Congorock - Ivory (+ Bloody Beetroots Remix)

Congorock with the long awaited Ivory is out today and together with the release comes another awaited great remix from The Bloody Beetroots! I have to say I prefer the later but that of course because I'm a big Beetroots fan!

FTampa Remix: A Real Banger

This is a real good Electro House banger remix from the Brazilian music producer Felipe Tampa, better known as FTampa. It was released yesterday on Braslive Records. I think he did a real good job to turn it into his own style.



Listen to the original track if you are interested in knowing the difference! Also it's a really good original.



If you like FTampa, please visit DirtyDirtyBeats for an interesting interview I recently read! The Brazilian is aiming high! :)

Kill The Noise with new multi track EP

I already expressed my love for Kill The Noise earlier on ElectroCloud. The young producer have been releasing remixes after remixes on his SoundCloud. All are truly pure quality. He is currently sharing the stage with another great producer, maybe the most succesful right now, Skrillex. It is also under his label he's been working lately. Kill The Noise is the Dubstep producer that always seem to succeed with whatever he releases.

Yesterday he released a pretty awaited & serious EP with 6 different originals. All the songs except one is instrumental with samples. The last one have vocals from Emily Hudson. The OWSLA released EP also contains 4 remixes of the tracks by very interesting DJ acts such as Dillion Francis, Alvin Risk, Brown & Gammon and maybe the hottest right now, KOAN Sound. Some of the tracks was already released or previewed before.

It is really my recommendation that you go buy this EP, because you won't become disappointed. Anyone who doubt that and wants to be sure about the quality could take a listen on a few of the great tracks included.

Here are the three steps you need to take before you buy the EP:

1. This is maybe the best dubstep track on the Kill Kill Kill EP: Deal With It. Listen to it!

2. Here's a preview of the remix same track by KOAN Sound!

3. One more before heading to the store. There is more than just dubstep on the EP. This is a great Electro House track called She Likes to Party.

Now who could say this EP isn't worth a good place in the music library! Kill Kill Kill truly kills the noise with a better one!

More Popeska Music Released Today

It's been a while since we saw something new from the unsigned Popeska. Well, "a while" in the Popeska world means at most a week or two. As I already mentioned about Popeska in previous blog posts, he is very productive.

This time he is remixing Labrinth and turns the track  into his own style with a little wobble here and there. I actually would like to call it a light version of dubstep more than just electro. Have a listen!

CAZZETTE remix of Spencer & Hill Released!

Big track remix by the Swedish duo Alexander Björklund & Sebastian Furrer... or CAZZETTE! It's one of the newer songs by Spencer & Hill and Nadia Ali - Believe It - that's been cazzettized. We already saw a preview of the track about a month ago. Today the song is officially released and we can enjoy the full length of the beauty!

Spencer & Hill feat. Nadia Ali - Believe It (CAZZETTE's Androids Sound Hot Remix):

These guys are ranked high in my book of candidates that will slowly conquer the world of electronic music. Have a visit to CAZZETTE's SoundCloud and Facebook for more incredible sounds!

Sak Noel - Paso (The Nini Anthem)

I remember when Sak Noel first came to my knowledge. It was this year in april and happened to be in a dressing room of a clothes store in Ronda, southern Spain. I immediately brougt my iPhone up from the pocket and ran SoundHound to find out what it was. First reaction afte I heard Loca People was probably: What the fuck? That expression of course happened to be one of the main themes of the song. Well, the song was a hit, and if you ask someone in my town today they will probably tell you how much they hate it. The radio stations raped us with the song all summer, so I guess we shouldn't blame Sak for that.

The Catalan DJ is now releasing another track. This one is called Paso (The Nini Anthem). The word "Nini" means the rebellious young & global generation, only interested in party, no job, no study, only party.

Sak Noel - Paso (The Nini Anthem)

Remember to go out and party tonight! Have a good one!

Hirshee & Sue Cho - Hold On To Love

The record company Big Fish Recordings is constantly putting out good material for electro and dubstep fans. Yesterday it was revealed that Hirshee is releasing a brand new dubstep track with some real high potential. The Canadian music producer is working together with a very under estimated vocal artist with the name Sue Cho. Her vocals is perfect for electronic music, and maybe that is why she isn't more recognized outside the genre. The EP that will include Hold On To Love is released together with another track, Bang This, that we also could hear listen to as a preview last week.

