Avicii's ID 2 or Fire has been floating around for a while but hasn't really taken off in the way that "Levels" did. It's only a matter of time... -HM

Chiddy BANG

Here's a brand new single from Chiddy Bang. I've been enjoying the works of Chiddy Bang for a while now. He broke on to the scene a while back with his hit, "Opposite of Adults," which was an awesome remix of Kids by MGMT. This new song is no different. Enjoy! -AM

Canadians representing in the House department!

This group called Project 46 is really impressing us here at Thumbs Up Fist Bump. Their house mixes are pretty awesome. The way the different beats build is really fun to listen to because it changes all of the time. Here are a few recent songs from them. Enjoy! -AM

Finally Moving Remix

I came across this a while ago and it just blew me away. It's a Pretty Lights remix of a classic PL track: "Finally Moving." What I didn't realize when I first heard it, was that it's part of a 24 track unreleased PL album called "Defocused on the Bright Diamonds". It's got some really dope live tracks, some better than others. Definitely worth checking out. This track is aptly named "Starting Moving." Enjoy! -HM

#Thumbsupfistbump

Swedish House Mafia!!!

Swedish House Mafia is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Their crazy dance music is so fun to jam to. Here is a brand new version of Antidote from them. They paired up with the always good, "Knife Party," to make this beat. It's not one to be missed.

Suggestion from a Fellow Music Lover

Here's an email we got: 
Yo I got to your blog through Stefan Lessard---good stuff. Check out Zach Heckendorf, he's a pretty extraordinary talent out of Colorado and he's already opened for bands like John Butler Trio, The Barenaked Ladies, Guster, Mat Kearney and his newest album was produced by Brett Dennen. He played at Red Rocks last year too. Awesome music---the guitar and vocals are incredible and most amazing of all--the kid's 18. Dude's gonna be famous. Check him out at http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-cool-down/id438302026. 
This kid has talent, trust me. I've been playing guitar for years and he puts me to shame. Enjoy! -HM

Damu The Fudgemunk

Damu is my go to man when I'm fiending some chill beats. His technique is simple but flawless and his tracks have a really old school feel. If more producers today understood how to create music half as well as Damu does, the world would be a better place. You can visit his website HERE where he's got some free stuff that I highly recommend. This video really shows the passion that he puts into every track. -HM

@TufBump

Mac Attack

In two short days, Mac Miller is releasing his debut album, "Blue Slide Park." It is going to be HUGE. He're a sneak peak, with "PA Nights" a chill track hot off the upcoming record -HM

Madeon is made of greatness

I'm sure many of you have already heard of Madeon, as he is nothing new. He is still incredibly good and I wanted to take this opportunity to appreciate some of his stuff. His work in Deadmau5's "Raise Your Weapon" was insanely good. Another favorite of mine is "Pop Culture." The video in which you watch him make the song clearly demonstrates his talent in an unbelievable way. -AM

I found this dance version of "Pop Culture" to be hilarious and definitely worth the watch.

Deadmau5

Deadmau5 has been a staple in the music industry for years now. His song, "Ghosts 'n' Stuff," changed many people's views on what music could be. This new song, "Aural Psynapse," from him continues his tradition and is right in line with his classic style. Enjoy! -AM

Tribute to DMB

As a thank you to Stefan Lessard of the Dave Matthews Band for helping us out on Twitter, I'd like to post something a little different. The Dave Matthews Band has been my favorite band since the moment I first heard them. They came together in Charlottesville, Virginia (also the home of TUFB) and have been rockin' the world ever since. So thanks to Dave, Stefan, Carter, Boyd, and last but not least LeRoi for everything you've done. Also thanks to everyone who supports them as they change the world with their music. Cheers! -HM

Gramatik

Gramatik is one of my favorite producers. He's blends that classic New York hip hop feel with his his own glitchy electronic sound so produce some unreal tracks. Recently he signed with Derek Vincent Smith of "Pretty Lights Music" and you can grab his newest stuff for free Here. Here are some of his tracks:

Com Truise melts my mind with "She Melts"

This song came out just a few days ago from Com Truise. I was fortunate enough to see him as an opener for a Glitch Mob concert and he really shocked me. His talent with the synths was crazy. The vibe was pretty electric in the theater as he played. This song has a chill feel to it that would work for anything from the background at a party to something to bump to while doing schoolwork. You will enjoy this one for sure. -AM

Fresh new Avicii mashup

Mashups had their heyday a year or so ago and have somewhat faded out but there are still a few talented people who push out some awesome mashups. This is a new one that combines one of my favorite songs, Levels, with a song I had never heard by The Knocks. I must say I am a fan of this one. The vocals add in nicely to Levels.

Pretty Lights Dubstep Mix

Here's 2 sick dub mixes, one of John Denver's Country Roads, and one of their concert at Bonnaroo, which is pretty amazing. Pretty Lights has some of the sickest beats I've heard and they sure know how to put on an awesome concert. I went in September and it was the best concert I've ever been to.

Trey Palms is one of those rappers that you know is going to blow up eventually. He's from Charlottesville, Va, a graduate of St. Anne's-Belfield, and its been his dream to be a rapper. His flow is unreal and his beats are sick. He's making a tour on the east coast soon so be sure to go check him out if he's in your city. Here's one of his most well known songs: Made #ThumbsUpFistBump

A full hour of THE GLITCH MOB

The trio that makes up the Glitch Mob definitely knows how to put on a show. They had one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The way they utilize the Lemur beat pad is pretty mind-blowing.
