This is an electronic music blog dedicated to giving you the songs that you need to hear, both brand new and some old classics. One song (at least) is blogged every day Monday through Friday. There is a layout of songs posted throughout the week and it is as follows:
Monday and Friday - Funk
Tuesday and Thursday - Any Genre
Wednesday - Bangers
Friday is in Funk full swing with an IndieDance track and a Future Funk track. The first is an IndieDance track from Trade Secrets called Stay Together. It has a great groovy mellowed out feel to it, while still being very capable of getting people off their butts onto the dance floor! I love this one a lot and hope that you do too!
Second up is a Future Funk track from Matabei called No Doubt, and this one got me in a great mood driving to work this morning. A great driving bassline and the funky feel that I know and love all too well. The vocals feel very classic funk, and the beat only mimics that and amplifies it massively. Give these two a listen and enjoy!
So I have been talking for some time about my love about rap mixed with electronic, and this song from Excision and The Frim featuring Messinian is exactly what I'm talking about. Plus it is a little spooky and I haven't been able to find many halloween tracks this year. The rap is fast, but it works so well with heavy bass and intense feel that X Up provides. Give it a listen and let the rap take you away!
Today's first track comes from Breno and is called Alive, and this is a very good typical feel good track. Its got great vocals, features an unexpected guitar, and just overall is a really well put together. The drop isn't anything insane, but it is still something that got me dancing in the car. And that staggered second drop caught me off guard! Enjoy!
An unexpected track from The Chainsmokers that the fraternity men I live with got me hooked on. It's called Roses and it is a really slick song, great groove and a really nice bass rhythm. The song feels really smooth and I love it. I have not expected things from the Chainsmokers to be good, and this was a nice surprise.
Today's funk track brings together hip hop and glitch hop into a really great and funky track. Televisor and Splitbreed come together to make this track with some of the best flow I have heard in some time. I love how Hip Hop and Electronic genres have been combining because they do pair really well together! Give it a listen and enjoy!
First up is one of the happiest songs I have heard in some time, called Chasing Clouds by MOWE. It has a insaly chilled out tropical house feel mixed in with really great tonality and vocal sample that sounds smooth as butter. This song put me in such a good mood this morning and I hope it does the same for you!
Second up on this rare edition of Mashup Monday we have a mashup track from The White Panda featuring Kygo and Misterwives and it is amazing. Seeming like a throwback to their first album, this one carries their unique sound as well as perfectly combining two artists and sequences that no one thought to use. The song is beautiful, and is for sure worth your time and picking up the free download!
MOWE - Chasing Clouds
The White Panda - Reflection Stone (MisterWives // Kygo) (Free Download)
Today's track comes from Lemaitre and is called Closer. It has a really great big bass and horn sequences, usually together, that really give the track a groovy vibe. The vocals feel very throwback too and go really well with the rhythms Lemaitre presents. The horns give it a really unique ska feel that isn't seen in electronic very often. Overall a great track with a really slick vibe!
Second up is a really groovy and relaxing deep house track from Mario Ochoa called When You Move. This one really put me in a good place, with its constant movement, chilled out tonality, and great progression. Give this one a listen and I hope it mellows you out same as it did for me!
First song today is from Snails called Frogbass, now let me warn you that this one is a bit strange but I really pick up what it's putting down. It has a strange tonal bass track that caught me totally off guard. Like I said, its strange, but it has a bizarre flow and arrangement to it that really caught my attention. I hope you rock out to it as much as I did!
Also up today is a banger remix of The Night from 3LAU and Nom De Strip from ak9. This one had everything I like; classic vocals, a great progression, a dash of funk vibe, and a big drop that left me with a smile on my face and groovin in my car. Give this one a listen because it is one of the best electro remixes I have heard in some time. Enjoy!
EDEN is pretty great in terms of chilled out stuff, and when Pierce Fulton got his hands on their track Nocturne, the winner of this is everyone with ears. It has got the great chill vibe mixed with the progressive and electro sound that I love Fulton for.Give this a listen, because I promise you will love it.
