LA's own Bixel Boys have a knack for crafting some of the world's favorite R&B tracks into down home club tracks. Like "Love Like This," "P.Y.T," and "Ride" before it, "Blurred Lines" fashions Robin Thicke's risque crooner into a fresh booty-popping bootleg. With T.I. and Pharrell on the mix and the music video (NSFW) in the minds of millions of men around the country, the Bixels are harnessing the best of American pop culture for their own devises.

Now that Daft Punk have introduced him to a new generation of electronic music fans, Giorgio Moroder has decided to stay awhile. The legendary Italian producer today unveiled the first track he produced in partnership with Google's Racer mobile experiment , immediately validating the faith that everyone's favorite French robots showed in essentially dedicating a Random Access Memories track to him. "Racer" conveys an immediate sense of movement by layering an instant classic analog synth line over a stomping throwback bass, navigating through a distant vocoded interlude to an infectiously melodic [...]
Produced in its entirety by the legendary Stuart Price, Pet Shop Boys 13th studio album "Electric" will see its official release on July 15th. In anticipation of its debut, the iconic band has enlisted none other than Berlin techno-maestro Boys Noize for an official remix of what promises to be the album's first single, "Axis." Stripping out the British duo's new wave sensibilities while leaving its driving bass line intact, Alex Ridha returns to his pre-Out of the Black form. Shirking away any semblance of civility, his rendition of "Axis" is heavy hitting techno at its most primal. [...]
Trap hero Baauer has uploaded the Disclosure remake that we heard at Coachella to his Soundcloud page. Eliza Doolittle's vocals on "You & Me" gets the Chippendale's treatment as Bauuer ups the tempo while doing his best to maintain the song's original elements. The dance-focus vibe remains intact, offering a refreshingly different side of Baauer. One thing's for sure: the energy in this remix is primed for the dance floor, so don't be surprised if this gem gets heavy rotation throughout the summer season. You just finished reading Disclosure - You & Me feat. [...]
Shadow Child and Tom Flynn are names synonymous with booming dance tracks. They've worked together in the past - the Phil Collins EP on Mark Fanciulli's Deleted imprint being their most notable release. This 2012 release showcased their ability to shape crisp percussion work with groovy basslines to construct dance floor missiles of sorts. Their remix for Kill Frenzy's "Errrybody" follows in similar order. The track's faint and eerie vocal flows in perfect harmony with the punchy and relentless drum work. The pairing of these underground forces proves to be a success once again. [...]
It’s been a promising year for American breakthrough outfit Disco Fries . Found holding the fort alongside Tommie Sunshine for Vicious Recordings earlier this year, the New York-based duo finds themselves in the hands of MYNC’s Cr2 Records imprint with a purebred peak time set-piece to add to their ever-expanding arsenal. The grinding festival formula is there and with tough yet exuberant stamina, Disco Fries look to be warming up considerably well for the foreseeable future.

After a slew of original collaborations including "Signal," "Mr. Lover," and "Incredible," Carnage continues on with his big room metamorphosis on the producer's rendition of "Hey Now." Lending his newfound festival talents to Martin Solveig & The Cataracs bouncy summertime vibes, Carnage douses the track's dance-pop aesthetics and sugary-sweet hooks in a tidal wave of thunderous synthwork. The reworked break sets the mix ablaze with Dutch-tinged, heavy electro stabs and pads transforming the candy-coated original into a razorblade-riddled Jolly rancher - this is one time you should take candy from a stranger. "Hey [...]

Anjunabeats has released yet another powerful track from Anjunabeats Volume 10, this time in the form of Boom Jinx and Maor Levi 's "When You Loved Me." The Norwegian and Israeli producers use American Ashley Tomberlin's vocals to contrast the devastating trance bass line with a organic bridge and chorus. There's no doubt this is an emotional break-up song, but it's got legs to stand on any dance floor as well.

LA Riots teams up with fellow Los Angeles producer Hi Deaf to create "Rewind," a rousing vocally driven electro house outing featuring the sinewy vocal styling of newcomer Jessie Malakouti. Another sound cut from LA Riots , "Rewind" opens powerfully with an anthemic top line and driving synthwork before it deceptively changes gears, dropping into a Dutch-tinged breakdown complete with high-octane horn blasts that kick you in the seat of your pants. Another track poised to define the festival season, "Rewind" has all the ingredients for another runaway hit from the prolific producer and should see its official release [...]
Australian duo Vandalism return with their latest electro house outing "Anywhere Else Tonight," this time handing over the remix reigns to Dirt Cheap for a dubbed out electro house rendition. Born in dark and dreary clubs, Dirt Cheap eviscerate the mix, letting the original melody peek through only briefly before dousing it in a sea of sawtooth growls and rib cracking percussion. If you are looking for some of that down and dirty, warehouse ready, circa 2009 electro then look no further, this one is certifiably filthy. Grab the entire Anywhere Else Tonight EP featuring [...]
One of Dancing Astronaut's Artists to Watch in 2013 , Mackenzie Johnson - MAKJ for short - has continued on his production tear with his latest original "Hold Up." After remixing Robbie Rivera's "Jump" in late April, MAKJ returns to the Juicy Music imprint packing a one-two punch of big room bliss. Crisp kicks and a blaring horn section march side by side to deliver a gut-wrenching and percussion-centric break that eschews melodic chordplay for aggressive electro elements. "Hold Up" further re-affirms the up-and-coming producer's promise as the 2013 summer and festival season heat up. Purchase: Beatport [...]
To celebrate Toolroom Record's 10-year anniversary, Digitalism have set out to remix "Truth" from British indie pop sensations Bloc Party.

A steady four-to-the-floor beat drives the production along while robust and intricately layered synthesizers morph the indie vibes into something more suitable for a dance floor, representing yet another sound release from the dance music mainstays. Purchase: Beatport You [...]

Warping the original into something nearly unrecognizable, the London-based duo use The Knocks' vocal cut to piece together a robo-coated groover. Bringing together disco guitar licks, humming synthesis and punchy kicks and claps, NAPT's take on "Modern Hearts" is genre transcendent and deliciously dance-able.

Embodying its namesake, Mysto & Pizzi's latest "Galax" is an intergalactic journey that twists and contorts into a black hole of burgeoning big room synthwork.

Melodic undertones contrast the greyscale breakdown establishing a sound foundation for Mysto & Pizzi's latest smash hit.
