First of all, does anyone else remember those little robot toys that use to roll around and had smoke come out of their mouths? No? I was the only kid with that weird toy? Anyway, I’ve been meaning to post up this track by Opiuo, who’s Good Thymes Ray Charles remix I’ve featured here before. This is another fun track from a guy who definitely knows how to put sounds together that get you moving, and will stay stuck in your head. Hope to hear of some full album releases coming from him soon.
I felt like there hasn’t been a true “Glitch” post on this blog for some time, so I was glad when I finally came across Slidecamp. (I know, what took me so long!) A lot of the other glitch music I feature comes from, who else, The Glitch Mob, and most of their non-album tracks are fast paced, such as Beyond Monday. Mellow is the name of the game with this album, although it mixes the sound up with some faster paced elements. I think you’ll appreciate zoning out to this track, not every electronic song has to make you want to move, the music just has to “move you” in some way, and I think Slidecamp shows that.
Real funky stuff coming from the electronic group Karate, I would definitely recommend checking out their BandCamp, where they provide a ton of free, excellent tracks that are original and really well done (FLAC downloads for all, nice!).

Never thought that I would be posting something like this, as it has a few hip-hop artists that I’m not too fond of, but the weird mix of trance and hip-hop just had me listening to this all the way through. The mix definitely picked up for me around 17:50, so try jumping to that part if you’re not feeling it at first. Overall a pretty unique mix and something I thought a few of you might enjoy!
Quite the unusual name, quite an usual song. I didn’t really know what to classify this as, but it is definitely a very memorable and unique track, and in all honesty, one of the few tracks where I enjoyed the build-up more than the actual drop. I’ve posted about Vexare before, and this just shows that this young artist (and this very German sounding Katzenwaffe, ha, I have no idea) are bringing a lot of new talent to the scene. Enjoy!

Another essential post, the PLM camp keeps making me talk about them, sorry if it has been overkill this week, but I’m sure you’ll agree they just keep putting out solid stuff! This tracks come to us from new sign-on Paul Basic, and just like the track by SuperVision that was posted yesterday, it hints of even bigger things to come. Overall a great remix, and has me excited for the impending album.

New artist on the Pretty Lights Music label, as as expected, not only does this teaser track not disappoint, it also foreshadows the big things to come. I’m now excited for this entire album because of this track, so that’s saying a lot. Another big tack to come out of the PLM camp is “Daydream” by Paul Basic, which I’m tempted to post as well because it is also solid. The PLM label is making moves this year, and with Menert’s album ready to drop at any time, it’s not over.
Simply put, a great mix. Virtual Boy has quite the distinctive sound, really akin to the name, it’s a retro video game vibe mixed with modern electro. This mix has it all and more, a lot of variety, good pacing, and a great sound. Best of all, it is a free mix with a lot of music, over 30 minutes worth. Enjoy!
Moombahton seems to be taking the electronic genre by storm, and I’m going to be honest, what I’ve liked out of that camp has been few and far in between. However, some tracks are just too damn catchy, and as this genre “matures”, I feel like we will see better quality stuff coming out of producers into this sound, such as the great mixes (IMO) that Dillon Francis puts out, notably Beautician 2.0 and a few others. Enjoy!
Another big track from a huge artist in the genre, sampling an even bigger artist in another genre… sounds good already, before you even press play. Luckily the music is as well done as the hype for this song should demand it be. It is a different track to be sure, but if you enjoyed Derek’s interpretation of NIN vs. Nirvana vs. Radiohead, than this track should be right up your alley.
