars got exploded, drugs were spread around and fights broke out. So with that over shadowing everything I decided to go with a nice up beat dance and party song.

Ryan Conway is one of the three contributing artists on this track, and they all hail from the Toronto area, so big props for that. Love to see Canada pumping out some great tunes, even if it does have a Dutch feel. So Conway and Andy's iLL provide the fantastic bassline that would fill nearly any dance floor, in a packed club or the carpet in your room. Add into that the smoothly drug infused lyrics of Will Steep known as The Girls Can Hear Us!

Now these three along with Zeds Dead represent something really good coming out of Canada. Thanks to the internet, and yes blogs in particular ♥, have allowed people to hear the talent that Canada has, so big ups to you guys from "doin' something big, shout it out, shut it down". Keep it classy now Vancouver.

Enjoy the beats, spread some love this Friday, kick off Summer strong. I'm out!

Wow, forgot to post the song, that's embarrassing. Sorry, early mornings and all...

Walking On A Dream

So I've got some sad news, this is going to be a short post, and that I won't be posting again until Friday. This is my LAST WEEK of high school. Ever. Ahhhh! Also, half of my classes have in class finals so I've been studying my brain out and will be until Friday, at which point, I'm done! Anyways, now that you know that, onto the music.

Two North American Artists come to you this very sunny Monday morning. Well it is here anyways. Kaskade and Dragonette are American and Canadian respectively, and they've both received international acclaim. This song actually got some radio play which is kinda cool as a dance music fan, however this song hovers on the border of "dance" and "pop" but regardless it's enjoyable. So until Friday, I can't provide you with anymore tantalizingly tasty music. Have a good week everyone, I'm out!


Fire In Your New Shoes-Kaskade & Dragonette

Are We Friends?

Alright let's see how fast I can get this post up. Hopefully really soon. A slow indie song about..something with a melancholic tone and a very sad sounding voice. Not something I'm usually into,but here we go.

The Rural Alberta Advantage is an indie based with members from Alberta, that's part of the prairies in Canada, that now operate out of Ottawa. This song is pretty relaxed, and by that I mean that it's super depressing in tone. The words are entirely up to you for choice on how it feels. But there's my opinion. Indie is pretty new to me. So there we go. So here's my rushed post, so enjoy it as much as I do. Yeah, Bad post I know, I'm sorry. ♥

In the Summertime-The Rural Alberta Advantage

Like You Mean It

Okay so a couple things, first off when I started this post I wasn't planning to post the second song, but I heard it and it was the first remix of Raise Your Weapon that wasn't terrible I've heard, and I love deadmau5 so deal, more awesome music! Also, I'm sick, so that's my excuse for my short post.

Move.Meant is who this post was going to focus around, but then I realized that I really do not know much about this California based hip-hop group that flows with a distrubing amount of similarity to the legendary Common. Of course, it isn't quite there and few of Move.Meant's lines are covered in cliche. Make no mistake, this is not to say that the song is not amazing, it is for sure one of the few true hip-hop song's I've stumbled upon recently.

Madeon is a young French electronic producer that exploded a little while ago, and then again a few days ago when Pete Tong gave his delicious remix of Raise Your Weapon some Radio 1 play and the whole world turned their eyes to this kid. His style is French electro for sure, but it's nice to see a Frenchmen get some play on an English station, jokes.

Anyways, I'm feeling like death so enjoy the songs, I know I sure did. Have a good few days, I'm out.


Can't Call It-Move.Meant

F.Y.I.F. Vol.8

This post is late, yes, I know, but I have a reason for that! Blogger was down last night and this morning, so there's my reasoning... But anyways what this amounts to is me putting this post up later, but hopefully that's not a big deal! So today we've got these two songs, both very trance-ish, so enjoy the feeling of the night, and embrace it.

Tim Berg is also Avicii, so he's remixing himself. That threw me off when I realized that they were the same person. No idea why he uses two different alias's on the same track, but I that's just how it goes I guess. His real name is Time Bergling and he's 21, yeah that's right, 21, and from Sweden. Scandinavia really has good electronic musicians,damn! He has started collaborating with big names, as big as Tiesto, and stuff like that. He's also on the remixed Tron album with Daft Punk, another big accomplishment. He's gone on a world tour and this song got #1 all over the place, I even heard it on a top40 station and lost my mind! Sadly, it didn't spread as much over here, but still, a great song, with a good dance bassline and some lyrics that make me feel like I should be at a club or driving late at night. As you can tell, I'm a big fan of this song.

Mansions On the Moon is someone that we've talked about before. They make some pretty sick songs, with the production help of Diplo, the American superstar. Junior Boys are a Canadian indie-electronic group that have the original song. They're pretty cool, in recent years they've risen from bedroom producing to some top10 album placements. But anyways, the remix does some pretty good stuff for the song, giving it more chillwave and less indie. But there's my opinion.

