It’s funny because the closer the release date of Justice’s sophomore album gets, the more I think about them. More so as a worry of how they can make something that will ever compare to the level of Cross, but also just about how much I miss their sound. I’ve also been thinking about their past remixes and how much they put into making them perfect. There aren’t many out there, and a lot of the ones that are out are fake, but I can say with confidence that this remix is theirs. You can’t fake the signature funky bass lines that Justice is always on top of. Their choice to remix one of my favorite tracks of 2011 just makes it that much better. Thank you music gods for making this happen for us!

MGMT – Electric Feel (Justice Remix)
The Asteroids Galaxy Tour – The Golden Age

Pretty much every remix that RAC releases becomes a momentous occasion of sorts. For this post, you’re getting two! With a perfect, almost consistently flawless, combination of indie dance vibes and modern electronic synths, they continue to make us all proud.

Gigamesh – When You’re Dancing (RAC Mix)

Their Gigamesh remix is undoubtedly my favorite of the two. The genre being labeled as “Space Disco” couldn’t be more fitting. With Gigamesh already having a reputation of funky disco deliverance, the choice to have RAC put their intergalactic touch on it was keen to say the least. Definitely another feel good jam to add to the seemingly endless RAC classics list.

Foster the People – Pumped Up Kicks (Gigamesh Remix)

Givers – Meantime (RAC Mix)

What was going to be a one song post turned into me stumbling on this release from today! The way RAC uses Givers‘ singers Taylor Guarisco and Tiffany Lamson vocals in perfect harmony puts everything in its right place. You can’t help but let go of all things negative as the track runs through from start to finish. They said that although the track sounds simple, it was one of the hardest remixes they’ve ever done, taking almost 5 weeks to finish in its entirety. Needless to say, the extra effort pays off as RAC does it again.

RAC is going to release a new track when they get 10,000 fans and they’re barely 200 away! Do us and yourself a favor and go like their facebook page. If you haven’t had a chance to check out our interview with the brains behind the collective, click here. Cheers!

Loving me some Gooffee right now. I was first turned onto them by a track of their’s called “Flow” that was remixed by Torro Torro. Since then, I’ve been too excited about these guys. They’re atitude about their music, the swanky tunes, and the the gooffee-ness. Fortunately enough I got to shoot then a few questions online, and they came back with this lil guy. Enjoy!

Pretty rad guys. They’re new e.p. just came out, and it’s 100% free. Its got some killer moombahton and electro, and a few things I’m having trouble quantifying…..it’s all worth a dl tho, so hit that download button like there’s no tomorrow.

Towards the end of the interview they talk about this video, best music vid I’ve seen in a long time, honestly.

Dear Skrillex,

God dammit dude. Here you go again. You make it so easy to love you with these melodic remixes. How you manage to keep them so uplifting without compromising on filth is beyond me. What a combination of old and new! SebastiAn and you couldn’t have come together any more nicely. Thank you!

All the best,
Skinny Genes

P.S. You owe me new speakers.

Yes!

After a few days of deliberating, I decided to go ahead and kick off a new weekly mix series for you guys, gonna feature mostly electro, but really is gonna comprise of whatever I’m rocking out to that week, some oldies, some goldies, either way it’ll be a good time. Head over to the soundcloud page for a full tracklist, if any tracks catch your fancy let me know, I’d love to link you to a nice fat 320 dl.

Some solid electro in here, I dip into a couple of moombah tunes for a bit, but mostly its party music.

Spread the word, You Only Live Once!

While we’re on the topic of Porter Robinson remixes, this may be something to look forward to! In a frenzy of new sounds and subgenres surfacing on the blogosphere, Knife Party seems to be holding their own. Porter’s already known for his grimy, hard hitting tracks, and yet Knife Party manages to take it a step further. If you look past the fact that you may get a seizure while listening to this song, it’s pretty god damn awesome. This moombahton/hardcore/dubstep (aka moombahcore) sound is packed with energy. I love it! I picture the whole crowd having no choice but to get mental and jump around nasty to this live. Definitely need to see Knife Party in the near future.

Bonus Party!

Steven Zhu‘s bringing some promising electro talent out of LA/San Francisco. He already showcases a genuinely polished and versatile sound in his Original Mixes at a fairly young age. You’ll see what I mean when you listen to the tracks below — he goes from gritty basslines and wobs in “Accusations” to a relaxed trance sound in “Making Amends.” It seems like he’s still working to find his general niche, but whatever he hones in on seems like it’ll be good. He’s got a knack for quality Progressive House in his remixes as well. I personally prefer the glitchy electro but I guess that’s my personal preference in general. I’d love to hear what he can do with some vocal samples thrown onto his original tracks as well as remixing some lesser known songs. For now, peep some of his work below and keep an eye out!

ZHU – Accusations
ZHU – Discorat
ZHU – Making Amends
John Legend – Rolling in the Deep (ZHU Remix)
