Feed Me - The Whiplash hasn't eaten in a while

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 18:02:00 +0000

John Gooch's latest musical alter-ego Feed-Me reminds me why I love Electro. I mean how else am I going to imagine a Break-dancing Sorcerer battle a Robotic Elephant with laser beams?
Feed-Me has been dropping some quality tracks since his monster debut album Feed-Me's Big Adventure, what was truly an adventure [Highly recommended]. Trending on the current wave of Dub-influenced Electo synths and samples, Gooch sets himself apart from the dozens of other producers using the same palette with his tasteful and complex layering. Some think he and Sonny Moore [Skrillex] were separated at birth. But no iTunes for the Mau5trap artist, so enjoy these nuggets... ill see you on Beatport.

Skrillex's Filthy Cinema

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 21:55:00 +0000

I thought a lot of you had already heard this remix... I am begining to realize the monstrosity of this remix does not match its reach. Benny Benassi's Cinema has lyrics that may very well become a mini summer anthem. However, this remix by the Prince of Darkness (a.k.a. Skrillex) is a diamond in the filth. Every time I play this song aloud to a pair of unsuspecting ears, the physical reaction to the song's drop seems to be consistant: First- a startled look (like a gunshot just went off at midnight in a quiet suburban neighborhood). Then- the slow half-step head-nod begins to the beat. The reaction is finalized when the listener looks up with a strong and ugly Stank Face that one would get if tricked into eating a black Jelly Bean... After having your brain bashed in by this amazing array of noises, Skrillex reminds us darkness can only exist in a world of light, and brings us back to Gary Go's vocals. The excitement builds all over again, and repeats. "D-D-D-D-D-Drop tha Bass".

Skrillex has done it once again, and it is clear why he is a HpW favorite. If this is your first (or one of a few) exposures to Skrillex make sure to pick up his album Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites and have your mind blown. He will also be at Coachella on Friday, and you would be stupid to miss his sweaty spectacle.

Deadmau5 Remixes the Foo-Fighters!

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 20:13:00 +0000

Mr. Joel Zimmerman demonstrated his mouse-like reflexes, wasting no time to drop his newest remix of the Foo Fighters single "Rope" from their upcoming album, Wasting Light, out April 12th. The Mau5 sped the tempo up a bit and nibbled away at song's rock, just enough to make room to inject some dance. It's an amazing balance of genres that had its debut when Deadmau5 stopped by Pete Tong's BBC Radio1 show a few days ago. If you ask me, it deserves a hell of alot more Radio play here in the states.

Also, if you are a Deadmau5 fan, you need to check out some of the delicious little nuggets he has been releasing on his SoundCloud recently. One of my personal favorites is the song mysteriously named "HR 8938 Cephei" (which is also available to buy on Beatport).

Pure Breakage

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 21:04:00 +0000

Oh my. Breakage, the British Master of Mellow Monsters is at it again donating whiplasams to receiving ears. The same producer who brought you the epic Dog Days Are Over Remix has produced an amazing new album, Foundation, and it is truly a masterpiece. Pure Breakage, true to form with a soothing harmony of buzzes and rumbles over a bead of Drum & Bass. An amazing album worth long uninterrupted listening sessions.

Also, just to top this post off like a flaming Congniac dessert, Breakage has an amazing single out graced by the voice of Jess Mills. The release is also sewn with good remixes. Worthy of your dirtiest sound devices. (Play or Right-Click to 'Save As') Breakage (feat. Jess Mills) - Fighting Fire ♫

The Britney & The X-Chromosome

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 15:43:00 +0000

Like it or not, it's Britney Season. As songs trickle out leading up to the release of Femme Fatale prepare to hear them plague everything from your club’s dance floors to home stereos plugged into pink iPods. I'm not quite sure what it is about her songs, but they seem to have a direct chemical effect on the X-Chromosome. It's a scene you have all undoubtedly experienced... The DJ drops a Britney hit in a club, and the dance-floor erupts to the high pitch shriek of excitement while girls point to their BFF’s and dance over to each-other in a [borderline] whorish manner. This DJ Liam Keegan remix is the next song to trigger such insanity. Enjoy ladies (and gentleman).

