[OFFICIAL VIDEOS] Swedish House Mafia "Antidote" & Dada Life "Kick Out The Epic Motherfucker"

These are two very different videos, but they are both quite awesome.  Swedish House Mafia and Knife Party's video for "Antidote" is about a heist and is shot in first person, from the viewpoint of one of the robbers.  It's a really well directed music video.  Dada Life's music video for "Kick Out The Epic Motherfucker" has new vocals on it and is a cool video, it has cameos from Porter Robinson, Skrillex, Dillon Francis, Laidback Luke, Chuckie, Tiesto and Kaskade.  Do yourself a favor and check these videos out.

Emancipator - Elephant Survival

I rarely listen to a track twice in a row, but if I do I know it's a real jam.  That was the case with this new track from Emancipator.  He's such a good producer, has great beats and really defines "instrumental" hip hop.  This track's a real gem, he uses flawless incorporation of guitar (and banjo), pan flute and violin in this track.  Emancipator has two albums out that have so many rotations that I've lost count.  I'm back in Charlotte now for the holidays, watched football all day long and couldn't be more happy.  Enjoy.

My fault for not posting in so long, I was in Paris for 3 days, then have been incredibly busy since with final papers I've been putting off.  Anyways, Paris was the shit.  We saw Madeon at Social Club on Thursday with Russ Chimes, it was incredible.  The highlight of the trip was on Saturday we saw Dada Life at Queen Club, which was absolutely nuts.

Big Bad Wolf (Lost Boys Remix) - Duck Sauce

Bristol must have something in it's water, because it seems to me like that town consistently pumps out the best bass music producers in the UK.  The Lost Boys are two producers out of Bristol who just got at me with their remix of Duck Sauce's 'The Big Bad Wolf.'  Give these guys credit, it's a seriously dope remix, better than most of the remixes I've heard of this track, which is a lot.  According to the Lost Boys themselves, this tune's got moombahton vibes at about 110 bpm, but do not fear, it still brings the heavy bass that we all love. Click here to check them out on Soundcloud.  Don't sleep on this track!

HUGE New Releases [Dada Life + Tim Berg + Sub Focus + Marcus Schossow + Bingo Players + Ton!c]

Alright, our good friends at The Hive have already put these first three up, so big ups to them and if you want to read up on the tracks, head over here.  I think Bingo Player's 'Mode' is a better track than the hit 'Rattle,' and 'Kick Out The Epic Motherfucker' is so hype it's ridiculous--I can't wait to see Dada Life this Saturday in Paris.

Download:  Mode (Original Mix) - Bingo Players
Download:  Las Vegas (Original Mix) - Marcus Schossow

Here's four other new releases I'm really feeling from Tim Berg (Avicii), Sub Focus, Ton!c, and Bingo Players.  Even more fantastic releases in this bunch, enjoy.

Artist Spotlight: Mat Zo

Saw Jack Beats and 12th Planet at Fabric on Friday and got to talk to 12th Planet for a few seconds after his set, so I'd say it was a successful night.  My bad though, I honestly meant to do this post like 2 or 3 days ago, but I've been really busy.  Anyway, Mat Zo has been spitting flames lately with his recent tracks off of Anjunabeats Volume 9.  I've got three new songs of his and I'm throwing in another three great new tracks off the release.  I'm also including Mat Zo and Above & Beyond's sets from Trance Around The World 400 in Beirut with free downloads.  Enjoy.

BoomBox 'Me & My Baby' Free Download & Live Video + Winter Tour Announced

 
BoomBox is a really excellent electronic jam band out of Muscle Shoals, Alabama.  If you have never heard of them, think somewhere in the neighborhood of Lotus or Papadosio.  These guys blew up fast with their really amazing live show, which I look forward to seeing February in Dallas.  For those who don't know, BoomBox member Zion Godchaux's parents were Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux, who both played with Grateful Dead.  BoomBox have just announced their "Souvenirs, Novelties and Party Tricks Tour,' with notable stops in Charlotte on 1/28 at Neighborhood Theatre and in Dallas on 2/16 at Trees (see whole schedule here.)  With this announcement they released a live video and free download of the unreleased track 'Me & My Baby' which grooves extremely nicely.  You can click here or below to get to BoomBox's bandcamp, where you can grab the track. Enjoy.

Caspa - Fulham 2 Waterloo + Emalkay & Roska Remixes

What's up what's up.. Here's a massive tune from Caspa and very impressive remixes of it from Emalkay and Roska.  The drums in this track are what get me... the guitar in the Emalkay remix is really nice too.  Until today this track was under the 'downloaded but never listened to' category.  I really like the video for Fulham 2 Waterloo, so check that out too.  Couldn't ignore this tune, I'm living in Waterloo after all. Enjoy.

Alex Sayz - Falling (Albin Myers Rave Remix)

This song is a jam, complete jam.  True to it's title, this new remix from Albin Myers could really get a crowd raving.  This track was released a few days ago, it's got a wicked bassline and the drop is absolutely crazy, you're gonna enjoy it.  I'm throwing a Bingo Players remix too, it's also sure to get the party started.

