I’m not sure what I love more, Dada Life’s music, or their video teasers before they release new songs. Can’t wait for this to come out.

Friend Of The People
{Lupe with my (Stephen) rave shark at Bass Island}
.
Lupe Fiasco is back at it with his new mixtape Friend Of The People. Since it was released on Thanksgiving, I have listened to it at least five times in its entirety. Tackling different political and social issues (particularly the occupy movement) per usual, Lupe takes a few separate songs that I would never expect to be rapped over and uses his unique flow to annihilate them. Here are three of my favorite tracks, but make sure you download the whole thing HERE.
SNDCLSH In Vegas – Lupe Fiasco
The End Of The World – Lupe Fiasco * – I particularly like how he went over M83
Florence & The Machine – Take Care (Drake & Rihanna Cover)
.
A pretty cool cover from Florence & The Machine. Her recorded live performance’s are hit or miss with me because she misses a lot of notes but her live shows are unreal. But this is solid and I recommend everyone purchase Drake’s new album. I wasn’t the biggest Drake fan before this album but it’s really great. I’m throwing in the original of the song above and one of my other favorites, featuring a Stevie Wonder solo at the end. Yea, you heard me.

Kraddy – Black Box (Official Video)
.
As you know, we love Kraddy. He recently released the video for “Black Box,” the single from “Anthems of the Hero.” Basically, this video plays out as I imagined: a lot of fighting and slow-mo with a special sexy ending. This party’s sketchiness reminds me of that crazy Superbad party where Michael Cera sings “These Eyes.” Classic.
.
Also, Kraddy announced today the “Black Box” Remix Contest, a month-long competition between fans to develop the best remix of “Black Box.” Two winning fans will be selected to OPEN FOR KRADDY at an upcoming show. For info, check out KraddyODaddy.com.
Witchcraft & Wizardry
.
The Bloody Beetroots were one of my first favorite electronic acts, and I have stayed true to them ever since. If you know the Bloody Beetroots you know that they have always had a bad ass punk influence, and this song fully compliments that. The vocals are a little intense, but I still love their hard electro sound.
Church Of Noise – Bloody Beetroots
.
On a less dark note, here are some tunes that are sure to get you jumping.
Raise Your Head (Original Mix) – Alesso
Voltage (Cinema Intro) – Skrillex
Underneath the Sycamore (Dillon Francis Remix) – Death Cab For Cutie
.
Never would I have expected a dubstep remix of the song from the old Ipod commercial, nor one that was actually worth listening to of “What You Know” by Two Door Cinema Club.
Jerk It Out (Sawgood Remix) – Caesars
What You Know (Feed Me Remix) – Two Door Cinema Club
Dying feat Emily Hudson (Brown & Gammon Remix) (Preview) – Kill The Noise
.
To help you relax after getting a full dosage of hard hitting electronic music is some smooth hip-hop tracks. Keep an eye on this dude Dartlin and check out his new self-titled album (don’t worry, it’s a free download).
Sex On Sunset (Feat. Russ) – Dartlin
Awesome (Remix)(Feat. Pusha T) – XV
.
And now for a state of total tranquility…
The Big Pink – Hit The Ground (Superman)
I’m so happy The Big Pink have a new single. Their last album, “A Brief History Of Love” was really cool and I’m sure this new one will be even better. I put their new single below and two of my other favorite tracks.

Iggy Azalea – “My World” (Official Video)
.
T-BO?!?! After “Pu$$y,” I couldn’t imagine a cooler video or song, but it happened. I listened to her mixtape “Ignorant Art” and this is by far the best song. Female Yelawolf? Definitely far above Kreayshawn.

Iggy Azalea – My World
Good Life
I haven’t posted in quite a while. Sensation White Copenhagen and I love Techno have poked my ears pretty hard. There is alot of new music starting to pour out in the blog world along with official album drops. Drake and The Weeknd? Rihanna and Jamie XX? This maybe mainstream to anyone who downloads music on a daily basis; however, in terms of mainstream radio music, what will happen next? …music videos of Rihanna taking drugs and dancing to Calvin Harris- I’m in a state of awe. Moreover, I’m just curious where the music world is heading. I could rant on and on, but just enjoy the music:
.
Feel Good
UFO (Keljet’s Hawaiian Remix)-Coldplay
.
This song is unreal.
Throw Me To The Stars-Elizabeth Rose
.
Allora
Foreign Language feat. Jess (Elizabeth Rose Remix)-Flight Facilities
.
The Suburbs (Cry Wolf Remix)-Mr. Little Jeans
.
More Electronic
Here is my deal with this song- There was alot of hype to this song, but what would you honestly expect combining The Doors & Skrillex? I like the song, but in terms of being a unique collaboration, it was a little bit of stretch.
Breakn’ a Sweat-Skrillex Ft. The Doors
.
I could fuck with this song any day of the week.
Aural Psynapse (Myndset Remix)-Deadmau5
.
Swag
This chick is like Nicky Minaj before she turned into a fake person.
Runnin’-Azealia Banks and Lunice

I liked Easy A #sorrybutnotsorry
Afrojack – Lionheart
I am beyond digging Afrojack’s new tune. It has a classic Afrojack sound, but is still a lot harder than most of his music.
Deportees – Islands and Shores (My Last Wish Remix)
Hey. Us again. Wanna feel good about yourself? Download this.

(Does anyone else think the end sounds like Dancing In The Dark by Bruce Springsteen? Very, very similar)
