Dada Life



I will NEVER tire of this duo. This is a filthy electro song (filthy not so much due to the music...I love double entendres). I can often get put off but overly stupid lyrics just to make people laugh, it can often just be tacky. But here, the track is so perfect and warrants its own merit that no matter how obsessed the singer is with "cookies", you've gotta love the growling synths and big room drops. Sick Tune!

Afrojack



I will never get enough of Imogen Heap's mmm watcha say especially after this video (I know it's old but still funny as hell - oh and i defy you to try and find a proper version on youtube):



Nevertheless, with resonating Riverside beeps and squeaks, here, I think we have a winner!

Passion Pit - Sleepyhead (Borgore Remix)
Don't be put off by the full file size this is 256kbps just a taster of a hopeful full release!

Marina And The Diamonds - I Am Not A Robot (Doorly Remix)
Not what you expect of this guy! Absolutely class track. I love the way the song progresses from being relatively unedited and a few impeccably timed robotic beeps later you have the unfaltering lines "let the beat drop"...tee up next track and perfect fade into filthy dub and you're away...

A Treat 4



Is it still a treat if it's the fourth one? Course it bloody well is if you listen to the tracks on offer. Got back from Snowbombing in Austria last week and it was absolutely mental! I was in that mess of a crowd above, which extended down the whol street! Hot weather, snow, drink, ker-razy fancy dress, drink, quality DJs, meeting a few famous heads, drink, roadtripping, street parties, forest parties, traditional Austria sausages, drink and just a tad more drink...what's not to love? Was on such a festival high, I've booked myself into Bestival and am scouring the internet to find the ideal European one (any suggestions?). Had to overhaul the internet to get all the music I missed over the 2 weeks I was away and in no particular order have found these very differing diamonds in the rough.

Edit: Removed the links for the tracks I think were infringing copyrights (since there is no way to find out specifics, I am reduced to hit and miss). Hope this is satisfactory.

The Boog-A-Loo Crew



Two different sounds here, Crosses is understandably chilled, I don't think it could ever be right hyping the original up too much purely because it would take away all its beauty. The other... oh fuck it just enjoy! I'm feeling way too lazy right now...dubSTEP! Both quality tracks, obviously very sharp producers.
