Coming off from her popular hit “212″, Harlem dance-rapper Azealia Banks just dropped her first track from her forthcoming mixtape Fantastic, proving that she is more than a one hit wonder. Produced by Hudson Mohawke and Nick Hook, this impressive attitude-filled hip/hop calypso-infused tune is another example as to why we love the music so far in 2012. Enjoy.

The kind of shenanigans that go in the Dance Music world can be short of hilarious. High Rankin‘ latest original shines a light into the attitude that many talented and hard working upcoming DJ’s encounter on a daily basis. It is 2012 and Moore’s law is in full effect, so much that Google already got a license to test their DRIVER FREE cars in the state of Nevada. With driver free automobiles roaming the roads, then of course there is DJ-Free software for mixing tracks automagitcally. Virtual Dj, and similar software, have created an age were anyone can be a mediocre “dj” as long as you know how to click. The Virtual DJ software is not what I have a problems with, on the contrary, it has served as a gateway into getting started for many people interested in djing. It only becomes a problem when it extends into live shows. Similarly to a singer using autotune to sound better, using Virtual Dj is much of the same providing a less authentic experience. “Fuck You Virtual DJ” calls those too lazy to learn the craft. No one should ever experience listening to a youtube rip on a +500 watts club speaker.

Summer is here, and more refreshing than ever. Josh Legg aka Gooldroom‘s latest single “Fifteen,” arpeggiating synths pulse like ocean waves around a thick bassline and relaxed percussion samples as lush melodies from Australian vocalist Chela narrate a romantic memory.
Progressive House juggernaut Deadmau5 released a smooth and technical tune last month called ‘Veldt’, featuring a very consistent and hypnotizing melodic bassline. Project 46, from Waterloo & Vancouver, Canada replaced the original consistency with a pounding, unforgiving bass and loaded energy filled big room synths. Project 46 Happy Technology Pancake remix of ‘Veldt’ is more of a thriller to drop in the middle of a set, while the original could be saved for later. Enjoy
NEW TEMPER TRAP!
On June 5, Glassnote/Columbia will release the second (and self-titled) full-length from Australian rock band the Temper Trap. Today we have a first peak of what is to be expected with the track titled “Trembling Hands”. The dramatic piano-laced intro alone is enough to get our attention but it is really the vocals of lead singer Dougy Mandagi that carry the song through. Listen below.
We not believe in teasing you, splitting up lists across posts and making you wait. We have one simple rule to bring you the best music possible. While compiling a list of a lot of dubstep tracks this year (and some from late last year) we noticed that the list was getting bigger and bigger. After long hours scouring the internet, here it is for your listening pleasure:
