Armand Van Helden – You Don’t Know Me feat. Duane Harden (Martin Solveig Remix)

Armand Van Helden Martin Solveig

A true classic that leaves us torn on what to say about this remix from Martin Solveig – from one perspective, why attempt to mess around with an unforgettable gem? Then again, if you have never heard this song before – you are more than likely new to house music, and you SHOULD hear this song. All we ask is you also listen to AVH’s original mix as well…

MarieMarie – Neon Sky (Monarchy Remix)

A tasty blend of electro tightly woven by Monarchy into a trippy, driving rhythm. And did we mention the vocal? Robotic, futuristic, left-field goodness…
