The Longest Road (Deadmau5 Remix) – Morgan Page (feat. Lissie)

I have finally, FINALLY finished all of my exams. Thank goodness. After four in three days, I was ready to jump off a cliff. Having finally rid myself of urges that on another day might have led me to believe that I was a lemming, I can now provide you with a stream of glorious tunes.

Sounds That Are Helping Me To Stay Alive: A Downbeat Electronic Playlist to Wash Your Stress Away

My apologies for not posting as often. As we’ve stated a bunch of times, our exams are just starting to get really intense, and while I wish I could plop myself down on my sofa and keep you satisfied with a never-ending flow of new tunes, it is sadly impossible. It might just be that some of you readers out there are students also, and you happen to have important/life-changing/future-determining exams coming up. Or you’re just stressed about the end of the school year. Either way, I thought I’d give you a brief rundown of the songs that have been helping me stay relaxed and focused throughout this tough time. Enjoy.

Allein – Pryda

I’m finally off school and feel like celebrating! Here’s a song that get you in a mood to party with me, even though I have to go right back to school tomorrow in order to finish my art coursework. It feels like the work will never stop, and it most probably won’t. It’s probably a good idea to learn that now. 

Take A Walk – Passion Pit

I admire Passion Pit because they seemed to storm onto the scene with their own kind of genre. They had synths, drum kits, great vocals, and just a knack for creating a melody that would pester you all day and wouldn’t let you go a minute without humming it. Here’s their latest song from their upcoming album Gossamer.

Is This Love – Aiden Grimshaw

This is a horrid coincidence for my street cred. I’m writing about two music talent shows for two consecutive days. I’m really sorry but this song today is worthy of the inevitable mockery!

Unite Us – PNAU

Let’s all enjoy electro pop at its finest after the jump. (This was the weakest cold opening I’ve ever written).

Fill Me In – Craig David

It makes me awfully sad to think that Craig David has been forgotten. I remember his debut, Born To Do It, and thinking it was quite simply off the charts (it wasn’t. This song got to Number 15 in the USA and this album went platinum).

I’m On One – DJ Khaled feat. Drake (Unicorn Kid Remix)

In accordance with my recent Drake crush, here’s a gem that a friend showed me a couple of days ago and haven’t been able to stop listening to. Despite an extremely questionable haircut (pictured above), Unicorn Kid’s genius is inside his head as opposed to outside it. He turns Drake’s huge hit into a brilliantly trancey dance track. I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve needed a little bit of dance in my life, and although Unicorn Kid probably isn’t someone who I’d be paying incredibly close attention to with regards to new releases, this track is definitely worth picking up (for free!). Listen below.

 

Raindrops (Encore Une Fois) – Sash! & Stunt

Before you say anything – I don’t care! This song, as awfully commercial as it is, still gets me stoked for dancing and the like. And also (aside from LMFAO) was listened to a ludicrous amount on my holiday.

Lucy – Jealousy

Let me take you back a few years. There is little to no information available on the supposed greatest source of information in the world about this track and/or this band. I think it’s reasonable to guess that the guy in the album art is staring longingly at Lucy.
