Immigrants! That's how they do, you know. Just drive around listening to raps and shooting all the jobs.

Zzafrika (Gesaffelstein Remix) - ZZT (GOLDEN BANANA)
A candidate for most exciting Techno producer right now, probably just behind Simian Mobile Disco.  Every track blows me away, especially this one.


Toot it Up (Feat Nick Thayer & Gotti Boi Chris - Nick Thayer Remix) - DJ Yoda (Silver Banana)
Definitely one of the top Moombahton tracks out in my opinion.

Too Many Dicks (OVERWERK Remix) - Flight of the Conchords
Super fun Electro House remix of fucking Flight of the Conchords.  Yup.

Spock's DeeeLite - Sabo
Moombahton that samples Drop It Likes It's Hot.  I heard Sabo drop this live, and it fucking KILLED.

Con Artist - Gridlock and Skitty
Crazy ass Drum & Bass.  DnB has got to be the most underrated genre in the blog scene.  Does anyone know of any great DnB blogs?

Diversao Tropical (Da Fresh Remix) - Tony Marquez & Aurel Devil
Tech House on the Tribal side, I know that some of you are all about this.

Freedom (Skreamix) - Rage Against The Machine
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

We Will Rock You (Original Mix) - NDKj and Luigi Rocca
House on the Deep side.  Pretty Minimal, but it has that House thing that is the essence of dancing.

Ese Papi (Original Mix) - J-Trick
Moar Moombahton.  This one is Dutchy.

Keep Your Hands Up (Anthem Dub Mix) - Dave Darrel
Not as unique or exciting as his other tracks, but still fantastic production.  Progressive House.

Furthermore, Moombahton has been a very controversial subject among EDM blogs.  Seeing as this is a blog that tends to post pretty much every genre except for Trance, I'm curious to hear what you lovely readers have to say about it.  Do you like it, is it garbage, is it genius or amateur?  Will it blow up like Dubstep and Dutch House before it?  I'm gonna keep posting it because I've become a huge fan despite initially hating it, but I'm very curious to hear your opinions.  Also, check out Chemical Jump's post on the matter and the massive argument that ensued in the comments.  Or, you can just let me know that I'm trying to get too deep and that I should shut up by doing nothing at all.

Let The Children Techno!

If you had any doubt left in your mind that every Electro act east of the Atlantic hasn't got their eyes set on Techno, let this cast the final light.  Ed Banger climbs out of the Abyss in order to join forces with favorites from Boys Noize Records, Turbo, Institubes, and Brainfeeder (I know, crazy) to bring you a brand new compilation.  After a thorough listen, the album actually caught me by surprise since the overall feeling is much more relaxed than I anticipated as well asvery hit and miss.  That said, there are some real gems on this sucker and I will always have a hard on for anything with artwork by So Me.  Regardless, we can all just be thankful that while DSL made the cover, they most certainly didn't make the compilation.

Anagogue (Original Mix) - Brodinski & Tony Senghore (Golden Banana)
Brodinski is KILLING it right now.  This is probably my favorite from the comp.

Shades Of Black (Original Mix) - Breakbot (Silver Banana)
Breakbot doing what he does best, and that of course is bringing the Disco.

Caravan Of Delight (Original Mix) - Flying Lotus
The odd one out on the album.  Who cares, the man makes art.

Let The Children Techno
Grab the whole compilation for more tracks by other awesome guys like Siriusmo, Gesaffelstein, Skream, Duke Dumont, Zombie Nation, Djedjotronic...

Also read the review from Ilictronix, where we disagree over a lot.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to bring you a message from Kevin Saunderson.  Recently, a group called Supernova heavily sampled his track The Sound in their track Beat Me Back (posted by me HERE).  You can listen to the orignal below, and click on the link to read his response.
