Blawan – Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage (Skrillex Remix) [Preview]
For those of you who are surprised by Skrillex’s recent transition into a new musical territory, you clearly havn’t been paying him close enough attention. For the past few months Sonny has been working alongside producer Alex Ridha A.K.A. Boys Noize, and his fellow european producers. Not only have they influenced the LA born Sonny Moore, but completely altered his entire musical production, and composition. Since teaming up with the German producer Boys Noize, Skrill has begun experimenting with slightly more melodic strains of sound, and playing different tempoed music at small gigs and performances. His last EP entitled “Leaving” reflected his desire to test the waters of a new musical genre, but was slightly overlooked by his fan base, until his essential mix which aired last Friday on BBC Radio 1. Sonny’s two hour long mix had listeners and fans in shock and awe. The newage pioneer of dubstep has opened his ears to a novel style of music, and reshaped his production techniques to adapt to it. This remix to UK techno producer, Blawan’s “Why The Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage” was aired on Friday durring Sonny’s essential mix, and has prompted a number of reactions. Stay tuned for more information on the release of this remix.

Aoki first premiered this hard banger on both weekends of UMF 2013 as the opener to his sets.

initially it wasn’t about business, just music. Eventually he asked me if I could do something for Defected, with as much freedom as I needed. For me it’s a great opportunity, and I always take compilations so seriously, as seriously as I would an album. I’m so happy with the results

The last time Duck Sauce was on a famed festival stage was last year’s Governor’s Ball, shortly after their Main Stage appearance in Miami at Ultra Music Festival.

Afrojack – ‘It’s A Matter Of…’ (EP) [Preview]
Nick Van De Wall has been making all kinds of headlines lately, from totaling Ferraris to producing albums for people like Paris Hilton it seems like Afrojack just can’t keep himself out of the headlines these days. Despite the creation of his recent alternative house moniker “Far Far Away” the man has clearly lost his artists edge, and succumb to the mainstream limelight. Afro recently uploaded these three tracks to his soundcloud as an EP entitled ’It’s A Matter Of…’. The EP is comprised of 3 tracks we’ve heard him play countless times throughout the past couple of years. If he keeps this up it seems like it’s only a matter of time…. till Afro is old news.

Sebastian Ingrosso & Axwell – ROAR [Release]
It seems like Axwell and Ingrosso have more in common than the other third of the former Swedish House Mafia in Steve Angello as they team up to deliver “Roar” a new collabo which was first premiered in the ‘Monsters University’ trailer and soundtrack. “Roar” is now available for purchase via iTunes including remixes from Style of Eye and Yogi. This is only the start of big things to come for these two as they have already booked their Ushuaia residency dubbed “Departures.” My favorite remix goes to Yogi who delivers a heavy banger to compliment two thirds of the former SHM’s new track. The original just feels like something is missing without Steve. Let us know what you think of this new collabo and enjoy.

The second is a trap single, entitled “Pockets” and resembles RL’s signature style slightly more. No information on their release dates has surfaced as of yet so make sure to check back for updates.
