[Pop Remixes] Karmin – Broken Hearted (R3hab Remix)

With a prolific amount of material in the blogosphere today, Dutch DJ and producer R3hab is rapidly becoming a household name. Through remixing a huge variety of artists ranging from Lady Gaga to Dada Life, R3hab consistently brings the big room electro sounds that dance floors crave. No wonder he was recently signed to fellow dutchman Afrojack‘s label Wall Recordings. In his latest effort R3hab takes on the Boston-based pop act Karmin and their new single “Broken Hearted”. This track really makes you want to get up and dance with its uplifting vocals, major chord progressions and dirty electro bass lines. If his consistent output is an indicator of the future, we will undoubtedly be hearing a great deal more from R3hab in 2012.

[New] Yellow Ostrich- The Shakedown

Yellow Ostrich‘s new album teaser, “The Shake Down”, premiered over at Rolling Stone yesterday to keep the hype up for the band’s forthcoming LP Strange Land. The track is a pulsing groove met with thick rock guitars that are inspired by the likes of Neil Young and big cymbal laden drum sounds to top the whole thing off. Singer/ Guitarist Alex Schaaf maintains the track is about “imaginary people” but it’s catchy enough that it really could be about the flu.

[Dubstep] Benga – I Will Never Change

London producer Benga is unquestionably one of the godfathers of dubstep. When he was only 15 years old he was already releasing singles on the first dubstep label, Big Apple and clubbing in his hometown of Croydon where the first dubstep night called Forward>> began. Along with his childhood friend, Skream, Benga has put dubstep on the map with a string of singles strait from the heart of the UK. At 24 he is a seasoned veteran of the scene with an Afro big enough to prove it. Look out for Benga on his European tour with Youngman this summer and give a listen to his wobbly, glassy, ravey new single “I will Never Change” off his upcoming album “Diary of an Afro Warrior”.

[Experimental] Thriftworks- Tlālōc + Free Download

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.
