LAZRtag (yes you must write it like that every time) hails from LA and consist of two guys: Luvtek and Erik Addison aka 'StellarDRV'. They are producers as well as DJs and have just wrapped up their Summer Australian tour. These guys. Fucking. Kill it. They're remixes are unbelievably good, out of this world. When can we see them live?! We are listening to it right now with big ass grins on our faces. We're featuring their Passion Pit "Little Secret" Remix and their Datarock "Dance!" remix. Look out for their upcoming original singles "Klepto" and "Belong to You." After listening to their remixes we can't wait for these singles to come out. Strong work boys.

Passion Pit - Little Secrets (LAZRtag Remix - Radio Edit)
Every once and a while a song comes out that is truly fantastic and will remain fantastic for a long time. "Barbra Streisand" is one of them. It's sooo catchy, a legit summer bomb and a really strong track for 2010! Absolutely love the island drums and "woooo's," it makes it so that we can dance AND sing along! This is a fantastic display of electro-disco-pop. The song feels light and playful, yet still has a strong enough beat to dance along to. We're featuring the Baby Diego edit from scratch, basically a few tweaks on the original, but remains largely unchanged.
For those of you who don't know, Duck Sauce is a collaboration between the great A-Trak and Armand Van Helden. Their debut single "aNYway" was released on 25th October 2009 on Data Records. A-Trak dropped "Barbra Streisand" at Ultra and people have been buzzing about it ever since. Strong work boys, strong work, keep it up
The squatters first track of 2010 certainly is a monster. the track comes off of their Monster-EP and we highly recommend getting the rest of the album. We really enjoy how the squatters get right to business with the song, straight forward to the sick beat. We think the track has huge remix potential, but can stand alone in it's right no question. We definitely see people head-banging and jumping to this. the beat has been stuck in our heads for days, and fans of sharp beats and breaks will probably experience the same. we really enjoy this and hope you do as well, GO SQUATTERS!
We don't think we've seen a DJ this active with his equipment. Kissy Sell Out is EVERYWHERE, interweaving whats seems to be all his samples and sound effects together in a seamless fashion. Sick drops and transitions with a refreshingly spontaneous feel that makes us move our feet and bob our heads. He is one of the most exciting, charismatic and entertaining DJs we've come across, and produces some of the best live sets we've heard in a while. His energy is infectious, leading to lots of dancing.
Kissy Sell Out (Tommy Bisdee) hails from the UK, and has his own radioshow on BBC 1 radio. At only 25 years old, he only continues to evolve, smashing shows left and right. SUPER stoked for his American tour starting September 2 in San Diego! Listen to him, DO IT!
Because it's the 4th of July. and the remix is done by a Brit (Scotland if you want to get technical) oh the irony!! but seriously, Calvin Harris is legit and so is this remix. We love it and so should you.
Normally we feature newly released material, but as a group designer drugs has really caught our attention. Designer Drugs consists of two members: Michael Vincent Patrick and Theodore Paul Nelson. The DD boys produced over 23 remixes and DJ’d over 100 shows around the world. This year, to keep from going crazy, Designer Drugs is putting the focus on original material while continuing to tour the galaxy and party harder than ever.
We are focusing on their Datamix collection, which feature mixes that range up and down the electro spectrum. Their sets are a collection of great remixes (many of which are their own) and songs, highlighted by original material by Designer Drugs like "Riot" and "Zombies!" The DD boys come at you with crisp beats, intermixed with dirty dubstep drops and well known dance favorites. They almost force you out of your seat to dance, with head-bangingly awesome music. Check out the Datamix 05 and keep up the beat
