With the over-saturation in electronic music today that’s being talked about by nearly all the major DJs in the industry, it must be so difficult to find music that doesn’t sound like everyone else. Well let me, present to you Go Freek’s remix of “Friends”. I have to admit, these guys completely caught me by surprise with this drop. Sorry Steve Angello, but I guess you were wrong about music lacking creativity nowadays. Don’t just take my word for it though. Let this song speak for itself.

I feel like I’ve been flashed back to a future 1990s. Myndset’s remix of Parachute’s “Hearts Go Crazy” is a blast from the past with its melodies and synthesizers that make me feel like I’m floating in a hot air balloon. With vocals well complimented by a house kit and some edgy pads, Myndset kills this remix. I would expect nothing less from a techibeats artist. Enjoy the free download as courtesy of the man behind the mask.

Monkey Safari – Got The Jack [Preview]

avatars-000005034349-4psaop-crop

The driving bass line on this track has got me grooving way too hard this morning. These shuffled beats and 90s styled drum fills, paired with an irresistible funk has got me in such a trance I nearly forgot my own name. Monkey Safari has created a house banger with just the right amount of flair and groove to make the rest of my day complete. Not even really knowing the lyrics won’t stop me from humming this tune well into the night time. Too bad this is only a preview. We will keep you guys posted on a release date though!

jayko-weeklydose2

Techibeats head writer Alex Nikas and artist DSCO bring us our Weekly Dose of musical medicine. This week’s dose includes a smorgasbord of tracks with a touch of everything. I got to say that I am extremely stoked to peak into the minds of these two. I love both of their music tastes and I am sure you all will too. Most doctors won’t prescribe you with such a high potency dosage, but I am not like most doctors and I almost 100% positive that you won’t overdose on medicine like this, but don’t quote me on that.

Deadmau5 & Kat Von D – Satellite (DEMO) [Preview]

Screen Shot 2013-05-06 at 2.56.39 AM

The legendary couple is just full of surprises, aren’t they? Joel Zimmerman and Kat Von D have teamed up to produce “Satellite”, Deadmau5′s newest chilled out track with the unexpectedly talented vocalism of LA Ink’s finest. It starts out with a very ambient and melodic intro, demonstrating Joel’s prowess of theory and synth work. As it progresses, Kat’s singing compliments the instrumentals, as well as its rising tension, as it sweeps into a minimalistic half-step switch up. Although, the track was released in its rough draft form, we should expect some big things from this mix. Possible remixes and the inevitable bootlegs seem to be running through my mind of what’s to come. Respect to Kat Von D for her vocal skills and Joel for his ever adapting sound; these two have definitely earned some brownie points in my book.

Kaskade Mistakenly Put On EDC Lineup

kaskade1

It seems as though Kaskade is not set to headline EDC. Due to a possible graphic designing error, Kaskade revealed on Twitter the unfortunate news. In a stream of tweets Kaskade had written, “I just saw the EDC Las Vegas announcement and there has been a mistake as I am not playing the festival this year. Not sure how that happened – a lot of artists in the mix with a huge festival like that and looks like something got mixed up. Maybe the graphics guy used lasts years flyer as a template and my name was on there… honestly not sure how that happened.” While disappointing that one of our favorite DJs won’t be making an appearance at the large scale music festival, he is, however, playing at the Marquee on Saturday night of the weekend.
