This track is just to good to be true. A great remix for sure! I love what Them Jean's did to the vocals. I wish the guy would go on touring with a bigger name sometime, but I think the guy is happy just hanging out and having steady gig's in LA. Check out his soundcloud here.
Today I have an exclusive treat for our loyal fans, a song thick with bass and great rap vocals too.
Jon Dose is from Lexington Kentucky, which is smack dab in the middle of a growing midwest electronic culture that goes strong here in Louisville and Lexington, through Nashville and Knoxville TN all the down to the hippie dippie cool Asheville North Carolina. Dose's music is always one of evolution and progression, it's well known around these parts that he's an Abelton wizard. With an increasingly steady amount of big name acts he has been opening for recently along as a member of the electronic jam band Headstash, you can bet this guy is going to have a big year in 2012.
As always we ask you to share this on Twitter and Facebook, and if you like it and want to help us bring more freebies in the future, make sure to go like Jon Dose's facebook and follow him on his soundcloud which is listed below.

I bring to you my top tracks of last year, and it covers a wide spectrum of sounds and genres under the EDM umbrella. Elecktrokill all day! Give me your feed back in the comments and let me know what you agree with and disagree with.
10. TC – Tap Ho
I am not usually too big on drum and bass, I don’t know what it is, but it’s just not my thing typically. However this song is straight murder from the second it begins. TAP TAP TAP TAP HO…dunna dunna. It constantly gets stuck in my head and I don’t mind that one bit.
9. SBTRKT – Wildfire
What’s not to like about this song? It’s one of those odd songs that could either get you amped up a bit at a show, or is good in a chill setting. The production is stellar and although the rest of SBTRKT’s debut cd was great, this song is still the best track on there, hands down.
8. Dillon Francis – I.D.G.A.F.O.S.
Dillon Francis takes Skrillex’s melodies and one ups them. Have you ever heard anything so catchy? The drop is beautifully hectic; this is a great introductory track to get someone into the moombahton tempo and would work well in most any dj’s set.
7. Example – Midnight Run (Flux Pavilion Remix)
My oh my how big of a year have Flux Pavilion and his partner in crime Doctor P have had! I caught them both twice this year and was impressed with their sets both times. There were plenty of tracks I could have picked by them this year, but I just loved Example’s vocals in this song and how Flux played with them.
6. Silver Medalion – All I Ask (Codes Remix)
This is my jam. This song is instant happiness for me. Everything about it is spot on. I love the dubstep like buildup into the final drop, and there is just a great overall progression as the song plays out.
5. Deadmau5 – Aural Psynapse (Myndset Remix)
We all know Joel is a douche, but would you have him any other way. Even though he is a jerk to many, it’s quite clear just by visiting his facebook that he loves his fans, and that’s all that really matters. This track has everything you could want in a remix. It does justice to the original while adding great elements that really makes it a stand out track. It has a bit of “old school rave” feeling to it also which is nice.
4. Rusko – Everyday (Netsky Remix)
Rusko hasn’t released much this year, though a new cd will be coming out by the crazy man soon. If someone asked me to recommend one dubstep dj to go see live for a newcomer I would pick him easily. His energy on stage is just wild and his song selection is always great. Netsky destroyed this remix, it’s an absolute banger.
3. Feed Me – Pink Lady
I think Feed Me is my favorite new artist of the year. Here’s a fact not to many people know, he used to (or may one day again) produce drum and bass under the name Spor. This song is so awesome I don’t even know where to begin. The sounds are all so awesome, and that intro, has there been a better intro on any song all year? I am dying to see the man live again with his new stage setup, he plays the perfect mix of dubstep and electro house and his music selection is in perfect harmony with my own musical taste.
2. Zed’s Dead – 1975
The truth of the matter is I had the hardest time picking which Zed’s Dead song I wanted to put on this list. Every single song they have released this year has been perfect. In my eyes they can do no harm, and their brothers in battle: The Killabits are doing well too. I picked this song because I figured maybe not everyone caught it when it came out, and the vocals are a great clash with the dirty drop. Their sound is just so unique! I can’t wait to see what they do in 2012.
1. Steve Aoki and Afrojack – No Beef
Yup I said it; this is my number one song of the year. Steve Aoki has a lot of haters; he is kind of like the Skrillex of electro, except the dude doesn’t just make electro! When you see him live it feels like a party. Well it is a party! The man has really stepped up his production game this year along with Afrojack too. The vocals are top notch, and I just have three more words…EFFED UP CAMEL!
I'm just going to label this under bass even though I am sure it touches on MANY different genre's and sounds. This is a full length album themed around the master film maker Quentin Tarantino. Check out all the tracks below, they're all free for download.
I thought I'd share with you all another local talent that's doing big things. This might be my favorite thing he's put out so far, turn your speakers up! Check out his soundcloud here.
Wow this was pretty hard to classify ! So many different genres in one EP and even now I don't feel like it's really precise, we should start a genre called "George Lenton"! Now that's an artist who has his own style, doesn't try to sound like anyone else! Big respect for that! This EP has flavors for all tastes! Sometimes groovy, sometimes dreamy but always amazing! Download, Share and Enjoy!
Do you like tropical bass? I do! I got THE EP for you today! The Carimbo EP is just what you need, nice tropical vibe from Munich, Germany....yeah doesn't sound very tropical but give it a listen and you'll be convinced! Carimbo is so catchy, you won't be able to get it out of your head ;)
Coolie fruit makes me think of some old school MIA ...a little.
Enjoy this great release, you can grab Coolie Fruit for free and grab the rest of the EP on beatport, itunes or any other digital store.
Here's a debut from a good friend of mine who now goes by the alias Johnny Rage. It's experimental, weird, and thick with bass. Put on your cool shades and turn up your speakers.
We don't post mixes very often on Electrokill so when we do you should know that they're special. This one comes from the king of that future bass, and his steady rise in popularity is a reflection of that. Check out his website here.
