The Get Downnn, is an electronic music blog dedicated to putting Phoenix, AZ (and surrounding areas--yes, that means wherever YOU happen to live) on the electro/house/dubstep/If you can dance to it, we'll cover it, map. As an entity, we want to post your music. And as music fans we want to jam with you. So, if you haven't ever checked out the site, make sure to swing by, or drop us a line at thegetdownnn@gmail.com
That being said, let's get right to the music! Here are 15 tracks that we're going crazy for right now...read em' and weep!
Brand New, Daisy (Adventure Club Dubstep Remix)
If you haven’t yet been introduced to Montreal-based dubstep production outfit, Adventure Club, then it’s about time we did so.
The two piece just wrapped up work on a stellar dubstep remix of Brand New’s track “Daisy” (off of the group’s album of the same name) and if you were even remotely a fan of the original, this re-interpretation is definitely worth your time.
Melodic, thoughtful and yes–extremely dubby–Adventure Club‘s version definitely needs to make its way into your iPod, or at least your regular music rotation.
Dada Life, Unleash The Fucking Dada (At Dawn We Rage Unleash The Fucking Fury Edit)
At Dawn We Rage (aka producer duo: Stormy Logan [LightsoverLA anyone?] and Travis Seekrits [Emerge in Sea]) have been killing it as of late, and this seriously dirty edit of Dada Life‘s “Unleash The Fucking Dada“ is probably one of their best yet.
Sit back, relax and uh... Unleash The Fucking Dada.
Yolanda B Cool & DCUP, We No Speak Americano (Moonchild Remix)
There have been countless remixes of Yolanda B Cool & D CUP's "We No Speak Americano" and Moonchild's downtempo nu disco re-interpretation is probably our favorite by far. This'll have you feeling like summer in no time!
Operator Please, Volcanic (Dublin Aunts Remix)
Another awesome piece of music from the land down under, this time from DJ/Producer duo the Dublin Aunts. Known for dropping ridiculously catchy synth pop and indie dance, their remix of "Volcanic" is a force to be reckoned with.
First Aid, Drift to Hide
South Korea's FIRST AID might only be 22 years old, but what he lacks in age is made up for in music wisdom.
Influenced by a variety of genres (ie: metal, funk, pop and disco) FIRST AID’s sound is unlike anything we’ve previously encountered –granted, his discovery of LTJ Bukem‘s ”Journey Inwards” at 17 probably has something to do with it–but that was 5+ years ago!
FIRST AID’s productions cross a multitude of genres, but most fit into an ambient niche. Whether it’s deep and thoughtful drum n’ bass or hollow melodic dubstep, he's definitely a artist worth checking out.
Futurecop! Starworshipper (Owl Vision Remix)
When Futurecop! Unleashed their "Starworshipper" remix competition onto the intranets synth-pop producers went crazy--scratch that, producers in general--went crazy, and electro whizkid Owl Vision's take on the track is probably one of the best.
Breakdown, Zwiggy (Original Mix)
Los Angeles' Breakdown are quickly rising to the top of dance stardom with a number of break out originals and their MASSIVE (and extremely well-recieved) remix of Daft Punk's "Derezzed" ended up being used for an official TRON: Legacy commercial. Pretty cool, eh?
Fort Fairfield – Dresden Soul (With Cosima Lamberth) [Egon Ramberget Edit]
Poppy, melodic and a whole lot of fun to listen to, Egon Ramberget's edit of this Fort Fairfield original will have you bobbing your head in no time.
Daddy Cool, Chris Moody and DJ Riz Mix
Disco. Disco. Disco. Nuff' said.
Gareth Emery Ft. Jerome Isma-Ae, Stars (Hardwell Remix) [Video]
Emery‘s trancey original has been turned on its head, and transformed into a proghouse masterpiece. The remix is slated to be released with Gareth Emery‘s “Northern Lights Re-Lit” album, which features 12 brand new remixes of tracks from Gareth‘s debut album Northern Lights.
Moonbootica, Tonight (Original Mix)
Hamburg-Germany based party rockers, Moonbootica have once again emerged from the studio, this time with their first offering of 2011, a self described–”driving slice of prime, discofied housemusic“–thanks to indie dance imprint Cheap Thrills, and the name of the track? “Tonight“.
Like the majority of bangin’ house tracks “Tonight” at first seems quite simple, a looped disco refrain that builds throughout the progression of the song. Mix in a catchy vocal hook, a driving 4/4 time stamp and the genius that is Moonbootica–and well, let’s just say that ”Tonight” is dance genius.
Koya, Save Me (ConRank Remix)
Rankadank Records founder ConRank intitially launched the label as an outlet to release self-productions. Fast forward to present day, and it's one of the hottest indie dance labels around featuring a number of up-and-coming talents. If you like bass, this is one for you!
Aydio's 'Deltitnu' (Dubstep Remix) - Retrotation
If you haven't yet listened to anything from Retrotation then we'd highly recommend doing so. One of the most unique dubstep producers out there, Retrotation manages to combine beautiful melodies, orchestrations and acoustic instruments with deep bass lines, womp, wobble and grit. 'Deltitnu' is one of his softer offerings..
SuperStereo, Life Passed Me By (TABS Dubstep Remix)
Future Pop outfit SuperStereo are having a massive 2011 (their video for "Life Passed Me By" recently received heavy exposure via MTVU) and what better way to continue their rise to the top than with a dubstep remix?
Phoenix party rockers TABS (aka: Ben Andersen & Eric Hoss) gave the rock pop original a wobble filled makeover, and the video? It just adds to the experience.
Peace Treaty, Cal State Anthem (Metropolis Remix)
MASSIVE! This showed up in our inbox one Sunday afternoon, and has been one of our favorites ever since.
