DJs touring with pop stars has become an increasingly common trend. Lady Gaga recently brought Zedd along for the ride, Benny Benassi was support for Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet tour, and Congorock is currently traveling the globe with Rihanna. He cites his remix of her hit single “Diamonds” as the driving force behind the decision. Congorock turns the saccharine-sweet pop track into an electro bomb ready for any dance floor.
The track is available for purchase as part of the bonus track version of Rihanna’s Unapologetic album.
Lady Gaga has publicly expressed her admiration for Interscope label-mate Zedd — or her “major musical boner,” as she described it herself. She’s even referred to “Spectrum” as “pure EDM fantasy,” and along with asking Anton to remix tracks like “Born This Way” and “Marry The Night,” Gaga brought him on tour with her this past April.
The next chapter of this unique partnership has hit the web in the form of a preview of Lady Gaga’s vocal contribution to “Stache,” one of the premier tracks on Zedd’s Clarity. The addition of Gaga’s vocal turns the dance production into a song of its own, but does not jeopardize its electro appeal. We’ve asked around and found out that she simply really liked the song, and wanted to put her own spin on it. As of now there’s no word on whether it’ll be released officially, but something tells us that with these two big names involved, this one will be out on iTunes sooner rather than later.
R3hab turns out remixes like rabbits fuck – fast and furiously until the next thing you know you’ve got an infestation on your hands. Unlike rabbits, R3hab’s remixes aren’t cute and cuddly, they are big, mean and loud.
We’ll get this out of the way right now – YES, it sounds like his other remixes, but his other remixes are dance floor destroyers so why mess with perfection? Say what you will about his sound but there is no other producer pumping out remixes of this quality and the quantity over the last few months. This remix of Lady Gaga’s “Marry the Night” is no different. So sit back, swallow your pride, and let the chainsaw madness continue. You know you love it.
UPDATE: Brand new remixes from Dave Aude, John Dahlback, R3HAB, and Thomas Gold. Check them out below.
Move aside Britney Spears, Lady GaGa is back and she wants blood.
“Judas” is the newest single out of the GaGa Monster factory that sports a clever resemblance to “Bad Romance,” making it much more remix-able than the Madonna-derived “Born This Way.” After many listens through the the newest remix pack, we have narrowed it down to a selection of tracks that may please the ear buds on your EDM palates:

I personally found this remix very difficult to listen to but I will post it here since I know some of you enjoy blippy house. That said, I found the sequential fades to be extremely distracting and almost painful to bear, masking the original qualities of the song. To better elaborate the sensation, it felt like someone was covering my ears and then uncovering them over and over – wholly unpleasant for me, but potentially enjoyable for some of you.

This remix is for all the tech house fans who seek a more industrial feel. While the track doesn’t stray too far from the original, I love that the verse is replaced with Rammstein-like drums and synths to create a lurking underground club vibe. What are you waiting for, Twilight fans? Start listening at 1:15 to jump right into the grunge.

THIS remix is the very reason this post even happened. What shocked me is that none of the other mentioned DJ’s capitalized on GaGa’s vocal crescendo in the chorus to create a strong and catchy build; Sex Ray Vision, on the other hand, took complete and utter advantage of the melodic vocals to create one of the best GaGa club remixes I have heard (and I’ve heard many).
The song opens with your standard watery trance synths that consistently do a great job of pulling in your average Joe listener. This is quite misleading, however, because within the first 15 seconds the song kicks into high gear, inundating your eardrums with a flood of synths that emote so damn well. This track is right down Laidback Luke’s alley, so don’t be surprised if he decides to include this in his forthcoming sets.

I’m a little bit hesitant to post the first remix. Apparently a 320 version of an Afrojack remix of Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” was leaked today. Now, Afrojack hasn’t ever referenced the tune or dropped it in one of his sets, so I’m somewhat skeptical that the tune is real. It also sounds like it could just be a bootleg of several of Afrojack tracks, especially “Bangduck,” with Alejandro attached. Regardless, it’s worth listening too because it’s a good track. Along with the possible Afrojack remix, two other remixes just dropped: a Dave Aude remix and a remix by Dancing Astronaut vet Kim Fai. Both remixes are very good.
