Figure - The Monsters Revenge (Original Mix)



Figure just let this go on his soundcloud, and it's blazin. This is on some real sketch dance slash dubstep slash electronic slash frankenstein shit. Amazing tune, guaranteed to get you moving or bashing your head against the wall or piss your parents off, whichever you prefer.

Zedd - Dovregubben (Original Mix)



This song was released a day or two ago on Dim Mak Records and I am really unsure why none of us have posted it yet. My apologies dirtybirds, this is a true "banger".

Famous - All Hail The Kid



I know that we NEVER post hip hop/rap on this site but to tell you the truth I am a hip hop fan first, dance/electronic fan second. I felt that this song was appropriate to post seeing as the beat is ill and it will definitely move a crowd. Famous kills it too, per usual. Great song all around.

Mark Knight & Funkagenda - Antidote (Sebastian Krieg Remix)


Mark Knight & Funkagenda are two awesome producers. However, Sebastien Krieg took this track and really made it a progressive listen that is easy on the ears. This house track is really groovy and almost hypnotizing. Also, it picks up towards the end of the song, which gives the track some necessary energy. Give it a listen.

Paul Thomas - Skaramoosh (Original Mix)


Quite honestly, even though this song came out a few days ago, I do not think I would have noticed the greatness of this song if it were not for Ferry Corsten's Countdown that recently played. This track was the lead off for the countdown, and it was a perfect pick - it really is a massive dance track that is perfect for the summer. Give it a listen.

Sabb - Re-Activated (Original Mix)


Sabb (Sabri Kastrati), has single handedly inspired an entire genre of music with his style alone. Coming out of Kosovo, Prishtinia, his Deep/Techy/Tribal/Hypnotic grooves have landed him major record deals with some of the most renowned labels in the industry such as Audiomatique Recordings, Defected, Toolroom Records, Cr2, and Noir Music. This particular tune has stood out to me ever since the first time I heard it. It combines vocal samples with synth stabs to form a sort of groove pattern that grows on itself throughout the track. Unbelievable use of arrangement skills and timing here by Sabb, and you can expect many more tracks like this one in his arsenal.

Avicii - Sound of Now (Vocal Mix)


Finally, Avicii comes out with a song that is not like his other, more mainstream, singles. I can see listeners comparing it to Snus, but that song is also quite atypical of Avicii at this point. I really like this progressive tune - the build ups and drops are not massive, but the song is really well done. It is something I could definitely cruise to in the summer. Give it a listen.
