Steve Aoki & Tiesto- Tornado (Kill The Noise remix)
Alright as you may notice here at Digital Dankness, were not huge fans of dubstep, but time and time again Kill The Noise comes to us with some new electro dubsteppy dubhouse that we rethink our whole position on this music. Steve Aoki and Tiesto released Tornado which we all have heard played this summer. Now Kill the noise adds his own touch to this amazing track. This track runs goosebumps up and down your arms as the beat drops and makes the electricity run through your body. Wait for the progressive build and the huge drop around 1:30. Kill the noise kills it once again.
This is a great new mixtape from gLAdiator, a duo hailing from Los Angeles, whos sound has no limits. Here's an hour "full of trap, bass, dubstep and kuduro jams, including a few of our new tunes!" ...and we can't forget to mention all the great airhorn samples!
Whether you like electronic or hip-hop or anything in between you should roll the windows down, ride slow and bump this: July Mix [7.21.12] by gLAdiator

Welcome to Flashback Friday, because what better way to end off the long week than with musical gems from the past. Each week I will do my best to select classic and/or forgotten-about tracks from a number of genres. Since electronic music as a whole is relatively new, these throwbacks may not in fact be that old, per say, however they will be songs that, in my own opinion, have seen their "Hay-Day" pass them by. In this edition we have some all-time classics of mine so be sure to check them all out!

HOUSE: I want to take you back to 2008, back to a simpler time in the world of electronic dance music, as a matter of fact, before it was even known by the acronym "EDM". Bart B More's remix of "Touch Me" by the Bingo Players is a track that you just can't help but bob your head to with its attention-grabbing synths and catchy vocals. Although the Bingo Players' sound has progressed with the times, they should never forget their roots in this deeper house sound that works so well.

MOOMBAHTON: Although we don't post much moombahton on a regular basis, I can't get enough of loud bass at slower, more latin-sounding tempos. "Show Me Love" is a classic track that gets transformed into a moombah banger in this great remix. How is it that these soothing, melodic notes are so firm yet make me feel so wiggly? This is a question that simply cannot be answered.

DUBSTEP: First things first, Hall & Oates are the man, just look at that moustache. They pounded out nothing but hits in the late 70s through mid 1980s, but in case you didn't know, the times have changed and so have the sounds. Drivepilot chops up the original vocals and tune, adds a plethora a wobbles and bass to update this old-school classic into easily one of my top 10 dubstep tracks I've ever heard (Slight bias due to the 'stache)

HIP-HOP: This track takes us back to what I would call the prime of 50 Cent's career. 50 had success with his albums, G-Unit was establishing itself in the rap and clothing game, "Fiddy" even had an autobiography (which assumes that he actually does know how to read..?) Anywho, "Outta Control" (Remix) featuring Mobb Deep is by far my favorite song he ever came out with and the smooth, sexy beat never gets old to me.

WEEKLY WILD CARD: The last song of every Flashback Friday is going to be basically whatever throwback song I am in the mood for, appropriately called the "weekly wild card". With all the talk these days about EDM going mainstream and artists selling out, I couldn't help but go back to one of the songs that lead me to fall in love with this type of music by an artist who has received a lot of criticism for the direction in which he has progressed both musically and career-wise. I am referring to Tim Bergling, aka Avicii's remix of Armin Van Buuren's "Drowning", a song that is still one my favorites of his.
When he was gaining popularity with his signature big-room sound, he was also receiving criticism for his lack of talent in the art of DJing during his live performances. I had the chance to see Avicii at Identity Festival in the summer of 2011 and was somewhat dissapointed at what has now been coined as "Play Pressing", in other words, the music was playing, but the man who everyone came to see wasn't really doing anything to it. A year has passed since then, and I am happy to say I was both impressed and relieved at the amount of improvement I saw when Avicii headlined Electric Daisy Carnival NYC on Saturday of the festival. It almost seemed as though he was making it a point to prove wrong the nay-sayers such as myself with his long, very involved introduction to the set.
Before I keep rambling more than I already have, here's a flashback to the classic track that got it all started:

I hope you all enjoyed our first FLASHBACK FRIDAY, I must say it was fun to make. Keep checking in daily as we have a lot of new plans/ideas for the site we hope to continue to implement through the rest of this summer.
Qulinez are back at it again with this heavy hitting, bass pounding banger. The duo recently played the world famous "Ministry Of Sound", for a private Size Matters Party. Many of you will remember the Size Matters stage at EDC, located inside of MetLife Stadium on Saturday of EDC Weekend, headlined by the one and only Steve Angello of Swedish House Mafia.
Qulinez are no stranger to strong deep vocals tied with magical production. One of my favorite tracks from this year is "A Heavy Abacus Qulinez Remix" The deep vocals in this track have goosebumps riding your body from the first bass drop.
Without hesitation, the Bingo Players created a great tune to be played at parties all summer long. After Qulinez's well-known "Troll", I personally thought he would be a one hit wonder, but he has time and time again disproved me. This track drags the build, until you cant wait for the drop any longer, along with great vocals this track is destined to be a classic. Watch for this team to grow further and become a House Name. No Pun Intended.
