riya - Shoujo no Gensou ZTS Remix

Coming your way, it's riya's Shoujo no Gensou (The Girl's Fantasy, 少女の幻想), remixed by ZTS.
The result is most pleasing; almost 11 minutes of uplifting trance with soothing vocals. This song was featured on the Megumeru/Dango Daikazoku CD, which in addition to this track contains the opening and ending theme from the Clannad TV anime.

Take your socks off, put your headphones on, and lay down and enjoy 11 minutes of weeaboo serenity.

"Overnight"- Hudson Mohawke

"Overnight" can not be easily categorized. With hints of glitch, soul, trip-hop, and experimental, Hudson Mohawke's songs are hot enough to dance to, yet cool enough to blast through your lowrider's subwoofers as you cruise through town. It is a song that can only be described as a chopped up mix of a Jay-Z and Aphex Twin, something that must be heard to be fully understood. Turn your speakers up, relax, and let "Overnight" take you away.

Tiësto - Kaleidoscope

I recently went and acquired Tiësto's new album, Kaleidoscope, and what can I say, I don't like it much. Instead of the typical rich Tiësto sound I'm used to, this album had a more generic club sound to it, and some of the tracks had a minimal melodic sound to them. The entire album is up for streaming on Last.FM, but I suggest you listen to Kaleidoscope and L.A. ride and find something else to use your Internets on. A wonderful example of such a thing is ATB's album, Movin' Melodies. Ten years earlier than Kaleidoscope, better music, almost same country.
Tracks like 9pm (Till I Come), Killer 2000 and Obsession make this an outstanding album which every electronic music enthusiast should have, whether you like club tunes or chillout. Maybe not so much for the DnB/hardstyle crowd, but it's undeniably a great album. The soundtrack of your life, if your life consisted of having sex on board an ekranoplan before shooting yourself.

"Awesome"- The Bloody Beetroots ft. The Cool Kids

With only one full album under their belts, the Beetroots are already making their impression in the electronic scene. With pounding bass, hectic drumlines, and screaming synth, the Italian duo brings their own punk rock influence to electronic music. This is easy to see with their newest single, "Awesome", a collaboration with the alternative rap group "The Cool Kids". The track gives the listener a good taste of what the duo describes as one of their shows; "epileptic fits, drug abuse, brawls, and all knobs on ten".
