Need Moar Bandwith! "Internet Connection" (Flux Pavillion Remix) by M.I.A.

Flux Pavillion makes great dubstep and M.I.A. makes great music. This remix is hard-hitting and I love the way they build up M.I.A.'s vocals. This song is available on Spotify.

More Yelle Remixes

                                                Comme Un Enfant (Second Date Remix)

Safari Disco Club (Beatacue Remix)

After I posted the Ce Jeu remix a couple days ago I ended up listening to Yelle's entire 'Safari Disco Club' Remix album and was blown away by a couple of the remixes. I have included above my two favorites, "Comme Un Enfant" (Second Date Remix) and Safari Disco Club (Beatacue Remix). The first song boasts a trancy beat and hypnotic french vocals. The second song is more of a banger, with an awesome break-down. Listen for Yelle's pronunciation of "Safari Disco Club" in the chorus, it took me a couple listens to figure out that that was what she was saying. Both songs are available on Spotify.

Royksopp-What Else Is There (Trentemoller Remix)

I have heard countless remixes of 'What Else Is There' and just came across this one today. The visual for it is pretty cool and matches with the music quite well. It takes the hypnotic vocals and adds a cool, chilled-out techno beat and a great guitar solo at the end. This song is available on Spotify.

New Diplo! "Make it Pop" feat. Don Diablo

The visual for Diplo & Don Diablo's collab "Make it Pop" was released today on Diablo's Youtube account. This song is typical Diplo and follows up on the energy of Lazer's release of "Original Don". The sampling is great and the video is hysterical as well. This song is worth a listen and is available on Spotify.

Ce Jeu (Tepr Remix)- Yelle

Try and not fall in love with this amazing remix of "Ce Jeu", the hit single by French artist Yelle, as remixed by Tepr. It is awesome. I highly recommend checking out her other song "Que Veux Tu (Madeon Remix)".  I am telling you, this shit is good.

Both songs can be found on Spotify

SPOTIFY 101

I downloaded Spotify last August when I had heard about it through Twitter. I had little clue as to what it was. When I first opened it, I remember being in complete awe--it was like having an entire iTunes store at my disposal. I could listen to any song, in full length, and star it for later listening... for free. It was one of those things that just seemed to good to be true.

I quickly opted for the $10 a month premium Spotify and since then it has completely replaced my iTunes--I can't even remember the last time I have opened iTunes. With this service, I have complete access to any album or artist or song I can think of at any time on my iPhone. The songs that I have 'starred' for later listening can be synced on to my phone through my network, to be used in 'Offline Mode'. This means I can listen to my 'Starred Songs' (702 tracks at the moment) when my phone doesn't get any reception, like on an airplane. It's really awesome.

This following tutorial is meant to educate people on how revolutionary Spotify can be for discovering music. It always shocks me when I ask people if they have Spotify and they say "No, I don't know what that is" or "Ya, but I don't understand it". I have been given these answers by so many people that I felt it was a neccesity for me to write an article on what exactly you can do with Spotify to optimize your usage of the program and understand how easy and fun it can be for even the most computer illiterate to share and discover music.
