Hot talent Santigold is back to whet your appetites with another single from her forthcoming record, ‘Master Of My Make-Believe’ (out May 1). ‘Disparate Youth’ is a gloriously energetic track with some powerful beats and vocals from Santi, creating a musical world to lose yourself in. The ‘Disparate Youth’ EP is out now on iTunes, featuring some cracking remixes from Switch, The 2 Bears, and Amateur Best.
We know New Jersey producer Aylen very well from the massive amount of filthy electro tracks he has been putting out. Early this year we featured ‘The Remixtape‘, containing banging remixes of “Alesso – Raise Your Head”, “Edward Maya Ft Vika – Stereo Love” and “Coldplay – The Scientist”. In a surprising turn of events Aylen went from hardcore electro, to hardcore moombahton, a progression not many can afford to. The uplifting original ‘Infinity’ by Texas producer Distantt has been completely hijacked by Aylen into a much aggressive mash of grinding dubstep at the 110-moombahton-bpm. The result is a floor-friendly gritty dance track for those wanting more out of their Moombahton nights. With whatever style Aylen has experimented with, he seems to be pulling it over every single time. You can follow him on his soundcloud here.
Distantt – Infinity (Aylen Remix) is part of a Moombahton Mixtape The 110BPM Collection, Vol. 1 by 110bpm.wordpress.com

The artists known as Rhye are doing their level best to keep their identities secret, which is certainly an incredibly difficult task with today’s Big Brother-esque levels of exposure. However, all this desire to find out who they are melts away upon when hearing their transcendent debut track ‘Open’. With sensual vocals and soft instrumentals, ‘Open’ (and its somewhat NSFW video) will sweep you away. Watch this space for more from the intriguing Rhye.
Absofacto brings us another astonishing track, this time featuring genuine pop friendly vocals paired with his unique style and electronic instrumentation. He describes the song as ‘The private thoughts of someone climbing an infinitely long ladder’, and the haunting synthesized melodies provide just that, an infinite and dreamy musical loop for the mind to wonder and get lost in. “On a Ladder Leading Nowhere” is Absofacto’s latest release and perhaps one of our favorite songs so far. You can buy the track ‘name your own’ price on his bandcamp.

Thriftworks, a.k.a. Berkley’s Jake Atlas, has recently released an album titled Rain Maker to meet the demands of purists all around. The kicks are saturated with reverb, the songs are unique and experiment just enough to stay interesting. “Tlālōc” almost feels Indian in melody and texture, which is a neat change of pace for the electronic music scene, and the beat makes you want to move- if only to bob your head.
While his first few releases began to earn Thriftworks a name in the scene, I think Rain Maker is exactly the album he needed to earn his place and prove his versatility.

Supernatural Canadian duo Crystal Castles recently dropped the video promo for ‘Suffocation’, a highlight from their sophomore record, ‘II’. Their old friends HEALTH remixed ‘Crimewave’ a few years ago, and now they’re back with their powerful reworking of ‘Suffocation’. Featuring Alice Glass’ haunting vocals and heavy-duty industrial synths, this track could become an unlikely dancefloor hit, taking Crystal Castles to the big time.
