Artist Spotlight: Adventure Club

These guys got their start with production just last year and their stable of jams has become quite impressive.  They have a calm style to their dubstep, almost peaceful in spite of their uber-wobbly basslines.  Their favorite songs to remix are indie, which adds to their unique, addictive style.  I love dropping in one of their songs to transition out of some hip-hop when I’m spinning.  They’ve been blowing up Hype Machine and just set off on tour.  These guys are another one to watch and impress me with each new song they’re turning out almost every other week.  MyShuffle approved, here are my favorites:

“Ladi Dadi (Autoerotique Remix)” off Steve Aoki’s new Wonderland album

Steve Aoki put out his newest offering January 10 of this year.  It’s loaded with featured artists such as Lil Jon, Chiddy Bang, Kid Cudi, will.i.am (alias “Zuper Blahq), NERVO, and LMFAO.  In spite of these collab’s, there are actually some decent songs on the album.  I’m partial to the housy track “The 80s (ft. Angger Dimas)” and the dubstep banger ”Ooh (ft. Rob Roy),” though I could do without Rob Roy’s verses (Hint: someone remix that shit!!).

The long-haired owner of Dim Mak is also hosting a remix competition of “Ladi Dadi (ft. Wynter Gordon),” which got the music video treatment.  The contest runs through February 6th and the winner will be announced March 13th.  Fortunately for us, the song has already been mixed by the professionals including Tommy Trash and Pixel Cheese on Steve’s Ladi Dadi Remixes album that came out two days ago.  Autoerotique’s offering on the album blows away the other remixes and any original song on the Wonderland album in my opinion.  Check it out:

First thing’s first.

Hi, I’m Brooks Golden.  I love electronic music and MyShuffle is my music blog.

As an avid fan of EDM (i.e., Electronic Dance Music which encompasses House and it’s variations such as Electro House, Club House, Disco House, etc.; Techno; Trance; Synthpop; and newcomers Dubstep and Moombahton), I’ve watch its growth since I was young.  I remember loving Daft Punk’s single “Around The World” when it was on Chicago’s B96 radio station after it came out in 1997, and even 80’s attempts at electronic music like the synthpop group Yazoo, who’s greatest hits cassette my parents bought for me when I fell for their 1982 single “Situation”.  I frequently listened to eurodance albums like “Europop” by Eiffel 65 and “The Party Album” by the Vengaboys, and in highschool I even tracked down the student who submitted the trance house collection they occasionally played between passing periods for a copy.  Now, having amassed an extensive electronic music collection of my own from the past two decades, I have decided to share my hand-picked songs with the world wide web.

If you are just getting into the recent EDM fad, the plethora of online music apps and file hosting sites that let you download any song for free has made the discovery of new electronic music easier than ever.  I recommend Hype Machine and Spotify for those just trying to get into the genre or music in general… and MyShuffle, of course.

This first collection is a starter pack, a taste test of EDM, and more than enough to get your own collection started.  I originally compiled this selection to fit on a CD data disc (700 MB) for some friends visting from Australia as they toured the States.  I received a great review from them and have given the collection to a number of others who know I listen to a lot of electronic music.  This collection was made May 25, 2011 and features the best of my stuff for those just getting into the PEW PEW PEW, BUUUUM BEWWOWWMP & DA NA NA NA NA NA!!
