Since making a splash with spotlight-stealing Ultra Music Festival performances and releasing their sophomore album Free The Universe , the talents of Major Lazer have been in high demand. Still early in the summer, Diplo's side project has collaborated with everyone from 2 Chainz to Macklemore, and weeks after remixing Dada Life's " Boing Clash Boom ," they're back to shape-shift Jack Beats' latest production "KYD." In cohorts with Jack, Major Lazer leave their dancehall-heavy sounds behind but inject the fun-loving, bouncy stylings that support all of their adored tunes. You just [...]
Skrillex's latest Essential Mix was one of the most anticipated of recent memory as the jet-setting producer hasn't released a ton of music recently, so it was assumed that some new tracks would be premiered during his set. Luckily listeners were not disappointed as one of the mega standout premieres was the Dog Blood remix of A$AP Rocky's Wild For The Night . The remix adds a heavy dose of acid-electro that falls perfectly in line with other Dog Blood tracks. It takes very little time to [...]
Californian duo Norin & Rad have set the scene on fire over the past few years. Their fusion of genres, from uplifting trance to electro house, has been a hit with the biggest DJs in the world and it looks set to continue with their latest track, Bird Is The Word . The title may be shared by that oh-so-annoying track famously featured in Full Metal Jacket and Family Guy, but the similarity ends there. It’s another fine example of mixing up different styles, starting with a minimal electro-house vibe and a catchy synth [...]

Made of Vanessa Giovacchini and Marylouise Pels, POSSO is a gorgeous female DJ duo, so the track name "Old Man" is anything but synonymous with the artists behind this release. Remy Le Duc , while a man is still far from "old". Taking after the theme of the music we guessed right in assuming the tone would be evocative. The rise into electro house however, was completely unexpected. Catch POSSO On Tour Across North America! Drawing the free release's inspiration from "the origin of all modern music, the blues", [...]

