Kap Slap - Spring Break Mix 2013

Las year American mashup artist and producer Kap Slap put out a Spring Break Mix that was literally on repeat all throughout spring break season AND summer. Whether I was in the gym, playing beer pong by the pool, or making my way out to the beach this mix was the background soundtrack. The recent college grad put out a new mix just in time for 2013's festivities. If this is becoming somewhat of a tradition, be sure to save me a seat at the dinner table. Enjoy this 60 minute mix that is guaranteed to bring your sun bearing adventures to the next level.

AlunaGeorge - Attracting Flies



Speak of the devil! I had the opportunity to catch the debut of "Attracting Flies" by AlunaGeorge earlier on BBC - Radio 1.  With so much positive hype over the London based duo, the last thing they will ever be attracting is flies. AlunaGeorge manage to keep an electronic poppy sound while focusing on the beautifully hypnotizing voice of Aluna Francis. This track will be featured on their debut LP Body Music (out July 1) and will include the smash hits "Your Drums, Your Love" & "You Know You Like It."

News: Daft Punk causes internet buzz


Daft Punk changed their Facebook picture this morning. This is huge. You have to take in consideration that the French duo haven't updated their Facebook profile since March of 2012. They also included a link to their new website, www.daftpunk.com, which almost immediately crashed due to the heavy amount of traffic to the site. These two aren't exactly big on words (they're always wearing space helmets), so you have to try and interpret meaning from their actions. With that said, this could only possibly mean a new album release through their new partnership with Columbia Records. Right? At this point, we can only hope and keep an eye on their next moves.

MNEK - White Noise (Disclosure & AlunaGeorge Cover)


I already couldn't get enough of the original, but MNEK goes in on his version of "White Noise" by Disclosure & Alunageorge. The British 18 year old slows down the beat, adds some heavy synths, and marinates it with his own extremely soulful vocals. The man can do it all. Not to mention that he has a gnarly flat top.

Wolfgang Gartner - Anaconda (Preview)



Wolfgang Gartner released a preview for his new track via SoundCloud today. To no surprise, he absolutely kills it with some signature alarm sounds and catchy deep house chords. Be on the lookout for the full length dance floor anthem this Spring Break.

Kaskade & Swanky Tunes Ft. Lights - No One Knows Who We Are

I have to be honest and say that I wasn't a fan of this track when I first gave it a listen. It didn't sound like something that would come from the mind of Kaskade. But Mr. Fire & Ice is not a Grammy Award winning producer for no reason. With some help from trio Swanky Tunes and vocals from the beautiful Lights, this will be just one of the many tracks that will be featured on his new album coming out this year.

Hardwell - Cobra (Luke & Skywalker Festival Trap Remix)


Trap. You either love it or hate it. Thanks to Baauer's "Harlem Shake," Trap music has gained commercial attention worldwide. What I personally love about it is that there's always that one sick trap remix to your favorite House/Electro song. For Hardwell's "Cobra," this remix is exactly that. Props to Luke & Skywalker.

Hot Chip - Look At Where We Are (Major Lazer Extended Remix)

Major Lazer releasing some new heat. Vibe out to this remixed Hot Chip track.
