West District - Sleepless

It's awesome when you can tell a track is going to be amazing within the first few seconds. Sleepless by West District is one of those songs. The arpeggiated chords at the beginning a la Moonlight Sonata and Operatic Vocal samples like something out of Lord of the Rings just instantly had me hooked. It goes on to build nicely into epic side chained synths and beautiful leads. It's really just a fantastic track all the way around! Please give it some love and grab the free download! It definitely deserves more plays and exposure!

Clean Bandit - Rather Be (Elephante Remix)

This is the second remix from Elephante that I've posted and I just really like everything this guy puts out. His remix of Clean Bandit's Rather Be is full of energy, life, and really puts me in a great mood. It was the perfect song to keep me from getting depressed while coming back to work on the Monday after returning from the beach! The bouncy synths and driving kick drum really make you wanna bob your head and get up and dance.  It's a great song to add to your playlist and he's giving it out as a free download! Make sure to grab it and to follow Elephante. I can't wait to hear more from him!

Wilsen - Magnolia (REVOKE Remix)

I have to admit that I used to absolutely hate remixes. That's only because whenever I would hear them on the radio, they were so generic that it just killed the original song. A lot of DJ's will just slap a kick drum on every beat and some synths and call it a day. That was really what irritated me. But in my travels I've grown to love remixes because I've found some really good ones. They must include a melodic sensibility that works well with the original song. If done well, remixes can bring many things while paying respects to the original artist. Today I'm proud to present one such remix. Revoke's remix of Magnolia by Wilsen takes a gorgeous melody and vocal from the original track and gives it a new feel that is rife with tension. It creates a mood that is strangely chilling, yet beautiful. It gives me the feeling of the calm before the storm. The soft spoken breathy vocals contrast the suspense that comes through the haunting cello and minor chord progression. It really is a perfectly executed vision and musical idea, absolutely a must listen. I came across this remix when Candyland shared it on their facebook page. I'm glad to see that it's starting to get some attention that it so richly deserves! Make sure to grab the free download!

Sander Van Doorn, Martin Garrix, DVBBS - Gold Skies (Elephante Remix)

Elephante has really done some amazing remixes and is getting better all the time. His remix of Gold Skies takes the original and turns it up to 11! The injection of punchier drums, chopped vocals, and huge synths in the drop really take the track to another level. It just makes me want to get up an dance! Make sure to grab the free download and follow Elephante!

Viper - Outlaw

Our first submission from a reader and it's a good one! Outlaw from viper is solid throughout with minor arpeggios and a gritty bassline that give it a dark feel worthy of the title. A very well thought out and executed drop brings many elements together and importantly for me, keeps the chord progression moving throughout. This is a great track from one of the lesser known artist's in the EDM scene. It's a free download so make sure you add it to your collection, and follow Viper for more great music!

Skrux - If You (Original Mix)

Electronic Music doesn't often get the credit it deserves for being a true art form. So often it's stereotyped as only being "rave music" or "computer music" or "techno". If You by Skrux is one of many examples of how electronic music can be so much more. Using just a few samples of chopped vocals, Skrux creates a dynamic and emotional piece that will hit you right in the feels. It is amazing how much the vocals communicate without ever really forming a full sentence. Perfectly mixed and produced, this is the latest in a long line of must have tracks from Skrux. Keep your eye out for more from this 19 year old producer. The sky is the limit for him.

Woolymammoth - Lord

I love artists who take risks. Woolymammoth has such a unique style and is a master of incorporating spoken word into his tracks, and he is definitely not afraid to take risks. Lord is a perfect example of this. He masterfully uses Samuel L. Jackson's recitation of Ezekiel 25:17 from pulp fiction to create a chilling and compelling effect. I just love how dark and grimey the bassline is. Amazing track. He's also graciously made it available for free download!