Kaskade ft. Mindy Gledhill - Eyes [REMIXES]

The remixes of Kaskade's hit track of 'Eyes' have just released today, and they are great.  The official release featured remixes from Swanky Tunes, R3hab and Alvin Risk.  I've also got a really sick unofficial remix from Mistermike.  I'll be back again later, I have some more content for today.  Later.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

Two very relevant pieces of new pertaining to Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.  The Oxford producer has released his new single 'Dream On' for free.  Also, last night at Nokia Light Up The Night with Deadmau5 (see video below) I was pleasantly surprised to to see T.E.E.D. come out to open for Deadmau5.  Between his stegosaurus costume and Mau5's head it's safe to say Light up the Night had a solid costume game going on.  T.E.E.D. brought out Louis from Lulu and The Lampshades for 'Garden', while Deadmau5 brought out SOFI for 'Raise Your Weapon.'  The visuals were truly amazing, I've never seen anything like it, definitely check out the video below.

Tiesto - Love Comes Again (Hardwell 2011 Rework)

I posted the preview for this track a few weeks ago, it was a rip from one of Hardwell's sets.  The official version, released today on Black Hole Recordings, is a really great edit of the old track from Tiesto.  Stays true to the original, but brings Hardwell's style in well too.
    On a different note, Deadmau5 is playing a free show in London tonight for Nokia.  Apparently he'll be on top of a building with some kind of crazy 4D light show.  I'll be there for sure, check out the video below, and go to Nokia's Facebook Page at 9:00 GMT to stream the show if you're not in London.  Enjoy.

Tiesto - Traffic (Tristan Garner Remix)

Here's Tristan Garner's sick new rework of Tiesto's classic track 'Traffic.'  Out today on Magik Muzik, this one's brought the old track back to life!  Be on the lookout for another just released remix of a classic Tiesto track later..

Gregori Klosman - Kameha [Release]

It's finally here guys.. After months of teasing, Gregori Klosman has dropped his massive track 'Kameha' on Spinnin' Records, and it's a real heater.  This is the first of three HUGE releases that I'm posting today, but I think I'm most excited about this one.  Really really epic track.  Enjoy.

I have some absolute fire tracks of the moombahton variety for you today.  Only five tracks, but they are all top quality.  Artists featured include Dillon Francis, Alvin Risk, LAZRtag, Overwerk, Kill The Noise, Tommy Trash and Sabo.  The Future Folk remix is a re-post, but too good to not include.  Enjoy.

George Michael - Careless Whisper (Ditta & Dumont Remix)

Of course I'm going to post this.  If you haven't seen the YouTube video below, watch it please because it is an absolute classic. Only suggestion I could make is that they get Sergio Flores to bring some Sax on this track immediately.  Speaking of which, check out Stephan Jacobs track with Sergio Flores 'Cyber Sax,' it's another track off his 'Mad Era' EP.

Steve Forte Rio ft. Lindsey West - Slumber (Tommy Trash Remix)

Tommy Trash has outdone himself with this remix of Slumber by Steve Forte Rio, who you just might know under his moniker: Tiësto.  The track features very nice vocals from Lindsey West and some of Tommy Trash's best production yet.  I'm throwing in some more of Tommy Trash's recent work, including his newest single 'Monkey See Monkey Do,' LAZRtag's great moombahton rework of 'Future Folk,' and Tommy's fire remixes of Moby, Kaskade and Hook N Sling.  Enjoy.

Introducing Eric Arbores

"When the entire world of music lies beneath your feet, what else would you do then to go out and explore it? Dutch talent Erik van den Boom is only 14 years old, but produces quality house music like he’s been at it for years. This young mastermind is currently studying Physics at the university of Delft, after graduating from the gymnasium at the age of 13. When near a studio however, it’s the beats that lure and the bass that gets him. Erik’s dreaming big and takes a leap on winning the Nobel prize as well as fixing himself a spot amongst the producer and DJ elite of today’s trance scene. Under his Erik Arbores moniker, he is taking the first steps in dance land. ZOUK Recordings is proud to be releasing three of his creations, with ‘Bliss’, ‘Take It’ and ‘Transit’ reflecting a bright future for this promising talent.

While ‘Take It’ mixes the fine elements of electro with the progressive-house kicks and blazing synths of an oldskool blast, ‘Transit’ sends you on a musical journey of trancy house. Both have a strong but proggy build-up, heading towards an outrage of something absolutely maddening. ‘Bliss’ is the more gentle, melodic track of the three-pack. A real peak-timer, taking you in with its fusion of trance and house. Bet you didn’t see that coming from a 14-year old, huh"
                                                                                                    - Source:  Armada Music

This kid's amazing, a prodigy in every meaning of the word.  All three tracks of the EP are fantastic, and a sign of impressive things to come.  Shouts out to Kris for showing me Erik.

Artist Spotlight: Leventina

Last night at Ministry of Sound, Deniz Koyu and Fedde le Grand took over Ministry of Sound, and yours truly was on the guest list courtesy of Deniz Koyu.  It was an amazing show, Fedde played a 3 hour set, they both killed it and everyone was having a great time. 
      Anyways, today's spotlight is on Leventina.  Leventina are two DJ's from Switzerland who came on my radar maybe a month ago.  They make some really excellent progressive gems that I've been listening to a lot lately.  Their newest preview "Revolution" is awesome and should be released soon.  'We're Gonna Start' is unbelievable as well, a definite party starter. Check them out.
