Tonight (I'm F*cking You) [Feat. Ludacris & DJ Frank E] - Enrique Iglesias

Since I don't spend all that much time listening to the radio, I don't post much Top 40-style music, but this song is (obviously) an exception. EDM took over in 2010, and pop producers have noticed; the dutch house sound of "Tonight" is becoming almost too common to hear blasting from your car radio. For a radio cut, this song sure can get a dance floor moving though, mainly because this is one of those tracks that girls absolutely LOVE.  Play it loud, and they will go nuts. Totally and completely nuts. Give it a try at your next party and tell me I'm wrong.

VIDEO! - Hot As Hell - Drop The Lime

I wish I had the original mix of this to drop on you in all of it's 320 kbps glory, but as of now, all that Drop the Lime has released are a few remixes and a low-fi club edit. I believe this is the first time I've ever heard a harmonica drop in song, but somehow it works. In fact, it does more than work, it sounds really, really good.

The Freeizm Album - Skream

Lot's of groups seem to be jumping on the free album train for Christmas (anybody heard the new Gorillaz album?), which I have absolutely no problem with. In the past, I haven't been a big Skream fan, his work is usually too dark and minimalist for me. There's always room for second chances when it comes to music though; the UK producer just dropped a free album, aptly titled "The Freeizm Album", and I'm loving it. "Emotional Shizzle", "Skwelcha", and "Cold Outside" are my favorites, so make sure to give those a listen.


Tracklist and download after the jump.

Skrillex

First, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas yesterday! Now on to some new music.

If you read any music blog that even pretends to follow electronic music, you've most likely heard of Skrillex recently. The screamo band frontman turned electronic artist has been taking the EDM world by storm. His rise has been quick; he has just finished opening for Deadmau5 on his latest tour after only releasing his debut EP early this year. At one point in the near past, he held 8 of the top 10 spots on Beatport, a feat no artist had ever before accomplished.

The only way I can describe these next two songs: mind destroyers. Brace yourself.

Scary Monsters & Sprites - Skrillex

In For The Kill (Skrillex Remix) - La Roux

American Life - First Rate People

All though it's not my usual cup of tea, this for some reason, I've been pretty obsessed with this song lately. Love the violin, and piano-driven songs have always been a favorite of mine. Also, I absolutely LOVE the voice of the female singer; her voice reminds of a walk on a gorgeous, sunny day; I get butterflies every time I hear it. This is beautiful, simple pop music at its best.

Thanks to Pigeons & Planes for the song.

Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager (Album) - KiD CuDi

One of of the best album covers of the year. Just putting that out there. At first I didn't like this album all that much, but it's grown on me. I've really taken a shine to "Mr. Rager" and "Scott Mescudi Vs. The World". My two favorite tracks however, are his stoner anthem "Marijuana", and his collaboration with GLC and Chip Tha Rip, "The End". Some great sampling on that second one; it has that classic, golden era hip hop feel to its groove.

Hardcore Days & Softcore Nights - Aqueduct

Unfortunately, my sister used to love watching the prime time soap opera that was The OC. Seriously, that show was horrible. The one positive thing that came from it though was that it had a great soundtrack. One of the episodes my sister watched had this song in it, and it caught my ear. The percussion on this song is great. The drums are super catchy (they almost sound like a loop) and there's some xylophone near the end which works really well with them. This is one of those infectious songs that instantly puts you in a good mood.

Is There A Ghost - Band of Horses

"Is There A Ghost" is off of Band of Horses' 2007 album Cease to Begin. I was lucky enough to catch the group at Sasquatch Music Festival last year, and this song was one of the highlights of their set. The lyrics are simple and haunting, and the way this song builds reminds me of another of my favorite groups, Explosions in the Sky.

Flute Loop - Beastie Boys

If you've never been to an OMSI Light Show, I highly suggest you change that in the near future. They are a lot of fun, and I first heard this song when I went to an electronica show a few years back. Off their 1994 album Ill Communication, this track is a short one, clocking in at a little under 2 minutes. Producers use them sparingly, so a good flute sample is always nice to hear in a hip hop song.

One of Us is Gonna Die Young - The Ark

The snowboard video Picture This is pretty epic. Part of the reason for this is its soundtrack, which includes "One of Us is Gonna Die Young" by a Swedish group named The Ark. This song is perfect for flying down the mountain without a care in the world. Love the upbeat tempo, and the accented hand claps.
