NEW “Lightspeed (Original Mix)” by Datsik & Kill the Noise

You know when you see when you see a collab of the right artists and the words “original mix” and know shit is going to be good?  You know that feeling after the first few beats of a song that you don’t even need to hear the rest to now going to like it?  Welcome to the new banger from Datsik and Kill the Noise who have both been killing it on the production lately. MyShuffle approved, add to your shuffle immediately.  Lightspeed everybody:

Cherry Coke EP

Artist Spotlight: Cherry Coke

Last fall, an Avicii song popped up on the internet titled “Three Chord Revolution.”  A few months later another Avicii jam called “The New Day (2012 Edit)” came out.  Sure enough, like another falsified Daft Punk song, these songs were not Avicii.  The practically unknown Polish producer Cherry Coke claims this mistaken praise.

This progressive house artist has been making clubby house anthems since 2009.  His mastered works which number over 40 remixes and original songs have Avicii’s distinctive uplifting choruses and synthy builds with a decidedly more electro drop akin to Alesso.  Unlike these club house greats, you won’t find Cherry Coke’s songs posted all over YouTube and Zippyshare.  Recent hits like “Milky Way” and “Take It To The Top” that earned the Avicii mislabels above and the latter a spot on Avicii’s radio show Levels above have turned some ears.  He has also announced an upcoming EP with label TUFFEM UP! records.  The albums artwork is pictured above and the release date is yet to be announced.

Finding his MP3′s took me deeper than your typical Google search and quickly proved everything he touches is gold.  Today’s MyShuffle collection is my selection of the best of his best.  Let me be the first to say, all comparisons aside, Cherry Coke is a great artist you’ll be hearing a lot more about soon.

Cherry also put out what is possibly my favorite song of his to date just a few days ago on his SoundCloud.  Check it out:

“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:

Carl Cox @ NCMF 9/3/11

This is the first of a few belated posts I’ve decided to add to this blog.  MyShuffle has long been a mental work-in-progress and the culmination of a number of friends who have asked me for music.  One of the collections I threw together was from Carl Cox’s North Coast Music Festival set at Union Park in Chicago.  The set was about an hour long and the absolute highlight of our day among other greats such as Major Lazer, Zed’s Dead, Fatboy Slim, and an excellent live electro performance by Felix Cartel.  NCMF was the first time I’ve seen Cox live and heard his unique British house style.  There is something about the way the jolly giant bounces with his upbeat set.  He’s been one of the longest in the game and his experience shows.  His selection was all uniquely Cox including classics like “Percolator” and “Let Me See You Work”.  I tracked down some of the other hits from his setlist for you to enjoy here:

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!!
