Electronica Staff Picks

Jonas Altberg needs no introduction when introduced under his production alias Basshunter. 2009’s Bass Generation was his fifth album, and lead single “Every Morning” instantly broke through on the European charts. Here, it gets the remix treatment from Michael Mind, Headhunters, Hot Pink DeLorean, and others.
 

Erica Munday is New York’s DJ Strife. Her Sweet 16! mix album arranges a spread of drum and bass flavors that range from moving vocal tracks to the sounds of Brazil. The hour-long set comprises a selection of previously unreleased tracks of incredible quality. Play and enjoy.  

 

London’s Southern Fried Records is owned by the renowned electronic music producer Norman Cook, better known as Fatboy Slim. The label's six-track EP of Dubstep remixes gathers various music from their roster and treats it to a remixing by some of the top names in genre. Pretty straightforward, as the name suggests, but also entirely effective.

Pole Folder is a Bedrock Records act known for its progressive releases, but also more downtempo work as well. This week’s release features a Pole Folder special pushed to the limits in the capable hands of DJ/producer Sasha. The nine-minute track is an amazing piece of electronica with invigorating melodies, ambient vocal effects and driving rhythms.

It's great to see some electronica getting coverage, particularily the burgeoning genre of Dubstep. While all the tracks on "Dubstep Remixes" are pretty solid, the Skream remix stands out -- as expected. He's been killing it for awhile now and puts on a great live show.
