Heart Of Glass (Olive & Thee Mike B Remix) - Blondie [FREE DL]

Heart Of Glass (Olive & Thee Mike B Remix) – Blondie [FREE DL]

With so much garbage floating around the internet, it’s good to know Oliver and Thee Mike B are holding it down with this classic and keeping it classy.  Remixing any classic is no joke and has to be done carefully, Blondie is no exception, especially “Heart Of Glass”.  Oliver, a duo from Los Angeles who...
Get Lucky (feat. Pharrell Williams) (Radio Edit) - Daft Punk

Get Lucky (feat. Pharrell Williams) (Radio Edit) – Daft Punk

Having been tantalized with teaser after teaser, beginning with a seemingly-timeless 16 second SNL ad to a sparkle-filled music video snippet at the Coachella Music Festival, the “Get Lucky (Radio Edit)” single from Daft Punk‘s upcoming album Random Access Memories is now officially available for purchase via iTunes/Amazon!  Featuring the playful, catchy lyrics of singer/producer...

You Can Call Me Al (Flight Facilities Edit) - Paul Simon [FREE DL]

You Can Call Me Al (Flight Facilities Edit) – Paul Simon [FREE DL]

Over the past couple of weeks, Flight Facilities has been releasing a number of edits for tunes that just don’t have that club-ready feel or sound.  You might remember their “Fifth Of Beethoven” edit from a week ago.  The duo that brought you the ever-remixed “Crave You” has been on quite the streak of good...
Holding On - Classixx

Holding On – Classixx

It’s hard not to hop on the Classixx bandwagon, the duo of Michael David and Tyler Blake have been building an ever-growing fan base with their sun-kissed, beach party, disco-house anthems.  We’ve heard numerous excellent remixes from the duo, but only a few originals have been released.  ”Holding On” marks the first single from the...
Going Back To The Funk (M&T Edit) - Malignate & Tazz [FREE DL]

Going Back To The Funk (M&T Edit) – Malignate & Tazz [FREE DL]

Funk? Bass? The west? All of that sounds pretty cheeky to me so shit how could a raunchy collision of all three turn out anything short of a great little mashup mix? Though this isn’t usually my type of thing to present to you guys when Malignate & Tazz shared it with us I wanted you...
Cliché - Hey Champ [FREE DL]

Cliché – Hey Champ [FREE DL]

A long time ago, when I was first frequenting Chicago bars for a night out of under-age drinking and dancing, I was introduced to this three piece electronic band, Hey Champ.  Their single from then, “Cold Dust Girl” still pops up on itunes from time to time and I can’t deny it’s greatness.  Until today,...

In The Trenches: New Year’s 2013- Big Gigantic | GRiZ | Manic Focus @ The Aragon Ballroom

Photo credit: Jackie Pratt As we say goodbye to 2012, let us not forget some of the huge moments that made this year unforgettable: Barack Obama was re-elected President; the world survived December 21st; Skrillex became a household name by winning three Grammys, making Electronic Dance music more popular than ever; and Marijuana became legal...
Burn The Disco (Bro Safari Remix) - Felix Da Housecat Feat. will.i.am

Burn The Disco (Bro Safari Remix) – Felix Da Housecat Feat. will.i.am

This could without a doubt be one of the best and most unforeseen combinations of artists this month. Originally, Felix Da Housecat featuring will.i.am was a satisfactorily random combo, but now with Bro Safari included in the mix this track is brought to a whole new level. The original had a pop esque vibe to...
Digital Liberation Is Mad Freedom - Grizmatik

Digital Liberation Is Mad Freedom – Grizmatik

This summer was an ultimate quest in perseverance and stamina as I tested attempted to see how many shows my body could take before hitting that fearsome figurative wall. After 58 shows between Memorial Day and Labor Day, the one that did me in happened to not alone be one of the best live performances these...
You Were (Honest Remix) - Kyogi [FREE DL]

You Were (Honest Remix) – Kyogi [FREE DL]

  Very rarely does a great track slide by us here at The Dankles, but when it does it is usually a low key artist with a dangerous amount of potential. In this remix by Honest of Kyogi’s song “You Were” it is undeniable that this artist can create a kinky and eccentric sounding beat. With...
Those Days (Viceroy remix) - Amtrac [FREE DL]

Those Days (Viceroy remix) – Amtrac [FREE DL]

The above picture is the face of a man who, like a lot of us, enjoys a nice summery drink and loves to groove.  This man is known to most as Viceroy, the concocter of summertime vibes even when the a looming winter approaches.  If you’ve stayed on top of your Dankles goodies, Viceroy should...
Ultra Funk (Original Mix) - Static Groove

Ultra Funk (Original Mix) – Static Groove

So homies of mine Static Groove threw us this new glitch-hop tune a few days ago, and I regret not posting the tune immediately upon hearing it, because cornily-enough, there is a “static groove” in this new track for sure. These up-state New Yorkers have been taking a multi-genred approach to their music, tackling the...
Pompeya - Power (Zimmer Remix) [FREE DL]

Pompeya – Power (Zimmer Remix) [FREE DL]

Feel good disco tracks are hard to come by, but when you do find them, it seems it’s nearly impossible to not play it on repeat. Zimmer’s new remix of Pompeya’s track “Power” is flawless. It is perfectly funky; there is no other way to put it. After listening to the original version of “Power,”...