So one dance song and one chillwave for the late night trying to fall asleep moments, and you're all set for your Friday night, hope you guys enjoy it, again sorry for the lateness of the post. I'm out!

Bromance(The Love You Seek)(Avicii's Remix)-Tim Berg

Shoes and Cars

So as we wade into the week it becomes pretty damn clear that...it's not gunna be any different. So to spice things up a bit, I decided to throw in a fantastic song from last year. Well, awesome remix of an already good song. It's only downfall, is that I can't understand the song cause it's in French... Yes, Canadian I might be, but French-Canadian I am not. Still, I heard once that the melody is the "sex" of the song, while the lyrics are it's personality, so I guess it all works out!

Coeur De Pirate is, like I alluded to, a French-Canadian indie-pop singer. Impressive at her stardom as she's still the young age of 21 and getting international acclaim. She sings nearly exclusively in French, with like one song in English or something like that. But her voice is the kind that sends shivers up and down my spine, and I can't understand her! She's pretty big here, but Quebec isn't the biggest market, but she has won the French equivalent of a Grammy, and that's where her largest fan base is. Just so you know, her voice does not match up with how she looks for me, but that's pretty stereotypical of me, so sorry for that.

Anyways, this song makes me so happy, it's something you can put on and just listen to, without thought of the past, or future. Just vibe. It's nice, Le Matos and Andy Carmichael do a very nice job of turning this already great song into something memorable that, while, that's lasted as memorable for the last year. For me anyways. Of course, this is entirely a personal opinion, and I hope you guys like the song. Oh and if you're interested in what the lyrics actually mean, take a gander at the translation.

I hope you enjoyed the song, it's musical attraction is too strong for me to resist, hopefully you feel the same. Have a good day, or two. See you then, I'm out!

Comme Des Enfants(Le Matos & Andy Carmichael Remix)-Coeur De Pirate

Save The World

Today we've got an interesting song, especially for this Easter Monday, I hope everyone is enjoying their big dinners and abundance of chocolate eggs. A dubstep banger to wake you guys up from your daze of laziness, and to penetrate your brain by way of ear drums. So, without further adieu, here is a massive blast from the past years of video gaming.

So I hope everyone reading this played Ocarina of Time for the N64 because if not, you really missed out on a very enjoyable game. But, that's a minor issue now, what's more important is that if you haven't, this song will not inspire as much nostalgia as it did for me. Anyways, Ephixa is a Canadian electronic music producer from Toronto. Seems ever musician from Canada comes from either Toronto or Montreal, but again, irrelevant. He started out producing Hardstyle, a very aggressive genre that I discovered a few years ago, and fell in love with for a time. Well lust is probably a better term, it's fun for a romp but doesn't have any complexity to it. Anyways, after that, he made the pretty easy connection to dubstep. Another hard hitting genre that lives in the bass. Anyways, he's starting to get some deserved recognition.

This song is pretty much the most nostalgia I've ever felt, and it certainly was nice to hear recently as I head into university, it's good to remember years before. The samples of the flute in this song are good contrast the the absolute hammer of dubstep. The Navi samples are nice, even though in game that voice was the MOST annoying thing ever. The change in pace is good, something lost on many producers, pedal to the metal all the time is fine, but the change in pace makes the drops that much more impressive.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed your holidays and this song is not a bad way to end them I hope. I'm out!


Lost Woods-Ephixa

Serene Sensations

I know, I didn't get a post up yesterday, I'm sorry. Two tests later today, that's my legitimate excuse for not writing. Don't leave me, we're just getting to know each other. Anyways, today we have a beauty of a song by some guy that hails from Victoria that we've listened to before, Germany Germany.

Honestly, I do not understand his name, but that's just how it goes. He is Drew Harris, a Victoria,BC native. Oh hell yeah, throw it up for my province! Anyways,he started making waves last year as he pumped out content fast and it was good. An indie electro flow that caught the attention of some top flight blogs and rocketed up Hype Machine, and better yet most of it was FREE! Check his music out that's up on Distorted Disco. Anyways, he's got a lo-fi sound mixed with the skratchi-ness(totally a word) of basement production, constantly giving the impression of a tactile thing. Just my impression, but it seems so much more real, and starting live shows with an amalgamation of other Victoria artists, they some how pull of a live showing of this music. Honestly, I'm impressed, and I'm hoping I get the chance to go see GG sometime in May when they come to Vancouver. But, if not, that's how it goes, I still love the music!

Couple things here, the music is below on SoundCloud because I wanna give respect where respect is due, and because the link was on my Facebook front page and I'm lazy. So download it from there, or if that doesn't work, you can get it here from his website. Next thing is the music video for the song. It's by an indie film maker from Germany, actually from Germany, not an impostor, and it's clips from a full film that uses lots of Harris' music. Soooo I encourage you to check it out but it's really up to you. I like it, which is weird because alot of indie stuff I just lose my mind when they try to be clever and end up being pompous asshats. But, I digress, the music is amazing and that's all that it really boils down too.

