Sentinels
This just came my way. Choppy female vocals, stuttering piano break downs, chiming synths, ...niiiiice! Sentinels are a production duo hailing from good old London town, inspired, they say, by "listening to a decade of pirate radio of London and the underground rave and dance scene that came before them". I whole-heartedly believe that I'm part of that rave scene (even though I'm on my way to becoming a "professional" at work) so thank you Sentinels for creating beautiful music for me and my "scene"

Bart B More
Anyone who releases a track called Brap is worthy of mention in my books. This club banger is immense in its own right and to have access to an acapella version? You will never NEED this, but do you WANT it? Oh hell yes, if not purely for the shits and giggles of the cat dying sound at around 1 minute mark.
Bart B More - Brap
Bart B More - Brapapella Had to include this!

Bonus:
Ellie Goulding - Salt Skin (Alex Metric Remix)
Deadmau5
Not much to say about this guy since he has got a bit ridonkuously big these days. Thus we should technically dislike the "mainstream" because well thats what cool people's society frustratingly dictates. But then how can you hate something that is so beautiful? The words Raise Your Weapon echo so perfectly...
Deadmau5 - Raise Your Weapon

Bonus, the summer wouldn't have been this summer without this bad boy:

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!
Dada Life - Cookie With A Smile

Bonus, standard brilliance on both:

Sunday Girl - Four Floors (Diplo Remix)

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!
Jason Deulo - Watcha Say (Afrojack Remix)

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.

Nero - Innocence
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.

Subskrpt
No idea where Subskrpt has come from, his myspace is vague and all mysterious but damn it this is good! Quality remix and if this first track is anything to go by we can expect big things! Sorry for the minimal post info today, busy sorting myself out for my road trip/ snowbombing holiday!

DJ Slink
I'm loving this one as well, was going to put it as mere bonus track but that would be totally undermining how many times I have listened to this this weekend. Ask anyone who has entered my house/car/headphones recently. Don't let the hangover part of the title suggest that is track is anything but dub loveliness. Cudi's soft rhymes are perfectly juxtaposed betwixt dubstep, st-st-st stuttering drum beats and melodies. Nice!

Erol Alkan And Boys Noize
Hands down best track that's been out for a while. Heard them play this live before anything else so crank this up and I dare you not to love this. This song is my heaven.

TLGB
I can't actually get enough of this guy. This was my Bestival 09 song even though he wasnt there and no DJ played it (a mate played it non-stop). Nevertheless I FINALLY have my own copy of this bad boy, damn catchy! Enjoy!

Jeuce
Jeuce are a live electro/dubstep act based in Leeds, built up of four members and are part of the ever so brilliantly named Gash digital. Their new single 'Flavour' will be released in April, with remixes from Kidda, Bare Noize, Kanji Kinetic, Audiofun and more... Even though every fucker at the minute is remixing Ellie Golding and Crookers' Remedy, don't let that stop you downloading these. They are made up of bouncy synths and stuttering electro culminating in pure bassy dance perfection. The Ellie Golding remix is by far one of the best I've heard.

J. Rabbit
J. Rabbit, hailing from the Bronx, has me playing a couple of his tracks on repeat at the minute. Eiffel 65? Blue? Really? Honestly this is a VERY good remix. It has perfectly timed dubstep wobbles, kick drums so damn crisp your head immediately starts bobbing like the churchill dog and meanwhile the song is letting you know about the blue house with the blue window... PERFECTION. We also have B. Rich's dubheavy We Ball Harder which J Rabbit has actually made better than the original adding a more DnB feel. It's now just a waiting game for him to become big enough to come over to London and perform live for our ears.
B. Rich - We Ball Harder (J. Rabbit Remix)
Eiffel 65 - Blue (J.Rabbit Remix)
