Cedric Gervais :: Molly During Miami Music Week you could not walk a block without running into a missing person poster for Molly.  Originally, I though that this was just a fun, meaningless joke that a passerby would have a nice chuckle at.  That was until Tiesto dropped this song by Cedric Gervais.  In the middle of Tiesto's set his phone started to ring and when he answered someone was "looking for Molly." It turns ...

Arty, Matisse & Sadko :: Trio ((Original Mix)) + BONUS SINGLE Should we be calling Arty,  Matisse & Sadko Russian House Mafia?  Not yet, but this better not be the last time these three rock star Russian producers get together in the studio create a world class track.  Arty has been making quite a name for himself since this past summer with releases such as "Around the World" and his Rock-N-Rolla remix of Ferry Corsten's "Punk." The brothers Matiss ...

Tristan Garner :: Punx If you have ever been a fan of Daft Punk before, or even French electronic music, then Tristan Garner's "Punx" is the perfect song for you. It starts off with a relatively simple beat, but around the 1 minute mark the fun really begins.  At that moment when Punx slowed down it took me right back to when Daft Punk first hit my eardrums and from then on my affair with electronic music began.  Tri ...

Alesso :: Years ((Project 46 Praise You Edit)) A little more than a year removed from blasting onto the dance scene, Alesso hits us with another premiere track.  The first time the track hit the airwaves was on Swedish House Mafia's BBC Radio 1 Takeover two weeks ago.  What we heard was not the usual Swede's style -- instead, it was a prog house track on the lighter side of things and very different from his previous bass smashe ...

DubVision :: All By Myself ((Original Mix)) So ever since I copped this single of DubVision's "All By Myself" (at 7am this morning) it has been on repeat and it is not getting paused any time soon.  The first time I had the pleasure of hearing it was on Sander Van Doorn's Identity, which is a weekly podcast he does highlighting his favorite tracks of the moment.  "All By Myself" is one of those tracks that will have you mesmerized the s ...

Lil Scrappy - Big Boi ((Kaptain Cadillac Remix)) If you had a time machine, and decided to drop in on a sheltered French techno DJ from the 90's and totally mind-fuck him with a Three 6 Mafia record, we imagine you would inadvertently create Kaptain Cadillac.  Part of the Booty Call Records family, KC is all about putting rap on a treadmill and jacking up the speed. Lil Scrappy - Big Boi (Kaptain Cadillac Remix) A ghetto-tech revivalist and ...