Second up today is a remix from John Dahlback, who has honestly been on fire lately. Lost Frequency's track Reality has been one I have enjoyed but I just haven't found that one that I love, and I think I finally found it! Reality has always been one of those tracks that has had potential but never really sounded right, and John Dahlback gives it the extra boost it needs!
First up today is a track from Getsix called The Time Traveler, a really solid Electro track. It has the tonality that you all know I love and crave as well as some glitchy elements mixed in. A great feeling, and a song that I feel like would be in the background as you travel forward in time to the future. Give it a listen!
Second up today is a really groovy track from Auvic called Show Me Your Moves. It features a small amount of vocal work but it has that classic feel to it that I just can't resist. A great funk groove mixed with killer tonality and progression, this one for sure got my week off to a funky start!
So I heard this song yesterday and I literally can't stop thinking about it, its a strange song but it filled me with so much joy. Nanobii is usually known for his hardcore, with one of my favorite songs ever being Rainbow Road. This one is of the very similar happy hardcore tracks that he has become well known for, and with a name like Bumblebee Bazooka it is hard to not fall in love. Give it a listen and I hope that the rest of your weekend is both hardcore and happy!
Today's first funk track is a remix of Alexander Brown's track Jack in the Box by SPYZR. It is funky as all hell, has a great groove to it, and features a really cool music video of people free running in LED suits. The visuals match up beautifully and the song really just makes me want to get up and dance, even though I'm at work and would look like a fool doing it.
Second up is a really funky R&B track from Pasha featuring Soul Gem. It has a great relaxed soulful vibe to it, and the vocals are much better than the usual stuff we get out of electronic music these days. It is far from generic, and I was skeptical about it at first but as the song played I became lost in it. Give it a listen, enjoy, and expect a bonus post this weekend!
Coming in with a badass name, Icy Lust comes in with Downtown Maglev, one of the most unique songs that I have heard in a damn long time. It seems like a hybrid between a rock song and electronic, using the classic guitar solo and then bringing in a synth and great melody to take over. The song is really different, but in the best way possible. It took me a few listens to really appreciate it I think, but now I really enjoy the style (which I have no idea what the hell it would even be).
Welcome back to Banger Wednesday, featuring a track I hope you have already heard and a new one! The track I hope you have already heard is a Pegboard Nerds track that I honestly thought I posted a long time ago! Its strange, it features a sick and bizarre banjo, and just gets stuck in my head for weeks in my head. Swamp thing is a little outside their usual style, but then again so was Pink Cloud and that was magical!
Second up is a remix from Shanahan of Jus Jack and Speed Limit's track All Falls Down. The builds are really quality, with a lot of different instruments, a great vocal track, and a drop that surprised me a little bit. It may seem a bit generic, but I really loved this one. Sit back, relax, and enjoy these tracks. Hopefully back to dailies tomorrow!
Pegboard Nerds - Swamp Thing
Jus Jack & Speed Limit - All Falls Down (Shanahan Remix)
Today's track comes from Fractal, and it's killer. The track is named Collide and it is a really chill Dubstep track that had me head bobbing sitting alone at my computer. It features great vocals from Danyka Nadeau that work perfectly with the beautiful melodies that Fractal provides. It is memorable, catchy as hell, and just proves that not all dubstep has to be in your face insanity. Enjoy!
Christina Novelli has been one of my favorite vocalists in electronic music for some time, and her new song only continues that belief. Her voice is amazing and adds so much to both electronic and acoustic music alike! Even if you aren't a fan of her, check out her new song and the acoustic version. It is beautiful. Enjoy!
Today on this holy of funk days, we have a futurebass track from Prince Fox called Wait Until Tomorrow. It has a great glitchy vibe, along with some really great glitchy vibe. All together a really well put together track, pretty bass heavy and just well put together!
