The Glitch Mob - Drive It Like You Stole It (King Fantastic Remix)

This track is truly a work of art. Rarely does a track come along that merits so many repeats on one iTunes. The Glitch Mob is a group of three genii based in California. They are a trio of electronic/synth/dubstep/drum&bass/mash-up/pure gold producers who produced Drive It Like You Stole It. Check the original mix here. King Fantastic, also known as Killer Reece One,  decided to add lyrics to an already outstanding track, and the result is brilliance:
Drive It Like You Stole It (King Fantastic Remix)

The next mixtape is expected to be out on January 12th. Stay tuned.

David Guetta

Afrojack recently tackled Rihanna's 'Who's That Chick?', off of her new album, LOUD. Wouldn't you know it, the song features none other than Mr. House himself, David Guetta:
David Guetta feat. Rihanna - Whos That Chick (Afrojack Dub Remix)

aand here are another two expected to be on his next album. Just to let you know, the Akon track is the most annoying thing you'll see on this blog, but what the hell.
David Guetta - 50 Degrees (Original Mix)

Akon - Once Radio (feat. David Guetta)

It seems that for the time being David Guetta is content producing for other artists, including Rihanna, Akon, Kelly Rowland, etc, but there are rumors that the next album will be released next summer in time for the start of Ibiza-season. 

Axwell & Axtone & Co.

So what are you waiting for most in 2011? For many it will be Axwell's new release. Axwell has done well for himself this year, as an independent producer and as part of SHM. His latest release is already ripping up the dancefloor: 
Adrian Lux - Teenage Crime (Axwell & Henrik B Remode)

The next release off of his label, Axtone, won't feature him, but it is hugely anticipated. The track was debuted by Axwell on the Christmas Day Essential Mix, (check it out in the last post), and here's a first glimpse of it, albeit with Pump the Jam mixed in:

Two official remixes have been confirmed; one by Thomas Gold, and one by Hook N Sling & Goodwill. Listen to a couple of Hook N Sling & Goodwill remixes:
Janelle Monae - Tightrope (Hook N Sling & Goodwill Remix)

Miike Snow - Silvia (Hook N Sling & Goodwill Remix)

Track should be up on WYLSS as soon as its released!

The Essential Christmas Mix!!

Pete Tong brought 2010 to a stunning finish with the final Essential Mix of the year on Christmas morning.