Official release date of the EP is set to be on Monday 21st November. Until that we can always listen to the two previews we have:

Tommy Trash Remix Timbaland

Lägg till bildtext

The Australia native Tommy Trash with his unique electro house sound have become bigger and bigger for every single release. On his Facebook we can read that his sight is "set for world domination". He is appearing in the same spot light as the more known DJ's, such as Tïesto, David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia. While this is happening, some of the biggest artists and producers are opening up their eyes for him. Just a month ago he released a remix of a Moby song (for instance). And as you all know, an official remix is always big, because it's approved by the artist or the record company (otherwise it's a bootleg).

Today Tommy Trash released a preview of his new project. This time he is working on a song made by one of the biggest producers in music today. Hip-hop / R&B producer Timbaland is going to release his new album Shock Values III in 2012. One of his new songs Pass At Me, which features Pitbull, is included on the album. It was already released as a single.

This is how Tommy Trash translated the song into his musical language!

New Unreleased Track by Skrillex

Who needs info about Skrillex? Everybody talks about him and I guess he is a little bit like Beatles was to kids back in the days. He made (or is making) a genre mainstream. He makes girls (and boys) cry and scream only because of appearing. Only difference between them must be that on live sets people used to scream "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" and now they are screamin "OMG" or "I want to kill everybody in the world". 

Sonny Moore (a.k.a Skrillex) isn't just anyone. He kicked of his carrear in 2004 as a singer / guitar player in the Post-Hardcore band From First To Last. This was at the age of 16. 2007 he had a solo project with main focus on electronic rock. 2008 he created electro / dubstep act Skrillex & was signed to mau5trap (Deadmau5 label). Not too many months ago he started his own production company called OWSLA, which already did several releases including artists like KOAN Sound and Porter Robinson.

Yesterday we could hear a 19 minute mix by Skrillex on BBC Radio I. The mix included a lot of Skrillex songs and remixes. Also included was a few of the new artists on OWSLA. The biggest surprise in the mix must have been the unreleased track Devils Nest that he did together with an artist he already featured in his productions this year, namely 12th Planet (see Needed Change).

This is what the previously unknown track Devils Nest sounds like:

Here is the already mentioned Skrillex mix from BBC Radio I where the song was included:

Zedd's First Dubstep Production Out Now

Just recieved new music from the German professional DJ Anton Zaslavski, or maybe most of you know him as Zedd. With tracks moving to the top spots for almost every release, there is no doubt that the new single will begin to appear on the EDM lists around the world.

It was just about 2 months ago that Shave It was released on Skrillex label OWSLA and loved by the big electro crowd. Remember the bear with the razorblade on the cover. About 5 songs on SoundCloud that Zedd released last 12 months have got over 100 000 plays. The DJ have done touring together with big names like Skrillex, Deadma5 & new kid Porter Robinson.

It's very nice to see that a DJ, this big, is releasing Scorpion Move for FREE on SoundCloud.

Zedd haven't done dubstep in his previous original productions. He did of course remix Skrillex not so long ago. In Scorpion Move you can clearly hear the influence of dubstep. Wonder if group pressure have something with this to do (now look at who he toured with). It's however very good, and Zedd should be proud of his release!

Zedd - Scorpion Move

EDIT. I should have visited his Facebook. It even reads there "my first dubstep song ever".

Set Me Free Remixes

While I'm at it with dubstep & electro remixes I could maybe also post something about another new release.

It's the relatively new single Set Me Free by Rabbit Killer, Farleon & Xangaii that will be out soon as a digital release together with a couple of other versions of the song. Except the Original there is remixes by dubstep artist Calvertron, electro house artists FTampa & Alex Kidd and drum & bass act Callum B. We can already listen to some previews of the tracks on SoundCloud.

Scroll down, play, listen and tell me what you think about the remixes. Which one is your favorite?

FREE LMFAO Remix by The Mavrik

I feel like there is a need to even up the last post with something little less mainstream. Yin and Yang must be restored you know.

So here's a remix of LMFAO - Sexy And I Know It. LMFAO is of course quite a mainstream artist nowadays, but the mix by The Mavrik is just killing the mainstreamness (if there is such a word). Some filthy dubstep, a few melodic chords and quality sound with samples / quotes from Top Gun and the Austin Powers movies can't be wrong. And, it's free!

There is not so much info about The Mavrik to be found. Though I happened to find his SoundCloud & Facebook after a little research!

Here is The Mavrik with Sexy And I Know It. I also included another remix of the song. You can use it to calm down after the first one!

