Best Electro Music (10 Favs) | Week 11 2013

3/12/13

Welcome back to another instalment of booty shaking EDM here on BitCandy. As always, we’re bringing of grabbag of the internets most refreshing dance tunes.  Yup, that's our gig.  Filtering only the best of the week.  And to those of you at SXSW (that’s South by Southwest for those of you who are behind on initialisms), bite me...I'm jealous.  Cuz what started out as an indie festival has also become a wet dream for some of the new best electro.  Let's get started with the tunes:

 

MONSTA - Tudo Se Foi/Gone

Moombahton done the only way OWSLA can: with attitude.

 

Daughter - Medicine (Sound Remedy Remix)

Did I really see this on Hype Machine #1 list this week.  Good for Daughter + Sound Remedy.  Well deserved.  Well deserved.

 

Arty feat. Chris James - Together We Are (Audien Remix)

 

Justin Timberlake - Suit and Tie (Four Tet remix)

A departure from our EDM bangers, Four Tet helps make this track finally listenable.  Kanye, we're with you on this one.  

 

Blake Lewis - Your Touch

I don’t know how cool I can feel both listening to American Idol Blake Lewis AND a commercial for Internet Explorer...but I’m warming up to this one...but still feeling gross about it.  

 

You Should Be Dancing Mirame Edit

Here’s a modern day edit for some of the original dance masters of the past 50 years. God bless the Bee Gees.

 

Naughty By Nature - Hip Hop Hooray (Codes Jump Up Remix)

This dirty remix has a lot going for it. The vocals from “Hip Hop Hooray” gel perfectly grooving on a shuffled beat with a sick distorted lead. This is what remixes are all about people! Taking something from one genre and actually changing what it sounds like.

 

SHADOW DANCER // Second City // (BOYSNOIZE RECORDS, 2012) *Full Stream*

Boysnoize Records once again bringing us the high quality techno. This Shadow Dancer track is actually from last year *GASP* but it’s a great tune that was previously unavailable for full stream on soundcloud. Hats off to you, BNR.

 

Felix Da Housecat - Sinner Winner

Thanks to late night KCRW djs for getting the latest Felix Da Housecat in my ear. The music gets going at 2 minutes in, with the drop really coming in at about 3:40. I know half of you are thinking “Ain’t nobody got time for that.” To which I respond, if you can’t wait a few minutes for a good music, go back to your shitty, formulaic, Swedish flavored pop music. Or just skip ahead... this isn’t vinyl after all.  Get ready for the release of Da Housecat’s newest EP on the 18th!

 

Russ Chimes - Turn Me Out 

Riffing off a little of the Felix Da Housecat track...it's been a while since I REALLY liked a new house track.  It's time to reset my internal house clocks thanks to Russ Chimes.  

 

Little Daylight - Overdose (The Chainsmokers Remix) (PREVIEW)

Good progressive exists!!! Here is some, courtesy of the Chainsmokers.

 

DJ Al Corino presents The Original Dubsteppa part one (Reggae X Dubstep) [Promoted]

 

DJ Al Corino brings a 42 song mixtape with his Reggae x Dubstep mixtape.  Check it out above...from Fugees to Knife Party...it's all here.
