Here are (by domain) my favorite of 2010

Favorite "Featuring" Artist

Ok, so I have been insanely busy lately but it seems that as occupied as I may be, there is a group that keeps on showing up everywhere I go. I was on my way home from a new year's party downtown last night when I realized: "Damn, Foreign Beggars are awesome!" They have been remixed and used in so many genres of electro lately that you can rarely go to a good party where they aren't played. They've not only helped Noisia in their meteoric rise to fame but have also contributed to Flux Pavilion, Skrillex and many more. This post is a tribute to them and all they've done to the dubstep, breakbeat and D & B scene this year. Here are my top three.

1- Contact - Noisia (ft. Foreign Beggars)

2- Typhoon - Foreign Beggars (ft.Chasing Shadows)

3- Lines in Wax - Flux Pavilion (ft. Foreign Beggars)

Favorite Remixed Artist

Contrary to the Foreign Beggars, the next group is a lot lighter. The Two Door Cinema club is an alternative rock band from Northen Ireland. Their album "Tourist History" is just awesome. They are so upbeat and energetic that a large amount of artists use their music to get the crowd moving. This is why they are my favorite remixed artists of the year. Top three!

1- Something Good Can Work - Two Door Cinema Club (The Twelves Remix)

2- I Can Talk - Two Door Cinema Club (I know this is no remix but...)

3- A Cholo You Know - Down AKA Kilo vs. Two Door Cinema Club (The White Panda Mash-Up)

Favorite Artist Period!

What can I say? Drum and Bass is just awesome. I can not go a day without it and this year, Pendulum stepped up to the plate. Their album "Immersion" was huge and produced some of the best tracks I have ever heard. "Tarantula" remains as my ringtone to this day which can actually be pretty bothersome because when someone calls me (even if I am in class and I forgot to turn off my phone) I don't want to pick up. Many of their tracks reached high levels in the UK singles chart and they recently let out their new single "Crush". They are currently on tour going from India, to England and then to North America. I am really sad to say that not only am I missing them in Vancouver (I arrive 4 days too late) but I am also missing Gareth Emery on the 25th because my flight leaves that day. The travel gods hate me! Oh well, at least I have "Immersion" to make me feel better. My top 3 tracks

1- The Vulture - Pendulum

Still 1- Witchcraft - Pendulum

Will always be 1- Immunize - Pendulum (ft. Liam H)

Lets hope 2011 will be as awesome!

Considering I am completely broke (and in debt), I can't really afford to go out to shows like Bal en Blanc (sad sad moments). This means that while my friends are going out to party, I'm stuck here at home trying to find music for you guys. To make this worse, I didn't even find this band; my sister did. Ok, don't take this wrong...we all know that sisters listen to terrible music but somehow she managed to push me towards this pretty sweet group.

They're called the Two Door Cinema Club. A trio from northern ireland that play some really jumpy and very happy indie. They almost made me want to get up and dance...until i realized again how sad my life is for the moment. Now I listened to their new album: Tourist History and i thought it was pretty cool. Almost immediately after (yes, I spend that much time on my computer), I found an awesome remix of theirs. I kept on searching until i found the following five:

Undercover Martyn Flexin' It - Two Door Cinema Club (Passion Pit Remix)

What You Know - Two Door Cinema Club (Redlight Remix)

Something Good Can Work - Two Door Cinema Club (The Twelves Remix) (Personal Favorite)

A Cholo You Know - Down AKA Kilo vs. Two Door Cinema Club (The White Panda Mash-Up)

The Angler - Panama Kings (Two Door Cinema Club Remix)



Bonus track (also an indie remix):

Dull Life - Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Professor Purple Remix)

P.S. This music is only for happy people. It has nothing to do with our usual heavy electro and D&B
Enjoy anyways!

So, for all those who care (noone) my trip was INSANE! Considering this, I am still recovering. Hence this post having very little amount of text but some really good music. This includes some french lyrics, an awesome new group called We Love Machines and some good dancing music. Enjoy!

Broke One -You Have To Move(Elektropusher Remix)

Sacre de L'ete - We Love Machines

Electric Shock - We Love Machines

Comme Ci Comme Ca - The Twelves Remix version 2

Our Time - Ocelot
