Cosmo Baker- February's Top Ten Mix

Cosmo Baker's got that creative and different style of house that we appreciate at WYLSS. This is the kind of music you can have on in your room, at a party, in your car, whatever. It always works, and I guess that's the brilliance behind it. Here is what the Baker himself had to say:
"Okay here’s my February Top Ten List in full downloadable and jammable form. I know I’m dropping this a little early but whatever, it’s done and I just want to get it out there. And you know, I’m always looking towards the future anyway. So here’s the scoop, here’s 10+ songs that really moved me and made an impact over the past month. I’ve played a lot of these out at gigs, jammed seriously HARD to a bunch of them in the crib or the iPhone, and just basically got it in with these tunes. A cross section of joints, but that’s where I am as a DJ and a music head – I like pretty much everything. So I hope you enjoy this month’s installment. And remember, if you like any of these tunes, support the artist by going out and BUYING their tunes, either in retail stores or online. And if you have a chance to seem them perform live, these artists and DJs, DO IT."
Sounds good to me. Enjoy:

A Lot Of Love From Brasil!!

WYLSS is getting a lot of love from Brazil. I guess I always associated music from Brazil with hot girls in thongs at the Rio Carnival, but there is a growing electro house and techno trend that's starting to become realised around the world. One of the main examples of this is that Sensation White have hosted parties in Brazil for the past couple of years. Anyways, here are our friends Criminal Minds once again, this time going in hard on a Deadmau5 track:
  Deadmau5 - The Reward Is Fucking Cheese (Criminal Minds Mashup) by criminalminds
I've also got some tracks from a few new artists that I hadn't heard about before. They all produce electro house, which I'm pretty sure you'll take a liking to. First up is HAS!. HAS! produces a fusion of electro and techno, but the end product is pretty smooth. We don't post a lot of techno on WYLSS, but if you're into it then definitely check this guy out:
  Gustavo Mota - Doctor Blue (Has! Remix) by HAS!
Download
  The Boomzers - WTF! (Has! Official Remix) by HAS!
Next up is Gerra G. This is more like the kind of stuff we usually post on WYLSS; electro house with a bit of creativity that turns normal tracks, into good tracks, and good tracks into great ones.
  Aqualight - I am Dancing ( Gerrá G. Remix ) by Gerrá G.
Gerra G looks to have a big future ahead of him, as he has already signed on to prestigious Toronto-based label BugEyed Records.
  Gerrá G. & Lewis - After Torn ( Gerrá G. Remix ) by Gerrá G.
  Gerrá G. -Some Wings by Gerrá G.
Finally, we got E-Cologyk, another electro-house duo that sprung up in the past year and that has people talking. They name fellow Brazilian producers Darth & Vader and Zedd (who is signed on to BugEyed Records) as their influences, among others. Sounds good to me.

Criminal Minds!

A couple of weeks ago WYLSS posted about Criminal Minds, who are part of a new trend of Brazilian house. They've just released a new track, check it out:
  Criminal Minds - Learning (Original Mix) by criminalminds
The heavy bass and drums from usually associated with dubstep feature in Criminal Minds' work, but they integrate to form their own style, which is pretty cool.
More from them soon.

Bassworm? YES PLEASE

Bassworm is an up'n'coming one. The thing that makes him stand out is the fact that he's different. And being different is always cool. I don't really know how to some up his music. It's progressive house, but a more creative label is needed. This is his description: 
I think music nowadays is getting way too generic, not that that's a bad thing, but I get tired of it once in a while. So I decided to follow generic format songs and infuse them with my own kind of musical disorder as to not bore listeners with the same kind of crap they listen to over and over again, 
Sincerly, 
Bassworm

Maybe that will shed some light on it. It definitely isn't everybody's cup of tea, but just listen and figure it out for yourselves.

  Marcio Lama - BOO! (Original Mix) by Bassworm
  Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again (Marcio Lama Trance Bootleg Mix) by Bassworm
So, what did you think?

The Magician

A while ago I posted a Lykke Li track that had been remixed by The Magician called I Follow Rivers. The Magician is an artist who is a bit of a mystery (if you hadn't realised by the choice of name and picture yet) but who is undeniably talented. Check out the track in this post. And tune in below:
