Sweets of the Week – March 16

March 16th, 2012

Posted by Scott Willats

    

The eve of Miami Music Week, and you always knew these sweets were going to be something special — so sit back my friend, because it’s about to get a little hectic. Got some exclusive brand new cuts here from big names and no-names, major players and underground movers. This time of year you can’t help but smile. Suddenly it feels like springtime outside, and that calls for a toast. Coincidentally it’s also St. Paddy’s Day this weekend — which means, for those who can’t make the trip to sunny Florida, there are green beverages to take the pain away.

Enough chit chat. Let’s get in to it — with Tiësto remixing Canada’s own Autoerotique! This is incredibly huge: biggest, baddest Tiësto tune since “Strings.” Yeah, I said it!

Autoerotique – Bring That Beat Back (Tiësto Edit): LISTEN TO IT HERE


How many times can a song be remixed? At least one more, apparently. This take on Lana Del Rey‘s “Blue Jeans” has surpassed Kris Menace‘s mix as my fave. And wow — there is no label with more momentum than Bromance Records right now.

Lana del Rey – Blue Jeans (Gesaffelstein Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE


I digress…

Beni – Last Night (Brodinski Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE


Not to be outdone, Afrojack has created a monster of his own. This bumps!

Afrojack – Fatility (Original Mix): LISTEN TO IT HERE)


It isn’t the Sweets without some dubby-wubby … this one with an almost-d’n'b twist.

Adam F- When The Rain Is Gone (Subscape Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE


As cool as the other side of the pillow … Hype Jones goes a little AWOL.

Michael Jackson- Maria (Hype Jones LoveStep Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE


My favourite member of The Glitch Mob just dropped a big track for us, and it’s everything you expect from him — and more. Ooah, u done it again.

OOAH – Don’t Stop Now: LISTEN TO IT HERE


Iy-yi-yi … not gonna lie, I didn’t know much about Delta Heavy until about 27 hours ago, when this dropped. This is the kind of dubstep I love: not just smashing your face in, but doing it with a melodic touch. Enjoy!!!

Fixers – Iron Deer Dream (Delta Heavy Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE


Diplo just tweeted:

@diplo Big free tune for all sxsw and wmc DJ homies .. Rasclat riddim w @vatogonzalez bit.ly/rasclat #boof

Vato Gonzalez & Diplo – Rasclat Riddim: LISTEN TO IT HERE


VISUAL SWEETS

Diplo is everywhere this week. Check out the new visuals for “Express Yourself.”


Swedish House Mafia are superheros. Not gonna lie — this video is pretty dope.


This, of course, is only the tip of the iceberg — many more songs will be released throughout the week. Be sure to check in every day, as this is the first place all those new tracks will be posted……xx

Sweets of the Week – January 27

January 27th, 2012

Posted by Scott Willats

  

An endless supply of big tunes and bigger anthems this week — and to top it off, we have one of my top five dead or alive DJs giving us a sneak preview of his brand new single, which is, simply put: Bad. Ass. With this much quality and quantity there’s no point delaying. Every one of these tunes is download-worthy, so be sure to pick them up asap!

Lezzz Go!


SWEETS

This first release is available on Beatport. The vocals by Kelli Sae are reminiscent of Robin S, but with a modern touch. Cop this!

Jared Dietch feat. Kelli Sae – You’re Not Alone (Gregori Klosman Remix): BUY ON BEATPORT


Freshly pressed. Listen, I don’t know why it’s taken so long for a combination like this to happen. Rap and dubstep together for a whole album? Once this starts to take off the world as we know it will melt!

Cypress Hill & Rusko – Roll It, Light It: LISTEN TO IT HERE


If you knew about this song or about Hype Jones before this week, then kudos to you! I, however, have just discovered the artists who put together this immaculate dub version of the popular Enrique tune. The best way to do a remix is take a song completely out of its genre and make people love it who would otherwise hate it. Mission accomplished!

Enrique Iglesias feat Pitbull & The WAVS- I Like How It Feels (Hype Jones Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE


Love him or hate him this is Breezy’s world — we’re just living in it.

Chris Brown – Turn Up The Music (Prod. by The Underdogs): LISTEN TO IT HERE


Moooombah Madness. Ryde dat Vato!

Vato Gonzalez – The Moombahstard: LISTEN TO IT HERE


Big room! This track is a hassle to find — but when you do spot the full version, it’s worth the trouble

Quintino – We Gonna Rock (Original Mix) [Promo Clip]: LISTEN TO IT HERE


SUGAR-COATED-FULLY-LOADED SWEET OF THE WEEK

It’s no secret that I think Wolfgang Gartner is not from this planet. I have yet to hear a track from him that I don’t like. I have yet to see or hear of him having a bad set. Simply put, I love him. Everybody has a producer who hits the right spots in every possible way; for me (and for millions of others), Wolfgang Gartner is that dude. He dropped off a preview of his newest track last night and……um……hmmmm……..it’s f***ing perfect!

Wolfgang Gartner – There and Back (PREVIEW): LISTEN TO IT HERE


VISUAL SWEETNESS

Our boy Pretty Lights is back with a new video. Enjoy!


This is a seriousssssssss performance. Think about all the DJs he’s got behind him, and he’s ripping it without a care. The first track is The Hacker – Shockwave (Gesaffelstein Remix), and even as we speak I am searching every inch of the web for it! Huge!!!!


Enjoy the weekend, kiddos!
