In recent news, Rusko has signed to Skrillex's label, OWSLA. He's graciously released a stream of his new track, Takeoff, through RollingStone.com. Click here to check out the track. Here is what Rusko had to say about it:

“I grew up listening to drum-and-bass and jungle music. I felt it was time to reflect this by making some of my very own. This really is the definition of music from the heart.” – Rusko

I can't wait to hear some more drum-and-bass and jungle from Rusko! I'm already loving this track, especially with the Jay-Z sample!

Martin Garrix - Animals (Original)

Martin Garrix is really kicking the summer off with this banger, "Animals"! It's the kind of song that you hear and think, "wow, this is actually quite original". Which is a tough feat in an age where electronic music is constantly being replicated. This bass-heavy, tech infused track seems to be one of Martin's biggest tracks to date and it's no surprise, the production quality is amazing. Not to mention, the confusion with Sidney Samson and Hardwell probably gained the track a lot of attention. Regardless, it's a dope track and you need to check it out.

I honestly can't believe I'm just hearing this Cobra Starship remix for the first time of Icona Pop's "I Love It". It's got an upbeat, dancey feel to it, and really reworks the original into a whole new dance anthem withs ome great elements of electro! If you haven't yet, check it out below. 

Also, check out Spencer Baird's bootleg that he dropped a few days ago. Definitely has a unique sound of it's own as well! Social Talk always likes to support local talent and this guy seems to have it!  Happy Sunday FUNday!

Daft Punk - Instant Crush (Heartik Filterwork Remix)

I came across this remix a few days ago and have had it on repeat ever since. HEARTIK, a tech-house/funk producer DJ from Italy has put out a Filterwork remix to Daft Punk's "Instant Crush" and it seems to be blowing up! There's a reason this remix has over 60,000 plays on YouTube in under a week, it has major flow. It brings a new form of life to the song, while staying true to the original. Check it out below and enjoy!

Daft Punk - Instant Crush from Random Access Memories

As I'm sure all of you know by now the new Daft Punk album 'Random Access Memories' leaked this past week and along with it came a plethora of amazing new music for summer 2013 and for years to come! Today I'm featuring "Instant Crush", which features Julian Casablancas . This is probably my favourite song to come from the album and I've had it on repeat for days now. It's a groovy, mellow tune that is quite catchy and has some great lyrics and beautiful vocals. Check back for reviews of other songs from the album in the weeks to come. Enjoy!

It's clear that summer is just around the corner. Banger after banger of originals and remixes alike are dropping like mad and this original by Afrojack is no exception. "It's A Matter Of..." is a dirty dutch infused track with everything you would expect from Afrojack and more. With crazy builds and melodic undertones, this track gets me really excited for summer!

Foxes - Let Go For Tonight (Game 7 Remix)

After a 2 week hiatus, Social Talk is back and ready for an amazing summer of music!  Game 7 kicks things off with a remix of Foxes' "Let Go For The Night" and as always, it's great! He has clearly defined his music with a unique sound and it does not go unoticed in this remix. I think I actually prefer this remix to the original. Super mellow dubstep vibes with some strong wobbles! Check it out for yourself and if you like it, download it here.
