Funky soul from 1973, with two bonus tracks After his innovative 1970 debut, Total Destruction to Your Mind , Swamp Dogg (born Jerry Williams, Jr.) continued to cut fine soul albums, despite a lack of big label distribution, chart action or major sales. His deep industry experience provided the background to create commercial hits, but Williams chose a more purely artistic route, chasing a muse that was equal parts southern soul and idiosyncratic outspokenness. Using funky bass lines, sharp horn charts and a voice that suggested the keening sound [...]
Welcome back to the real world. This weekend saw new tunes from Mat Zo and David Guetta , changes at Beatport, the return of Paris Hilton's music career, and more. Enjoy. Alive Remixes En Route This weekend brought first listens of two new remixes of Empire Of The Sun's Alive , with cuts from David Guetta and Mat Zo rounding out the four-track EP. Fans will unfortunately have to wait an extra [...]
They say that illusions and delusions are not real, yet our minds conjure both of these "unreal" things up. They say that things imagined only exist in our minds, yet, the mind is the only "real" thing we have. Do you understand this Neo? We are weird if we don't do what everyone else is doing, at least that's how our cultures make us think and feel at times. We are rebels if we question the rules and limitations of the systems we are inserted into, yet the powers that be can constantly change these rules [...]
Empire of the Sun's indie track 'Alive' has been receiving huge remix treatment, notably from Zedd as well as many others. However, as I went through our inbox today, I came across this stunning submission from CiRRO. I love this remix because so much of what made the original amazing is retained; the heady vocals, [...]

Irma Thomas' lost early-70s soul sides After relocating from New Orleans to Los Angeles, soul queen Irma Thomas largely disappeared from public view for a few years. But a series of singles produced by Jerry Williams (a.k.a. Swamp Dogg) on the indieCanyon, Roker and Fungus labels led to this eight-track release in 1973. Williams had proven himself a talented musician and producer, and in the latter capacity he leaves behind the absurdist humor of his own records to bring Thomas a helping of Southern soul and West Coast funk. Thomas' new material, much of [...]
Not so long ago we were thrilled to share a lovely track called "Alive" by Who Is Louis. It was perfect for Dank Radio - a song you'd definitely vibe out to with your favorite smoke. Well, the single has been remixed by an upcoming producer that goes by the name of Vakle, who's taken the airy, chilled-out rhythms and added the perfect amount of ambient electronic tweaks to it. Enjoy it below! Related posts:: Daft Punk ft. Panda Bear - Doin' It Right (The Golden [...]
I don't know too much about Vakle , but I definitely know a thing or two about the Danish electro-pop outfit Who Is Louis . "Alive" in its original form is so mellow and can be a total trip, with lead singer Greta's vocals reminding me in a way of old school Animal Collective. Vakle has taken this vibed out single and put a much more electronic, ambient twist on it. A job well done indeed. Peep that below and if you're unfamiliar with the original you can find that further down.
Empire of the Sun's "Alive" is already shaping up to be one of summer's biggest and brightest hits, but what happens, you may be asking when Mat Zo takes the reigns? Good things. This sounds like the Mat Zo of 2011 - using big room tricks in a savvy manner, sweeping builds, clean effects, and complete joy to the listener's ear. Enjoy a listen below. The remix package will be out on June 13th. You just finished reading Premiere: Empire of the Sun - Alive (Mat Zo Remix) ! Consider [...]
Krew-to-the-fuxing-ella. One of the biggest trio's in the music industry right now, they are causing waves tsunamis over every single part of the electrical music spectrum. Be it Drum n Bass, Dubstep, or House, Krewella will nail it. Having received huge remix attention from names such as Hardwell and DJ Chuckie, the Krew is on fire. With [...]
'Alive 20072 el disco que capturó la gira de Daft Punk. En el 2006 Coachella tenía una cartel digno de presumirse. Los headliners eran Tool y Depeche Mode , además de que el cartel contaba con otros grandes nombres como Sigur Rós , Franz Ferdinand , Madonna (una verdadera rareza al menos en lo que a festivales se refiere) y Massive Attack . De entre todos esos nombres resaltaba uno más: Daft Punk . Los franceses aparecían segundos a Depeche Mode y estaban [...]
The rising Chi-town trio known as Krewella are quickly becoming a household name. After seeing them this past weekend at Wango Tango in LA, I've taken note to how much they've matured with the inevitable popularity from the previous show I saw back on New Years Eve in Denver. Hardwell is one to also take notice, remixing the one song that continues to stay 'Alive' on the radio every single day. He adds a nice progressive house touch to make it a full energized banger that will rock the shoes right off your feet. Take a listen to it below. [...]
VERY VERY IDEAL. Another gem for the night. Alex Sonata (feat Quilla) - Alive (Original Mix) Tweet Facebook LinkedIn Tumblr Stumble Digg Delicious
Feature Cuts has done it again: Produced a remix tastefully arranged with tamed dubstep elements and time-honored house beats. This time Empire of the Sun's recent "Alive" got the uptempo treatment without having the catchy-as-hell vocals intact. I really hope I hear this or some other Feature Cuts EDM while clubbing this summer.
Motherly Love With all the success seen by today's DJs and producers, what EDM (electronic dance mother) wouldn't be proud of their kid? Artists across the globe took time out for Mother's Day yesterday to give thanks to mom for her unconditional love. "Happy Mothersday!" Hardwell shares a heartwarming photo with mum. Felix Cartal and mom in a charming pic. Now we know where he gets [...]
While their rambunctious touring life is well known, Krewella's releases have simultaneously garnered massive attention from fellow producers. Their iconic single "Alive" has impressively managed to stay relevant despite being released ten months ago. After receiving countless remixes and reaching the top of Billboard's Dance/Mix Show airplay chart , it's safe to say "Alive" has reached the pinnacle of success. For what is being deemed 'the final' remix, beloved mainstage talent Hardwell has lent his big room production abilities to the pervasive single. After a warm, sentimental build up, Hardwell introduces a booming drop with a raucous Dutch flavor. Purchase: Beatport [...]
When we said that Krewella would be one of the biggest artists to blow up the scene this year, we meant it. Their stunning track 'Alive' just received a heavy remix treatment from big dog Hardwell. Whilst I love the original to bits, this remix adds a refreshing touch, and will get you onto the [...]
Krewella s "Alive" has escalated to become one of the biggest dance tracks of 2013; from the original mix that has been featured on national television to Cash Cash and Kalkutta's remix that has dominated the early days of festival season. As the temperature is soon to be cranked up and summer events to be full swing, the Krew's renowned single is slated to reach new heights. Teased by Hardwell at Coachella and the inaugural I Am Hardwell show, his own remix of "Alive" has been debuted by Pete Tong for this week's Essential Selection, a likely indicator of an imminent release. [...]
Feature Cuts is back with an energy fuelled remix of Empire of The Sun's huge hit 'Alive'. This hard hitting electro house tune is a real treat to the ear, perfectly balancing out the superb vocals with a heavy electro break around the 1:20 mark. The whole song feels beautifully well rounded, and as if [...]

Anton Zaslavski, better known as Zedd , has established himself as one of the most talented producers in EDM. The German talent gained recognition by doing official remixes for Skrillex and Lady Gaga , and since then has only received increasing amounts of praise from other artists. Lately, every song Zedd has been putting out has been nothing short of excellent. Releases like "Clarity" and "Spectrum" have been two of the most impacting songs in dance music.
