Ellie Goulding – Bittersweet [Produced by Skrillex]

November 10, 2012 By 284 Comments

In anticipation of the film Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 2, cult British crooner Ellie Goulding decided to release the track “Bittersweet” a little early. Interestingly enough, it was produced by the singer’s now-ex boyfriend, Skrillex. Though Techifans may be saddened by the recent split of electronic’s most famous couple, the tune itself is pretty solid. It is signature electronic pop Ellie with her excellent angel vocals, as always. Let us know what you think.

Flashback Friday: Deadmau5 – Not Exactly (Original Mix)

November 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

I’m willing to bet you’ve heard about Deadmau5 and the reputation he has made for himself in the electronic dance community. He’s been a well-known player in electronic music for years, gracing the cover of Rolling Stone and winning several awards for his tracks. Known for his opinionated rants and outspokenness on Twitter, he still is every bit the musician he started out to be. In just a few years, Deadmau5, aka Joel Zimmerman, has risen up in the electronic producer ranks at lightning speed. One of his first tracks, “Not Exactly,” is a perfect example of his early style — simple, stripped down progressive house that takes your breath away. The ‘Best Single’ Beatport award winner in 2008, “Not Exactly” is a crucial anthem of the past decade, and it’s important to respect the legacy that Deadmau5 has left behind. I personally will never give up hope that he’ll make an epic comeback.

Flashback Friday: Paul Van Dyk feat. Hemstock & Jennings – Nothing But You (Original Mix)

November 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Here’s a flashback from trance pioneer Paul Van Dyk, with his highly successful track “Nothing But You” off of the 2003 album Reflections. The album was a huge moment for electronic music, since it marked the first time that the new category “Best Dance/Electronic Album” was introduced at the Grammy Awards. It’s epic songs like these that separate the older underground phase of electronic music and show the emergence of dance into the mainstream. “Nothing But You” has that classic trance sound that makes you feel like you’re flying and was inspired by the DJ’s recent trip to India prior to making the album.

Afrojack & Shermanology – Can’t Stop Me (Kryder & Tom Staar Remix)

November 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

In case you didn’t catch this massive track on Morgan Page’s In The Air 123 Podcast earlier this week, you can thank me later for bringing it to your attention once again. This track has been stuck in my head for days and it is excellent in every way. Afrojack & Shermanology’s original melody shines through the chorus but is given an edgy makeover by Kryder & Tom Staar into a major electronic music festival staple. The buildups are exciting and the drop is unique and it’s just an all around massive party track. Enjoy.

Just in time for Halloween weekend, I bring to you one of my favorite Armin Van Buuren remixes, originally released in 2008.