A Mord BONUS is never wrong, right...? :)

Katy Perry New Single + Remixes

The singer-songwriter Katy Perry released a single on friday. From the very successful album Teenage Dream, it's again one of the songs, The One That Got Away, that will be taking over all our radio stations for a while. This music blog and its crowd doesn't however care so much about Pop. So what I'm gonna do now is fly away from the Perry story about Hot n' Cold Kissing California Teenage Dream Girls. I am going to land on a subject that is more accurate to this blog, namely remixes.

The release of the single contained a whole bunch of remixes by a total of three DJ's (7th Heaven, JRMX, Mixin Marc & Tony Svejda). In addition to this, we also saw 2 pretty famous DJ's (R3HAB & Disco Fries / Tommy Sunshine) releasing their version today. The later released tracks are my favorite remixes.

Released today:

Katy Perry - The One That Got Away (R3hab Remix)



Katy Perry - The One That Got Away (Tommie Sunshine & Disco Fries Club Mix)





From the single:

Katy Perry - The One That Got Away (7th Heaven Club Mix)*



Katy Perry - The One That Got Away (JRMX Club Mix)*



Katy Perry - The One That Got Away (Mixin Marc & Tony Svejda Peak Hour Club Mix)*



*There is also other mixes on the single from the same DJ's

Which one is your favorite remix?

Skream Finally Release Anticipate EP

Tracklist:


01. Skream - Anticipate (Original Mix)

02. Skream - Anticipate (Cassius Remix) 

 

03. Skream - Anticipate (Netsky Remix) 

Today we have a few big artists that both do their own music and have their own record company. I am mostly thinking of Deadmau5 and Skrillex now. Everything that these guys publish is of course of great interest to the fans of the Electro scene. Even people that listen to more mainstream stuff have started to listen to the genre mainly thanks to these guys. It will also continue to be interesting, as long as there is constantly quality releases made, like Skream's new single or EP (whatever you wanna call it) released on Skrillex's label OWSLA.

Some people already waited in half a year for this release. I don't have any clue why it has taken so long to release. Finally though, we have an official with the suiting name, Anticipate. Included on the single we have three tracks. The Original of course & two remixes by Netsky & Cassius.

Go to Beatport to buy the tracks!

NOISIA - Could This Be

For all the Drum & Bass fans out there, this is big news. The dutch trio Noisia teases us with Could This Be, that will hit the Beatport store 21st of November. Deadmau5 label Mau5trap is again behind the release and of course, as we know, it's always good with a Mau5 behind it.

This track is no exception!

Watson & Creek - Dangerous (Original Mix)

This day have been quite busy for me because of Fathers Day. But now I am finally home to post some interesting music for you all.

What I'm going to post today is really something. It's a German Electro House artist with a quite English name: Watson & Creek. A little bit of same story here as with Spencer & Hill, who also happen to be German. This quite anonymous artist however does more funky Electro House. It really sounds professional too, so I don't really understand why he only have around 100 likes on Facebook. To the funky beats we have some 90's Heavy Metal vocals that really suits this Electro act. So what else is there to say, just listen to the darn thing!

And I'll give you an advice before: Don't wake up your neighbours. There's a risk you'll want to turn up the volume on this one!

Watson & Creek - "DANGEROUS" (Original Mix) by Begemo Music

New F.O.O.L Preview

The interesting swedish Electro duo F.O.O.L (Fuck Our Ordinary Lives) collected 500 likes on Facebook yesterday before they released a preview of their new track Dark Side.

What we learn from the preview is that the song starts with some synths in the build up. Before dropping into an electro banger, we hear the Star Wars character Darth Vader's quote "You don't know the power of the dark side".

F.O.O.L have been very productive this year. I suggest a visit to their SoundCloud for more good Electro beats.


Now listen to F.O.O.L - Dark Side (preview):

Utku S. - Disco Fever (Original Remix)

Once again Utku S. is very productive, I posted another track by him just a few days ago, and now he released one more preview for us (posted just 30 minutes ago). This time it is Disco Fever that will be released on 14 November (this week). The song is very typical for Utku S. plus it has a taste of 80's disco (of course, why else would the name be Disco Fever)!

Utku S. - Disco Fever by Utku S.

