Party Tracks of the Week!

M.I.A. - Bring The Noize
#Matangi #Bass #Electro

With artists like Azealia Banks, Natalia Kills and Wynter Gordon all trying their hand at gritty electro recently, M.I.A.'s triumphant return is the only one that is truly fierce, thrilling and with an effortless dancefloor pull that can't be tamed.



Kidnap Kid - So Close feat. Sinead Harnett (Club Mix)
#House #Bass

As beautiful as it is, there was always a dance anthem spirit in the original "So Close" that is finally unleashed with this rework, with a new ricocheting bassline and thicker beat doing wonders for the track's dancefloor appeal.



Sophie - Bipp
#Wonky #Bass #Techno

There was something slightly unhinged and unusual about Sophie's dance anthem "Nothing More To Say", but "Bipp" is full on mental institution. Taking the eerie pop sound of Grimes, giving it some Glasgow Wonky touches a-la TNGHT and then giving it some Robyn euro-80s sheen. And it's bloody addictive.

Party Tracks of the Week!

A*M*E* - Heartless (MNEK Remix)
#Bass #R&B #Pop

With A*M*E*s bubblegum pop solo material contrasting somewhat with her ultra-cool spot on Duke Dumont's "Need U (100%)", teen prodigy MNEK brings a remix of her latest single that mixes all the sugar sweet melodies and gutsy pop aspirations with a dirty underground bassline and thick garage beats. Dare I say, this will please everyone.



Rudimental - Waiting All Night (Kidnap Kid Remix)
#Garage #2Step #House

Remixing a drum & bass to house is often a recipe for awkwardly-slowed-down-vox disaster. Luckily Kidnap Kid has the right idea when remixing Rudimental's #1 single, cleverly twisting the vox from gutsy and energetic, to sultry and suggestive, letting the jerky stop-start bass do the talking.



The Partysquad - Badman (feat. Alvaro)
#Hardstyle #Reggae #Rave

A revisitation of The Partysquad's incredible "Badman Rave" EP from last year, an insane fusion of reggae, hardstyle and electronic dance. "Badman" itself is a slippery dub number that gives way to a dinosaur stomp of a kick drum and frantic, twanging synth lead.

PSY - Gangnam Style (Diplo Remix feat. 2 Chainz & Tyga)
#Trap #HipHop #Swag

Diplo is probably the only producer in the world with the skills to make Gangnam Style credible. Probably because the token "what the fuck!?" trap beats are impossible to dance Gangnam Style to. 2 Chainz and Tyga sound like they wrote their raps in 5 minutes, but the whole thing's a lot of swaggy fun. 



Lulu James - Closer (Kidnap Kid Remix)
#House #Dance

Not a huge change from the original, but Kidnap Kid's beats are shaper and his bass is harder, giving the track a much needed Deep House punch.



TNGHT - Acrylics
#Trap #Electronic #Industrial

TNGHT really know how to drop a crazy tune. Industrial sized beats and an untameable lead synth, sounding like the soundtrack to a Power Rangers fight scene, with the occasional deceptive music box interlude, this is definitely "Lower and Filthier Ground".
