Azealia Banks feat. Lazy Jay – 212 (Tommie Sunshine & The Disco Fries Edit) [Free Download]

Amanda Claudio — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:34:53 +0000

David Guetta played this very not safe for work remix of “212″ by Azealia Banks at his Roseland Ballroom show last night. Dance music’s resident hippie, Tommie Sunshine, and the Disco Fries collaborated to take the original version of “212″ and turn it into a dance floor ready banger. By electrifying the original bass line and sprinkling in some dutch percussion, they successfully took Banks’ rap swag and meshed it with house rhythms.

Sunshine is giving away the edit for free so there’s no excuse not to add this one to your library.

Qulinez – Troll (Original Mix)

Andrew Spada — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:56:22 +0000

Newcomers, Qulinez (Alexander Lager and Johannes Gustafsson) represent the new breed of talent that is being fostered by the Size Matters imprint. Their debut release “Troll” is borderline bi-polar. Like a crazy ex-girlfriend, it may seem sweet at first, but sooner or later the shit hits the fan. It’s high-pitched, melodic synths lead into a snare-laced build and an incredibly rewarding drop that, as one of our readers so eloquently put it, made him “almost shit his pants.” Expect to hear this track at every party you attend in Miami, it’s an absolute monster (pun intended.)

Kenneth G – Bazinga (Teaser)

Amanda Claudio — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:44:19 +0000

Last we heard from Hysteria Records they were teasing the Bingo Player’s new release, “L’Amour,” and now they’re at it again with “Bazinga.” The record label only recently acquired Kenneth G but this Amsterdam native is already bringing the heat. “Bazinga,” with its acid synths and massive dutch-inspired drop, is a gem amidst rhinestones. We implore you to play this track at full volume! If you can’t wait until March 5th check out “Tjoppings” or “Konichiwa Bitches,” his collaboration with Nicky Romero.

Walden – Mario Theme Remix

Jesse Grushack — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:28:14 +0000

After being featured on BBC Radio 1 just weeks ago, Australian producer John Walden has been back in the studio hammering out beats. Taking a trip through memory lane, Walden chose the timeless Mario theme song to put his electro spin on. The princess would be happy with the heavy bassline and synths that ride the line between electro and dubstep. Using a sample of “It’sa me Mario” before the bass drops evokes the days of collecting 120 stars on Nintendo 64. The song is available as a free download from Walden’s soundcloud below.

Laidback Luke – Speak Up (Original Mix) (Preview)

Amanda Claudio — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:27:41 +0000

Laidback Luke is prepping to release his single, “Speak Up,” which features the typically-coquettish vocals of Wynter Gordon. The tune has been floating around the blogosphere for some time now but it will finally be released on Beatport March 12th. Alongside the original, remixes from Chris Lake, Mark Knight, Oliver Twizt, Moska, and Das Kapital will be released. Never one to shy away from harder sounds, LBL incorporates thumping bass lines, aggressive build ups, and heavy drops that make the brain rattle. We can’t wait to hear what the other producers have done with this track.

Mat Zo’s Bipolar Mix by Anjunabeats on Mixcloud

Let’s just get this out of the way now — Mat Zo is disgustingly good — almost to the point that it is unfair. This mix is a little more than an hour long of pure glory from start to finish. You’ll find a few of Mat Zo’s releases peppered with a little Pryda and topped off with the perfect amount of Arty. Mat Zo’s “Bipolar EP” is set to release on the 13th of February and it seems as though Anjunabeats is preparing us for absolute brilliance. Dancing Astronaut will be present at Mat Zo’s performance at Ruby Skye tonight, if you live in the SF Bay Area don’t miss it.

Tristan Garner – Punx (Preview)

Senthil Chidambaram — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:44:56 +0000

Tristan Garner gives us a little taste of what he has been working on since his release of “Raven.” “Punx” is a tribute to Daft Punk, who Tristan idolized due to their prominence in the EDM scene. Throughout the entirety of the tune you can hear the robotic sounds that made tunes such as “Aerodynamic” and “Technologic” such huge successes. Both Tristan Garner and Gregori Klosman have been developing their individual careers and have risen through the ranks of EDM because of it. With their elevated status and talents, what would happen if they collaborated on something brand new? We think the answer would be — pure bliss.

Release Date: February 28th on Xtra Life Records

Andrew Spada — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:31:17 +0000

Featured on the Toolroom Knights compilation released on Toolroom Records, “Heroes” is the type of smooth, progressive house we’ve come to expect from John Dahlback. Perfect for smaller clubs with more intimate settings, this track ebbs and flows with an undeniable groove. It is expertly paced and engaging throughout with a simple, yet lively drop. Pick it up on Beatport today.

Tiesto launches iPhone app with exclusive hour-long Home Depot Center video

Jacob Schulman — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:15:22 +0000

Tiesto has been on a roll lately, launching a clothing line and a radio station, announcing a residency in Las Vegas, and producing a multi-part online video series seems like a lot for a producer. Well, now we can add “release an iPhone app” to that list, as a new offering has just gone live in Apple’s App Store. The app will stream episodes of Tiesto’s Club Life podcast and unlock special functionality on his “In The Booth” website. The app also includes an hour of streaming video from Tiesto’s massive 2011 LA show at the Home Depot Center, which is pretty cool if the download isn’t quite doing it for you. Unfortunately it’s not a free app, but the $.99 asking price is way less than a concert ticket — and not worth complaining about. If you download it, let us know your thoughts in the comments.