Sway - Still Speeding (Kill The Noise Remix)

Dubstep genious Kill The Noise have really proved he can remix any genre to his own trademark sound. The last three months must have been hectic for the L.A. producer . He have released some really epic remixes of already good original songs. One of his tracks, and the first one I heard was Robyn - Be Mine featuring Rye Rye. I didn't even hesitate once to include it in one of my own monthly DJ mixes when it came out. After that, he released remixes of known bands and artists such as Five Finger Death Punch, Korn & Skrillex. He also did a great job on the tracks by the "newcomer DJs": Porter Robinson & KOAN. And just a few hours ago we could once more enjoy a new remix by the young producer.

This time it is the UK rap artist and producer Sway DaSafo's track Still Speeding that is being remixed. Once again Kill The Noise performs his trademark dubstep style that I like. I have to say the drop reminds me of the Be Mine drop, but not too much though. Now just listen and enjoy.

Here's a full preview on Youtube.

Moguai Single Released on mau5trap

Hope you people are enjoying this blog. For those who visited before I can now tell you that I have a Facebook page & Twitter account for ElectroCloud!

Moguai is a German EDM producer & DJ, who's been active in the business already since 2002.

Last month we were blessed with an epic remix from Moguai on the Fatboy Slim song Push the Tempo. In my opinion also the best remix of that track by far. 

2 days ago we saw a new release with Moguai. This time it's the single Oxygen together with the australia born, german located singer Fiora. Again Moguai releases the single on mau5trap Label (Deadmau5's record label if the info happened to slip by someone). It's a nice song that really becomes better and better for every listen. On the single we have the Original Remix, Club Remix + my favorite on record: Jacob Plant Remix (a really great dubstep version).

If you didn't hear Moguai's version of Fatboy Slim - Push the Tempo. Then please press play under here:

Leechi Celebrates Birthday by Sharing

I happened to stumble upon some fun news. It's the South African dubstep music producer Leechi who decided to be kind on his birthday by sharing one of his tracks.

These are the words on Leechi's Facebook:

" [One of his tracks] 'Warning' for free download to celebrate legally being allowed to smoke & watch 16 rated movies! Woohoo :D "

First let's wish that he makes more great dubstep music like this in the future. Then wish him a happy birthday!

Listen to it before you download:

Leechi - Warning (Original Mix) by Leechi

Introducing: BRUK

Today I have decided to bring another element to my new electro blog. The idea is to introduce different hand picked artists for you every once in a little while. The artist that I am introducing to you should be one that I really appreciate for his/her/their work. 

First honourable artist to be introduced for you is a DJ-duo with the name BRUK. The duo consist of two highly appreciated DJs on the Electro House scene, Rocket Pimp (Mike Stonebank) & Chrizz Luvly. The later maybe the most known of the two. The name of the band is actually a mix of two country abbreviations BR (as in Brazil) & UK (of course United Kingdom). And why these great countries, you ask? Well it's easy isn't it. Chrizz Luvly is Brazilian and Rocket Pimp is English.

Hold Back is the first song I heard from BRUK and it caught me immediately. The vocals from Static is great and it's a real great club banger with a little wobble every once in a while! The release of this song was about a year ago.

BRUK FT STATIC - HOLD BACK (ORIGINAL MIX) by BRUK

As you noticed this was only a short preview but here's a link to Youtube for a full preview, and a link to Beatport where you can purchase it, together with more of their releases!

BRUK masters the art of balancing on the edge of mainstream & dirty Electro House, something that I think shows in the following track i'm gonna include. This is Keep Running together with Marie L who appears on several BRUK & Rocket Pimp tracks.

BRUK FT MARIE L - KEEP RUNNING (ORIGINAL MIX) by BRUK

Another great track that is among the best is Shine On. This is having a little more dirty sounds than the others. We also hear vocals from Marie L, which suits very well with this type of music.

BRUK FT MARIE L - SHINE ON (CLIP) by BRUK

I also like to present to you both halfs of the duo by including one each of their own tracks.

First, listen to Rocket Pimp:

ROCKET PIMP NI MASSIVE BANK DEMO by RocketPimp/MikeModulate

Then, listen to Chrizz Luvly:

CHRIZZ LUVLY - KEEP ME (ORIGINAL MIX) by Chrizz Luvly

Now we can only hope we will see more from these guys. Would be real fun if they could release something under BRUK soon, wouldn't it?

Remember to come back to ElectroCloud for more Introductions!

Afrojack - Lionheart (Original Remix)

New track from Afrojack that I totally missed. The young Dutch Electro House DJ always seem to impress.

