Well now we get a Avicii styled house anthem of their track ‘The Prize’.

The Knocks – Brightside ( TheFatRat Remix) : Hard Hitting Funky Electro House Remix

Today I’m excited to bring you a great remix to The Knocks most recent happy electronic dance single  ’The Brightside‘.

This mysterious German producer now based in L.A. creates an awesome Electro House remix with a hard but funky bass line that reminds me of Zedd. The song continues evolving adding a more poppy Madeon twist to it giving it a sound like I’ve never heard. I’m excited to see what else this talented producer comes out with in the next few months.

Avicii Vs. The Knocks – Dancing With Avicii (Captain Cuts Mashup) : Up Beat New Party Mashup

2011, in the house world has been the summer of Avicii, with song ‘levels‘ being one of the most buzzed songs of the year. His set at Red Rocks during ‘Global Dance Festival‘ was one of the most epic sets of the summer for me. Since his official release of ‘Levels’ a few days ago the song has been getting a whole new run in the spotlight. Captain Cuts turns the massive single into a great party Mashup that uses playful acapellas by The Knocks. The Knocks are a very talented live Electronic duo out of New York City. I thought that along with having a great name, Captain Cuts Mashup is really on point. The Mashup flows nicely and is sure to keep any party going. Enjoy!

Chiddy Bang, the duo who brought you The Swelly Express, Opposite Of Adults and more, are back with their second mixtape Peanut Butter and Swelly. It’s a a real sick mixtape with a good bunch of chill hip hop tracks with samples from indie groups Matt and Kim and more. I’ve posted Heatwave ft.

Blackout (Xaphoon Jones Chill Dubstep Remix) – The Knocks: MUST HEAR

Chiddy Bang is making quite the name for themselves, (and playing the CU Welcomefest concert), and the producer behind the magic Xaphoon Jones makes almost as many songs solo as he does as he does with Chiddy. Today I’ve got a siiick remix of The Knocks songs ‘Blackout’. It’s got some real chill vocals that grow on you pretty fast, and then the dubstep influenced bass drops throughout are sooo sick and go perfect with the dubstep. You guys loved the dubstep remix he did of Big Sean, so i’m sure most of you guys will love this one. It’s more mild, and not really fully dubstep, just a dubstep sounding bassline. It’s not new at all, but Xaphoon doesn’t get enough credit for his producing work. Enough talking, bump this song, give it a full listen before judging, enjoy!
