We love producers who release tracks for free along with tracks on beatport; it makes it a lot easier for us to promote them. Figure and Bassex each released a remix this week and both have hip hop vocal elements but are still bassy and gritty. Both of the producers have recent beatport releases and release free tracks alongside to motivate people to support them by buying their tracks. Check out Figure‘s and Bassex‘s Beatports.

Can’t stop partying even when it is raining right? I don’t know who this James Egbert is but this remix of Party On reminds me of Dallask and Mord Fustang (perhaps, I don’t know). Even though lately the word ‘banger’ has been getting thrown around more than a frisbee at a hippie gathering, this song definition meets the decription. Save for the somewhat cheesy/cliche/mindless vocals during the break this song hits hard and is upbeat; perfect for parting on. Get the release here on Beatport.

This was supposed to come out yesterday, but Beatport was lagging a bit. The remix EP for Afrojack’s and R3hab’s Prutataaa is now out featuring remixes buy all too familiar names like Dada Life and Darth & Vader. Im focusing on the Vader remix because I think it is much better than the other two and have been waiting for it since they released the preview several months back. Not much is know about Darth & Vader except that they are a duo from Brazil and are under the same management as Dirtyloud, ohh and that they have a kid named Luke. The song is heavy as fffuuuuuu and has some interesting timing at certain parts of the drop. I’m posting this in 192 because I really want some people to support them and get it here on Beatport. I was kidding about the Luke part.

Alex Kidd has released another original on his label Crude Trax. It is Alex’s signature style of having a classic dirty electro house bass synth and lots of wobbles and Mod-Enveloped plucks. While his style is not changing, he is dialing it in and getting a better result with every new track. For all you electro house aficionados can you tell what other well know electro house song shares one of the same pluck samples? If you know, it should stick out like a sore thumb. Answer at the bottom of the post.

Ryan Enzed, the New Zealand native Youtube tutorial creator turned electro house producer has done a complextro bootleg of Nicky Romero‘s track Toulouse. Both artists made a lot of progress in 2011 and will see a lot of attention in 2012. If you are an aspiring producer I suggest you check out Enzed’s tutorials on youtube and his releases on beatport.

All I can say about this remix by Josh Billings is “Dance Floor Killer” I have personally already played the song out a few times and have got a great response each time. Combining Ellie Gouldings soothing voice with a big room melodic lead thats not too over powering, Billings found the perfect recipe to remix this track. If you don’t already know, Josh Billings is probably one of the biggest house promoters in Orange County right now and runs an awesome weekly called Focus. For information about Focus make sure to join their email list which also gets you discounts on some of their events.

It has been exactly one year since this website became a blog and this post is dedicated to the best EDM of 2011. Some of the stuff here you have probably heard and some of it we probably posted this year. Hopefully you discover something new here. This list is made by two people so it is biased; it is our take on the best music of the year. We obviously did not hear every single song of 2011 and some people will have differing opinions than us, but there is no doubt quality in the following tracks. Each song is downloadable but also has its respected Beatport link (if it was on Beatport) we as always we encourage you to support the artists if you can.

Sorry for the recent lack of posts, Winter Break has been busy. There is a large best of 2011 post in the works which will have a lot of songs. For now this electro house banger has been constantly on loop at my pad. It came out a couple weeks back but it definteily mention worthy. FTampa is Brazilian electro house producer whose last remix was of Avicii’s ‘levels’. Check out his facebook and soundcloud.

Knife Party‘s debut EP just came out and they already have another song out, this time a collab with Swedish House Mafia. Along side the release they put out a killer music video for the track. You should know the video is explicit (Boobies and violence) and might require you to log in to see it. The song in the video is the dubbed version while the one we have posted here is the instrumental (because we are purists).