Here's Lionheart:

Kaskade remixed by Le Castle Vania

One of the best tracks on Kaskade's new album Fire & Ice must be Turn It Down. It features vocals from the Swedish pop duo Rebecca & Fiona and is a song that will probably fill every club floor as soon as it drops! On the album the song was of course featured twice in 2 different versions (Fire version & Ice version) like every other track on the album. Kaskade's ICE version of Turn It Down could probably work well as a good night song halfway trough. But don't be fooled by the chill tones, because you will be attacked by some heavy dubstep drop in the middle.

Le Castle Vania has now been around for a while. The Atlanta DJ have performed together with acts such as Justice, Crystal Castles, Justice, MSTRKRFT & Simian Mobile Disco. His remix of Turn It Down is alot like the Original but instead of the Avicii-like drop we have Le Castle Vanias own Electro House kind of drop and I have to say, IT'S VERY GOOD!

Listen and enjoy!

Kaskade - Turn It Down (Le Castle Vania Remix) by Le Castle Vania

New Swedish House Mafia Track

I guess I don't need to tell you so much about the Swedish House Mafia. The group of Swedish super DJ's Axwell, Steve Angelo & Sebastian Ingrosso have been releasing hit song after hit song this year. Together with names such as Laidback Luke, Pharell Williams & Tinie Tempah they have hit mainstream success all around the world.

Just a few days ago a new hit song was leaked to the wonderful internet. The track features Taio Cruz vocals and WILL eventually become big. I haven't been able to find any other info about the track. Not even Swedish House Mafia have posted anything about official release dates. However, the track have been uploaded to Youtube by some hero, and nobody deleted it yet. 

This is Swedish House Mafia featuring Taio Cruz with I Don't Care!

New Album by Umek & Beltek

The Top 100 DJ Umek  along with his fellow Slovenian countryman Beltek already blessed us with the wonderful track: Army Of Two. That was now 3 years ago (roughly counted). Since then, the duo have co-operated on several tracks, and now they release Out of Play. It's a ten track full length album.

I won't disturb you with any quality analyze now. Right now I'm not even able to listen to the material myself (because school computers don't seem to like music at all). However, I can almost guarantee that this album is good without even having to listen to it. You can look from the bright side... You will be able to listen to this before me. I am SO jealous!

The official digital release is today 7th november
On iTunes you can download it 20th november.

Visit Umek or Beltek's homepages for more info!

The track Army Of Two that I was talking about earlier is worth a listen too!

New Electro EP's!

I am very proud to promote 2 new EP's published this week:

First We Have D&B / Dubstep / Electro act Rameses B with Revival EP:

Then, Electro act Zombies Go Low with their To the Future EP which is totally FREE (and legal) to download:

Dirty South ♥ Nero

The Serbian born Austalian DJ Dirty South already made it to my newly started blog earlier today. That was when I posted an article about Tits & Clits remix of his track Alive. However I forgot to mention that one of his unreleased remixes / bootlegs was leaked a few days ago. One of the reasons why I decided to make a special post about this is because I'm totally in love with Nero since their release of the debute album Welcome Reality. I couldn't just leave this unposted, although it's a few days old. 

The Original track was already recorded and released on Youtube in 2010. The official release date was 2nd January 2011. It debuted at 1st place on the UK indie chart  and was included on Welcome Reality which was released this year in august.

The remix of Me & You by Dirty South is among the best remixes.

Other remixes of the Nero masterpiece worth to be mentioned is:

Nero - Me and You (Steve Angello Remix)

Nero - Me and You (Danger Remix)

Nero - Me and You (Dirtyphonics Remix)

Which one is your favorite Remix?

New Modestep Release

I know that To The Stars has been around already for a while. Today however is the official release date and you will be able to buy the new track on iTunes. It already made it onto the BBC Radio 1 A-list.

Modestep really made a name for themselves after the release of the smash hit Sunlight. Their music video was seen by 1 million people after just 4 days on Youtube. That says something about their mainstream success. What really makes Modestep stand out from the rest of the Dubstep acts of today is the mainstream friendly vocals by Josh Friend.

To The Stars isn't much different from Sunlight. It starts quite calm and evolves into a big drop followed by some interesting dubstep. However we don't have any change of tempo in this track like we had in Sunlight, where the tempo suddenly changed into some kind of drumstep like final. Instead, in the ending of To The Stars we can enjoy an interesting Heavy Metalish guitar solo. I haven't seen these guys live, but I guess this song is a candidate for the "WE WANT MORE" part of the live performance.

The new song was of course remixed by a lot of different DJ's around the world. This one by Document One maybe recieved the most of the attention.
