Welcome to beatpills – R U addicted ?
David Guetta – I Can Only Imagine (feat. Chris Brown & Lil Wayne)
Here goes probably the most anticipated track (well other than that Avicii collabo) off David Guetta’s forthcoming LP, Nothing But The Beat. As you can see, the European sensation recruits the dynamic duo of Lil Breezy. Yes I just can up with that name all on my own. Anywho, obviously this is a banger. Enjoy…

DJT3K – Lookin For Sizzurp (Lil Wayne Vs Pretty Lights)
DJ T3K has produced a mashup up masterpiece by simultaneously combining Lil Wayne’s ‘Ice Cream Paint Job,’ ‘Hustler Musik,’ ‘Steady Mobbin,’ ‘Phone Home,’ and ‘Zoom’ with Pretty Lights’ ‘Looking For Love (But Not So Sure)’ off their Glowing In The Darkest Night EP. This might be one of my favorite mashups that I’ve ever heard, and this track definitely needs to gain the attention it deserves. Kick back, turn up your speakers, and enjoy!

Neon Indian – Polish Girl
Impressive soundscapes and trippy synths. I have to say Neon Indian has his sound truly mastered. I love this track, such a good vibe.
EEKO – Chest Hair to Match (Summer 2011 Mix)
This mix is a collection of my favorite summer tunes featuring some of the youngest guns in the game; Zedd, Alesso, R3hab, and Madeon being the main building blocks. Like all of my mixes I tried incorporating all different sounds/genres from progressive to electro to nu-disco and mashing them all together. Lastly, I’ve incorporated some of my own nasty bootlegs to give it that EEKO touch. Download it. Make love to it. I won’t get jealous.

Afrojack, Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike & Nervo – The Way We See The World (Tomorrowland Anthem)
Afrojack, Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike & Nervo join forces to create this insane track.
Zomboy – Organ Donor
Here is a new unreleased track from Zomboy forthcoming on his ‘Game Time‘ EP. This track harnesses Zomboy’s style in a frightening yet intriguing plethora of organ/circus sounding synths matched with heavy bass and in your face wobbles. Enjoy these deathly sounds and keep your eye out for the ‘Game Time‘ EP being released on August 8th
Revenge Of The Synth: Electrixx | Mord Fustang | R3hab | Lazy Rich
A short time ago, in the galaxy we live in, a few progressive minds with a different outlook on music began to experiment with modern technology, in turn creating a new form of musical expression through electronic pathways. This path wasn’t trodden, and no one knew where this path would lead, but those adventurous souls pushed the limits of the relationship between technology and music, in turn leading us to this moment where the one thing we share in common is dance. Now, in the era of today, Electronic Dance Music threatens to shake the foundation of music around the world. There is no holding back our tunes, our people, or our future. Witness the Revenge of the Synth.
Dev – Dancing In the Dark (DJ Kue Remix) : Sick New Electro Remix
Dancing in the Dark continues to get played all over so it’s only fitting we get another BANGER remix to it. The Proper Villians dubstep remix was pretty epic, but now here’s an electro/house remix from DJ Kue, the guy who brought the epic Mike Posner – Cheated, Hall and Oates, and Black and Yellow remixes to name a couple. It’s a really well done with remix with some infectious synths and basslines, keeping the horns, combined with Dev’s voice for a serious club or party hit. Turn it up, enjoy!
Minnesota – Ancient Machines
Minnesota has recently been hard at work producing dubstep gems as he just released an EP with DeathStar (His collab project with MartyParty) and now this Ancient Machines EP. The 3 track EP is filled with dub that will put you in a state of pure relaxation while still incorporating those lovely heavy-bass synth drops and groovability. Making tracks that are so versatile that they can be enjoyed anywhere from relaxing in your room to grooving on the dancefloor is what makes Minnesota and his style of dubstep so exciting
Savoy – I’m In Need : Filthy Must Hear New Dubstep BANGER [EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD]
Savoy, the trio that was from Boulder and now lives in New York just dropped their latest anthem, the highly anticipated dubstep BANGER ‘Im In Need’ following up Get Static and Get Some Action (Ft. Beastie Boys) to name a few. This was a new direction for Savoy, so you knew it had to sound a little different then most dubstep tracks you hear. It’s got a real powerful buildup with catchy vocal sample, then it drops and shit gets real. The bass goes in every which direction leaving the listener with their jaw dropped trying to focus on what’s going on. This track has got a super filthy dubstep sound, but still maintains the feel good house vibe with it being at 133 bpm. This is one of Savoy’s first for-sale releases so support through Beatport here. Luckily we’ve worked with the group to get the exclusive free download of the song, but for all the Dj sand those and want the full quality track purchase here. Turn the bass up all the way, enjoy!
