Dance Music is Blessed to Have Avicii

It seems like every week comes a new @avicii track that I discover and ride until the wheels fall off. Driving back from NYC this weekend, I just so happened to be riding out to Sirius's Channel 51 (BPM) and found myself having a full on dance party in the front seat like this dude...

God bless the crazy Romanian truck driver. And they want us to stop texting and answering calls while driving in the US. #Fuckery

Anyways, the track below is well over a year old, but that isn't going to dissuade me one bit from posting it because in my mind, if I haven't heard it then you damn sure haven't either (#humblebrag). The original track was crafted by a Tom Hangs, which is just another alias for Avicii. The original mix of Blessed isn't all that much different, but since the extended cut is longer, I say why not? As a sidebar, I usually hate the extended drawn out versions of dance tracks, but that hatred seems to disappear quickly when I'm listening to the soothing electro rhythms of Sweden's finest DJ.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention @shermanology in this post because they're a continually slept on group that always finds a way to pop up in music I enjoy. They just released a new Can't Stop Miami mixtape via Soundcloud that you may enjoy if you like their presence on Blessed. Best explanation I have for the mixtape is electro craziness with soulful vocals. Even better, the track below is featured around the 6:40 mark of the mixtape. Just a whole bunch of uptempo dance music, which is a welcome pick me up on a Wednesday...#HumpDay

Afrojack is Unstoppable

Having been stricken with a sudden affliction for @avicii, it's been easy to lose sight of other great elctro house DJs like @djafrojack. Like any soon to be club hit, his new single Can't Stop Me is half electronic house, half pop with the vocals provided by @shermanology. If you haven't heard of Shermanology, I'd invite you to check out their own brand of crazy dance music on a track like Only Love Can Save Me.

I've argued before and will continue to claim that it doesn't really matter what woman you plug in on a great dance beat because as long as they have a decent vocal range, they can deliver the mail. That's not to take away from the effort put in by Shermanology because I'm now listening to their music as a result of the track below and their other song with Afrojack titled Grindin'. All I gotta say is put together a good four bar hook and hit a few high notes and you're golden.

A little tip...don't give up on the track at the 3:04 mark because it picks right back up seven seconds later. That one got me the first time and you're missing out on half the track if you get impatient like me. Simply put, this will make cardio go by quicker tomorrow, which is why you should get like me and drag it to your newest playlist. Oh you don't make playlists? #GetWithTheTimes
