Tomorrowland 2012 - Official Aftermovie

If you're like me, you probably have little to no tolerance for any Youtube video over 5 minutes long.  I hope you make an exception for this one.  For those of you don't know, Tomorrowland is the festival of all Festivals.  Imagine what you would get if Electric Zoo started dating Ultra, and then, to spice up their relationship, they called in their buddy EDC Las Vegas and had a giant threesome in Belgium, taking over the town of Schorre Boom.  To sum things up,  Tomorrowland is the ultimate, varsity raging experience, and it should be at the top of everyone's bucket-list.

Clique - Kanye, Big Sean, Jay Z

TALK ABOUT A POWER HOUSE LINE UP ON THIS SONG!  The beat it catchy, fresh, and it BUMPS.  Not to mention a few tight lines from the kings of hip hop themselves.  It seems Kanye and Jay have let Sean into their circle.... I'm curious to see where this friendship goes because if they keep making songs like this.....  I'll be a happy camper.

Static Revenger - Turn The World On [feat Dev] (Kezwik and Protohype Mix)

The original "Turn The World On" premiered on TSIS not so long ago, but the track was a little too 80's, electro-pop'ish for me to stomach.  That being said, my taste in EDM is a little heavy, so if you don't like a little kick with your party music, then don't listen to this.  Kezwik and Protohype start the mix out Poppy and light (the kind of Dubstep that girls love), but then right around the 1:40 mark, this song turns 180 degrees and rearranges your insides (I mean that in the most flattering of ways).  Go a few shots deep, sit down in front of the subwoofer, and you'll see what I mean.  Then get back up and rage your face off.

Sister Nancy vs. Lauryn Hill - Never Lost One (Wick-it Remix)

This song has swag.  That is all.

Ed Sheeran - The A Team (Koan Sound Remix)

This is very different from anything I've posted about before.  KOAN Sound is a UK producer who I've been giving a lot of love recently, and when I found this remix he did of  "The A Team," I knew it would be worth writing about.  This song is truly unique.  It has the kick-snare, half time beat of Dubstep, yet it maintains the sentimental, dreamlike quality that Ed Sheeran gives the original track.  That is what makes this remix the best I have heard of this song.  It's not a banger by any means, but the production is top notch, so I have to give it up to KOAN Sound for doing it again.  Give it a listen.  This guy is seriously talented.

Also, if you haven't heard the original song, it's definitely worth listening to.  The music video is one of my favorites.

Major Lazer - Get Free (Yellow Claw remix)

Major Lazer is arguably one of the first major Trap/Moomba/Jungle producers out there and anything they put out is worth a listen to me.  I realize I've kind of been on a Trap rampage lately but it's just so damn good!  If you've liked any of the past stuff I've posted by Flosstradamus, Major Lazer, Baauer, or CRNKN, then you'll like this.  If you didn't like any of that past stuff, buy a bigger sub-woofer.

Chris Brown - Bassline

Dubstep is trending HEAVILY in pop music these days and I'm loving it.  First it was Rihanna with her seductive jam, Red Lipstick, who caught my attention, and now it seems Chris Brown has decided to dabble in the genre.  In "Bassline" Chris raps over a track that sounds like it was produced by the original Bass Head, Bassnectar.  Listen with a solid pair of headphones or speakers and Chris promises that (at least) you "girls [will] like his bassline."  Rihanna likes his bassline.  Thats for sure.

Tiesto - Lethal Trap Industry (MeauxGreen remix)

Tiesto just got Trapified.  The Trance/House legend has been on the scene for a long time and it's refreshing to hear Tiesto in a new genre.  This song has all the signature Tiesto elements: Huge, echoey synths, epic builds, and spacial, open ambiance that makes you feel like you're either in a dream or in a giant arena at a music festival.  However, the bass line is very Trap oriented which makes this song like nothing I have ever heard.  I love it!  Make sure you listen to this with headphones or BIG speakers.

KOAN Sound - Look Who's Back

I really just wanted another chance to draw attention to KOAN Sound.  This guy is reinventing Funk music.  Simple as that.  Add a few fresh bars from UK rap duo Former Beggars and you get straight fire!