EYES – KASKADE FEAT. MINDY GLEDHILL
Kaskade rarely ever fails on his releases, and this is one of his biggest in a long time. I’ve yet to see the man live, but that will end shortly come IDentity Festival out on Jones Beach in about 2 weeks. If you’re going to be there, hit up the CB crew because we will obviously be riding in style. I don’t even know what that means, but check out this track for your healthy listening pleasure. The cut has yet to be released so the quality is poor to say the least. Shout out to the man, the myth, the legend H Brett for all the support. Cheers.
Transatlantis – Van O
Van O has struck again, this time in the form of a progressive house tune that has me vibin. With a very modular Deadmau5ish sound featuring some really wonderful builds this track just has soul. The build up to the drop at 4:30 is really what makes the song for me. Van O has ventured into other waters before and this track has turned the same result, a great piece of work.
David Guetta ft. Sia – Titanium : Must Hear New House / Electronic Anthem
Today we’ve got the latest anthem from one of the biggest names in electronic music from his upcoming albumNothing But the Beat. It’s got a real smooth summer feel throughout, with some amazing buildups, happy synths and basslines, classic samples, and some vocals from Australian singer Sia. Guetta really knows how to make an anthem. Turn this up, enjoy!
TAKE YOU HIGHER (CLUB MIX) – GOODWILL & HOOK N SLING
WORK HARD PLAY HARD
A new tune from Tïesto that I’m hoping will get some major play-time in the club. Officially released only yesterday, this track is straight electro fire with a ridiculous build-up, an even more ridiculous drop, and some damn sexy female vocals (and this coming from a chick herself). A surefire fist-pumper of a song, kind of appeals to us lyrically. Of course, my personal philosophy would be to work hard, and play harder, but hey, when you’re Tïesto, I’m sure they both find a way to even out.
Press play to get the party started.
Skizzy Mars – Tara : Chill New Summer Hip – Hop Song
Skizzy Mars is back with another must hear track. This song is a little more chilled out than Profound (, but sick nonetheless. This time he’s throwing his addictive flow over another great beat produced by david Yassky. If you recognize the sample congratulations It’s that old summertime jam Don’t Speak by No Doubt. The duo keeps coming out with songs that get stuck on repeat on my summer playlists. Roll up a blunt, pop a bottle and enjoy this song.
TJR – One Love
TJR (TJ Rozdilsky) first crossed our sights when he opened for the Dada Life during their show at the Wavehouse. TJR manned the decks and proceeded to throw down one of the freshest, funkiest, complex sets to hit that stage. The crowd was loving every minute of it and rightfully so. TJR dropped his latest release, a remix of the legend Bob Marley’s ‘Could You Be Loved’, on us then and we listened, danced and sung in giddy amazement. TJR officially released this sweet little gem to eagerly awaiting fans. He’s been smashing southern California clubs on the regular so if you have the opportunity to catch his set, don’t pass it up.
Skrillex – Voltage (Live Preview)
No shock here, Skrillex continues to stun the EDM universe with his live shows and larger live life tunes. HARD Summer will be Skrillex’ biggest LA show to date and you can bet it’s going to be electrifying. Check out some unreleased logik he’s been cooking up in the spare time that he has. Might we get to rock out to this at HARD? We shall see.
Major Lazer vs Japan
Getting some exposure and even some acknowledgement from Major Lazer on his Facebook page, we have the product of a single minded attempt to alleviate boredom and entertain you boys and girls for the lulz.
UNDERWORLD – DIAMOND JIGSAW (MOGUAI REMIX)
When scouring the net for the creme de la creme, there are a couple of names that always catch my eye and command a listen. Moguai is one of them. His stuff isn’t jaded yet like some of the big names out there, and he releases music when it’s worth releasing. Here is a electric remix of Underworld’s track “Diamond Jigsaw”. Not kidding about the electric thing…it actually sounds like a gajillion watts went into this one. Cheers.
Nero ft. Sub Focus – Promises Skrillex & Nero
WAKE UP!
As my Monday is drawing to an end and my eyes are starting to get more and more tired, Skrillex & Nero have plans to stop any action going towards sleep. Teaming up and remixing Nero’s “Promises”, they create a nice and grimey dubstep track that will get you goin’ in a second. I don’t have much else to say here other than turn it up and rock out. Enjoy!
