To us fellow electronic lovers, Tiësto is to us as Jesus is to Christians. God. Since he hasn't released an album since Kaleidoscope in 2009, I was extremely excited to hear that he was releasing a his first installment in his new mix compilation series called Club Life.

dubstep.

Ever since I heard Jakwob's remix of under the sheets by Ellie Goulding, I got sucked into the world of dubstep. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but with the variety of sub genres (chillstep, drumstep, thugstep etc), there really is something for everyone. With that being said, I plan on sporadically posting my top picks and updating you with what's hot on the dubstep scene. I hope to get more people introduced to this genre and fall in love with it as quickly as I did!


Every die hard dubstep lover has this song. So before you start looking for songs it's a MUST to take a listen to this. Bass Cannon really gives you a feel for dubstep and what it's all about.




Flux Pavilion - Bass Cannon by Neotixx

If you want to know what's hot on the dubstep scene, I suggest you look for anything done by Skrillex, Rusko, Skream, Nero or Bassnectar, just to name a few. Below are a couple of my favorite songs from some of these artists.




La Roux - In For The Kill (Skrillex Remix) by AlexPoulos



Hold On ft. Amber Coffman (Sub Focus Remix) by Rusko


Just so you know, this video knocked my socks off.


I hope you appreciate and enjoy these songs as much as I do! What do you think? Do you wub wub wub dubstep?

what a high.

Nothing puts me in a better mood than music (unless it's cupcakes)! As I was searching for new songs to add to my ever growing collection, I realized the songs that I were drawn to had a commonality among them. They all had great beats and amazing female vocals!

Laura Jansen – Use Somebody (Armin van Buuren Rework) by ickicka

I'm a HUGE fan of Armin van Buuren. After hearing Laura Jansen's beautiful voice sing Use Somebody by Kings of Leon, I was blown away! Not only are the vocals angelic and dreamy, but Armin manages to make the song even better by adding the perfect beat to make this a dance song, yet the focus is clearly on Laura. Word on the street is that this was a big hit at Ultra.

Rimer London - Love Dagger - Magnetron Music by Low Life Inc

When I first saw Rimer London, I automatically thought mascara but quickly caught my mistake. Amsterdam native, Rimer, is a producer and artist that is known for his melodic tunes with an emphasis on house and electronic music. After sampling some of his singles, it was refreshing to hear a song with vocals. Cata Pirata's vocals left me in a hypnotic trance with catchy sing along lyrics, despite the repetiveness.



Medina, although the name might not ring a bell, is by no means a nobody. As the biggest female artist in 2010, Medina rules the Danish music scene. Welcome to Medina, is her latest cd containing electro pop tunes that have quickly skyrocketed up the dance charts. Although she is primarily popular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, there are rumors that her tour may expand to other locations, such as the US!


What do you think of these songs? Do you love the beats? vocals? I can't stop playing these songs on repeat! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do =)

the dirty tees.

I'm always on the prowl looking for new music. Whether it's house, pop, trance, dubstep etc. Today I came across a very talented (and young) duo from Toronto. Ryan Freeman and Grant Peters have been collaborating together on remixes along with their own original music. Below is a video to better understand the minds behind The Dirty Tees. With their intense passion, unlimited inspiration and absolute dedication for music, I can only see great things coming from this pair. No doubt their future will be bright as the speed of light.

happy friday.

I figured I should probably write this post early seeing that it's going to be 72 today && I can't let that go to waste knowing that it's going to drop back down to the low 50's this week! I can't believe spring break is almost over. This week flew by at warp speed. With that being said, I figured I'd do something a little different this Friday. In honor of this gorgeous weather I wanted to highlight some of my favorite things (I'll most likely indulge in them all today =))

Food: With spring and summer on their way, I can't help but look forward to fun fruity drinks (with or without alcohol). One of my all time favorites has to be lemonade. It's so refreshing and super easy to make! It's great as is but when combined with other fruits (ie. raspberries), the combination is heavenly. Below are some recipes worth trying out for yourself!

• White Peach Lemonade
• Blueberry Mint Lemonade
• Raspberry Lemonade
• Passion Fruit Lemonade

Books: Since receiving a kindle for Christmas, I have become an avid reader and CANNOT wait to test it out this Summer while lounging out on the jersey shore beach! I don't tend to reread many books (unless they're my all time favs!) but I think I have to make an exception this time. Last year I got a hold of Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin and could not put it down! Recently a friend told me that the book has been turned into a movie and after seeing the trailer I can not wait to reread the book before the movie releases! If you haven't read the book I seriously suggest it, along with it's sister book Something Blue.

Music: As you know from my previous music posts I tend to favor songs that are remixed and this is no exception. I love love love Morgan Page and his remix of The Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition is so fun and upbeat! This is a definitely a song I would have blasting on my drive down the shore. Check it out along with his other songs.

pocket full of sunshine.

Well after the massive amount of rain we received the last couple of days, it was nice to see the sun come out to play! There's no better way to enjoy warm weather, at least for myself, than to drive around with the windows down and music blaring through the speakers. That being said, due to my lack of absence the last couple of days I have multiple songs to share with you!



Wet (David Guetta Remix Edit) by Fresh On Campus

I've been a fan of David Guetta ever since I heard "Love Is Gone", and he has yet to disappoint me since! When I saw that David Guetta posted a new song I was soo excited. Then I realized it was Snoop Dogg feat David Guetta and I was totally thrown off. When I think of Snoop Dogg I automatically think rap, not dance music, but after listening I have to admit that it totally works!



Kelly Rowland feat. Lil Wayne - Motivation (Diplo Remix) by We Are S.M.E Blog

When I saw Kelly Rowland, Lil Wayne AND Diplo's name all in one song I had to give it a go. After I heard Commander from Kelly's last album she quickly became one to watch out for when it comes to dance/club music! Anyone that is familiar with Tiesto (one of my all time favs!) should know Diplo from there collaboration on C'mon. And Lil Wayne...well need I say more? This is a song that has been slowly growing on me, especially Kelly's hook "And when we’re done, I don’t wanna feel my legs." Be sure to be on the look out for this song on Kelly's upcoming album this summer!



14. 4 Strings - Safe From Harm by Dj 3D

I don't know how familiar 4 Strings may be to everyone but this Trance duo has been on the dance scene for the last ten years with such hits as let it rain, turn it around and take me away. I figured after two high energy songs, it would be nice to end with a more mellow song (seems like the quintessential spring song to me!)


I hope everyone enjoy(ed)s there spring break && the music!

femme fatale.

We know her as the princess of pop, brit brit, or better known as Britney Spears. After almost two and a half years since her last album release (Circus), Brit's set to release Femme Fatale later this month (the 29th to be exact!). I could lie to you and say I'm not excited, but after hearing her first single Hold It Againt Me, in combination with the little samplings of what else she has to offer, all I can say is it's going to be a longgg 25 days. Until then I figured I can hold you over with the second single off the cd, Till The World Ends.

What do you think? Are you excited for Britney's comeback? Are the songs all you expected and more?

about to bl0w.

I've been in desperate need for new songs to jam out in my car. As usual the radio was blasting on my way to class, but to my surprise a song came on that I actually haven't heard before. I'm not a huge fan of KE$HA, but I have to admit that she has some really catchy songs. Of course I think every song sounds better when it's remixed. Let me know what you think.



Ke$ha Blow (Cirkut Remix) by drluke


Do you prefer the original, or are remixes always better?
