Bomb Beats

Hello folks, my name is Mike and I’ve been tasked with throwing music up onto this blog every so often. Since this is my first post, here’s a little bit about me. I’m Canadian, attend UBC in Vancouver, and like to ski. According to Lush I’m a “shredder”.

Anyways, I’m just going to post music that I love at the time, no guarantees about what kind it’ll be, but I hope you guys will love it too.

p.s. If it’s a youtube video or something where you can’t download it, sorry, but I’m guessing that you guys are proficient enough with the internet to find a copy anyways.

Here we go.

The first song is Freeway by Kurt Vile. It’s chill, it’s summery, it’s exactly what I need for this time of year. Enjoy the cartoon in the video too.

Now for a new song by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zero’s, one of my all time favourite bands, “Man on Fire”. It’s part of their new album, Here, coming out May 29th, needless to say I’m stoked.

Next is Dillon Francis’ new’ish mix of Zedd’s Stars Come Out. It’s a banger and Dillon’s new style is really starting to make waves in the EDM world

Last song of the day, it’s the Dave Edwards Remix of Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. This track is more old-school, it’s chill but still has enough kick to get you out of bed.

Here’s a funny video I thought you guys would get a laugh out of too… Till next time.

What’s up bombers? I’m still trying to add some artistic flavor to my titles, so just accept the alliteration as it is. Hop you all enjoyed the absolutely insane weather last week, I happened to overdose on frisbee and grass stains myself. This past week has actually been pretty good to me [musically] in terms of diversity. I found some real good oldies from a few artists, and have been gathering new stuff from others. This post is gonna be pretty big, so brace yourself.

I was gonna post the new Alvin Risk remix of “We Are Young”, by Fun., but my boy NASS beat me to it. To make up for that, I’m sharing with you A NEW SYNCHRONICE TRACK, YEAHHH MOTHAFUCKAS. As always, these kids are putting out the sickest and slickest tunes for all you ragers. This is actually a remix of a Deadmau5 song, but it’s got their original spin packed tightly into every beat. They try their hand at laying essences of dub over vocals (something that usually doesn’t sound too great, in my opinion) and achieve nothing but success. It’s a ripper for sure and will definitely keep your party going hard. Give this track a download before it reaches the limit (and you have to find it on Hulkshare, ew). Below this track I’m also including the player for the boys’ remix of “Calling” which is probably one of the most renowned anthems of EDM. It’s completely sick, Hulkshare link included for download.

Alright, after that I’ve got a really cool remix of an old Fleetwood Mac song that should ring some sort of bell for many of you. Dave Edwards is a brand new name for me, but a name that I’m sure not to forget. This song brings a little bit of trance into the prog house genre and is sure to get you on your feet. Check out his Facebook page for more info on him!

Next up is a new project sponsored by Beatport. I haven’t done much research on it so I’ll get back to you on the nitty gritty, but basically it’s a 12 hour production workshop where a bunch of EDM producers came together and worked on some songs. It’s run through mau5trap, deadmau5′s record label. Anyway, they put out some really cool songs that are available for free through Beatport. Just click the “buy” link in the player!

Now I’ve got two pretty weet house tracks that are sure to make you wanna dance. First is a Project 46 remix of Avicii’s “Enough Is Enough.” It’s pretty sweet, the bass rips clean throughout the track, but the original plays through pretty strong which is unusual for a remix. Definitely give these guys a listen and share the sound. The second track is a house remix of (believe it or not) Krewella’s “Strobelights.” Now, Krewella is a duo comprised of the two most beautiful producers this world has seen. I just think they’re so attractive I could cry. Sweekuh gives this track a totally new feel. The bass bumps, the synth plays perfectly into every beat, and the vocals are clear as day. Give it a download!

Here we have something that tickled my fancy. My friend Remy is turning into a pretty badass mix master, and this is his latest work. It’s definitely worthy of a download. I’m not sure how mixcloud works exactly (Soundcloud knockoff fail) so I’ll just post a link to the download and the page.

Lastly I’ve got a track with by a new duo with serious house potential. Hujje, a duo from Denver dropped this song in celebration of their 1000 fans on Facebook. I’ve gotta give these guys credit because they’ve captured an Avicii-esque sound with this original. These guys (Josh and Josh) really know how to produce an upbeat jam that keeps you on your toes. Be sure to keep an eye on these guys because they’re rapidly gaining popularity.

That’s about all I’ve got for you this week. I’m thinking next week I’ll throw up a bunch of my favorite songs just to give you guys a punch in the bass. I’ve also got my Traktor S2, which means it’s time to start mixing and mashing. I’ll start posting some stuff to my Soundcloud once I get going.

Enjoy your week, my friends. Until we meet again,