When you wholeheartedly know what is right, it is immediately easy to see what is clearly wrong. The Browsers from Paris know that there is a path of hefty hard work laid out in front of them, but they are both refusing to lie down and to give in. Throughout the war of the narrow-minded, and the battles of the socially-inept worldly blockers, the real winners will prevail. An if you’re finding it hard at the moment (no matter what field you’re in) then just know.. that you WILL win and that giving up is NOT an option. [...]
Two incredible talents, Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo and Sir Paul McCartney, have teamed up with Youth for what could possibly be the most unlikely collaboration of 2013. The Bloody Beetroots arena-electronica paired with Paul McCartney's vocal stylings is a match made in crossover heaven. Lush piano melodies and the ex-Beatles anthemic crooning fits effortlessly alongside the Beetroots growling synthesizers and thunderous kick drums. Delivered only as the Beetroots could, the track's mellow, classic rock chorus dazzles before the mix dives deep into the underbelly of dark electronica. Did Paul McCartney just become the most bad ass grandpa in existence? [...]
With the launch of his "Martin Solveig and Friends" party at Pacha the man in the headband can now be added to the constantly growing list of Ibiza summer residencies. While his productions aren't strangers to the island, the announcement does mark a milestone for Solveig as his first ever White Isle residency. Solveig will be accompanied by his friends Laidback Luke, Bassjackers, Armand van Helden, Sidney Samson, and Cassius on four dates scheduled throughout July, August, and September. If heavy pounding big room sounds are your cup of tea then Solveig's night at Pacha might be worth [...]
Reborn for 2013, Ted Nilsson , CJay Swayne and Errol Reid take the Crystal Waters & Neal Conway written, Basement Boys produced 1991 classic of ‘Gypsy Woman’ - and cover it spectacularly as fresh house & garage cut called ‘Homeless.’ Sharing the bill (from Amsterdam) is Martin Garrix’s amazing cut entitled ‘Animals.’ Fuelled with all the energy from a war that the a**holes and witches with never win (in a typical 9-5 work environment), ‘Animals’ triumphs over production evilness any given day of any week. TED NILSSON, CJAY [...]
Tiesto's 2005 hit Adagio For Strings is one of those songs that still sounds as great as it did when you heard it for the first time, uplifting to both the soul and mind with its progressive basslines and enticingly positive vibes. However, with its recent makeover by the Dutch big room maestros Blasterjaxx , Adagio for Strings is bigger and badder than it has ever been. With nearly a three-minute introduction paying homage to the timeless favorite, it's clear The Hague natives are in no rush to just throw together a [...]
Genre-divergent trio Brass Knuckles have established themselves as more than just an electro outfit with their unique blend of nu disco, electro house, synthpop and rock undertones. Their latest "As Long As I'm Alive" featuring vocalist John Ryan once again pushes their own sonic envelope into uncharted territory. Using John's vocals to drive the mix, the Miami-based trio concoct an addicting mixture of soaring vocals and driven bass lines for what develops into something truly satisfying. Part sugary sweet nu-disco with a subtle electro tinge, "As Long As I'm Alive" has futuristic arena rock written all over it. [...]
The day has arrived when one of the most anticipated releases in recent months on Spinnin' Records has finally dropped. Martin Garrix's Animals has recieved a lot of hype since it was first previewed to the world last month. It's a song that I first heard mashed-up on Hardwell podcast and I immediately took notice. With a [...]
We've teamed up with one of the more frequent and most promising acts on LessThan32s roster, Shapes Of Light , to give you guys a free electro house stomper that should start your week off just right. Theory is a bass track unlike any we've heard this year. It manages to be more musical than maximal while still focusing on the dark and looming production motif seen throughout most Shapes Of Light tracks. Big horn sections and soft timpani rolls keep this track from feeling taboo while the pre-drop melody and movement of [...]
Having already united two of Europe’s most exciting and sought after assets back in February, Wall Recordings up-the-ante for the summer season ahead with a well-oiled remix package for Style of Eye and Tom Staar ’s collaborative masterpiece “ After Dark .” Nom De Strip is first to bat, stamping his signature low-end stance on electro house across the original and leading nicely to Hard Rock Sofa ’s fail-safe take of a more melodic focus. British underground advocates Vanilla Ace lower the octane considerably with their calmer nod to the energy of [...]
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss!!! Supported by Ruckerz Music, Bo Cendars returns back around our corner with an on-the-money uptempo number called ‘Como Tú Quieras.’ Ruthlessly floor-active, this has all the power to make you move. As one would say to the bartender.. more of the same please Bo!

After reaching 100,000 fans on Facebook, Marlon and Ralph present "Crackin," a full throttle production reminiscent of previous efforts such as " Duckface " or " Grid ."

Gesaffelstein , the sharp-dressed man of Bromance , has just released a music video to accompany his first single on Skrillex's ever-rising OWSLA imprint. Pursuit is a dark, brooding, and ultimately awesome bit of techno, and the video is just as crazy. Check out the video below, and grab the single on iTunes now. The post In Pursuit Of Gesaffelstein appeared first on LessThan3 .
Skrillex 's eclectic Essential Mix spurred all manner of reactions from various dance music factions, and his included bootleg of a track by UK techno producer Blawan has continued to generate conversation days after Mr. Moore left the BBC studios. As his underrated Burial-inspired Leaving EP indicated, Skrillex is exploring new sonic territory. Just as his time spent with deadmau5 contributed the plucky chords on "All I Ask of You," Skrillex is clearly channeling a bit of current Dog Blood collaborator Boys Noize on this bootleg. From the robotic gulping [...]

Michael Woods returns with another blistering electro output to follow up March's "Platinum Chains." Although its percussive focal points are in line with 20132s trend for minimal drops, "Clanga" adds a bit more electro to its festival-friendly breakdown. Flanked on either side by industrial melodies and a "funky fresh beats" sample, Woods' latest adds a metallic twist on its banging bass line - giving proper consideration to the 'clang' in "Clanga."
