S2, #5:The Sun is Shining and Let's Move!

 After a FRIGID weekend ( I was in the water in 45 degree weather), I'm so thankful the sun is shining and we are able to move outside again!  Let's kick some things off this week with some songs that might be that motivation you need to get up and move!

Let's start with Run! by Betty Who! She's a rockstar Australian Pop artist who is truly one of my favorites ( I would also recommend High Society) and produces amazing song after amazing song!  This song, lovingly titled Run!, is high energy, full of fun, and the perfect song to kick off this short work week!

Getting excited and hyping things up is the role of the cheerleader, a role filled perfectly by Porter Robinson and his song that came out last year.  This is one of my favorites from last year and is perfectly presents and combines Porter's unique style and genres that work well together!  Give this one a look, get moving, and let it kick off your summer!

Betty Who - Run!

Porter Robinson - Cheerleader

0562 - The Wubs are Back

Welcome back everyone, thank you for being so understanding about that week break, as it was much needed.  Let's get right back to the music.
First up is ODESZA's remix of Porter Robinson's track Infinity, and it is chill as fuck.  The build ups are beautiful, the drops are a little glitchy mixed in with a continuous melody going throughout.  It is a killer remix, and although its not huge, its one that I am glad I got to hear!
Fareoh has been on my "To Watch" list ever since he released 2012 with Archie V roughly 3 years ago.  He only continues to release better and better songs in my opinion.  This one is a bit more chilled out as well, featuring a great groovy baseline.  A great funk feel mixed with electronic movement and vocals that fit the song oh so well.  Enjoy these and I will see you back here tomorrow for more music!

0378 - Totally Not Hungover Anymore

So, sorry everyone.  Yesterday was really rough.  But I am back and better than ever.  So the new thing for this month is Best track of 2014, I am going to post my favorites here and either on the facebook group or in the comments I want you to tell me what your favorite track of the year was.  HERE WE GO!

1. Porter Robinson - Sad Machine (Tut Tut Child Remix)

This remix is amazing chill, and a flawless remix in my opinion.  Still keeping the amazing tonality and progression of Porter's killer song, Tut Tut Child takes this to the next level with a killer remix.  Posted this in June as my remix of the year, and it still holds true.  Give it a listen!

2. SCNDL - The Munsta

This is one my favorite songs to this date.  Bouncy with a phenomenal drop this track just always puts me in a great state of mind.  Not to mention the vocal drop of "THATS WHAT I'M TALKIN BOUT" is just hysterical and amazing.  Easy the best track monstercat has put out this year in my opinion.

3. Rodriguez - Sugar Man (Goldfish Remix)

This song is just everything funk music wants, needs, and desires to be.  This song is just absolutely huge and groovy.  It makes me feel excellent any time that I hear it and just instantly puts me in a good mood.  Funky Fresh and with a Goldfish spin, how can this one not be good.  Give it a listen!

0333 - Half Satan

I know we have a little over a week until the week of Halloween but I want to guarantee you all that I will do my best to find Halloween themed stuff for the entire week.  It may not all be new, but it will be cool I promise you that!

Onto the music for today!

The first is a remix from The Him of Dotan's track Home, a very relaxing a smooth remix.  This one has driving elements and very classic sounding vocals, not really all about the pitch or talking about ridiculous things.  Its stuff that plays the whole time and even fits the very nice and soothing drop.  Give it a listen and let me know what you think!

The other song up for today is the Last Island Remix of Porter Robinson's Fresh Static Snow.  I heard this one before I heard the original of it, and I honestly am drawn to this one a bit more.  Its got great driving chill sound, that flows really well and feels like it should be an end credits song in either a movie or a video game.  Give it a listen and find out for yourself!

Dotan - Home (The Him Remix)

Porter Robinson - Fresh Static Snow (Last Island Remix)

0292 - Let Your Bounce Bounce

First up on this much needed mid-week Banger Wednesday, I have a really slick remix for you.  Those of you who are as pleased with what Porter Robinson has been doing lately, especially with the release of his new album, will love this one.  Lionhearted is clearly becoming one of the most popular tracks off the album, and Arty gets props for turning the remix into something special.  This one has great tonality and melody during the chorus, and even after the drop Arty keeps it melodic.  A great remix overall, check it out!

Second track up for today is a big remix from TJR.  Usually I am iffy in the whole Melbourne Bounce genre.  About 90% of the time it sounds to me like they did a lazy job and all the drops and progressions sound exactly the same.  However, every once in a while I come across one I really like, and today that honor goes to TJR.  His remix of Elliphant and Skrillex's track Getting Younger has a great bouncy feel to it, and he did an excellent job of working the bounce in with the lyrics and making it sound really smooth!  Give it a listen, pick up the free download, and let me know what you think!

