A short week, what with the Family Day holiday on Monday, but I’ve still managed to load up a supply of raging tunes to rock you all through the weekend. We’ve got new cuts from some lesser-known names that you’ll want to clear some memory space for, plus a brand new remix from New York’s own Nico Jaar that is up to his usual high standards. Plus new joints from A-Trak, Guxxi Vump and Conspirator. A serious supply of 128 bpm, so let’s get right into it.

Seems right now like some of the most innovative sounds are coming out of … Hungary? Tits & Clits put this country on the map for me, but it’s We Plants Are Happy Plants that have me booking my flight to Budapest. This track may not get people in the club raging like lunatics — but it’s definitely one for those early morning sessions when you feel the need to zone out and vibe.

We Plants Are Happy Plants – Rise And Fall: LISTEN TO IT HERE

Nico Jaar has the rare ability to make each of his songs sound completely different from the others. That’s creativity in a nutshell. Another slower track for you to vibe to — and like the previous offering, it’s a top-quality production.

Shlohmo – Rained The Whole Time (Nicolas Jaar Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE

This is just right. A-Trak takes a man who’s “Big in Japan” and flips him on his head. Fly and funky …

Martin Solveig – The Night Out (A-Trak Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE

Brand new Killabits. ‘Nuff said …

The Killabits – Motown 2000 (Ft. Riggadale): LISTEN TO IT HERE

Brodinski is as streaky as Phil Kessel. For long stretches you don’t hear from him — then he turns around and pots five joints in a week. He’s definitely feeling the heat right now.

Yuksek – Off The Wall (Brodinski Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE

Speaking of which, this track goes just as hard. Wait a good 1:30 for the drop.

Lana Del Rey – Born to Die (Guxxi Vump Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE

Moombah madness. Let’s take one of the biggest hip-hop tracks of our era, and throw that 110 bpm we moombahton fans just can’t get enough of. Sounds wick-it!

Dr. Dre – Still California (Wick-it Moombahton Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE

Nothing better than a pop song gone EDM. Laidback Luke seems to do these best.

Madonna – Give Me All Your Love (Laidback Luke Remix) (Snippet): LISTEN TO IT HERE

The best thing about music nowadays: everyone is doing it. OK, sometimes that’s actually a bad thing. But in the case of Dimension5 it’s a magical thing. Try it on — bet it’ll fit perfectly!

Dimension5 – Blasted (Original Mix): LISTEN TO IT HERE

VISUAL SWEETS 

Rusko is doing an album with Cypress Hill. At first I thought there was no way they would blend well. I am and continue to be wrong. Perfecto! Expect to hear this a lot.

That’s it homies … keep it locked and bookmarked, ’cause the sweet is never as sweet without sour………..xx

It’s Friday! TGIF! This weekend feels like one made for the inner socialite in all of us. Since the single people of the world had to endure the shame of being alone on Valentine’s Day, you can expect the clubs to be packed with people redoubling their search for Mr. or Ms. Right. And if that’s true, then the DJs best come correct with tunes to help you bolster the courage. On the other hand, if you’d prefere to keep it low-key with a house party or a small gathering, we’ve got you completely covered with this week’s best tracks. Have at it!

No hesitation about jumping into the warm waters with this one. Bingo Players have a banger with help from Heather Bright.

Bingo Players featuring Heather Bright – Don’t Blame The Party (Mode) (Adria Vila Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE

From here on in let it be known: any new Kill The Noise release will immediately be posted. That is all.

Nero – Must Be The Feeling (Kill The Noise Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE

I am definitely not one to highlight an artist in the aftermath of his or her death. That has to be said. However, I am one to highlight anything that features Chromeo. Whitney had what may have been one of the best voices in the history of time — so we can hope that, among the truckload of remixes that will be doubtless appear over the coming weeks, we get more gems like this.

The Hood Internet – When The Night Knows (Whitney Houston x Chromeo): LISTEN TO IT HERE

When I chatted with Chris Lake last year, all he could talk about was Tommy Trash. Tommy this and Tommy that … apparently he knew something the rest of us didn’t, cuz Tommy is killing it right now.

PNAU – Unite Us (Tommy Trash Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE

A little R&B twist on this one. Nothing says Valentine’s Day like a good break-up song. This beat is good — almost too good. Don’t go too far to the dark side, Diplo!

Diplo – Climax: LISTEN TO IT HERE

Enough of that soft and slow s**t — let’s get into the nitty-gritty. If you hear this song at the venue tonight, grab him / or her / or both and get to it. Your choice.

Dilemn – Always Continue: LISTEN TO IT HERE

Why is it that Paris always seems to be two steps ahead of everything else happening in EDM? Who knows? But if you can’t beat em, join ‘em

The Mekanism – Can’t Believe (Mario Basanov remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE

Last, our favourite dinos …

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Tapes & Money [SoundCloud Edit]: LISTEN TO IT HERE

VISUAL SWEETS

AC Slater is Mr. Bass, and Mr. Bass is a joker. Here’s a little clip about his preparations for a tour Down Under, for all you kangaroos.

Sometimes proper remixes need proper visuals — as for example, Gingy & Bordello‘s reworking of ZZT‘s “Work.”

I love my job! Have a good weekend, you maniacs………..xx

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!

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!
