End Of Line (Boys Noize Remix) - Daft Punk (GOLDEN BANANA)
It's surprisingly underwhelming in your headphones compared to the carnage it causes on a proper system.  This is one of those tracks that gets the crowd jumping.  Unfortunately, really the only keeper from the Tron remix album, which I was super excited to post until I listened to it.  Oh well.


Origines (Original Mix) - Sebastien Leger (Silver Banana)
Tech House on the groovey/housey side from the incredible Frenchman.

Red Air - NiCe7 (Silver Banana)
House music rules.  This one's funky, exactly what House music is meant to be.

Enter Sandman - Hervé vs Metallica 
YES.  This came out as a shitty 128 a few years ago, but he just released the 320.  Bring the mosh pit.

Aktion (Original Mix) - Zodiac Cartel
Electro House on the crazy, maybe Techy side.

Like A G6 (Roger Sanchez Remix) - Far East Movement
Definitely my favorite remix I've got of this track.  Organ Housey, super sexy.  Would fit into a Dutch/Club set SO well.

I Hate That You Love Me (Chuckie's Marquee Remix) - Diddy-Dirty Money
Speaking of Dutch House.  This actually sounds a lot more like Nari & Milani than Chuckie, in that the lead is just rhythmic and not a Dutch line.

Contact (Trolley Snatcha Remix) - Foreign Beggars & Noisia
MASSIVE Dubstep alert.  This would just destroy, I can see it.

Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (Gigamesh Remix) - Michael Jackson
Super extended Nu Disco groove remake.  It's super similar to the original, so you won't piss off a bunch of people.  Really just a great DJ tool.

Alright (Tocadiscos Dub Mix) - Tocadisco feat Lennart a. Salomon
Cut the mid range, drop the bass.  Electro House.  The vocal drop rules.

Bitches

Gotta love dem Bitches.  But since you're reading this here EDM blog, chances are you're more likely to have beaten Zelda more times than you've gotten your D wet.  Have no fear.  You know what Bitches love?  Techno.  So hear are some tracks on the Techier side, just blast these in your room with some mood lighting and you'll have the panties of your biddie(s) of choice in no time.

Alzheimer (Original Mix) - Hy2RoGeN& Fr3cky Feat. Tyler (Golden Banana)
Think FML, but with more going on.

Abacaxi - Milton Channels
Serious Techno for the serious Bitch.  You'll get down all mechanical like.

Feniksas (Fergie Remix) - King Unique
Fergie should be no stranger to you if you read us.  Big fans, we are.

Getting Over (Thomas Gold Remix) - David Guetta
Pretty Techy for Gold, of course the buildups are Guetta vocals.

Hells Definition (Andrea Bertolini Remix) - John Curtis
Loverly Tech House.

Istandam (Koen Groeneveld & R3hab Remix) - Ahmet Sendil, Koen Groeneveld, R3hab
Techno that samples Klezmer music, I love it.

Sports Bear (Milton Channels Remix) - Cardo Elia
Really awesome drums in this Techno track.

Greed (Original Mix) - Marco V
Sum Tech Trance.

Late At Night (Tocadisco Remix) - Zoo Brazil
Weirdest track of the bunch.

Backroom Honey (Original Mix) - Saeed Younan
By far one of the simplest, catchiest, and raviest samples ever. This has Rave written all over it.

Evil Live (Original Mix) - Piatto
Techno at it's best.

Kitch In (Original Mix) - Tim Green
This track got a ton of attention from big names, I don't really understand why from my headphones, I'm guessing it comes more alive on giant speakers.

Taipei Pocok Salata (Dub Mix) - Soliquid
BAAASSSSSSS

Metalworld (Son Of A Beat Remix) - Forza
So what, J already posted this before. That first drop is still absolutely killer.

Peanuts Club (Momma's Boy Remix) - Noob & Brodinski
Big kick on this Tech House track. Everyone should know/have the original.

2 Many Shots of Jaegermeister (Ahmet Sendil Remix) - Tocadisco
Bouncy Tech House track.

Death By House - Len Faki
Wouldn't be surprised to hear this being played by Dubfire on Thursday at Together As One. HELL YES!

Avicii Did A Bad Bad Thing (Original Mix) - Tim Berg
Not sure who Tim Berg is, guess he's friends with our favorite Avicii, but this track is pretty cool.

Oslo - Carl Johan Elger
Finish it up with a pretty Techno track.

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Yesterday I was drunk for a straight 13 hours. I'll tell you right now, probably wasn't the best idea.

-M

Jeffer (Modeselektor Remix) - Boys Noize
Hell yeah, this track is awesome. Super dancey and Ravey in that Modeselektor style.

I Didn't Know My Own Strength (Daddy's Groove Club Mix) - Whitney Houston
Daddy's Groove blow me away again. Progressive Bomb.

8000 - Proxy
Different from his other stuff, still very heavy Electro but sounds a lot more mature to me especially due to the big House influence. I like.

Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
In case you missed this one (must have been very difficult to do so, but I know some of our readers don't subscribe to the whole popular Discodust thing).

Way of Love (Dave Darell Remix) - Tocadisco Feat. Vangosh
Nice Prog track from one of my favorites. He can really kill any style he goes for. The super detuned lead is incredible in this one.

Style Of Eye Remixes

I've been meaning to post about this dude for a while now. His name's Style Of Eye (such an awesome name) and he's definitely one of the top Tech House producers around. Super Ravey, super Minimal, never boring. Dude's got a lot of material, so this post will only feature his remixes. Maybe I'll post his originals later, but I highly recommend that everyone go find his album (and if you find it in good quality please let me know, the one I've got is shit).

-M

Mars (Style of Eye's Tool For School Remix) - Fake Blood
This is exploding on blogs everywhere right now, and got me excited about this post. He took Fake Blood's unforgettable banger and translated it into something PERFECT for a massive sound system and Rave crowd. What a remix.

Remedy (Style of Eye Remix) - Little Boots
Holy shit, this track is NUTS.

Heartbeats (Style of Eye Remix) - The Knife
Pretty old track (2004), way more Housey than his newer stuff. I really like this one.

Leave (Style Of Eye Vocal Remix) - V. V. Brown
Another fucking nuts track.

Way of Love (Style of Eye Remix) - Tocadisco Feat. Vangosh
I feel like J will love this one. Super crisp production.

I Won't Kneel (The Bloody Beetroots Remix) - Groove Armada
I can't believe people still pays these guys for remixes. They're done.

Arias: En Francais

This post marks the end of our little Mau5trap feature, hope you enjoyed it. Julien Arias, commonly known as just Arias, is a French Progressive/Electro House DJ/producer here to remind us that France still makes great House music. This Parisian makes really massive tracks, all of which are beautiful in some way. I could see him getting played by those Swedish bastards we all love, and he's collaborated with Arno Cost as well as remixed David Guetta, Tristan Garner, and Noir. Favorites up top with collection at bottom:

Atlantic (Original Mix) - Arias
If you have somehow forgotten the meaning of the word Drop, this first one in this track will surely remind you. Progressive BOMB, will destroy crowd.

Saira (Original Mix) - Arias
Another bomb, this one way more Electro. I can't really explain this one, all I can say is awesome. It's like Crystal Castles meets Big Room Electro House, since the hook is this incredible chip sound.

Tomorrow Can Wait (Arias Seat Ibiza Remix) - David Guetta And Chris Willis Vs Tocadisco
So much better than the original. Hits really hard.

Sweet Melody (Original Mix) - Arias
So beautiful, I'd love to hear this track live.

Tutu (Original Mix) - Arias
This one is very recent if I'm not mistaken. Disclaimer: contains really catchy/dancey riff, will get stuck in head.

In addition, he has a fantastic remix of Insomnia, one of the most epic House tracks of all time, but there only seems to be one version out there and it has this tiny little glitch, making it not so DJ friendly, but here it is.
Insomnia (Arias Remix) - Faithless

And now collection time. If you like the above tracks, you really should dig through these, worth your time:

The Comeback Of The Hero

No, not Wolfgang Gartner, but rather Dabruck & Klein, those Germans that have also stolen my heart in the past week or so. Here are some more tracks of theirs to add to your collection. If you missed the first post about them, you can check that HERE.

The Comeback Of The Hero - Dabruck & Klein
Epic.

Silence (Dabruck & Klein Remix) - Hi_Tack
Not quite sure this song is by Hi_Tack, since I'm pretty sure it's a remix of Delerium. Perhaps a remix of a remix? Who cares, this track is gold.

I Love Rock & Roll (Dabruck & Klein Remix) - Alex Guadino & Jason Rooney
Great remix of a classic. Really show off their skill with this one.

I Believe 2008 (Dabruck & Klein Remix) - Celvine Rotane
Happy electro house.

Streetgirls (Dabruck & Klein Mix) - Tocadisco

Exceed (Dabruck & Klein Mix) - Alex Romano feat BT

Bring The Noise (Dabruck & Klein Mix) - Public Enemy
By all means a great remix, but it will always be shadowed by Benassi's simply because his is probably one of the greatest electro house tracks ever made. If you have not heard it, click HERE to grab his latest album, Rock N Rave, via Audible Musings.

BONUS:
Say Say Say (Waiting 4 U) (Original Mix) - Hi_Tack
Can anyone catch the sample? This is Hi_Tack's most famous track.

Tocadisco

Tocadisco's album is a pop piece of shit, not worth your time, even for the 1/2 songs that were enoyableish.  Still, hugely popular and helped get him to where he is today.  His remixes, on the other hand are pretty great.  Here's my favorite, not really dance party material.

Minimal (Tocadisco's Sunday At Space Remix) - Pet Shop Boys

BONUS: ARMAND USES LFO

Signs (Armand Van Helden Remix) - Bloc Party