Nervo: Double Vision

Question: What is better than two hot blonds? Answer: Twin sisters that make Dirty Beats. Meet Nervo a.ka. Liv and Mim Nervo. The last couple Nervo tracks I have heard have been bangers; I had to know more. Upon further investigation I was pleasently surprised to find there is more than meets the eye. These babes are the real deal and there resume is quite impressive.
Songwriters and by day their clever and sassy lyrics have penned songs you have undoubtedly heard... David Guetta's "When Love Takes Over" featuring Kelly Rowland (as well as 2 other tracks on his Grammy award winning album); 3 songs on Ke$ha's Animal and well as calibrations with the likes of Kaskade, Pussycat Dolls, Laidback Luke, the Mau5, and my personal favorite Miley Cyrus. They just signed with Austrawekrs and Virgin Records dealed to sign any new talent they may find under their own Nervo Records. I'm excited, and expecting big things from these ladies. They have put out a couple original songs so far with each having a slew of great remixes. BOOM.

I wish it was Sunday

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 22:40:00 +0000

I have been searching for Sunday Girl in between cushions of the web ever since I posted Diplo's remix of Four Floors a few months ago. The beauty's music has slowly been trickling out, but still has yet to release an album in the US... C'mon Girl! I love your style. Stop teasing.

For years Sunday Girl a.k.a. Jade Williams only used to sing along to radio in her room behind a closed door. With an ear to the door her mother asked (and probably begged) her to take her talents public, however a severe case of stage fright terrified her to no end. Allegedly, her mother took her to several visits to a hypnotherapist to cure her of her phobia, and oh how thankful we are to mamma Williams. The U.K. native's name comes from an job she had in a pet store where she worked only on sunday Sunday, and was known simply as Sunday Girl.

Her debut album is said to be due out next June and allegedly produced in part by Diplo himself. If this is a lie I am going to have to commit Hara-kiri. Until then here are some Sunday Girl tracks to tickle your fancy.

Weekend Whiplash: Back with Big Bad Durty Beats

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 02:44:00 +0000

Dusting off the spider webs after a crazy summer of mayhem. I must say it feels good to be back at it again. The extended break from posting as piled up a good number of songs to tickle your musical thirst. I figured I'd hit you with a bunch right off the bat on a playlist to get your weekends started off right. This is where the playlist feature on the site's player reminds you what your favorite music blog is. Rapidfire Weekend Whiplash Bitches.

I have to intro this playlist with the Mau5's newest nuggetes to hit the waves. I am LOVING his latest Strobesque song called Raise Your Weapon. Set this as your next wakeup alarm and start your day off inspired. He takes his mellow into some dub. Then he layers more vocals on a banger for Sofi Need A Ladder. Yum.

Scissor Scistors - Any Which Way (Carte Blanche Remix)

noreply@blogger.com (4lexander) — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 15:58:00 +0000

Hello Strangers! ... I have been M.I.A for far too long and I have somewhat neglected the site, what can I say it has been a busy summer!

'Any Which Way'... went one way and then the other as successfully as Lionel Messi usually does when running at defenders in the claret and blue of Barcelona.

The original quite a funky throwback pop record, this remix has taken a U-Turn... On it's way it took on some acid house and picked up a touch of Electro, any which way you look at it we now have a corker of a dance track.

'ED Banger' Parisian 'DJ Mehdi' and Londoner 'Riton' are the two minds behind 'Carte Blanche'. You can find both artists on Beatport and Itunes.

So This is Goodbye...

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:16:00 +0000

Have you ever sat alone wondering/hoping that someone else in the world is feeling the same thing that you are.... comforting yourself with the thought that if someone else has been able live through the same pain that everything is going to be ok? William Fitzsimmons knows what I'm talking about. I needed to find this song, and I'm glad I did.

William Fitzsimmons has a very interesting story that may lend to explain the healing that his music seems to bring. Growing up in a household with two blind parents, the house was filled with a pluthera of musical instruments to tickle the strong auditory senses that remained. From the begining of his life music was always meant to heal, and as you can hear, Will learned how to harness it well.

