Do you like music? Nice, so do we.

That’s why instead of hitting up happy hour for some dirty flirtinis, we spent our entire Friday afternoon ferociously debating which new EDM tracks are the most trill. And by ‘most trill’, we mean the 10 songs that are not to be ignored – for any reason, other than if you peed your pants.

Then again, peeing your pants is cool.

So uhh…yah. You should listen to all of these songs.

10. Wielding their street sweeping beat, SNAILS is shooting “SLUGZ.”

9. Kill The Zo, ’nuff said.

8. Once you go Thomas Jack, you never go back.

7. There’s Goldfish, there’s Koi, and then there’s this song.

6. It’s an Audien “Revolution.” We’re just living in it.

5. No, no “Ice Cream Sound.” Not until you eat your vegetables.

4. Remaining static will be a problem for die-hard fans of The Knocks. We present, “Move Me.”

3. Porter Robinson unveils another revolutionary chapter in his pièce de résistance, the “Sad Machine.”

2. Complete satiation thanks to the trio that is Nero.

1. Welcome insomnia. You won’t stop listening to this…not even for sleep.

Varien & SirensCeol – Moonlight (Feat. Aloma Steele) [Monstercat]

This next jam is simply beautiful.

Over the past year and a half, we’ve championed one of the next two artists, Stephen Burke aka SirensCeol, from the most embryonic stages of his production career. Fortunately for Stephen, both his work ethic and intellect (the man attends Berkeley University, need we say more?) have catapulted his talents to the forefront of EDM production with his unique approach to melodic dubstep and many other genres.

I vividly remember when SirensCeol opened for another enigmatic, the genre-blurring production prodigy known as Savant. Josh Hernandez, the CEO of Alek’s record company (SectionZ Records) also happened to be in attendance as well.

Before the show began, I had excitedly rushed up to him and told him to pay special attention to the opening act, Stephen.

After SirensCeol performed a wicked set and was transitioning to let Aleks set up his gear, I beckoned Josh over to the front of the stage where I was standing.

“You gotta sign that artist,” I yelled over the music playing during the entr’acte, “He’s incredible.”

Josh simply smiled and gave me an ever so cool, “Yeah, maybe.”

Next thing I knew, six months later, young Stephen had released his first full-length on SectionZ Records with Josh.

Funny, huh?

Despite the fact that I love telling people ‘I told you so’, I will try my hardest to abstain here.

However, California-based producer SirensCeol has come quite a long way. This next jam with Varien will only serve to further this fact. Featuring the incredibly dulcet vocals of Aloma Steele (which Stephen himself was incredibly satisfied with), “Moonlight” reached the number one spot on Beatport’s Dubstep charts in virtually no time at all.

Let’s give a congratulatory “follow” to Varien and SirensCeol on their prospective social media outlets. We hope you enjoy this absolutely fantastic track, which was released on Monstercat…go figure.

Great work boys, keep em’ coming.

Redefining Electro w/ LAZER LAZER LAZER [NEW]

by chasgoudie EDM, Heavy • Tags: Chas Goudie, EDM, EDM Blogs, electro, Elliphant, Kruce, LAZER LAZER LAZER, Rager Onions

Oh, LAZER LAZER LAZER.

Why do you continue to release hard-hitting, monumental remixes while hiding from the spotlight? We’ve jumped on your bandwagon and have been traveling for months now. But we’re tired of searching, and our final destination seems unattainable. Show yourself, or we will be forced to jump off the wagon and back into reality.

Their sound takes a life of it’s own – hard-hitting, aggressive electro music organically formatted to fit this screen. Early on, Knife Party’s signature sound lived in a world of it’s own; until LAZER LAZER LAZER decided to attack with all their might and force them out of the country (so to speak).

And lucky for us, the result was nothing short of magnificent. Their latest remix of Elliphant’s “Revolusion” lives up to the LAZER (x3) name, which at this point has become somewhat of a rarity in the electronic dance music scene.

The day LAZER LAZER LAZER takes to the live stage, make sure you’re front row to take in the rapture. Because once the mainstream takes hold of their music, there’s no turning back.
