Just finished a quick edit of Skrillex’s dubstep anthem, Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites. Its got an extended intro with a few added sounds and is super easy to mix. It also cuts between the OG and what I think is the best and maybe hardest remix of the track, the Dirtyphonics remix. It has a surprise breakdown in the middle where the double-time beat drops. Enjoy and mix well.

Hottest thing this summer, again. Take a gander at this remix that sounds like an evolved form of last year’s big room dancehall sound from the duo. Incredible moombahton vibe from this one.

It seems like DJs these days just keep getting younger and younger… (I wanted to punch myself when I found out that Afrojack is only 23). Also, Dolly Parton songs are creeping their way into more and more bootlegs these days. Just heard this track from 16 year old producer Dali Patrón from a small town in Estonia. Its called ‘Never Love Again’ and samples the song Dolly Parton’s Jolene.
Check it out, and keep an eye out this dude.

Hype y’all, get it started. The current golden boy of techno, Gesaffelstein, is remixing a track originally done as a joint effort between the current king of techno, Boys Noize, and the current prince, Erol Alkan. That’s right y’all, Lemonade (Gesaffelstein Remix). Feast your eyes and ears on Erol playing it.
Now, as with any track featuring such names on the bill, this tune’s getting mad buzz. Lots of different opinions on this one though, and I gotta say I like that producers are starting to go out on a limb focusing on what they wanna hear rather than what the masses wanna hear.
Skrillex aka Sonny Moore, former frontman for hardcore band From First To Last is coming out with a followup to his enormously popular 2010 breakout release Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites with another EP entitled More Monsters & Sprites.

2. Ruffneck (Flex)
3. Ruffneck (FULL Flex)
4. Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Dirtyphonics Remix)
5. Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Phonat Remix)

Out on Beartport June 7, iTunes June 21.
San Francisco based producer Claude VonStroke has seen fit to remix Girl Unit‘s breakout track, Wut. Much love for the original, but some didn’t take too well to the strong hip hop influence, so Claude’s done a little bit of a housier take on this for us. Personally, I think it’s dope.
Out July 27th on a VonStroke remix compilation on his own Dirtybird Records.
Dim Mak‘s prodigy boy Felix Cartal is releasing a new joint EP with Keatch entitled Animals. After their very successful Solar/Lunar EP a few months back, this release is looking incredibly strong. Lazy Bird is very much the classic distorted-electro-banger and pulls it off well whereas Fish acts as the perfect B-side with a more interesting take on the same theme.
Peep both below. As previously mentioned, Lazy Bird is a bomb, but my personal favorite is Fish, which is absolutely great.

Out “soon” on Dim Mak and Keatchen Records.
Diplo is probably the motherfucker you wanna hear least about right now. He’s been ballin out since the early millenium and hasn’t stopped. Famous as fuck for the Major Lazer collab with Switch (of which a new LP is due very very soon), our boy Wesley Pentz has a new EP coming out for himself on his own Mad Decent label.
Track is in collaboration with fellow Mad Decent contract artist Hugo Douster. Planetary tribal techno beats with no shortage of bass, this tune is a slammer.
Pretty signature Diplo video, and a very hot track. Out for free download this Monday, stay tuned to @diplo & @hugodouster on twitter for the free steeze.

Our awesome friends at Pistil Films shot this video for us during our last Homegrown warehouse party in Charleston. It definitely captures the Electric Friends vibe, and for those who don’t know, shows how we like to get down. Watch it and check out the rest of Pistil Films cool vids at on their Vimeo page.
It doesn’t matter if you thought it could. It doesn’t matter if you thought it SHOULD. Moombahton is officially going to be a household name now that Diplo is putting out Blow Your Head Vol. 2 Dave Nada Presents Moombahton.
Spoiler Alert: this awesome track didn’t make it!
