[Techno] Zombie Nation – Chickflick

Zombie Nation - Chickflick

This track from German techno producer Zombie Nation (real name Florian Senfter) is infectious! On first play I struggled to get into it, but knowing how much respect Zombie Nation has from other high profile DJ’s, I opened my ears a bit and gave this a second listen and I’m bloody glad I did. Bringing together a concoction of what seem to be kitchen pans and bleeping synths – the recipe is rounded off with a mighty hit of hard pounding beats.

Zombie Nation’s biggest hit of his career so far has been ‘Kernkraft 400‘ which landed him #2 chart position in the UK and broke into the top10 charts of a lot of europe charts too. Chickflick marks his return from a rather quiet period and comes with some seriously awesome remixes from Boris Dlugosch and Siriusmo. Buy the full release here.

[MENTAL DUBSTEP] Excision & Liquid Stranger – Get To The Point (Oblivion Remix)

[MENTAL DUBSTEP] Excision & Liquid Stranger – Get To The Point (Oblivion Remix)

Woah – this one is huge! Hailing from Minesota, America – 21 year old Oblivion has quite a habit of creating monstrous tracks that dwell in the safe confinements of his Soundcloud page. After only producing dubstep for 11 months, his sounds are made on [as he describes] “some crappy Philips brand speakers from a cd changer stereo” and are quickly being picked up by some of the biggest players in dubstep.

Taking this track from Excision & Liquid Stranger – Oblivion has really added some serious dubstep carnage, so take 5 minutes out your day and hit the play button 🙂

Tom-Hangs-Shermanology-Blessed-Avicii-Edit

Updated: Avicii, who also goes under the pseudonyms of Tom Hangs & Tim Berg is set to appear on Tiësto’s new ‘Club Life’ album with this track which has been widely anticipated ever since Avicii dropped it hard at his ULTRA set in March. The pair both come under Tim Bergs ‘At Night‘ management – so hopefully we’ll hear plenty more ‘edits’ in the future. With some killer vocals from Dorothy of Shermanology, be sure to pick this up on Beatport when it drops.

Dillon Francis #6 in Indie Dance Charts
Dillon Francis – Que Que

’Dillon Francis – Que Que’

The quirky named ‘Moombathon’ genre is quickly becoming synonymous with sounds of Dillon Francis. Essentially it’s the mix up between Dutch house and reggaeton, and the mastery of such a sound earns Dillon Francis a second consecutive appearence in the Best of Beatport Charts. This track was produced by Diplo and is sprinkled with a vocal topping from MalucaBuy on Beatport



#4 in Electro House Charts
Beats Inside My Head Donald (Glaude and Revolvr Remix)

’Beats Inside My Head Donald (Glaude and Revolvr Remix)’

Donald Glaude and Revolvr have taken this Scooter & Lavelle track and added some banging polytechnic glory to it. Reminisant of the break beat sounds usually associated with the likes of Wolfgang Gartner and Deadmu5, the boys have created a raging tune here, helped along by Sue Cho‘s (from Porter Robinson’s “Hello”) catchy vocals. Buy on Beatport



#2 in Dubstep Charts
Hirshee – So Good

’So Good – Original Mix 1.mp3′

Presenting “wob wob wob” in full Technicolor here! Hailing from Vancouver, Canada – DJ/Producer Hirshee got some vocals from Tonye Aganaba on this track and proceeded to create what I like to call.. a “bass-a-saurus”. With a pretty immense drop, any dubstep fan will be going nuts over this one. Buy on Beatport

’Avicii – Snus’

Mooqee & Pimpsoul – Keep Pounding

’01 Keep Pounding 1.mp3′