I also have a really chilled out Glitch Hop track from Sunsquabi called Anytime. This one is a bit slower but still has a really killer vibe from the great tonality present, mixed with a really great bassline. Overall a really great Glitch track! For sure worth looking into!
Today's track comes from Stonebank, a powerhouse lately. With his killer remix of The Girl, he has been on my radar all year. His track electro track Blast from the Past is phenomenal, its got great flow, tonality, groovy, and a memorable progression. It is really great to hear something from Stonebank that iwsn't super intense, instead a great groovy original!
Todays track comes from Arrowhead called Lucid, a melbourne bounce track. I have a hard time with this genre because usually the songs sound like they are either trying too hard or just coming across super generic. I enjoyed this one because of the simplicity. Its a banger while at the same time being a solid bounce song that doesn't fit the genre specs but is still dancy and catchy as hell.
Also up today is a track from Mike Solar and Tommy Rich called New Life. The beginning of it strangely reminded me of Avicii's very early music back before all his huge hits. The song has great flow, great melody, and a very dancey vibe to go along with it. Its melodic, its beautiful, and its worthy!
Saturday Night is quickly climbing in my ranks, because SN's new track Sheriff has me craving for more. Sheriff has an insane buildup that honestly had me worried, but the sweet instrumentation of the simple drop really got me excited. I was debating saving this for banger Wednesday, but between the beautiful snapping section and the simplistic drop, I figured this one was much more of a headphone banger. Give it a listen and enjoy!
Also up hilariously, is the Pokemon Remix of Ramstar's track Route 24. This one is a little strange, I won't lie to you. It was intriguing enough though, and after getting past all the random "pika pika" moments, I actually really enjoyed this. The melody is memorable, with a new twist and plenty of pokemon sounds, and classic melodies that most of us grew up with. Check it out and let me know if you like it!
So I have a some songs for you all, as well as a request. So I plan on doing a funk mix for a demo for some raves, and I need to know if there are any songs that you guys love that I should include! The first is a Drum and Bass track from Priority One and TwoThirds called Hunted. With vocals from Jonny Rose, this one really made me happy. This track has amazing tonality mixed with a great groove and overall great feel. Drum and Bass has been one of my favorite genres ever since I discovered Pendulum back in high school, and Songs like this are the reason why.
Ever since Raven, I have been keeping an eye out for new stuff from John Dahlback, and his new track does not disappoint. Atlantis is nowhere near as intense, but it does have a lot to bring to the table. A beautiful melody mixed with a great bass, this song really got stuck in my head fast!
So if you enjoyed the Pegboard Nerds song from yesterday Pink Clouds, then I have some really cool news. Pegboard is donating all sales from their merch, music, and new EP Pink Cloud which comes out October 23rd to help fight Breast Cancer. If there was ever a reason to pay for a good cause, I say music is one of them.
First song up on this holiest of Funky Fridays is from Slanger called The Way You Love Me. This FutureFunk track features a lot of piano and beautiful melodies, while really throwing in that funk groove and making me car dance like a goddamn idiot. A great groovy track to get you into the weekend!
Also up today is a GhettoFunk track from Slynk called We Come To Party. This one kinda concerned me, but once I started it I knew that I was wrong. The very dirty sounding funk rhythms really work well with the rap and soul feel. Kinda reminds me of the soundtrack to Undercover Brother from a long time ago. Enjoy these and I will see you on Monday!
Pegboard released a song that I had to double check that it was actually Pegboard Nerds who released it. This one seems nothing like I've ever heard from them. Slower, good vocals, and altogether beautiful. Pink Clouds is a jump into new territory for them, and I hope to see them do it more because they absolutely killed it!
Also up today is a sweet Indie Dance track from Pylot called Blurred Vision. It has a very Tron feel to it and it is a really groovy track. Not in the way that Funk usually is, but in a very relaxed dance vibe. Give it a listen and let me know if you like it!