Porter Robinson - Lionhearted (Arty Remix)

Elliphant feat. Skrillex - Only Getting Younger (TJR Remix)

0253 - Porter's Comeback

Ever since Sad Machine I have been waiting to see what Porter Robinson Releases next.  The hype for this new album is real, and this song just makes the wait for the album that much more painful.  Lionhearted featuring Urban Cone is seriously a really incredible track.  Its a much different feel then Sad Machine, hopefully meaning the album will have a lot of variety.  Give it a listen, pre-order the album, and all aboard the Hype Train!

Porter Robinson - Lionhearted (feat. Urban Cone)

0247 - My Vote for Remix of the Year

Two Bonuses before we get to the post for today, and then two HUGE songs that you need in your life, including my vote for remix of the year so far.

First up is another Colossalcon set from a killer DJ, Kendo.  An hour long, and it is one of many hour mixes that have been getting me through the work day.  And its full of Monstercat Tracks!

So I know we all hate the song #Selfie by the Chainsmokers, but after laughing my ass off with a roommate last night over the "Fuck Her Right In the Pussy Guy" I found something hilarious.  I'm not going to say anything more than give it a listen, even if you despise the song.  (if you don't know the story he basically made it onto two news stations and said that phrase on live TV)

Fuck Her Right In The Pussy (#Selfie & Freaks Remix)

OK FINALLY ONTO THE POST FOR TODAY!
First up is a sick song from Paris Blohm one of the best artists that I have discovered this year.  Ever since seeing him with Tritonal, I have been following him closely and he has not been disappointing at all.  This new track featuring Taylr Renee is incredible.  The vocals are flawlessly inserted into a great rhythm, fantastic builds, and drops that had me dancing in my car.  Its not one to be missed!

Second up is up for remix of the year in my book.  Tut Tut Child got ahold of Porter Robinson's Sad Machine.  Its flawless.  A perfect remix keeping the chill aspects that Porter wanted while taking it up a notch.  Seriously.  Its the remix not to miss.

Porter Robinson - Sad Machine (Tut Tut Child Remix)

0227 - Mechanical Beauty

I was ecstatic yesterday to log onto my computer and find that there was a new Porter Robinson single that had been released.  It is perfectly what I didn't expect.  A beautiful melodic piece with strange but very fitting vocals, very chill, with just the perfect amount of bass.  In my opinion, its a near perfect song (and let me tell you there are very few that fit that criteria for me out there).  Can't wait to hear what else he has in store for us!

Porter Robinson - Sad Machine

0193 - Bonafide Surprises

There are three things that people who continually read this blog.

1.  I am a huge fan of funk.  Funk is just such a versatile genre as compared to electro house or other house music that seems to be very similar over all the tracks and artists that it covers.  One of my favorite funk duos is Chromeo, because they just make feel good and incredible emotional music that makes you want to move.  Their new track Jealous is hot as ever, with great funk, a really great upbeat feel, and a killer video to boot.  Check it out below and let me know if you think it stacks up to their past work!

Chromeo - Jealous

2.  Trap is not my favorite genre.  It does have its high points, but overall the genre just really doesn't appeal to me.  I cant really pinpoint it but I know I am more attracted to melodic stuff like prog. house, funk, and chill.  Like I always say thought, music can be surprising.  I did find a trap song the other day that I found myself enjoying, then did a double take and realized "THIS IS TRAP WAHT".  It surprised me and if you don't like trap then it may surprise you as well.

R3HAB & Deorro - Flashlight (Atik Trap Remix) (Free Download)

3.  Chill and Relaxing music hits me in a place that just carries me away from the stress and chaos.  Something about chill music helps me to escape, and I can't really explain it any more.  I hope you have all heard the new Porter Robinson track Sea of Voices, If you haven't then STOP.  LISTEN HERE (Sea of Voices - Original).  This remix from LEVI is great and helps to bridge the gap between the chill and electro house.  Is this better then the original?  You tell me!

011- Bang Bang 3LAU

Welcome back everyone! I hope that you had an excellent weekend! Monday is humpday and is especially tough, even over the summer, so today I bring you something with a little extra umph. 3LAU (pronounced Blau) is one of the top tier mashup artists, making unique things that would blow you out of the water. This is one of his longer sets, totaling about 30 min and is full of non-stop beats, awesome drops, and never before contemplated mashups. Enjoy!
