As the festival season of 2011 begins, the first of the big players, Rockness, has been regarded by many via social-networking sites to have a line-up superior to several of their competitors, and personally I'd be inclined to agree. I myself am somewhat of a Rockness veteran, traveling yearly from Orkney to the glorious banks of Loch Ness and being a proud owner of all the memorabilia available I cannot praise the atmosphere, the acts and the venue enough. Sticking in part to their dance roots which began in 2006 with mega-headliners The Chemical Brothers (who also played in 2007) [...]

You can tell that summers approaching when the release of quality house music starts to double in numbers. One man who appears to be behind alot of those numbers at the moment is Afrojack. Being able to move across such varied genres of music and create remixes as amazing as he does is a real talent in my book and right now, Afrojack is the King of it. As for The Wombats, even though every inch of my musical snobbery tells me I shouldn't like them, I've had a massive soft spot since the days of 'Kill The Director' and [...]

Just a few days ago, Afrojack released his latest remix and surprised us by showcasing a completely different, melodic, trancey side of him that I've never seen before. He takes the Wombats' exceptionally poppy, dancey indie rock anthem Techno Fan and transforms it into a gorgeous tech/house/electro masterpiece. Not only does this track show Afrojacks willingness to venture into other genres for remixes, but also his versatility as an artist and his ability to mash genres together to create straight up beautiful dance music. This banger is not only super danceable; it's also [...]
Summer jobs have consumed my life. Free time has been unexpectedly scarce lately, which has delayed your regular dosing of musical treats. My apologies. So here are a whole lotta songs I've been holding on to and some I've recently come across. Enjoy.Even if this song weren't golden I would still be posting it solely because of my love for Super Smash Bros. (For those of you who don't get the
Just in time for the long weekend we bring you some delicious tracks from the past couple of weeks. The Afrojack remix of The Wombats' Techno Fan is an absolute banger, while Mike Posner covers quite possibly the best Coldplay song ever written, with awesome results. We also threw in an indie jam by the Young Empires, and a guilty pleasure rap song by Uncle Murda - no, ridiculous hip hop is not dead! Techno Fan - The Wombats (Afrojack Extended Mix) The Scientist - Mike [...]
Satellite Stories claim that aside from wrestling polar bears, they like to play catchy party tunes to the likes of Phoenix , Two Door Cinema Club and The Wombats . That is, when their fingers aren't numb. The foursome hails from arctic city of Oulu, Finland which may explain either why theirt music is so quick-paced and ready to get things moving. It might also be worth mentioning these fellas enjoy electronic dance music, and if it weren't for the lack of synthesizer in their composition, their sound would be justified [...]
The new music just keeps coming from Afrojack. First track comes from a compilation dropping May 30th celebrating record label Turbo Recordings , and has a real cool vibe plus a massive drop towards the end. The second song, "Selecta," was released a few weeks ago around the same time as " Pop On Acid ," and is just the definition of a banger if I've ever heard one. Might be my favorite from the Dutchman in a while. Last up, is a remix of The Wombats' "Techno Fan." Bottom line may be that Afrojack is breathing new life [...]

I've been sleeping a Afrojack a bit lately since his tracks lately haven't been blowing me away, so I figured it was time to catch up on some. I'll admit at first I wasn't into Afrojack's collab track with R3hab at all.. Of course this was over my Macbook Pro's sub-par speakers and I know better by now to not judge a track without throwing it on my big speakers first. Later I proceeded to throw it on and crank things up to 11. Needless to say I now like the track a whole lot. [...]
![[Electro] The Wombats -Techno Fan (Afrojack Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3462752_lg.jpg)
With my dad being born in Livepool, I almost have duty to be biased towards new bands that come from there, The Wombats being such a band! Their new album ' This Modern Glitch ' see's them introduce a lot more synth sounds, so that probably explains why they inlisted the skills of electro 'A-Lister' Afrojack to produce a pretty killer remix. Adding his classic bouncing synth sounds, the Dutch DJ seems to be churning out out hit after hit and here we see him, yet again... producing another club banger! The Wombats [...]
Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: The Wombats Video: 'Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)' Highlight: "We shot this video in L.A. over two days," Matthew Murphy of the Wombats tells Spinner. "It was shot in the Geisha House on Hollywood Blvd. After the first day of filming, we all went out and had a massive night out. Ironically, after first thinking that perhaps the concept of the video was a little inaccurate in its a depiction of a night out with the Wombats, [...]
The ever-versatile Afrojack has provided us with yet another reason to laud him as one of the true driving forces in the ever-growing popularity of house music. His new remix of "Techno Fan" by The Wombats shows the genre's malleable nature, and sheer f***ing awesomeness. Bow down. Purchase: The Wombats - Techno Fan (Afrojack Extended Club Mix)
we here at ChinUp Music love the wombats...and now afrojack remixed "techno fan" to make it nearly 8 minutes long?! very clubby, and very afrojack...you can hear that in the synth and the kick drum. i'm glad he didn't try to change the vocals, as they're what really draw me into the song. big fat win!
So back in like february when i was getting my ticket for Avicii, my roommate made a horrendous mistake in pronouncing the great dj's name, making it as Jewish as possible... "Avi Kai". I will never let him live it down because he would do the very same... Anyway, Avicii is back with another track and i guess this is becoming more of a phenomenon where teenie boppers are starting to really get into house and trance, so this is for all the Jailbait out there???? Avicii - Jailbait (Original Mix) Download audio file [...]
Nick Van De Wall does it again by remixing The Wombats Techno Fan . Not your typical Afrojack sound but certainly is a quality tune. Already loved the original so Afrojack just made this about ten times better. He's on tour constantly so where does he find time to make these stellar tunes? This song is going to be hot shit live for sure. What a nice find before the summer hits. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: The Wombats - Techno [...]