This song is off of William Fitzsimmons album Derivatives, which is a journey on its own. I think I just found an album that will reemerge in my life over and over again. You can find it on

Swedish Lumination

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 20:04:00 +0000

The Swedish have been dishing out some amazing music recently, and no matter what the weather is like around you today, this remix is sure to put some sunshine in your day. We can thank these two beauties, Rebecca & Fiona. These ladies seem to rule the Stockholm club scene with an army of devout followers, and hosts to one of Sweden's most popular blogs. While they spend most of their time DJ's the club scene, they have also put out some original music of their own, and their latest single "Luminary Ones" is a huge hit.
It seems that the Swedish stick together, because the final touch was put on this song by some other Stockholm natives, the trio known as Nause. This is the first remix we have heard from these guys, but hopefully its not the last.

Bop Bop Americano!

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:43:00 +0000

All I have to say is thank god I found this song. Everyone's favorite goofy summer anthem has been infectiously spreading itself. Bop Bop Americano! I quickly sparked a smile the first time I heard Yolanda Be Cool's 'We No Speak Americano' played on my friend's iPod. To be honest, after hearing for the 3rd time in a row, I was ready to throw the iPod it was playing on out of the window. I thought to myself the whole time I was listening to it... "something is out of place... something is missing" The song didn't quite go where I was hoping it would. I knew it needed that remix touch.
When I found Chew Fu's remix I just about wet my pants. The 'something missing' has been found! Bop Bop Americano! Brooklyn's Chew Fu is a self proclaimed 'Serial Fixer' that seems to be constantly listening to public demand and upgrading songs to club-banger status. He has re-touched everything from Frank Sinatra, to Snoop Dogg, to Gaga... all with great success.

Neo Tokyo

noreply@blogger.com (4lexander) — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 14:56:00 +0000

Mention Neo Tokyo and I'm thinking... Japan, excessive neon lights, lasers and crazy transportation; something like a scene out of 'Running Man'. I'm also thinking of another movie, one that disturbed me as a child. Believing it was a friendly cartoon, ignoring the R rating on it's box, I happily pushed 'Akira' into the VCR and pressed play. What followed was nuclear explosions, World War III and gang wars. All of which, in classic Manga style were detailed very graphically... especially for a 6 year old.

So with these connotations in mind it also comes as a surprise to find out that Neo Tokyo hail from *drum roll* ... WALES! That's right the land of sheep, rugby and place names like Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch, pronounce that one if you can!

This track could definitely be used in one of those typical vibrant montages we so often see in a creative Manga film such as Akira... or right in your ears so loud you stank face as if you just found out that yes, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch is an actual place whilst licking whipped cream off a raw chicken breast!

Dada Life does Kaskade

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Wed, 26 May 2010 16:32:00 +0000

F- Yeah... Here is a brand new track from Dada Life, aka Olle Corneer and Stefan Engblom. If you have never heard of Dada Life, I am very excited for this new chapter in your life.

I had heard this remix of Kaskade's song "Dynasty" a few weeks back as a preview on some podcast somewhere, but after hearing it for the first time I never found it again and spent a good amount of time looking for it. Well, lo and behold it was released yesterday, and the little dance monster in me jumped with joy. Their version adds some Dirty-n-Drops to the original and will be responsible for a few rolled ankles.

The Flood (Jackwob Remix)

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Tue, 25 May 2010 15:46:00 +0000

Its always a pleasure when a new Jakwob track comes our way. Everyday we see more and more Dubstep crossing with pop and appealing to a larger audience and Jakwob is partly responsible for the emergence of this popularity with the poignant wobble & thump that he dishes out. The contrast of the elements in his his remixes always seem to amaze me, leaving me saying "who would have thought these vocals would go so well with this dirtiness!?"

Katie Melua's "The Flood" from her album The House is an amazing song, and is definitely an original that you must check out, but it will make you fall asleep if you listen to it for too long. Be sure to thank Jakwob for putting a heartbeat into this one... and we are still waiting for a debut original album from the prince of Dubstep.

DarkSky At Night

noreply@blogger.com (4lexander) — Fri, 21 May 2010 15:31:00 +0000

I was recently partying at Mezzanine in San Francisco which is one of my favourite night spots in the city. It was the 'Hard' debut featuring Major Lazer, Rusko and Miike Snow. Each act dropped heavy sets and had people, myself included, dancing like the wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man.

