It’s that epic time of the month again; The Swedish Bass Mafia, aka Dada Life, deliver their May 2012 Mix with the most hard-hitting tracks from EDM. Featuring some known hits, such as Tiesto + Swanky Tunes collaboration “Make Some Noise” and Dada’s own “Rolling Stone’s T-shirt”, and some lesser known gems, such as Ralvero’s “Rage” and the final track of the mix “Turn The World On (Angger Dimas Dub)” (whoop whoop!). For me the most pumped-up track would probably be Laidback Luke’s simple yet extremely uplifting “1234″, as every drop overpowers the previous (Also the transition to WG’s “Redline” is a nice touch). And, as always, Dada Life treats us with one of their upcoming previews, this time being their remix of Kaskade’s smooth“Llove”, transforming it into a rough and bassy dancefloor destroyer.

[Dubstep to Dance] Catching Up (May 2012 Edition)

Being away for a while really gave me some time to collect some amazing Treats ‘n Beats for you!

We’re starting off with Bassgator (we’ve already had him here with this badass tune). Bassgator’s main feature is obviously bass, which is always highlighted in all of his songs. The latest of his work has its unique twist, though: ‘From the Light to the Darkness’ is a gentler track, which sends out some mad swag vibes. It reminds me of a more mellow, yet equally funky, Major Lazer “Original Don”.  Out on Beatport!

Bassgator – From the Light to the Darkness

Next off we’ll have a look on Timo Juuti & Hector 87’s ‘Disco Wobblez’, which came out a while ago (almost 2 months!). The track gives off a really friendly feeling, and believe me – if you like house with a slight touch of electro, you will enjoy this. The track came out along with an entire EP, which consists of three originals plus three remixes. Check the EP out here if you have time, but your time is spent better listening to Disco Wobblez if you’re not into… erm… ‘electro-loungey’ music.

Alternative / Dance duo from Toronto, Canada, Ryan Freeman and Grant Peters get better with every song they release, whether it is a remix or original. The Dirty Tees are currently based in Los Angeles, California where they are focusing on completing their debut album. Here are some of the duo’s uplifting tracks. Feel free to download the tracks here, or help The Dirty Tees by buying them on Beatport.

[Prog. House] Marina and the Diamonds – Primadonna (Walden Remix)

Madeon has some competition as 18 year old child prodigy Walden from Australia shines brighter and brighter on the EDM radar after every one of his releases. His latest production, a guilty pleasure of mine, is a remix of Marina and the Diamonds’ “Primadonna”, turning it into an energetic house track that includes computerised vocals, catchy synths and a satisfying addition of a bassline after the drop. Walden’s remix is perfect for house parties, dance floors and radio duo to the track’s cleverly/professionally organised song structure. The young artist shows a lot of potential that I’m sure will not go unnoticed.

[Progre55ive] Deadmau5 ft. Chris James – The Veldt (Official)

After a very very long wait, Deadmau5 is finally back with a new finished single for everyone to enjoy – “The Veldt”.  He teamed up with Chris James, a fan of Deadmau5, to add vocals to an already amazing song.  The track has set the rest of the world on fire, especially New York, where during his preview of the song , Deadmau5 literally set fire to an air horn and almost blew himself up and some of the crowd in the process.

For a while, Deadmau5, a.k.a Joel Zimmerman, was looking for talent via twitter in order to create a fresh, new sound for EDM. Deadmau5’s website explains the rest of the story:

“Five weeks ago, whilst streaming on live.deadmau5.com, mau5 wrote an instrumental that would become “The Veldt”. Chris James, a fan, took the track, added his vocal and shared on soundcloud. Not long after, the horde discovered Chris’ upload and urged Joel to listen… Soon after, the two artists were speaking online and within days, deadmau5 featuring Chris James “The Veldt” was complete.”

After hearing the song, I think Deadmau5 is finally going back to his roots, as it definitely reminds me of his “Strobe/ RAT album” days. While “The Veldt” is surprisingly upbeat, it maintains a relaxed theme throughout, giving it a majestic feel.  The vocals complement the song perfectly, not only adding a spark of beauty, but also giving the song more meaning overall.

According to Deadmau5, this is only the beginning. Soon, he will begin his tour in Australia (June 22) and release  The Veldt EP, which contains this hit as well as his collaborations with Cypress Hill. This is only the first of a collection of EPs to be released this year, so Deadmau5 fans will have plenty of new music to listen to. The wait won’t be unbearable, as all signs point to Deadmau5 making a quick return to the EDM radar.

BONUS:

So, for everyone who can’t wait for new Deadmau5 music, like me, Deadmau5 released a few samples on his SoundCloud page to appease our appetite:

Deadmau5 – Fn Pig

The first bonus is “Fn Pig”. It was given to the horde through his soundcloud page to hear their thoughts. This has been Joel’s work-in-progress for a year now, originally named “Get in the Cart, Pig” and later mashed with another of Deadmau5′ tracks to creat “Get In the October Cart, Pig”. It has an extremely long introduction/build-up, but the breakdown is well worth the wait. It is just straight down dirty, giving you all the bass you will ever need. Even though it is unfinished, it is raw enough to earn EBT approval.

[DADA BASS] Dada Life – Rolling Stones T-Shirt (Original + Chuckie & Cazzette Remix + VIDEO)

Dada Life, yes that epic Swedish duo that have established a solid name in the world of Electro. ‘Rolling Stones T-Shirt’ is their latest release following from ‘Kick Out the Epic Motherfucker’ and we all know how well that went down. ’Rolling Stones T-Shirt’ has the familiar kicking basslines and a strong beat that is typical Dada. The build up long doesn’t let you down, because that drop, I must say, is stunning. It hits hard and comes right out of those speakers, with electronic synths pulsing throughout it. This track is great, funky and the bass makes your ears tingle.

Wait, is this Dutch House DJ Chuckie tackling ’Rolling Stones T-Shirt’? Now this you’ve got to listen to. The Dutch maestro takes his own unique take on the original; including distorted leads and synths and heading towards more bass. He works ’Rolling Stones T-Shirt’ round his unique dirty style, a well finished off remix that solidifies Chuckie’s name to this sort of sound.

Also, don’t miss out on Cazzette’s take on the single, providing you with their signature electro house sounds and, of course, the original names for their remixes. The Swedes never disappoint!
