Electronic: “Drift Away” by Pretty Lights

In my opinion, this might be the most overlooked/underrated Pretty Lights song out there, as I think that the sound here is akin to his earlier soulful works, but still has the upbeat tempo that is more often found in his newer productions. Off of the Glowing In The Darkest Night EP, I feel that this song puts to rest any claims that might be made about PL’s inability to put out great tracks that have feeling, despite his recent catering to the concert crowd, PL still delivers on his more ambitious album tracks.

Electronic: “Beyond Right Now (Remix)” by Ronald Jenkees

Papa Roach Sessions

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from the great Ronald Jenkees, who seemingly dominated the YouTube scene and then left, never to be heard from again. But there seems to be hope as he has released preview tracks of his impending next album on SoundCloud. In the meanwhile, you’ll have to ease the wait with great remixes like this from the Peaceblaster mega album.

Electronic: “Fratres for Piano and Violin” by Beats Antique

Beats Antique always seems to go out of their way to make something unique, so when the Trunk Archives came out, I knew to expect something totally out there. Labeled as an album with some of their more experimental works that didn’t quite fit on their other full albums, The Trunk Archives is a collection of Beats Antiques most unique works, and an excellent EP in its own right. This is one of my favorites off of this EP, a brilliant mix of violin and electronic.

Dubstep: “Look At Me Now (Remix)” by Slim Thugz

Busta Rhymes

Needed to end the week with an upbeat dubstep remix, and this one fits the bill nicely. “Look At Me Now” is kind of a love/hate song, but it does have an upbeat vibe and this remix really capitalizes on that, and best of all, it loses the shitty Chris Brown verse! It’s up for free download this week which means you are also getting a freebie, so grab the download and have a nice weekend!

Electronic Submissions

Electronic: “Sunny Day” by DJ Siako

art is my hustle

Our first featured submission, and I”ll just say I’m glad we started off on the right foot with this one. “Sunny Day” features a really unique funk/electronic sound that just emits a good vibe and makes it hard not to be in a good mood. DJ Siako contacted me about maybe making a submission, and I’m really glad I check out his SoundCloud, and I think you will be too.

Electronic: “Fluorescence” by MiMOSA

58 Degrees was somewhat of a departure for Tigran Mimosa, the style on the album was not radically different in my opinion, but overall it definitely had a distinct feel. One of my favorite tracks from the EP was “Flourescence”, which is the song featured above, it has some haunting melodies tied in with a catchy “wobble”, and I guarantee that after a few listens you’ll be stuck humming it to yourself.

Electronic: “Why Wait?” by Ooah

This was released a little while back, but just put up today on Ooah’s SoundCloud for free download. It’s definitely a different track, but a familiar style for Ooah, the piano accompanies the “wobbles” nicely, and adds a serene melody to an otherwise fun and upbeat track. Now that it’s up for free, get it below!

Glitch-Hop: “Back Up Off The Floor Pt. 2 (feat. The Grouch)” by edIT

The Glitch Mob @ Valencia

Arguably one of the most talented producers of “glitch” music and a true vanguard of the genre, edIT is most known for his debut in the electronic genre with Crying Over Prose For No Reason, but not as much praise (in my opinion) is given to his second album known as Certified Air Raid Material. One of my favorite tracks from this album is edIT’s paring with the highly talented lyricist The Grouch, as the two dynamic figures create that is full of originality and an overall fun sound.

Electronic: Pretty Lights vs Radiohead vs Nirvana vs NIN

Pretty Lights vs Nirvana vs Radiohead vs NIN Download

This is a very experimental piece for Derek, who usually relies on very soulful filled melodies, and as of late, hard hitting remixes. This however, is a bit more abstract sounding to my ears, call it acquired listening, call it a new style, Derek seems to be showing that he can put great effort and ability into any type of sound he pursues. I know a few people won’t be too happy to here this new style for Derek, but I for one am really please with how this turned out.
