Feed Me and his little green goblin avatar have become ubiquitous among dance music fans over the past few years thanks to his multi-genre, razor-sharp production style and keen sense of branding. Much like his mentor and label boss Deadmau5, Feed Me has put his music at the forefront of his image closely followed by a cute yet sinister cartoon identity. As the little green monster shows up on bills and social network profiles in place of the british human behind the music, Feed Me’s image builds from simply another great producer into the iconic status sought after by global brands and celebrities alike. As fascinating as this Daft Punk originated concept of anonymity is, it must be supported by great music if it is to succeed. Thankfully Feed Me also has this key aspect under his belt.
Feed Me’s third release is out now on Mau5trap Recordings and if you don’t have it yet you are missing out! In only 6 tracks he skillfully morphs his signature groaning, squeeling production style into nearly every club-slaying genre out there today while channeling a diverse array of sounds likely inspired by Knife Party, Skrillex and Deadmau5. On “Trapdoor” featuring pop punk singer Hadouken we get some heavy drumstep action, on “Relocation” he channels dreamy progressive sounds, “One Click Headshot” features an annoying Counterstrike sample but overcomes with the slamming moombacore beats that follow, “Embers ft. Lindsay” features a nice vocal electro style and “Trichitillomania” brings it home with slamming electro house flavors. All things considered this is a diverse and well rounded effort that is sure help elevate Feed Me’s status even faster to the upper echelon of producers in the world today.

One third of Senor Stereo, Gigamesh has a penchant for delivering quality remixes of popular songs. His latest release is a new take on Grouplove’s “Tongue Tied”.
Gigamesh manages to keep the heart of the original track beating through a meaty, percussive, kick drum right from the start. The synth textures swirl and wave overhead while paving the way for Grouplove’s incredibly catchy gang vocal lines to come in. Once the parts all work in harmony at about the thirty second mark the song really begins to come to life and hits you with a wave of sound so big that when the track is over the silence just feels awkward.
To me the guitars on “Tongue Tied” have always felt like they should be the background music at a water park, and the fun move-your-body feeling is only amplified by Gigamesh’s new grooves. This track is guaranteed to occupy your playlist for a while.
Gigamesh is hosting the track for free download on his soundcloud page.

Chris Lake’s Rising Music may be located in London, but this has obviously not stopped their ability to recognize upcoming talent overseas. Deth Hertz and No Body, two American acts based out of Los Angeles, are about to make their label debut with what it appears to be an already Deadmau5 supported track.
‘Ready 2 Fly’ takes you exactly where you want to go. A beautiful and mellow start with feather-like piano chords that lightly lift your ears well above the clouds, only to later let go at the mercy of an uncompromising drop with a drilling bassline that feels like its digging its way to China. Whether you want to fly, or rattle the dancefloor, calling this track a banger would be an understatement.
Ready 2 Fly will be released FEB 10th on Beatport. Listen to the preview below:

Containg big synths, hypnotizing gritty basslines and the vocal talent of producer/singer/wife Gita Lake, ‘Build Up’ is a complete masterpiece. It’s been unleashed today Feb 7th on Beatport with a tasty edit/remix from Australian EDM producer, and Music Ninja favorite, Tommy Trash.

2012 just may be the year of Gemini. This 21 year old dubstep producer from Leicester, UK is taking the EDM scene by storm with his ultra smooth yet hard hitting synth lines and elaborate melodic lines. He explores new territory with his futuristic production style on the single “Feel Me” below and there are undoubtedly more tracks in the works from this young artist.

Stars-in-the-making The Knocks have dropped ‘Midnight City’, their vibrant cover of the hit track by M83. Featuring Mandy Lee’s intense and poppy vocals, the NYC duo’s take on the song is pure dancefloor-filler. Guaranteed to put The Knocks on the map and make you throw some outrageous shapes, ‘Midnight City’ is magical electro at its best. Watch this space for more on their forthcoming EP, ‘Magic’.
Relax, mellow out and take it easy with Giraffage’s new remix of Labyrinth Ear’s “Humble Bones”. Giraffage, stage name for Charlie Yin, is a relatively new producer coming out of San Francisco. His self-described “dreampop” electronic tunes are the type of songs you listen to on a rainy day enjoying a glass of red wine–or perhaps some herbal remedies if that suits your fancy. If you’re looking for some chilling music, then look no further.

Sydney producer Lancelot (AKA Lance Gurisik) is gearing up to drop his debut EP, ‘We Can Dance’. It’s set to be immense, and judging by lead track ‘Spoken Word’, we think Lance will be hitting the bit time pretty soon. ‘Spoken Word’ features some of the most kick-ass funk we’ve heard in a while, and has got the insanely addictive rhythm of a club hit in the making. ‘We Can Dance’ is out on February 20.
