Recently, in a poll on the blog, when asked which genre of electronic music viewers wanted to see more of, over 50% chose techno's bassiest subgenre, Dubstep. Here is some new shit to set your bass on fire and make your eardrums wobble.

The past two days have been massive for new releases. Two tracks we previewed earlier finally dropped, the more hyped one sophocles already shared with all of you, White Noise/Red Meat.
But not long ago we showed you the video teaser for the new Tiesto & Hardwell track. And although Dada has seemed to get all the hype recently, Zero 76 released yesterday.
As you all know (if you've read anything about this blog), we do not post trance. Therefore you would never expect to see Tiesto here. But, as much as I hate to admit it, the almost purely trance DJ has insane skill. And when put into house and electro with collaborations, he always dishes out the best shit, and this is no exception.
Check out this track. Don't hesitate.

A HUGE genre of new music right now is the Mashup. For those of you who don't know, or for some reason can't guess what it is, a mashup is one single track, consisting of two or more individual tracks mixing the vocals, instrumentals, harmonies, and melodies. Personally, I am not a huge fan of mashups. I respect their ingenuity, though. No doubt a well put together mashup is almost mathematical in its flow, but I just don't love them. This could have to do with the fact that almost every major mashup group uses pop music tracks, and most pop songs make me fucking crazy.
BUT, if you haven't gathered by now, this is an electro music blog. So what type of mashup belongs in my post? Electro Mashups.
They can be considered glorified set mixing, but the really well done tracks are absolutely nuts.
Without further adieu, here are a couple electro mashups
Extra Credit: If you DO like pop mashups, as I know many people do, make sure to check out the Best of Bootie compilations, created by underground mashup superstars, A + D. They take the best bootleg mashups found around the internet and create a yearly mix.

Enjoy.

I know that this seems a bit late to be announcing the Swedish House Mafia's documentary, but I wanted to get a chance to see it first before I hyped it up. But this movie deserves all the hype it can get.
For those of you who don't know Take One is the new documentary on the swedish house mafia, following their career as a group. Not to give anything away, but the movie follows the lives of the individual artists in the group (Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Axwell) and shows everything from their meal time rituals to production of tracks.
I HIGHLY recommend this movie to anybody that wants to learn more about the working pieces of electronic music.
No. Fuck that. I recommend this movie to anybody that's ever wanted to rave to "One". So every single one of you.
Here is the trailer:

So this friday is a HUGE concert at Pacha NYC, Dada Life. One of my favorite groups for both remixes and original production, the Swedish based duo have released nothing but hits recently, and personally I couldn't be more excited. As an added bonus, Bart B More, another huge artist, is opening that night.
Dada Life has officially leaked their newest upcoming song, White noise / Red Meat, and they have been playing it in their live sets since new years eve. Check out the teaser video below. DO. NOT. MISS. THIS.
AND even more so, the party starts at 1 PM. How could this be, you might be wondering? Well Pacha is screening the new documentary "The Electro Wars." The movie is about the influence blogs and the internet have had on the current electro scene (I KNOW), and should definitely be checked out.
Check the Electro Wars HERE.
Here is the trailer:

And the new Dada Teaser. Don't Hesitate, you will fucking regret it.