It was one of the interlude DJ's that had me like 'WHAT! NO WAY! This is so SIIIICK!' which I must have repeated like a madman for the whole song! The guy took me back to my high school years of the late 90's and memories of UK garage on the boombox, I did not expect to hear this genre in the U.S.A, which made it even better! The XX are already one of my favourite new bands to emerge in the last year. 'Crystalised' is a great track but it's had a makeover by Darksky and it is class. I had to do some research but after a few minutes I have found the track that made a memorable night more so. The joy of having google and youtube!

Darksky is/are from London and it seems he/she/they are a Garage/DnB/Dubstep act that is all I know, but something tells me I am going to enjoy finding out more.

This track killed it at the Miami Winter Music Conference, it didn't have a name at the time but the masses went wild!

photo: Rukes.comEveryone's favorite Canadian Electro rodent, Joel Zimmermann aka Deadmau5, is back at it again with a new track to tickle your taste-buds for his new upcoming album. "Some Chords" does not deviate far from the Deadmau5 sounds we have all grown to love, but still seems to have a fresh new twist. If you have seen one of his shows before, Im sure you could easily place this track at the top of his set... and when the breakdown hits about 1:30 into the song, imagine a see of loyal jumping mice.

Deadmau5 is currently on tour in the UK with his [reported] $700,000 light show that he unveiled at Coachella. Mind-blowing visuals!!! Definitely a must see next time he is around, which for all you So-Cal kids is June 13, at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. Ill see you there.

Have your Boarding Card and Passport ready!

Many current dance floors are heavily stocked with smoke, squeaks, bleeps and pure filth. Aeroplane, as their name suggests, elevate the listener from the ear drum popping heavy electro aloft to a cosmic musical space. In-flight entertainment includes psychedelic guitars, pop keys, disco beats, catchy bass lines and melancholic waves.

I first came across Aeroplane on a recent Mixmag CD hailing the return of Mylo, who has been off the radar for some time now, look out for his return, it should be epic! One of the selections on Mylo's mix is a lush remix by the Belgian duo of Lindstrom & Christabelle's Baby Cant Stop which actually dissolves your inner ear.

Congratulations to Aeroplane who recorded BBC Radio 1's 500th Essential Mix at the weekend! You can listen to this and follow their monthly mixes on SoundCloud. Their debut album 'We Can't Fly' is in the pipelin

YEAHHH! New Pance Party Remix!

noreply@blogger.com (Bijan) — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:14:00 +0000

Well well ladies + gents... Its always a treat when the boys over at Pance Party send over a new track, and their new remix of Somethingalamode's 5am is a headphone + club killer! Im fucking dancing in my chair!

Pance Party has been dishing out bangers one after another. Their last EP, Kim Jong Thrill, garabbed some serious attention on the Electro House charts rising up to the Top-4 on Beatport. Included among the many perked ears and raised eyebrows, was Mr. Benni Benassi, who asked Pance Party to remix his new single "Spaceship" featuring Kelis and APL from the Black Eyed Peas. Oh boy... My mouth is watering in anticipation! It should be a monster. Look for that to be released soon on a compilation through Benassi's label. Stay tuned for more info on that, but they are not done yet... Also stay tuned for their next

Question: why do some of the best Electro/House remixes are often from artists that we rarely hear of, often becoming hotter than the original track itself?
Answer: Producers like Pance Party. They can take a song we would often brush off because it is just missing that certain 'jeuje' and fill in the blanks with delicious n' dirty sounds that make our heads bob and our asses shake. Case in Point: this remix. Faster tempo & lyrics that dance with the original violin and carefully tuned synth that Pace Party does oh-so-well. Just listen already!

Japanese Electro: 80kidz

noreply@blogger.com (4lexander) — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 16:50:00 +0000

Having shared the stage with Justice and Boys Noize, Japanese DJ Trio 80Kidz are not just some randoms giving it a go. The threesome seem to have boarded the Bandwagon created by Daft Punk along with the Ed Banger crew and such'like.

Japanese Electro??? These guys may as well be french but whilst a lot of their material may slightly lack originality, 80kidz get it right! Their album released in 2009 entitled This is my Shit includes differing styles from 'Flying Buttress' which would fit easily on Justice's Cross album to more pop influenced tracks like She featuring Autokratz to the more mellow 'Arab.Hertz.Club'. The variation is what I really like.
