[REMIXED] Foo Fighters // Rope (Deadmau5 mix)

And here's your pre-Easter remix post. The Foo Fighters returned with their seventh studio album, Wasting Time, earlier this month. From that, their lead single Rope was released. Whilst many are describing this album as "the return to the Foo's roots", there is certainly one thing that has caught my attention - and that's the Deadmau5 remix of Rope.

In true, typical Deadmau5 style he has taken Rope to another place. A beautiful place. A place of joy and darkness, all at the same time. A place of electro-house pleasure. A place that many will be over this long weekend, I'm sure.

[VIDEO PREMIERE] MEDINA "ADDICTION"

Medina. the Danish hottie that treated us all to You And I in 2010 (a massive club hit with remixes produced by Deadmau5, Kaskade, and Spencer & Hill just to name a few) has returned with another hot track, Addiction.

Taken from her first international release, Welcome to Medina, Addiction picks up where You And I left off - great beats, hot vocals, and a begging to be remixed by some of the great house DJs. The track went to #1 in her native Denmark, and has playing around various charts across Europe. Will it achieve the same club success as it's predecessor...? Maybe not, but it's certainly getting some spins at my place.

Enjoy.

Deadmau5 feat. SOFI // Sofi Needs a Ladder

God there are some good tunes out at the moment! Taken from Deadmau5's third studio album, 4x4=12, is the third single, Sofi Needs a Ladder. The track features Sofia Tofua (aka SOFI) on vocals.

It's a typical Deadmaus5 track, but that certainly doesn't mean it doesn't impress. After Animal Rights, which features Wolfgang Gartner, it's my choice as one of the strongest numbers off the album.

I think with the addition of SOFI it finishes the piece. In fact, it actually reminds me a little of last years smash - I Like It by Richard Vission feat. Static Revenger and Luciana. Big similarities in the girls vocals for sure.

No clip at this stage, nor am I expecting one - however listen to the track and share your thoughts? You like?

ALEXIS JORDAN SPREADS HER "HAPPINESS" EVERYWHERE

This year has certainly started off with a bang in hot new music. Well, new for our part of the world, but not necessarily for the rest! Of course right now I'm talking about 18 year old Alexis Jordan.

Alexis hails from South Carolina in the US, and came to the US screens originally in 2006 in their first season of America's Got Talent. Whilst Alexis was knocked out in the semi-finals, it didn't stop her from persuing her dream of becoming a pop sensation.

Fast track to 2010 and Jay-Z's record label ROC Nation have snatched this young startlet up and her debut single, Happiness, is released to the US market. Whilst it faired well on the Billboard club and dance charts, it wasn't until the track was released internationally did it start to make waves. It recently peaked at #3 on the UK Charts, and as we speak, it currently sits in the top 5 downloaded tracks in the Australian iTunes (it bulleted up to #13 on the official ARIA Singles Chart this week).

Yes, we may be a little behind on ensuring that Alexis is a success, but if you ask me I think you'll be hearing a lot of this track over the coming Summer weeks ahead (if you haven't been already!).

For all those Deadmau5 lovers out there, you'll recognise the track in the background - yes, those are Alexis' vocals, but that tune is distinctively the Deadmau5 track Brazil. Funnilty enough, it was also used in a track called Change Your Mind by Kylie Minogue last year, but that (unfortuantely) didn't make the final cut for Aphrodite. Check it out on myprevious blog entry. [BLOG/VIDEO]

AND, to top it all off - the track listing for Alexis' self-titled album, which will be released in the UK on the 28th February, was just released via Alexis' Twitter account. Stay tuned for the Australian release date. [TWITTER]

For now, enjoy the video! Much love.

Happiness is availble digitally now. [ITUNES]

KYLIE MINOGUE'S "APHRODITE" - FORGOTTEN TRACKS

Well we knew they'd start coming outta the wood works sooner or later... so here's the first one.

Change Your Mind is the first track to hit the 'net off Kylie's Aphrodite sessions. The track, produced by the one-and-only Deadmau5, samples part of his own Brazil. It's a shame it was let off actually, to be honest I think it's a great track. It has a good mood/feel to it and certainly could have complimented the album.

Have a listen and tell me your thoughts!
