PRETTY PINK - HEY GIRL

Pretty Pink never ceases to amaze. Her new track "Hey Girl" combines all the elements of deep house, indie dance, and funk to make for a killer groove track. 

MARKUS COLE - YOU SHOULD BE DANCING

Markus Cole masterfully remixes the classic Bee Gee's track "You Should Be Dancing" into a modern nu-disco, groove track. Hear more of his mixes on his Soundcloud.

BLONDESOUND - FOOLISH

Something we've noticed about writing about music is that our favorite song changes - every single day in fact. It needs to change though, because once we find it, we drive that thing so far into the ground we start to hate it. What's great about the world of EDM, though, is that there is never a shortage of artists, producers, or sounds, and that translates into a renewal of songs we thought we had cast off long ago. Cue Blondesound and their track Foolish. Adam Englefield and Jacob Manson, from the UK, put out one of our favorite songs a few months ago, and once the stems started to spread, the remixes started to flood in. We can't pick a favorite, but maybe you can. Listen to the tracks below and tweet us to let us know your favorite!

JOSE GONZALEZ - STEP OUT (THE CHAINSMOKERS REMIX)

I've said it before and I'll say it again, The Chainsmokers can do no wrong. Just released on their Soundcloud is a a deep remix from Jose Gonzalez . The new track is a long way from their bouncy bass-heavy #SELFIE that they are known for. If you are looking for a soulful house groove, check out the track below. 

FUNK FRIDAY

The use of electronica in music makes nearly every song mixable. This versatility has led to an incredible amount of sub-genres within the electronic music scene. The overwhelming majority of well-known electronic music falls in the big room/house/dubstep side leaving many other tracks and mixes unknown. Funk Friday is dedicated to these  sub-genres; everything including swing, funk, blues, groove, and more. Check out some of my favorites below.

Defunk classifies his track, "The Waltz", as a groove track. The groove sub-genre of electronic music is considered more of and overarching classification stemming from the use of drums, guitar, and keyboard as opposed to heavy synth or bass. 

"The Viper" by Play Dirty is heavy on the swing loops, iconic to the period of the flappers and big bands of the 1920's, giving it the four-on-the-floor baseline and fusing it with jazz loops gives it the electroswing sound.
