Top Five Outstanding Originals/Remixes of the Month

Each time I do the monthly best of, I usually single out a couple really outstanding compositions but ranking them is a new endeavour. Sure its totally subjective and is probably going to cause a bunch of fuss, but you know what? …I have the blog, so I’m right. It gets a little hazy after #1, but at least there is an extremely clear top dawg this month; Bare & Datsik’s original dubstep track ‘King Kong’ is probably going to be in every dubstep set I drop until October.

1: Bare and Datsik – King Kong

Dubstep:

Tons of good remixes and mashups for you this month in the dubstep category, but only one original. SBTRKT’s new song Wildfire is a bit unconventional in dubstep terms, but just because it doesn’t use Modern Talking doesn’t mean its “not dubstep”. Not that I take genres really seriously – they are basically just here to help you guys find music you might like.

Electro:

Forcing Function has a couple tracks that have weasled their way in to my top40/electro set repertoire, and their latest is no exception. I’ve been dropping the Rolling in the Deep mashup in every single party set I’ve done since I got it last month.

Downtempo:

Great month for chill downtempo stuff. I’ve been on a real kick lately, as I have a few outdoor daytime sets coming up that I am most excited for. There’s nothing like music beside the lake or pool on a nice summer day, amirite!??!

House, Trance, and Indie Dance:

A couple real heater mashups on here, and some proper original/remix work. Avicii’s latest is a festival hit for sure, and Dan Castro’s latest party edit is a “must rinse” for all the DJs out there.
