Madeon- Icarus (Collin McLoughlin Vocal Edit)

24 Apr

Collin McLoughlin has done the unthinkable.

Not only did he keep the best parts of Icarus intact but he recreated Madeon’s breakout hit with new vocals and a monstrous buildup.

Check out more from Collin on Soundcloud and get yourself reaquainted with ‘Icarus’.

Danny Brown- Blunt After Blunt (3:33 Remix)

24 Apr

We knew Danny Brown went hard on ‘Blunt After Blunt’ but 3:33 took things to a whole new level.

This gives me the same feeling that D12- Fight Music did back in 2001. That ‘I want to head bang and maybe punch someone in the face feeling’.

Enjoy responsibly

Bangers & Mash

23 Apr

This feature started as a random post to catch up on missed mashups/bootlegs but it has quickly turned into your average ‘Mashup Monday’.

And how could it not? With guys like Kaskade, 3LAU, Kap Slap & Basic Physics all releasing FREE tunes on the same day… eat your hearts out

Dante Leon- Northern Lights

20 Apr

Dante Leon has been on our radar since his Charlie Darker-Vader collab blew the roof off and he’s back with a solo album which dropped at 4:20 today.

The album starts off with the flawless single ‘Northern Lights’ which is a perfect introduction into the r&b-electronic-experimental hip hop journey that Dante takes us through.

At Dawn We Rage – Chill Out, You’re Already A Winner

20 Apr

This track is now considered an essential addition to your playlist today so D/L it blindly… and a few words from At Dawn We Rage while you wait.

Free tune I wrote last night paying homage to the “old” style of dubstep that made me fall in love with this genre. Chill out and roll one up

Deadmau5- The Veldt (Original Mix)

20 Apr

 

‘The Veldt’ has been unleashed tonight airing on Pete Tong’s radio show.

If you’ve been following Deadmau5 on Ustream you’ve seen bits and pieces of it but the final product is stunning. The bassline is magical and the Chris James twitter hook-up was genius. It doesn’t get much more euphoric than this…

Sultan & Ned Shepard ft. Quilla- Walls (Original Mix)

20 Apr

Tiesto’s Club Life Vol. 2 is four days away from being released in North America but thanks to our friends over in Sweden/Germany we have an early sneak peak at the star studded album.

The highlight for me is the collaboration of two of Canada’s finest producers with vocalist Quilla to create this beautifully crafted proggy house number.

‘Walls’ is much aligned with Sultan & Ned Shepard’s previous work such as ‘Call My Name’ & ‘In The Air’ and will satisfy both the softer house heads and raging club-goers alike. 

Grab ‘Walls’ below and pre-order your copy of Club Life Vol. 2 Miami HERE

‘Smokin & Ridin’ was produced by Street Blaze and will be featured on the upcoming project Smart Is The New Gangsta alongside Junnie Mac.

Grab yourself a copy below and make sure if you’re Smokin & Ridin to keep that seatbelt on… safety first people

Lights- Toes (Paul David Remix)

20 Apr

Paul David always has something new up his sleeve.

This time around he gets his filthy little electro house hands on the ‘Toes’ single from Lights. This has the Burner Records certified club banger written all over it.

Download it below and check out more on Soundcloud

Mac Miller- 1 Threw 8 (Prod. Black Diamond)

19 Apr

Sometimes new releases stack up past the point of No Return.

Weeks have passed since Mac Miller dropped his latest mixtape but we couldn’t let it sit another day. For those of you who have been slacking, you can thank us later because your 4/20 just got better.

’1 Threw 8′ is the highlight of the album. It has all the elements of a winning track- a great beat, insightful lyricism and a sexy french chick. ‘Clarity’ falls in a close second and brings another chilled out vibe to Macadelic.

Martin Roth- Make Love To Me Baby (Original Mix)

16 Apr

I don’t know about you but music selection is 100% contextual for me.

It’s sunday night, you’re chilling after a big weekend and the only thing you need is some deep house from Martin Roth.

His new EP dropped on Anjunadeep and it’s phenomenal.

Roger Sanchez – Another Chance (Maison & Dragen Miami 2012 Bootleg Remix)

14 Apr

Maison & Dragen have been a tear with their Martin Solveig remix (see below) and things don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

They dropped the Miami Bootleg today on Soundcloud and it’s exactly what you would expect from the duo- bouncy feel-good house music.

The Dirty Tees- Maestro (Original Mix)

13 Apr

The Dirty Tees have unofficially released the FIRST single off their forthcoming EP and in one word… WOW!

They completely blindsided me with the club banger calibre vocals/baseline/drops and midway electro change-up. These guys continue to impress and if this is a sign of things to come, we are all in for a big tasty Canadian made treat.

Lana Del Ray- Video Games (Jakwob & Etherwood Remix)

12 Apr

With all the ‘Video Games’ remixes floating around it would be foolish to ignore the exceptional drum n bass cut from Jakwob & Etherwood.

This was released back in October and hits harder than the majority of the remixes (with the exception of Cazzette’s).

Chase and Status & Sub Focus- Flashing Lights Ft. Takura (Mac Miller Remix)

11 Apr

We robbed you of the Macadelic album so it was a necessity to shed some light on the new Mac Miller remix of one of Chase & Status’s biggest anthems.

Miller jumps on ‘Flashing Lights’ and puts fourth a mediocre effort but lets the instrumentals shine through his simplistic verses. It’s really the combination of dubstep and hip hop that make this worth listening to and if I’m being honest, Mac could have been replaced with Lil Romeo and I still would have been intrigued.

Bangers & Mash

10 Apr

Every week the Ambassador Beats inbox gets filled up with music submissions and every week there seems to be proportionately more mashups than any other genre.

The appeal has been on a steady incline since pioneers like Girl Talk and The Hood Internet kick started one of electronic music’s greatest sub-genres. Call it art, piracy or a guilty pleasure- either way it’s in our face and i’m not arguing.

Cosmic Gate & Jes- Flying Blind (Tom Fall Remix)

4 Apr

Over the past year Tom Fall has gone from being one of the best kept secrets to one of the most sought after artists in a sea of rising stars. 

His set in ASOT 550 was massive and since then the ID tracks and remixes have been pouring out. He continues to push the genre blending boundaries with this stunning remix of Cosmic Gate’s latest release on Black Hole Recordings titled ‘Flying Blind’ featuring Jes.

Driving basslines, orgasmic buildups and goose-bump inducing vocals make this a serious contender for remix of the year in my books.

Do yourself a favour and grab this track as well as the entire remix pack from beatport

D.Ramirez- Won’t Give Up (Original Club Mix)

4 Apr

When it comes to tech-house D.Ramirez and the Toolroom Records family are untouchable.

Their latest EP ‘Get Down’ features two humongous tracks including the infectious anthem featured below.

‘Won’t Give Up’ has a tribal edge filled with the classic ‘I can’t give in I won’t give up’ sample and some epic buildups.

This has a straight up ‘still raving at 5am let’s kick this party into overdrive’ feel to it so turn it up and don’t give in…
