Wake up, it's Tuesday

Damn. So it's been a while since Electrickk Orange has posted anything. That's our fault. We apologize. We let life get the better of us, leaving all you Orangeheads out to dry with no access to all the newest beats. We hope the withdrawals weren't unbearable.

The good news- we are working on a Jordan-level comeback. However, be patient with us- we don't have the bloggers equivalent of MJ's athleticism to easily shift from dormant to instant badassery like he did from baseball to basketball. But we'll get there.

Part of this comeback includes adding new players and ideas for Electrickk Orange, the first of which you see revealed in this post. I'm Dylan, and I'll be teaming up with Chewy and the rest of EO to try to bring everyone the best music to chill, party, dance, etc. to.

For today, I bring you these two new MASSIVE Showtek songs to wake you up this Tuesday. When I say massive, they kickstarted me out of my study groove and into writing up this post. And these are just teasers, imagine what the entire songs will be like. We'll get you those as soon as they're available. Should I be studying? Absolutely. But I'm not. That's the kind of dedication you can expect from us from now on.

You're welcome-

Too Many Damn Mondays (Dr. Werewolf // Yuksek // Moustache Machine)

Hola Orangehead folk! Another Monday, how monotonous. Maybe I can cheer y'all up with a few throwback tunes I've been bumpin lately. This first one was honestly one of the first dubstep songs I truly found enjoyable to listen to. A hell of a lot more creativity than most of the 'step I've been hearing lately, but still hard as ever--a massive tune from Dr. Werewolf.

Wiley ft. Jodie Connor & J2K - Electric Boogaloo (Doctor Werewolf's 'a lil dubstep' Remix) *128


Here's a seriously groovin Yuksek remix for all the real Monday-blues-be-gone party people. And what a drop!

U-God - Ugodzilla (Yuksek Remix)


And last but certainly not least, Moustache Machine gives us a creative new look at Justice's classic "The Party." Very Nintendo-video-game-esque, but definitely dancefloor friendly and ready to tear a hole in your speakers.

Justice - Tthhee Ppaarrttyy (Moustache Machine Remix)


We out. -Nate Kates

P.S. Word to the wise, these music players may take a minute or so to load because the song files are large. Be patient!

From the Latest to the Late Greatest

Orangeheads alas, today I have real big things to share.

For those of you haven't really been following the business end of EDM lately, here's a quick sidebar to keep you up to date. Skrillex is in the process of starting his own new label, OWSLA. Just three days ago, Porter Robinson was the first to release his Spitfire EP through OWSLA. First of all, this EP and its included remixes are straight fire, so please do yourself a favor and hit it up on beatport. Or better yet, just check out my favorite track off the b-side right here. With an almost Armin-trancey vibe, but plenty of bass to murder any dancefloor:

Porter Robinson - Vandalism (feat. Amba Shepherd) by ElectrickkOrange

I feel like lately I've been posting Porter's music every other week, but the fact of the matter is you just can't ignore such massive tunes like these. Maybe he's just that impressive of an artist. And believe me when I say his new EP is definitely fertile with bangers.

Anyways, onto something completely different. The other day I was reminded just how groovy MSTRKRFT's production can be. Classic banger, check it:

Metric - Monster Hospital (MSTRKRFT Remix)


What bangers.

Cheers to an excellent weekend ahead. -Nate Kates

Back Into the Swing of Things!

Greetings Orangeheads! Sorry for the delay, the three of us have been busy getting back into the swing of things with school. However, watch out for EO to come back, and come back hard. Without further adieu I present some of my favorite songs of the beginning of this school year that haven't stopped bumping in my speakers.

First off a great track from Goodwill & Hook N Sling. These two guys have been making noise in the progressive scene lately, especially Hook N Sling. I present 'Take You Higher.'

Goodwill & Hook N Sling - Take You Higher (Club Mix)


Two things really tend to get on my nerve about EDM 1) Mashups 2) Daft Punk Remixes. So when two of these exist in one song you'd think I'd hate it right? I thought so too. On top of it all guess what? Another Gold Dust Remix? -_- Bare with me Orangeheads give this track a chance and I promise you won't help but tap your foot and bop your head.

Daft Punk (Jimi Needles Blend) - Something About Gold Dust


Lastly, Katy Perry + House Banger = Me in love. Every time.

Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (Matthew Sterling Remix)


Keep in tuned Orangheads! We are in the process of coming up with EO tank tops as well so look out for those in the near future!
Cheers,
-SeventhLetter

Electro House Update

Orangeheads! Today I come with good tidings, two very recently released electro house tunes. First up, one of my favorite 2011 breakout artists--the infamous green monster--Feed Me.

