“Crisp. Elegant. Percussive.”

The relationship between a person and electronic music is much like the relationship between two people… Three words can mean everything.With “Tears” Submerse has embodied the good vibes attributed to those words from beginning to end- and have been gaining quite a following because of it

The vocal sample pushes the song forward and makes it memorable, the organic tones fill out blank spaces, and the beat is vocal in its own right. Overall the track just feels good to listen to and is the perfect way to soundtrack a Monday morning.

Squelch & Clap’s 123MRK is an up-and-coming french electronic and dubstep artist who is known for his complex beats. His new single “Untroubled” is a perfect example of the style that has made him popular; with it’s broken rhythms, vocal samples, and synth leads it’s a crazy ride from start to finish.

Whenever I listen to electronic music I tend to do it when I’m driving, and “Untroubled” is perfect for that. The layering builds and builds, lead by vocal samples that sit on top of everything and imply melody to move the song. The broken rhythms that come in around the one minute mark really showcase the talent of 123MRK as a dub artist, dismantling the beat without disrupting its overall flow.

123MRK’s album “Refined Madness” is now availble here.

British starship captains Futurecop! are out with a brand new EP as they continue on their journey across the galaxy spreading delicately beautiful synth jams like a pop music Johnny Appleseed. The artwork that typically goes along with their releases might make the uninitiated unable to take them seriously, but it makes perfect sense once you dive in – each release acting as their own musical alternate universes.

Oh, haven’t you heard? Dominique Young Unique is one of the more promising acts to be making a name for herself this year, having dropped the Glamorous Touch mixtape earlier this year. The relentlessly energetic Tampa hip-hopper just dropped a new mixtape showing off a more matured sound and a certain power play to mainstream success. The Stupid Pretty Mixtape is still full of her signature aggressive dancey style, but with more sophisticated hooks and production.

“Gangster Whips” is one of the strongest on the tape. Dominique Young Unique may be happily walking the line of hip-hop and electronic dance, but apparently the way to her heart is a good old fashioned Coupe Deville.

The Australian music scene has been making its mark this year, with very strong album releases from both Gotye and Kimbra. Adding to the Australian musical awesome-fest is producer duo Hermitude, who’ve been pumping out sick hip hop jams and breaks since 2000. “Speak of the Devil” is one of their sickest tracks to date, almost what would happen if Black Kids (remember them?) had a little more hip hop flavor. Give this a listen and keep an eye out for more upcoming Australian gems.

Swedish electro rock nerds Teddybears recently released a new track to kick off a short US tour. Teddybears’ bread and butter has always been ridiculous (and at times entirely non-sensical) electronic feel-good rock, but this one may end up taking the cake. “No More Michael Jackson” is 4 minutes of uptempo drum and synth and completely devoid of Michael Jackson.

I’m sure it was meant to be as irreverent as it seems, considering Teddybears’ trademark style and penchant for tongue-in-cheek humor. And, well… the overall Swedishness of the whole thing. No more Michael Jackson, but lots more Teddybears.

Maybe I just don’t have my priorities straight or my electro fiendiness has clouded my common sense, but this track for me is the essence of the Summer of Love. Grab your girl, swing her onto your shoulders, and get ready to bounce to the tropical electronic grinds of this twisted little bender. A remix of Swedish House Mafia‘s track “One” Congorock has masterminded this juicy bit with stellar, Cumbia-inspired deep percussion and choral synths – that form the building blocks for the overall construction of the track’s massive reverberating soundscape; which are characteristic of Congorock’s sonic drives. Coupled with his bass-laden, reggaeton-in-da-club track “Babylon” released just this past March, Congorock has taken the dance tech soundwaves by tropical storm.
