Word up! Best of Electro - Week 3 comin' at ya! Scroll down, and quickly! Eight sizzling bangers and madcap mash ups, all hand-selected from the sprawling EDM werld, are ready and waiting. Enjoy! Luv ur fav LA Music Blog, BitCandy.
"Growin' Up in the Gutter" Yelawolf (Kill the Noise Remix)
Kill the Noise recently dropped a sick remix of Yelawolf's fearsome fairy tail, "Growin' Up in the Gutter" (taken from Yelawolf's 2011 debut full-length, "Radioactive"). This banger lets loose what has to be one of the fiercest bass breakdowns we have heard in some time. Check it below! Zing!
"Kyoto" Skrillex (Ghost Boy Remix)
We are shotgunnin' Ghost Boy as 'one to watch' going on this fierce first release! The newcomer has sadistically spun Skillex's "Kyoto" (taken from Skrillex's 2011 EP, "Bangarang") into a whole new realm of heavy. Dig below.
"Persian Algebra" Sticky K
Diplo's label, Mad Decent, delivers us Sticky K's moombahton banger, "Persian Algebra." Dizzying fairground synths, vocal twitches and ruthless reggaeton beats, BitCandy recently slipped this one into our "Best New Tracks" folder.
"We Found House (Modertalking)" 3LAU (LMFAO x Rihanna)
LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" meets Rihanna's "We Found Love" in this uber-fun 3LAU mash up to just hit the blogosphere. This is taken from 3LAU's "We Found House" EP, which chops up RiRi's "We Found Love" in three different ways. The "Modertalking" version is our fav -- after all, how can you possibly beat these alt-lyrics: "C'mon now, I bet your busy talking to some slut… Would you fuck me?… Are you gay?"
"Fire Hive" Knife Party
Knife Party (Pendulum's Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen's dubstep brainchild) continues to hone its self-stamped "seizure music" with the spasmic synth-annihilation that is "Fire Hive" (taken from the 2011 EP, "100% No Modern Talking"). Download below!
"Toulouse" Nicky Romero (Ryan Enzed Remix)
Producer extraordinaire/YouTube tutorial provider/All round nice guy, Ryan Ezned, has spun a phat (yes fat with a 'ph') remix of Nicky Romero's popular blogosphere banger, "Toulouse." D-load Ezned's trancey take, below.
"Filth In Paris" 5 & A Dime and Basic Physics (Jay-Z & Kanye West x Skrillex x Robyn x Avicii x Nero x Feed Me)
Woah woah woah! 5 & A Dime and Basic Physics have squeezed Jay Z & Kanye West's "N*ggas in Paris," Skrillex's "First of the Year (Equinox)," Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend (Feed Me Remix)", Avicii's "Levels (Skrillex Remix)," Nero's "Crush On You" and Feed Me's "Cloudburn" into what could be the shit-hottest 3.50 minutes of your life. Listen and explode below.
"Voodoo" Bassnectar (ill.Gates Remix)
ill.Gates (a name very-nearly up there with 'Anal Del Rey') closes down this week's Best of Electro with a demonic re-imagination of Bassnectar's "Voodoo." Warning: this track's super-thick bass line may make you wanna dance like a ravin' Ron Weasley, aka, kinda like this:
