Spencer & Hill

If you like electro house with great vocals, then your'e gonna like Spencer & Hill. Another Germany-based pair of artists, Spencer & Hill have so many different aliases that its sometimes difficult to know who made what your'r listening to. Manuel Reuter (Josh Hill) is part of Cascada, Liz Kay, MYC, Plazmatek, and a host of others, and I don't know much about Manuel Schleis (Spencer). Whatever their names are and whatever they work on, its the end result we're interested in and Spencer & Hill is rock-solid. 
Their Compilation mixtape, 'Housebeats 1' came out last January, and there are rumors that Housebeats 2 might be coming out this January, so here's hoping. Their latest album, 'The Funky Years', was released in September, and I suggest you get that. If you're broke, please tune in here:
Spencer and Hill have a thing for remixing R.I.O.
R.I.O. - Shine On (Spencer & Hill Remix)

R.I.O. - When The Sun Comes Down (Spencer & Hill Remix Club Edit)

R.I.O. - Rio (S & H Project Remix)

Considered by some to be the best when it comes to electro house, Spencer & Hill's tracks are undoubtedly energetic, and if you're having house party, as in a party in your house, this is the stuff you wanna be rocking out to. 
Spencer & Hill - Get It On (Club Mix)

Spencer & Hill - Housebeat (Original Mix)

Spencer and Hill - Cool (Afrojack Remix)

Spencer & Hill – Dub Disco (Lucky Date Remix)

and a personal favourite of mine:
Spencer And Hill - Right On Time (Original Mix)

Enjoy!

Dada Life and LA Riots

Dada Life just love their fans, and out of pure generosity and some festive spirit, have provided us with the December Mix. In all honesty I haven't had time to listen to this, but enjoy! You can usually bet on Dada Life being quality. Download it here.
Here's the tracklist:
Crystal Fighters – Swallow (Angger Dimas Club Remix)
Designer Drugs – Through the Prism (Dada Life Remix)
The Subs vs Les Petits Pilous – My Body
Deadmau5 – Cthulhu Sleeps
autoKratz – Opposite of Love (Les Petits Pilous Remix)
Afrojack – Replica (Original Mix)
John Dahlback – Kairo
Lunde Bros. – Blablabla (2010 Re-edit)
Green Velvet – Flash (Nicky Romero Remix)
Cosmic Gate – Fire Wire (Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Remix)
Benny Benassi – House Music (Autoerotique’s explode the club Remix)
TAI & Aoki – Paradise Poltergeist (LA Riots Remix)
Angger Dimas – Are You Ready

One of the remixes is by LA Riots, a self-described electronic music/indie group. Their music is pretty interesting. And by interesting I mean good.
Warrior (LA Riots Remix)

Sound Of Stereo - Zipper (LA Riots Remix)

Crystal Castles - Crimewave (LA Riots Remix)

Enjoy!

Nadia Ali and Hardwell

One of the new tracks off of Nadia Ali's Queen of Clubs: Diamond Edition. Hardwell doesn't disappoint. If you haven't heard Hardwell's Bootleg of ONE check it here.
Nadia Ali - At The End (Hardwell Extended Mix)

At The End was originally the second single to be released by iiO, but was a failure compared to their massive first hit, Rapture. Enjoy.

Tiesto - Escape Me

There's a reason Tiesto has been voted one of the Top 3 Best DJs by DJ Mag for the past 9 years, and its tracks like this. Although Tiesto's music is usually classified as trance, he incorporates a lot of what most people would call house into his style, and the result is what you have here. I personally feel that when it comes to Tiesto and remixes, he should be the one doing the remixes, instead of remixes being done of his work, but Avicii, who is on fire at the moment equals if not betters Tiesto's mix. Check them both out:
Tiesto feat C.C. Sheffield - Escape Me (Original Club Mix)

Tiƫsto - Escape Me (Avicii At Night Remix)

If these don't make you wanna get up and go crazy, then you should see a professional for your condition.
Enjoy!