Feed Me - Cott's Face by youfeedme

Killer tune from Feed Me. And so well produced. Never seems to disappoint, does he? Here's another big name in electro, an artist whose sounds are always pointing the direction of the EDM scene. I am referring, of course, to the Porter Robinson.

Lady Gaga - The Edge of Glory (Porter Robinson Remix)

Well I'm sort of in a rush to get to class today, but have fun destroying your speakers via all that bass.

Oh, one more thing, we updated out Facebook page with a "Bandpage," which allows you to browse our posts and some selected tunes right on Facebook. Check it out! -Nate Kates

I Never Want These Voices in My Head to Stop. New Fake Blood!

Orangeheads, Fake Blood's latest banger, "Voices," is just that - a banger, and I never want it to end. I have had it on repeat ever since I first heard it, and it is going to be like that for a while I think. This song just makes me want to go do something crazy, so if you'll excuse me, I am going to go set up my strobe light in the hallway and start a dorm rave - Chewy

  Fake Blood - Voices by ElectrickkOrange

Keeping TABS

What a week its been so far. I must say, it feels good to be back in the swing of things. Lately I've been bumping TABS every chance I get--they're the perfect harmony of Indie dance and harder electro.

And who would have guessed it, but this anomalous deejay duo hails from Phoenix, with upbringings in the Tucson area. Have a listen to some of their varied tuneage, this first track combining elements of progressive house with moombahcore: 

Kaskade & Adam K - Raining Feat. SunSun (TABS Lets Get Bleepy Moombahton Remix)


This next remix of Calvin Harris' "Feel So Close" is one of those feel good tunes that guarantees at least a smile. Side effects include head bopping, feet tapping, and likely abrupt dancing.

Calvin Harris - Feel So Close (TABS Bootleg Remix)

They've even done a rework of that song that literally everyone in the world must know the words to now... You know... That one about the shoes or something?

Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks (TABS Remix)

If you're looking for 40 or so minutes of extremely danceable, varied, and well mixed electronic music, TABS has your number yet again:

Tabs New Years Eve Live At The Sticky Fingers via TABS Soundcloud

And for a momentary switch-up to a very similar sound, my personal favorite remix with "Look at Me Now"vocal stems. Disco Fries meets Tommie Sunshine? Too unfair:

Disco Fries & Tommie Sunshine - Look At Me Lotus (Disco Fries & Tommie Sunshine Bootleg)


Cheers to another good week, especially better now with these tunes hopefully floating around in the mix... -Nate Kates

Turn Me On Nicki

Guetta's new album "Nothing But the Beat" drops on the 29th Orangeheads, and among the tracks is this little banger. Prepare your bodies. - Chewy

Fade into Darkness Video

What do you Orangeheads think? - Chewy

Welcome Back to Class Tuneage

Here we are again, loyal Orangehead friends and family, back at another year of school. Part of returning to the swing of things involves posting loyalty on our part, which will come more and more as time accelerates. And trust me, we got some big things coming this year ;) Anyways, on to the music. This first classic hit is proof that Oizo still has it together, being the pioneer of electronica and a spearhead of the "Ed Banger" sound. Sampling "We Will Rock You" side-by-side with a KC & The Sunshine Band song? Madness.

Busy P feat. Murs - To Protect and Entertain (Mr. Oizo Remix)

I'm pretty sure the first time I heard this next headbanger of a song from Mustard Pimp was during a viewing of The Jersey Shore. Nonetheless, still a quality tune with enough bass to drive even Snookie insane (assuming she isn't already).

Jersey Shore Promo Theme - Figaro Fist Pump (Mustard Pimp Remix)

And before I call this one a wrap, here are a couple pop-remixes made unique as hell. Enjoy these soft synths and clubby 4/4s.

Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (Viceroy Poolside Edit)

The Black Eyed Peas - Just Can't Get Enough (No Big Deal Remix)

Well that should just about do it for now. Stay loyal, fans. Good luck to everyone who is now back in school! Lets make it a killer year to be Electrickk. -Nate Kates

Welcome Back!

ORANGEHEADS! Sorry for the wait to all of you. Nate and myself have been busy moving into our new abodes at the University of Arizona (Beardown!) Anyways, I don't have time for a lengthy post, so in the mean time enjoy some d-d-dirty new dubstep.

Echo Park - Fibreoptic (12th Planet & Flinch Remix)


Nero - Must Be the Feeling


Young Jeezy - Put On (Adventure Club Remix)

Prescribed: One Dose of Chill

So today I thought I'd switch things up a bit. Instead of bringing you the dopest drops or funkiest grooves per usual, I thought I'd prescribe a dosage of pure chill. First up we have the kings of just that, the trio who redefines chilled out trance, Above & Beyond. This song has some pretty minimal breaks and vocals to it, but with dynamics this deadly I just had to include it. Prepare yourself for the smooth seduction from one of trance's biggest names...

