ALUNAGEORGE – YOU KNOW YOU LIKE IT (BOBBY TANK REMIX) + BONUS DL
Huge fan of the AlunaGeorge's original, but Bobby Tank gives it his signature elevated synth + intricate beat sophistication. The extra track is immense and is a must grab!!
Can't get enough of this track

Florence And The Machine - Cosmic Love (Seven Lions Remix)
I'm aware and apologize for not posting more dubstep as of late. I don't want to be another one of the elitist hoity-toity dumb-heads who snub their noses at the bassy younger brother of the electronic family tree. The youngest kids usually get picked on the most. Here is a gorgeous and quality execution of Florence and the Machine's ubiquitous "Comsmic Love," of whom is very familiar with the remix game. Nonetheless, Seven Lions manages to make it explosively huge yet enhancing the beauty and delicacy of the original. Well done.
Download link after the jump.

Goldroom - Fifteen (ft Chela) (Xtrafunk Rmx)
Warm and soaring with a sweet arpeggiation keeping your ascension steady and smooth. Excellent clean work. You kids need to be putting this on your "Summer Mix" playlists, mix CD's and mixtapes (I'll explain what a "tape" is another time). In the meantime get lost in this song.

Flosstradamus remixes Lana Del Rey
A tad bit road weary and worn around the edges, Lana Del Rey's 'Videogame' has been remixed by most all of the EDM musicians within the earth's 196ish independent nations. Yes, all of them. From the overly exploited acapellas and stem files, Flosstradamus' slow steamer is a stand-out. They blew my mind with their remix of Usher and Diplo's brainchild 'Climax,' a remix in which I thoroughly enjoy more than the original and they are currently doing much of the same here. man!
killing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dawn Golden & Rossy Cross. Oh My, I can't stop listening!
Dawn Golden and Rossy Cross is actually one fella, Dexter Tortoriello, a 24 year old genius. I have been soaking in this sound recently. His first EP, off of Mad Decent, is full and lavishly melancholy. Sounds and music resonate differently with each soul. Dexter's music is a magnet to my core, pulling out those thoughts and emotions I've always desired to convey in my own music. It's tone is my own. I can't wait to make more music!! Distant piano's, broken drum machines, experimental noise and deep lyrical sincerity. Oh Man!! Pick up the his "Blow" EP right now!
From the 'Blow EP'
Incredible cover, i like much more than the original.
Can't tell you how many times i've listened to this remix. Emotive, mysterious and utterly mesmerizing.

Adam 'MCA' Yauch 1964-2012
I am saddened by the news of Adam 'MCA' Yauch.
The Beastie Boys have always been one of my favorite groups, an incredible musical inspiration, and never far from any playlist or mixtape I've compiled. Music just lost a hero of mine.
Mars1 & Doze Green paint
This video is over a year old, but has been inspiring me as of late. Love these guys' work.

Rustie’s BBC1 Essential Mix
Rustie premiered his Essential Mix Fri Apr 6 on the BBC Radio 1 show, one and only Pete Tong. The mix features a selection of Rap, UK bass, R&B and Trap-style House which Rustie smartly intermingles around his own twitchy, organic funk sounds.
From Rick Ross, Big Sean and Destiny’s Child the heavy hitters show up in larger-than-life style supplemented by unreleased work from trend-setters like Hudson Mohawke, Lunice cleverly marked by this Zelda sample.
***There's definitely offensive language here. Mom and Dad, you may want to think of letting your kids listen to something else, right now.

Shook Feat. Ronika - Distorted Love
Some glorious funk tastefully delivered by Shook. With an immense remix of Ting Ting's 'Hang it up' (one of which blows my mind!), and a complete arsenal of originals and innovative remixes - a throw-back sound, pocket grooves and intoxicated keyboard solos intermingle with perfection.
and you need to get this one, by any means necessary

Muppet Star Wars Figures - Why wasn't I notified!?!?!
The Corporate Giant of all things imagination, mice and wishing on stars has taken it upon themselves to produce, market and sell Muppet based Star Wars action figures. As far as I am aware, I am still without any of these in my possession, and the press release was from November. I remember that episode way back in 1980, and reruns of the same - the Muppets accompanied by much of the cast from Star Wars. I can't tell you how many times I watched that episode. I miss that show and most the movies (at least the one's in which Jim Henson was still involved). So much of my imagination was molded by the Muppets and Star Wars. Unfortunately, the figures can only be purchased at any Disney Themepark; but not if Ebay has anything to say about it! Here's some fun facts correlating Star Wars with the Muppets.
Mighty Mouse remixes Nyteowl
Mighty Mouse's remixing career has been on a steady incline. His latest work, for Nyteowl’s “Love Of Mine,” is a bit larger than what we usually hear from M2. He's taken his signature disco groove to a grittier destination and is a much welcomed change.

DIPLO & VATO GONZALEZ – “RASCLAT RIDDIM”
Mad Decent head honcho Diplo and Dutch ‘dirty House’ originator (and DMP alumnus) Vato Gonzalez have just unleashed a club killer. “Rasclart Riddim” gets under your skin and keeps you itching. Insanely addictive, with cross-hairs aimed straight for the dancefloor. According to Diplo it’s for 'his DJ buddies.'

Anbuley pushes African music into the Club's Future
Anbuley’s second EP ‘Kemo′ Yoo Keke‘ is available now and has already been said to push African music into the future. Produced by Tipanic (Big’n'Hairy) this EP ignores continental as well as genre boundaries. The lyrics are entirely sung in Ga (language spoken mainly in the Accra area), the music is inspired by European dancefloors. This makes for an exciting Afro-European take on club music. Anbuley herself is based in Vienna, Austria but rooted in Ghana. Amazing work!

Banksy Defaces the Simpsons
Consider me late to the party, but I was totally unaware of Banksy's redo of the (eternally edited) Simpsons intro. The Bristol, England artist art-directed the hallowed ground of "The Simpsons" title sequence. I would assume some areas of political and social allegiance each would mutually endorse [Banksy and the Simpsons' creators/producers], and Banksy in part would simply produce hilarity and high-jinx. I was terribly wrong, and silly for believing he would do nothing but deface the beige facade of the status quo. For that I applaud you, sir. Good to see some sketches from Banksy, rather than a finished stencil or canvas.
