Imagine Dragons has done a lot of work for the rock genre this year, keeping the sounds alive in the top 40 for an area of music that’s dominated by EDM and pop hits. However, their dub-rock smash “Radioactive” turned a lot of heads with the incorporation of electronic elements into their grimy guitar riffs and soaring vocals.

[ELECTRO/R&B] Ciara – “Body Party” (ESTA. Remix)

[ELECTRONICA] Phoenix – “Trying To Be Cool” (Moon Bounce Remix)
Philly based electronic producer Moon Bounce caught my attention pretty quickly with the glitched out, chill-hop remix he put together for Phoenix‘s new track “Trying To Be Cool.” With so many EDM artists producing a wish-wash of similar sounding beats, it’s refreshing to hear something that sits in the same vein, yet sounds altogether unique. The production technique makes sense when you read into some of the inspiration... Read More