AZARII & III – MANIC
Drake – Headlines (Prod. Boi-1da & 40)
The first single off Drake’s sophomore album Take Care is finally here! The name of the first single is “Headlines” with production from fellow Toronto natives, Matthew “Boi-1da” Samuels and Noah “40″ Shebib, who have collaborated together with Drake on “Over” and “Miss Me” from Drake’s debut albumThank Me Later. This will most likely be available for purchase on iTunes on Tuesday, but Drake unleashed the song for free for now. Enjoy!
Kanye West & Jay-Z – Otis : New Chill Hip-Hop Song
Kanye West and Jay-Z have finally dropped another single off their collaboration album Watch the Throne. Following up H.A.M., which ended up becoming a regular part of many American’s vocabularies, as well as a pretty good song, here’s the second single. It’s called Otis, and it’s defintely alot more chill and laid back then I would have thought. There’s a sample of Otis Redding throughout the track giving it a real soulful vibe. Although I know both artists can both go harder, they do kill it on this track. Can’t wait to hear the rest of Watch the Throne, due out August 1st. Check this out, chill, enjoy!
Hard-Fi – Fire In The House (Tiesto Remix)
Just in case you haven’t had enough Tiesto recently, here’s another one of his remixes. Hard-Fi surprised me as their sound is far from what this remix sounds like. In a not so good way. If you weren’t aware, Tiesto is headlining the first day of Electric Zoo and with the new sounds he’s been putting out, anything is expected. This track was officially released on the 7th and can be purchased on iTunes.
So I came upon this preview and though its a little unorthodox, I had to post it. I know absolutely nothing of Gosteffects but there has been some serious buzz surrounding the guy lately and had to check out for myself. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. These previews are all awesome. It goes on a full tour of electro, tech, dutch, and dubstep styles but all seems to stay to a particular vibe. I’ve bought into his music though and apparently over 13 thousand people on facebook have as well. He has 11 previews in the six minute mix and its hard for me to pick a favorite (though I do see Yeah, and You Are Mine being big ones). Out of New York, this guy lists death as his major influence. If this is what death is like, it doesn’t seem all that bad. No current tour dates are set for Gosteffects but expect to hear more soon. This guy seems like he’s only bound to blow up.
Dillon Francis – Beautician 2.0
The prince of moombahton, Dillon Francis, does a little re-take on Beautician, the dubstep banger he gave out for free a little while ago, turning it into a melodic moombah masher. What’s new? Nothing – he still has serious skills. Look for 2.0 to be featured on the Mad Decent Volume One compilation due out Friday, July 29th!
“Party Rock Anthem (Feat. Lauren Bennett) (Artistic Raw Bootleg)” by LMFAO
For lack of a better word, this is hot. Artistic Raw, who hails from the Netherlands, dropped this two days ago, and it’s by far my favorite remix/bootleg/whatever I’ve heard of this song. I hope the radio hasn’t gotten you too annoyed with LMFAO, but even if it has, this remix will wet your taste buds for some party rockin.
The S – Death & Rainbows (Original Mix)
The dudes known as The S have appeared on our pages before mainly due to their above par remixing ability. It’s about time they were given a proper feature and what better time than the release of their MASSIVE Death & Rainbows EP. The S (Bizzo and Alvin) formed during early 2009 after a chance meeting in the mean streets of Italy. The duo loves to create epic melodies and infuse them with that aggressive electro sound of the underground. This melodic yet fierce production style which shines in their latest Death & Rainbows EP. Europeans really are spoiled with groups like The S and F.O.O.L touring all over their clubland. Be sure to buy their EP on Beatport so they can come tour in the US
Rogerseventytwo – You Take Me Higher (Geisha Twins ‘Late For Work’ Edit)
The revival of Rogerseventytwo‘s disco jam Take Me Higher was somewhat surprising but awesome all the same, and hearing the track during sets from Dada Life and A-Trak recently affirms the central message of the track as it literally takes you waaaaay higher. We thought the track couldn’t get anymore hip, but our friends Geisha Twins, who we like to call the disco dons of SD, did a sick re-work and are giving it out for FREE for reaching 1K fans on facebook and 2K on soundcloud. Be sure to support them by liking their facebook and following their soundcloud.
Oh, and if for some unholy reason you missed out on our SL exclusive with the Geisha Twins, peep it here. It’s sweet, and there’s an exclusive mix that literally might set your house on fire. It’s damn good.
