Benny Benassi is a true living legend who many consider one of the fathers and original pioneers of electro house music. With the help of Gary Go, it appears we have a sequel to the famed track Cinema that hit the charts last year, right about this time. Control is no different; very vocal driven. Also, I have a remix of the song done by Jacob Plant who always does a heavy track. Also, he is no stranger to Crossfaded!

The Dean’s List teamed up with the melodic Dani Ummel to create another smooth track. Hollywood is a great song with awesome engineering and unique lyrics. Hip hop these days is getting almost ridiculous with rappers going off non-stop about how much weed they smoke, how many loose females they have acquired, just music that just gets old. The Dean’s List is in a genre of their own and create music that you can simply just vibe to. Put this in a summer playlist for sure.

The song Domino is a hit and that is all thanks to the very talented Jessie J. The original is a fun pop song that was just lacking something. That is where Myon & Shane 54 come in. They provide this song with some well needed house energy. To be quite honest this is a full fledged house anthem. Not only that, but it is perfect for any summer playlist.

Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino is an amazing lyricist. Not only that, but he tends to DJ his own tracks. Needless to say he is a multifaceted individual. Also, he has been featured here on Crossfaded plenty of times, most recently on our Welcome Back post. Off his newest mixtape “Camp” he drops Heartbeat and this song has such a soft intro that drops into heavy electro segments that make this song a juggernaut. He incorporates fast paced rapping over a sick melody. It is amazing how he can convey such great arrogance over his tracks. I find it to be such an interesting take on the rap genre. Also, the video is sick as hell and is worth a view.
Next up is the Proper Villains remix of Heartbeat brings forth a gnarly dubstep remix and it hits hard. It is a good mix of hard melodic dubstep and constant wobbles. This song can be enjoyed both driving around and at a dance party. With that sort of versatility it is obvious that Proper Villains has been refining his view on how dubstep should be produced. It is working because this song bangs. Proper Villains has amazing star quality so be sure to check out his Facebook and Soundcloud. Now listen.
Last but certainly not least is the remix done by The Golden Pony. A relatively unknown artist who has some amazing potential. With his version of Heartbeat he gives the song a complete makeover and makes it into a great dance/pop song that will make any crowd go wild. It is fast paced happy-go-lucky take on this song. It has very fun synths and nice transitions that will keep you guessing. The Golden Pony delivers big time with this remix, so, give him some love on his Facebook and Soundcloud.