Above & Beyond - Sun & Moon (Club Mix feat. Richard Bedford)


The best of the best when it comes to chilled out music isn't always necessarily trance, as proven by a few of these genre-busters. Breakthrough beat maker Gramatik has it down to a science, as demonstrated here (yup, Gramatik, that guy who did Asher Roth's first EP and many more). Blackmill gives us a true definition of chillstep here as well with yet another Ellie Goulding remix. But this one's hawt, I promise.

Gramatik - Skylight


Ellie Goulding - Your Song (Blackmill Dubstep Remix)


Super 8 & Tab are yet another example of just how qualified one must be to enter the legendary Anjunabeats circle. These guys are gonna be at Audiotistic, so LA ravers prepare yourself for quite the epic evening. Strongly recommend seeing this duo live.

Super 8 & Tab - Empire (Feat. Jan Burton)


And why not wrap things up with a classic. Sure this might be one of those "I remember my first" electronic tracks, but fuck it. Honestly, nothing compares to zoning out to some classic Kaskade.

Kaskade - Angel On My Shoulder (EDX Radio Edit)


Chillax fellas, we got a few more days until the weekend. -Nate Kates

Got Ol' Face Melting Electro

Shalom Orangeheads! I've been lurking on some of the recent EO posts and realized we haven't done a good hard Electronic post for you all in a while. And who better to headline it all other than EO favorite, Dada Life. I have had the pleasure of seeing their live set a few times, and can honestly say that this Swedish duo never fail to put on an amazing show. And by amazing, I mean they keep the dancing and energy levels at maximum from start to finish. If you haven't gotten a chance to see them live, check out their site and book an upcoming show near you! Without further a due I present a new Dada remix from Mustard Pimp's ZHM, accompanied by other ridiculous dropping Electro House oranges to surely drop your jaws.

Mustard Pimp - ZHM (Dada Life Remix)


Porter Robinson vs. SHM - Leave the Wildcat Behind


Far Too Loud - Wake Up LA


Keep tuned in Orangeheads! The music is only gonna keep gettin' better.
Cheers,

The 4th, Though A Little Late...

Calvin Harris has always kind of been a favorite of mine. Here's a guy who does it all--versatile enough to drop the hardest of drops and the funkiest of breaks, just the right vibrations to murder any track like a true club killer. I was recently exposed to his remix of Kelis' "4th of July" was no surprise to me because I've never expected anything less from the face who always dominates the charts. An instant classic. So without further ado, a favorite of Calvin Harris' productions:




And here are a few Calvin oranges that should keep your library well stocked for now:

Kelis - 4th of July (Calvin Harris Remix) 


Calvin Harris - Feel So Close (Nero Remix) 


Jamiroquai - Canned Heat (Calvin Harris Remix) 


Katy Perry - Waking Up in Begas (Calvin Harris Remix) 


Last but not least, a Calvin classic. Total floor killer:

Tiesto - Century (feat. Calvin Harris) 


Here's to Calvin got'damn Harris. Keep up the good work, buddy. -Nate Kates

Fresh Fruit

Aloha Orangeheads! So anytime I have a long flight, you can bet your farm I'll be spending most of it listening to new tunes. Lucky for all of you, I've dug up some real fresh fruit this time. First up, a little clubby Posner remix from the DJ Kue (yep, the guy who made that swagalicious Hall & Oates remix from the Summer Playlist). This guy's been shelfing out dynamite lately, and this track is no exception. Plenty of bass, and the vocals just fit perfectly. I just wonder who Caroline Stevens is, must be quite the bitch if Posner had to include her the way he did... (3:14)

Mike Posner - Cheated (It's the DJ Kue Remix!) *Personal Fave Here


So it takes a solid Beatles remix to impress me, because its just so overdone and monotonous. But before we give up completely on remixes from the original rock band, here's a combobreaker from Allure with enough swag to fill a large jar. But seriously, this remix is straight ffffffire!

The Beatles - And I Love Her (Allure Remix)


And of course, in the fashion of saving best for last, here's a remix from A-Trak that defines disco-heat. This is what I love about A-Trak, his synths are always the most creative and his beats well constructed. Keep the disco balls spinnin, A-Trak.

Sébastien Tellier - Kilometer (A-Trak Main)


Fresh fruit for ya'll straight outta Maui, mahalo. -Nate Kates
