Dada Life not only comes out with monster tracks, but they are creating plug-ins too? This multi-talented duo creates a video promoting their latest tech creation called “The Sausage Fattener”. There are two dials called ‘fatness’ and ‘color’. Turn the knob and you can instantly increase the greasiness of your track. Laidback Luke, Diplo, Tiesto, and many others already have been using this to their advantage. Dare to try it?

LMFAO’s ‘Party Rock Anthem’ was a catchy electro pop (with heavy elements of house) track that turned on quite a few ‘mainstreamers’ into fans of EDM. Think of ‘mainstreamers’ as wizards would think of ‘muggles’ in the Harry Potter series. Listen to two of the remixes below and get excited for Alesso’s remix to come out shortly!
Benny Benassi’s signature sound is all over his remix, you can hear it in the drop. Who doesn’t like a little old school Benny combined with a new age song?

Kim Fai creates a mellow progressive tune that meshes powerful synths with some unique horns that are scattered throughout the remix. Definitely suitable for a club or iPod near you!

Afrojack is like a Las Vegas buffet. So many different options, the presentation is immaculate, and you want to eat everything. You could have entire parties with just Afrojack produced tracks/remixes and it would be a spectacular. Let us move onto the next producer of “Prutataaa”…R3hab’s new remixes of “Judas” and “Give Me Everything” are insane, however the complaint is “why does everything sound the same?”. We think “Prutataaa” just gave you a large dose of that ‘difference’ you were looking for.
Side Note: If Afrojack is a Las Vegas buffet, then R3hab has to be the equivalent to an “In N Out” restaurant right? Only a few options, but each choice is otherworldly. “Pump The Party” has to be the ‘animal burger’ right?
Side Note (2): Is there anything wrong with R3hab using similar sounds in some of his remixes as long as it still produces a great result? Cant we all just sit back and inherently know that this young DJ/Producer will one day become a juggernaut of our industry?
Back to Afrojack…if we were to rank DJ’s in a level pyramid scheme where you divide the pyramid into five different sections (tier 5 being the base and tier 1 being the tiny triangle at the top). Isn’t Afrojack a mortal lock for being one of the tier 1 DJ’s? Can you name 10 DJ’s that you would rather see consistently over Afrojack?
Side Note (3): I know what you are thinking. Dancing Astronaut loves Afrojack, therefore our vision is skewed/biased. Let us take a look at some facts. When you are buying tickets for Las Vegas Memorial Day Weekend , you will notice that Tiesto and Afrojack are both headlining two different pool parties during the same time. I’ll give you one guess as to which show sold out the fastest. If you guessed ‘Afrojack’ you would be correct (if your answer was Tiesto, then re-enrolling in the 3rd grade might do you some good). This is Tiesto folks, arguably one of the biggest names in music (let alone EDM) and Afrojack tickets are selling faster. Interesting stuff.
One of the highlight moments of his set at Ruby Skye was when he dropped “Prutataaa”, needless to say the crowd lost their collective shit. If for some reason you don’t like the track because you are listening to it on your laptop speakers, wait till you hear it live and then get back to us.

We’ve been following DJ Chris Moody for a while now, and the odds are good that you’ve been, too. Be it through his spot-on productions or his skillful spinning on the decks (opening for Roger Sanchez at Pacha NYC in April), he’s easily managed to make a name for himself in a business saturated with other talent. He just finished a North America tour with Sanchez, demonstrating his abilities as the house superstar’s protege. And as if that wasn’t enough, he’s signed to the venerable Stealth Records, with his debut EP slated to drop this summer.
The remixes in this pack showcase his diverse style, using elements of big-room house, pop, disco, and electro both in combination and in isolation, all with ease. The pack includes his brand-new remix of Natalia Kills’s “Mirrors.”

Chuckie remixes the Steve Mac produced “Notorious” by The Saturdays. We believe that mainstream pop lovers and EDM listeners will n-joy this one. The beginning is definitely tuned towards the ‘poppier’ side of things, however wait until about 2:28 when the uplifting synths kick in. Can you feel the heat? Look for this to take over a club near you much like Chuckie’s remix of “I Like It“.

Today, the highly anticpated full version of the Tommy Trash remix of “Jona Vark” was made available to us courtesy of Beat My Day, with the first thousand dowloads available on their Soundcloud link.
This song is an absolute banger. I’m not normally one to post tracks on DA, but when we received news of the full release of this track, I immediately felt compelled to share this track with the rest of my fellow astronauts. The name “Jona Vark” will undoubtedly stick in your head as you play this track on repeat.
Enjoy!

Those of us traveling to Ibiza this summer are in for a treat. Roger Sanchez just announced his annual summer residency at none other than Space Ibiza – the best club in the world (according to DJ Mag). To get his fans ready for the summer, he released this summer mix on Soundcloud.
Mark my words. In one year’s time, Alesso will become a household EDM name. Yes, we all loved “Nillionaire” and his remix of “Pressure“. Didn’t think at the ripe young of 18 we would see him remix one of the biggest songs of the year and actually make it better. The vocals in the original mix were definitely goosebump-worthy, Alesso brilliantly kept the same vocals (with very minor changes) and made the bassline and beat more ‘house-friendly’. I am a believer in all things Alesso…are you?
Note: This is not the official preview, it was taken from Pete Tong’s radio show when it was played yesterday.
Picture this: 270 kilometers of white sandy beach coves, lined by lush green forest, sandwiched between Italian and Croatian coastlines. It smells like salt water and fresh fruit, and even on a quite night, music permeates the Adraitic sea air.
“A three day exploration of global electronic music from the world capitals of dance. Three days of massive headliners on an island, that’s just far enough away enough from home, that you’ll never want to leave.”
While many have grown annoyed by “Just The Way You Are” for its incredible amount of radio airplay, stellar vocals just cannot be contested. The chorus of this multi-platinum Bruno Mars hit has a conveniently uplifting characteristic, making the song an easy and popular target for EDM DJ’s.
Remixing “Just The Way You Are” is far from easy, however, as most of Bruno’s songs are notoriously difficult to rearrange due to their already highly melodic and recognizable character. It’s like singing and improvising your own version of a Sinatra song at the karaoke bar – unless you knock it out of the park with a stroke of genius, people are going to boo you off stage.
In this set of remixes (be sure to check out the Skrillex remix we posted earlier), you’ll notice Bruno’s vocals remained mostly unchanged, but it’s interesting to see where each DJ chose to land their drops. Some went with the pre-chorus, others with the chorus itself, while the daring few opted for the challenging post-chorus bridge. Each has its own effect, ultimately forming a nice bouquet of change-ups that do their best to enhance this already massive hit.
