I stumbled upon an electro house duo by the name of Valerna last month. Admittedly, I am not a big fan of their original productions. Their remixes are a totally different story, however. Their Busta Rhymes remix is a mix of a freight-train lead, background noise, and a kick that punches through the wall. The ”Narcotics’ remix is non-stop energy with a vocal cut over the top to provide something to scream about. I have also included one of their original productions ‘Wait a Minute’ so you can decide for yourself.

This track by the Swedish House Mafia (Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angelo, Axwell) along with Laidback Luke released this track in early 2009. It was instantly dubbed as the “House Track of the Year.” The vocal sample embodies everything that the culture represents while the production is absolutely on-point with what house music should sound like. Certainly not a new track, but I stumbled across the video again this weekend while putting together a DVD of music videos for a limo ride and, well, thought I would post it for those of you who havn’t seen it. Click “more” to see the video.

Another mix from John Blaze, “Ctrl+Alt+Del” was made a few months ago. We recently found the master MP3 version of the mix, so I thought I would post it for your listening pleasure. No tracklist available but you should recognize some of these tunes! I’ll keep this post short and sweet and let the music speak for itself. Look for a mix from newcomer DJs DZSOUNDZ later in the week!
