Modek - 'Up With Me' EP


Ranging from acid to disco, Modek's new EP 'Up With Me' has the whole package!  Absolutely cannot wait for this release.


"Modek has been busier than ever since the release of his ‘The Family’ EP on Lektroluv - that got played by everyone from Crookers over Tommie Sunshine to Proxy.
Apart from touring like a madman he did remixes for Tai & Netsky, and has soon to be released reworks for Zombie Nation, Porter Robinson and Etienne De Crecy in the pipeline!
This ‘Up With Me’ EP is now his 4th release on Lektroluv and we're very proud to have Modek back on board! The title track gets the remix treatment from Shinichi Osawa, Don Rimini, John Roman and AutoKratz – talking about a HUGE package!! But let’s not forget about that other Modek track ‘Never Forget’ too… Banging!!

TAI - Tailand (Peking Duk Chili Bamboo Remix)



Sickest song off TAI's new album out now on Dim Mak Records.

Icona Pop - I Love It (Style Of Eye Remix)


Artist SPOTLIGHT: Shlohmo

The emotion delivered by producer Shlohmo's "Places" is enough to bring one to tears within the first minute.  Based in Los Angeles, California, Shlohmo has been providing the music community with an endless stream of incredibly unique electronic music.  Simplicity is bliss in the case of Shlohmo.  His ethereal background sounds offer a cushion for minimal drums and bass to sweep you off your couch and into the clouds.  Often blending soothing acoustic guitar with ambient electronic elements, Shlohmo has distinguished himself as one of the greatest emerging producers.


His remix of Lianne La Havas' "Forget" has unbelievably good vibes as well.


It would be a crime not to check out Shlohmo's Soundcloud and Facebook

Throwback: Netsky - Memory Lane (Original Mix)

Aligning Minds - 'My Heart is Love' EP

Both emotionally stirring and provocative, "My Heart Is Love" is the second LP from East-Coast collaborative brainchild Aligning Minds. The nine track album, due for release January 29th via Gravitas Recordings, is a finely tuned venture evoking imagery of an ethereal future-city.  While no two tracks sound the same, Aligning Minds does a beautiful job stitching together this sundry collection of songs seamlessly and in an engaging way. Perfectly blended sections of classic electro and intricate breaks merge with vaporous psychedelic synth-scapes, causing genre lines to blur as the countless influences wash through.



This duo is paving the way for the next generation of electronic music, and setting a high standard for the other aspiring producers out there.  Support Aligning Minds by purchasing their new album on the Gravidas Recordings Bandcamp [Download Link].  It's name your own price.  This EP is 100% worth it to purchase.

Kilo Kush - K+ Mixtape


K+, Kilo Kush's new mixtape, is absolutely mindblowing.  Featuring Star Slinger, SBTRKT, and Childish Gambino (among others), K+ is an instrumental masterpiece offering a refreshing new take on hip-hop.

Oh, did I mention that she released it for free?

Goldmine, produced by Star Slinger out of the U.K., was my personal favorite on the album, however every track had a unique sound and an unbelievable vibe.~~


Be sure to check out her blog and website.

Brionbot - Epiphany (Original Mix)

New heavy hitting track from brionbot, an American producer hailing from "somewhere," according to his humble Soundcloud bio.  Hope to hear more heavy hitting tunes from this up and coming producer.



Be sure to check out his Bandcamp profile as well. The one track currently posted, "Beautiful Things," an ambient remix of Gungor's track, shows brionbot's incredible artistic versatility as its ambient melodies take you on a journey into the unknown.

Daniel Portman - Something in the Air (Original Mix)

Havoc, Chris Bullen - That's Wassup (Exodus, LJ MTX & Jason Risk Remix)

Phethouse Records, supported by the likes of Tiesto, Fatboy Slim, and The Crystal Method, is set to release three new bangers as the official remixes of the Beatport Top 20 hit, That's Wassup! This wonderfully crafted remix by Exodus, LJ MTX, and Jason Risk is by far the best of the three interpretations and perhaps even better than the original. Unfortunately, this track won't be available for download until June 2, 2013, but any electro house fan should be excited for this one.

SPOTLIGHT: Symbols Recordings



Symbols Recordings, a label recently established by Kastle, an influential San Francisco based garage and dub producer, has done nothing short of blow my mind.  Artists including Jason Burns, Figgy, Lion Gonzales, We Sink, and Cosmic Revenge all embody the mission of the collective: to "focus on forward-thinking electronic music."  Ranging from 2-step to dub, this label is paving the way for the future of garage.  Keep your eyes out for Kastle and the evolution of his label, it should be prolific.

They are kind enough to release a generous amount of free music via their Soundcloud.