I hope you guys love the song as much as I do, I've listened to it a stupid amount of times in the last weekish, and I still want to put it on repeat and just vibe. Anyways, I'm out!


Take Me Home by Germany Germany

Dining to Dubstep

Last night I had nothing to do, which was kinda depressing but that's just how it goes. Anyways, I decided to make dinner and listen to a backlog of dubstep that's been sitting on my iTunes for a few weeks without ratings, and I hate when my songs don't have ratings. Anyways, I stumbled across this gem in the middle of my meal and lost my mind. A perfect fit for eating, a nice chillwave dubstep with some very clear vocals over top. Anyways, to you I present this.

James Vincent McMorrow is the man we can thank for this song, he's an Ireland native who recorded and played all his music for his debut album Early in the Morning. A feat to say the least, but even more impressive is that he did it in the middle of no where on the Ireland coast. He got huge acclaim for his work from magazines and blogs all over the world. His vocals are calming and his lyrics tell a story, wading into the mystical at times. To me, he reminds me alot of Elliot Smith. Of course, that's just my opinion, some of you mind not see it all.

Adventure Club are the lovely people that provided the dubstep part of this song. And they did it very nicely indeed. Christian Srigley and Leighton James are a Canadian duo that are from Montreal, perhaps the biggest music central in all of Canada. Anyways, they formed in early 2011, and they are working fast, already produced an EP and getting some big ups from blogs like earmilk and welikeit.indie. They're making a splash for sure, and hopefully this is just the beginning.

So next time you're home alone and you're making dinner, think of this song and blast it, you could be surprised at just how relaxing dubstep can be, until the drop comes and you slam your fork into your hand ♥. Anyways, enjoy the tune everyone, I'm out!


We Don't Eat(Adventure Club Dupstep Remix)-James Vincent McMorrow

F.Y.I.F.! Vol. 6

Gunna be a short post, just a warning. I've got class in a few minutes so I'm typing this up to get it up early, just because I love you guys so much. Also because it acts as a good way to not be doing homework which I should be doing! In any rate, you get some good music with some Canadian influence.

You guys have heard from The Girls Can Hear Us! before, they're a dance rap group from near Toronto, Ontario. As it happens,they now only consist of Will Steep, not the electronic producer Ed Huzzar. However, in this song, they are a team of both. And this is probably the better combination in my humble opinion. Anyways, Mr. Steep provides some sexual lyrics and over some very nice beats.

SposhRock is another Canadian, also hailing from somewhere in Ontario, not sure where, but it does mean that being from the same province, they've probably known each other for some time, as there aren't too many towns where bigger shows happen. Toronto and Ottawa jump to mind. The Dirty Tee's are yet another Canadian duo, also from Ontario, this time from London. Now they are LA based, but their roots make me proud. They are mainly electro producers so this song is a bit different, however the influence unmistakable.

So there you have it, a Canadian dance rap masterpiece. Well, maybe not that far, but for sure good enough to pump through the speakers tonight!


Drugs,Dancin'(The Dirty Tees & SposhRock Remix)-The Girls Can Hear Us!

Deathly Suspense

This is probably going to be a short post, but I'll try to stretch it out a bit longer. Just for you guys, and because this song is on repeat while I write this post and it's a damn awesome song! Usually, when I go to post a song I mash refresh on my iTunes DJ thing until I see a song that I feel like writing, but this time my inspiration came from actually getting a pair of Ray Bans! These ones right here♥

A-Trak is a Montreal born DJ/turntablist that has headlined by merging the hip-hop scene with the dance-electronic scene. And for that sir, I salute you. He's done some pretty big stuff, recording with Kanye West when he was good(Graduation and before), and even producing and releasing Kid Cudi's Day N' Night on his label Fool's Gold. Yeah, he's that fantastic, working with Lupe again when he was good and wrote his own song. Along with all the rap artists he's worked with, he's made plenty of waves in the electronic world, working with people like MSTRCRFT and Boys Noize. As you can tell, I like him.

This song is an upbeat production that marries the dance-inducing feeling electronica brings with some snappy lyrics and swagger of the rap game. It's a good marriage, that doesn't push the boundaries and neither side files for a divorce, they even have children. Sorry, stretched that metaphor WAY past it's limit. Hopefully you get my point, it has just the right amount of each genre to turn out well, and turn out well it does, showing A-Trak's experience with producing this kind of music, he brings it all to the table for a very under-appreciated song.

Like I said, sorry, this post was short, that's how it goes, I still got it up before too late I hope! Have a good one guys, I'm out!
