Another song post

I've been working on a final playlist because I'm nervous about going to DJ without sufficient organization. So here are some of my favorites.


Download Felix Cartal feat. Miss Palmer Black to White (Clockwork Remix)

"Black to White" by Felix Cartel was nothing that really stuck out to me, so when I heard this remix it piqued my interest. It's edgy and grudge-esque, and it'll really have an impact at the dance. It has good vocals, which many electronic songs fail to have decent vocals, and it adds a soft layer to an angsty song. It has an interesting bass-line which sounds excellent and I think many at the dance will agree.


Download John Dahlback Overdose (Original Mix)

John Dahlback is by far one of my favorite artists. His songs have some of the best drum kick sounds I've ever heard and his anthems always revolutionize the way I look for music. If any artist has influenced me its him. His songs are either grungy yet well developed, house-like and very groovy., or arena filling and epic. This one is kind of grungy but very groovy at the same time. The bass-line keeps this song very dance-able.


Download Ziggy Cosmic (Original Mix)

I haven't found an other Ziggy songs, mostly because he doesn't have any, but this song is a real club banger. It's an anthem with some edge. To me it sounds like a basic anthem, but in a way that's why I like it. It's a copy of other electronic anthems but at the same time improves on that.

Anthem meaning a song which "fills a stadium". One that has a lot of emphasis on the higher frequency synths and a lot of eclectic sounds.

Moving Nicely...

So I this is the most recent version of the most recent song I've been working on. Basically, I changed some of the effects, changed the beat, put the beat in at different places so it would be more active, added two extra minutes because it sounded good, raised the tempo, and changed the melody of the main synth at several parts. So not much. And at least listen to the last two minutes, thats where the real change is. For the next I'm definitely looking towards house music though (not to say I'm done with this one):



A serious club banger in my opinion, the vocals definitely help. As far as my playlist goes, and my music researching, I've been looking into more pop-esque dance music from artsist like Basto!, Bingo Players, Swedish House Mafia, Soundprank, Adrian Lux, John Dahlback, Cosmic Gate and Afrojack.

And finally as far as the performance aspect of all this goes, I've been informed that there is a possibility of performing at our senior Black light dance thanks to my mentor being heavily involved in activity planning for our senior class this year. Very exciting.

Genre Focus: New 80's

The 80's.

I've been doing a lot of research on this genre and I have to say its actually awesome. I'm definitely going to try to incorporate some of it's sounds into my music in the future.


Download The Wombats Tokyo Vampires Wolves Grum Remix

Most of the good songs of this genre happen to be remixes of some of my favorite alternative artists which means awesome lyrics from Passion Pit, The Wombats, and many more. Grum works his magic on the one above. He seamlessly adds a groovy bass-line, crazy synths, and steady beat to already excellent English vocals.


Download Cassette Club 4 Me Bestrack Remix

This Cassette Club remix by Bestrack is another awesome example of 80's-esque synths, another groovin' bass-line, and nice vocals. Some artists to note: Bestrack, Cassette Club, Blue Satellite, Grum, Barretso, and the great Allen Walker. If some of these songs happen to land in my final mix I wont be surprised.
