The Symphony of Science.



If you spend any amount of time on the internet, you might have clicked on a link to these videos. Created by John Boswell AKA Colorpulse, the songs and videos of The Symphony of Science are "designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form."
This dude sure can work that autotune.
And apparently someone posted the video for A Glorious Dawn on Jack White's MyFace wall because he decided to release the track on a limited edition 7" vinyl through his own Third Man Records.

Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me (Hey Champ Remix) | 320 kbs

After hitting #1 on the hypem charts a little while back with their Cool Kids remix... the Chicago troupe gets even 'cooler' this time around working with Mike Posner. Get it? I used 'cooler' to both describe their reputation and the song title!! Huzzah for word play!!

Jesse Rose.



Somewhere between the reigning genres of yawn-inspiring minimal techno and the exhaustingly ear-piercing electro-blog-house sound is dance music. Remember House Music? Remember Funk? Remember when party music made you dance sideways instead of just banging your head or scratching your chin?
Meet Jesse Rose, the Berlin based co-creator of so-called "fidget house" - although a better name for his music might be "Smile-House". Rose just released his album, What Do You Do If You Don't? and it just might be the resurrection of all that is good in the electronic dance music world.
It is sample-based funky pop house. And it is fucking excellent.

Noisia.



If you don't know, you should. Dutch production team, Noisia, have been kicking ass in the Drum & Bass scene for a few years and are about to release a full length album. Noisia's music has defined modern broken beat music with its gut-wrenching bass and face-melting drops.
It is dark dancefloor mayhem. Dig.

Noisia - Gutterpump
Noisia - Diplodocus
