10. The Answer (Trentemoller Remix) - UNKLE

What a great start to May, and to warm weather.

9. Second Chance (RAC Mix) - Peter Bjorn & John

This is simply delightful, danceable yet very loungy.

8. Shelter - The XX

There are so many people recording "videos" to this song, but how can't you? It's moving. Check out the original and the remake by Hercules & Love Affair, of course them.

7. Contact High (Clock Opera Remix) - Architecture in Helsinki

Architecture in Helsinki never let me down.

6. ; John - iamamiwhoami

If you don't know about iamamiwhoami, then do yourself a favor, and log onto the "iamamiwhoami" channel on YouTube and watch the entire story. It's a series of videos with lucid and peculiar themes. This video and song are amazing!

5. If I Feel (Mladen Tomic Remix) - Manuel De La Mare

De La Mare is my new favorite house Dj. This Italian sensation never lets me down. Follow him on Twitter, he's always laying down the law! http://twitter.com/#!/ManuelDeLaMare

4. Dew Point - Answer42

This is a beautiful & melodious progressive beat, that will bring you to your senses.

3. Marsh (Original Mix) - Solarity

Progressive trance at its best!

2. Light Bulb (ANR Remix) - Rachel Goodrich

This beautiful indie pop thing keep popping into my ear drums, so I included it.

1. Brotherhood - Roddy Reynaert & Man of Good Will

This is one of the best progressive trance tracks that I've heard in the past 5 years. No lie. I'm sure this is a hit at Ministry of Sound in London, where trance still reigns!

NEW/OLD SHIZZ: Cocknbullkid + OLUGBENGA = Hold On To Your Mixtape

It's no surpirse that I am a beyond HUGE fan of Anita Blay, the UK native also known as Cocknbullkid. She's just a gem that's been dug up and finally given a record deal. Her lyrics hold so dear to us, I believe I mentioned in a previous post that her lyrical content are "significant scribblings of love any one in their right mind during their mid to late-20's need in their life".

We are eagerly awaiting her debut album Adulthood scheduled for release this spring. However, to hold us over Anita has blessed us with a fab mixtape of her back catalogue. We think it's in your best interest to download this shit, aside from the fact that it's free....IT'S FUCKING AMAZING!!!!

Be on the lookout for her debut cause it's guaranteed to be sweeeeet! We adore you Anita! Enjizzoy! -- MikeeGB

Top 10: February 2011

On the menu for this month: WMCesque stuff.

10. Take Me Over (Flight Facilities Remix) - Cut Copy

THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN! They've released their third album "Zonoscope" and it's fantastic (I'm not surprised).

Check out my favorite remix by Flight Facilities:

9. Trust & Believe - Jeannie

This hidden jewel is a must have for the electro pop lovers. In her new album titled "Ny To London" she's included remixes of legendary songs like "The Sign" of Ace of Base, and "All I See" by Kylie Minogue. The whole album is bliss, but I had to pick one.

8. Solardome (Original Mix) - Jayphonik

For the progressive house lovers, this one is definitely one to roll to. ;)

7. I Am The Beat (Treasure Fingers Remix) - Señor Stereo

At first it seemed corny, but then I couldn't get it out of my head, and plus I like the name of the remix "Treasure Fingers"... sounds like the name of a... never mind.

6. Sunlight (feat. Dan Black) - Bag Raiders

The song is phenomenal. I love the Cut Copy remixes that Bag Raiders have released, and when I did a quick wiki on them, I learned that they've released their own shit. I fell in love. Oh, another music producing duo from Australia!! P.S. The video = true love.

5. In Miami 2011 (Dj Wady and Outcode Remix) - Ricky Stone

I pay my respects to any song about Miami. After all, Miami is one of the pioneering cities of house music in the Western Hemisphere!!! WMC 2011 is here. Cheers! P.S. "Are you having fun ???? IN MIAMIIIIII"

4. Flash (Mixin Marc, Lex Da Funk Remix) - Green Velvet

I gooped when I heard this remix. The video is cool. Destination: IBIZA!

3. The Chase 2011 (Martin Brodin Remix) - Giorgio Moroder & Martin Brodin

I love remixes of old italo tracks. This almost made me cry. Can you guess the name of the original? No really, tell me because I forgot. Mikee????

2. Off (Original Mix) - Ministry Of Funk

This is a remix of "Off the Wall" by MJ. It's simply awesome.

1. Ocean (Ray Mang Mix) - 2020 Soundsystem

I fell in love instantly. This band is made up of 2 Brits and 2 Argentinians. REALLY? awesome. Hopefully I'll be in Argentina this summer, because from what I've seen the music scene in Buenos Aires is INSANE.
