[Insanity] Deadmau5 – Some Chords (Dillon Francis Remix) (Wild Boyz! Refix)

Posted by Brooke Ferguson - January 20, 2015

Deadmau5
Some Chords (Dillon Francis Remix) (Wild Boyz! Refix)

At certain times throughout our lives we come across music that makes us want to go 100% bat shit crazy. You know, the kind of song that makes you feel like you need to fight cyborgs or battle laser-shooting unicorns in a field of galactic warfare. Today we have something that will undoubtedly force you out of the house and into the streets where you will want to run around screaming obscenities around town – naked.

Helping us channel our inner Hulk are San Francisco producers, Wild Boyz, and their aggressive new refix of Dillon Francis’ remix of Deadmau5‘ “Some Chords”. That’s quite the mouthful to take in, but that shouldn’t deter you from raging face to this festival anthem (that will definitely be in this weeks FPP). Filled with hard-hitting synth stabs, 808’s galore, and a HEAVY load of literal heat, Wild Boyz! straight up threw us into a vortex of total weirdness. Our ninja clan can’t stop raving about this one and we know you’ll want to drink liquid nitrogen after hearing this the first time through, so press play and get ready to get silly.

101

Do you ever feel like you just want to grab your car keys, an Arnold Palmer lemonade, and just drive to a destination-less place with all of your friends? We have those urges almost every single day, especially when we come across a song that reminds us of this euphoric, spontaneous sensation. Helping us get out of bed and out the door today is Los Angeles Indie-Pop band, Walla, and their Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious new original, “101”.

Considering we just used a Disney song to describe the essence of this song – we definitely mean business. “101” resonates something truly original, organic, and flat out FUN. With an upbeat bass line, a synth-filled progression, and a brilliantly written story to take us from point A to point B in a matter of just a few, exciting minutes, Walla gives us a feeling of reassurance, comfort, and adventure. “101” is the type of song that will lyrically speak to you and instrumentally inspire you to want to get out in to the world and let these Summery vibes embrace your soul. Walla’s latest track is the second song off their upcoming The Kids Are Alright EP which has yet to have a release date, so stay tuned for more from this extremely talented group of individuals.

Glorious (feat. Ruby Prophet)

If anyone knows me, then they know that i’m a sucker for GOOD Progressive House. There’s nothing more enjoyable than uplifting melodies, gut-wrenching lyrics that somehow manage to relate to your life, and a fun breakdown that will make you want to get up a dance your worries away. Most of us can agree that this particular genre is somewhat a guilty pleasure for the PLUR child that resides in each and every one of us. Just the other day, we stumbled upon an original Progressive House track by Synchronice and Kasum that undoubtedly made us feel all types of ways. Their latest work, “Glorious” is filled with cry-worthy builds, heightening drops, and Ruby Prophet’s stunning vocals that collectively lift the spirits of those around. “Glorious” is available for free download so grab yours while you can.

Ludacris – Stand Up (Candyland’s OG Remix) [TMN PREMIERE]

Stand Up (Candyland's OG Remix)

Soundcloud

It has been a hot, hot, HOT minute since we last heard anything from Candyland…too long if you ask us. Well ninjas, today you’re in for a delicious new treat from the Santa Barbara duo and their latest remix of a total throwback anthen, “Stand Up” by Ludacris. If you’re familiar with the original, then you’re probably re-living all those times this song would come on at high school dances, in grocery stores, and in grandma’s minivan. Grandma knew how to turn up before it was even cool.

Candyland took this Ludacris classic and turned it into an absolute banger that will undeniably be heard during festival season come this Spring. With a mid-tempo, moobah-esque intro, piercing siren synth progressions, and an unexpected bangin’ breakdown, Candyland give us a justified reason to stand up and go do beer bongs on a Wednesday. It may not be Tuesday and we may not be at a club that’s going up, but it’s clear to us that ILOVEMAKONNEN and Drake don’t understand that Wednesday is in fact the appropriate day to get weird. So get ready to get up and goin” with this one ninjas because Candyland is about to make you move some type of way.

[Indie Electronic] Samuel Proffitt & AOBeats – Sirens ft. Jeff Sontag & Jess Zobler

Sirens ft. Jeff Sontag & Jess Zobler

Whenever we see Samuel Proffitt’s name come up on our radar, we can’t help but stock up on extra boxes of Kleenex because we already know we’re about to endure a purge of suppressed emotions. After his sensational debut release, “Sladky”, we have been patiently awaiting the day where we could violate the repeat button. Well, the wait is finally over because our favorite sadboii teamed up with Moving Castle’s, AOBeats, to create their haunting yet mesmerizing track, “Sirens” which features the well known vocals of Jeff Sontag and his girlfriend Jess Zobler (precious, right?).

“Sirens” resonates something immensely powerful, highly original, and dauntingly familiar with its vocal-driven production. Flooded with mellow, ambient elements, futuristic chimes that ring of anguish, and a brilliantly arranged sound design, Samuel Proffitt and AOBeats give us a yin and yang effect that perfectly blend together to create a timeless track that will forever be adorned. With such a stunning production, Jeff Sontag and Jess Zobler had the challenging role of metaphorically painting us all a picture of what appears to be a modern day story about the mythological Siren in Greek mythology. However, as mythological as those female creatures are, we all have experienced a toxic lover throughout our lifetime and “Sirens” is essentially that. As Jeff Sontag relives the toxicity of being seduced in by the Siren (Jess Zobler), both vocals harmoniously pull us into this memoir of despair. “Sirens” is bound to make you all feel some type of way, so hurry on up and grab your free download while we wait for Samuel Proffit’s forthcoming debut EP, Blue Notebook No. 10 on January 27th.

Hot damn. You know when you come across one of those songs that just automatically gets you up and groovin’? Well if not, then we have the PERFECT House anthem from Los Angeles based producer, TEMPLETON and his killer new original, “Better Represent”. This 90’s inspired original takes you back to those 2 am nights in the club where you’ve been dancing for hours and your body just doesn’t seem to want to stop. Filled with wobbly bass lines, highly precise percussive elements, and catchy vocal chops, TEMPLETON takes us into the deeper side of production as it progresses into a perpetuating loop of total ear-candy. Make sure to grab your free download and get those booties movin’.
