Tocadisco – The Groove/The Clamp

German DJ/producer Tocadisco heads to Toolroom Records to release his power-packed double header of “The Groove” and “The Clamp.” A veteran of dance music in every sense, Tocadisco brings his trademark dance-savy sound to his next efforts, even darker than we remember from March’s “That Miami Track.” While remaining out of mainstream spotlight, Tocadisco continues to produce dance floor killers and please club-goers like he has done for over 15 years.

Passion Pit – Take A Walk

American electropop band Passion Pit emerged on to the scene with their 2009 release of their album, Manners.  The single “Sleepyhead” was sensational and drove them into mainstream popularity.  Despite only reaching #105 on the Billboard Hot 100, the track reached number 9 on Billboard’s Heatseaker Songs, a music chart devoted to “breaking and entering” tracks.

While the past three years have been appeared relatively quiet for the band, they have remained busy. In a 2010 interview with the New Music Express, Passion Pit lead vocalist Michael Angelakos admitted that they had begun work on a new album. Only recently though, has this new album received a title, Gossamer.

Passion Pit just released their first single off the upcoming album, titled Talk A Walk. I, among many others, eagerly checked out the track. My first impressions of the track are that (1) the unique falsetto of the lead vocalist Michael is gone and (2) there’s less of an electronic influence and so now the music just indie rather than electronica. I’m sure with these changes, they will lose many devoted fans, only to be replaced by a slew of new ones.


Datsik & Bare – King Kong [Video]

Bass monsters Datsik and Bare have come together to collaborate on this downright filthy track.  Bass Union is a new channel that is going to be home to a lot of new music videos for new bass music.  On the heals of the remix EP of King Kong, a new video for it.

The video shows two young guys having fun as one of them grabs a camera and the other dresses up in a gorilla suit parading through   LA on a path of destruction. It’s a guerilla shoot of a gorilla video.


The Knocks – Learn To Fly

Feel-good summer music is without a doubt some of my favorite music to listen to and The Knocks nailed it with their latest song, “Learn To Fly,” that they’re giving away for free on their Facebook. This tune will surely tide you over until our premiere of a Fred Falke x The Knocks collaboration coming next week, so listen above (in artwork), go like their Facebook, and download!


Killsonik – Girly / Bloodlust

Killsonik is on fire right now. After working hard to make his name over the past few years, there is no statement of accomplishment that can match signing to the prestigious MTA Records. While remaining one of the most exciting producers in the world of bass music, his newest project promises to be one of the most anticipated Dubstep releases this year.

‘Girly’is a beast of a track. It’s so deep and dirty with this crunchy organic texture I just cant get enough of. It’s one of those tracks you drop at 3am when you want to melt everyone’s face and remind them what a late-night EDM party is all about.


Break Science – Flocyde (Florence and the Machine & The Pharcyde)

Today I’ve got another great track fit for bringing in summer.. It features vocals from Florence and the Machine, and sampled beat from Pharcyde, all mashed and remixed together by Break Science with their added electronic flavor. The upbeat vibe filled with just enough bass is the perfect track to listen to at all times of the day. Having a live drummer and keyboardist just adds a different warmth to the track.  Break Science is the electronic group signed to Pretty Lights Music who dropped the free album The Monolith Code. Here’s a quote from the group about the track

“The melody is a key element that we like to infuse into our brand of electronic music. After hearing this song by Florence and the Machine, we felt the vocal line evokes an emotion which soars above the hard dance floor drums and future synths we eventually combined with it. We added a touch of the Pharcyde to give the listener another perspective on the tune and create a mashup of two very different yet familiar pieces of music. Hope y’all dig it!”

Turn up this track, and enjoy!

Le Youth – Dance With Me

Support Le Youth on Facebook | SoundCloud

Los Angeles native Le Youth makes his SL debut courtesy of an absolute tropical heater, his highly anticipated original work Dance With Me. If you were paying attention you would have noticed that we debuted the track in our April Mixtape not too long ago, and have been waiting the day to unveil the whole thing in downloadable form just for you. He’s also really impressed with his recent remixes of Goldroom and Moon Boots, and he might soon step into that top production tier soon enough. With summertime creeping around the corner the West Coast is really starting to raise the bar for these types of jams. It only makes sense right? The livin’s easy out here and the music reflects just that.


Beam Me Up – CAZZETTE

Believe it or not, I think Cazzette has actually managed to strike equilibrium with traditional (I use that term loosely) house music and dubstep. Personally, I think dubstep is the lovechild of rebellious 90s punk and electro. I’m not a fan of dub, and I never will be, but that does not mean its “bad” music or “distasteful”. It just harbors itself in a different place within EDM. However, Cazzette believes their track “Beam Me Up” may just be the answer, the bridge, and just right amount of each ingredient (not a mouthful of wobble) to close the gap between dub and house. I concur.


Deadmau5 – Fn Pig


Zombie Nation – Kernkraft 400 (SAVOY Bootleg)

The year was 1999. You were most likely in middle school, or maybe even high school. Artists such as Excision, Avicii, and Skrillex had not yet started producing and “EDM” wasn’t a household name. Even if you weren’t into electronic music and thought it was stupid “techno music”, there was inevitably one melody that you had heard, which is now famous world wide. German DJ and producer Zombie Nation had just dropped his full length album Leichenschmaus, never realizing what a classic and legendary track his single Kernkraft 400 would become.
