At the beginning of every week oodles of new singles, EPs, albums are released to digital music stores worldwide for fans to enjoy. There’s a whole lot of good stuff that gets lost in that pile of music and were here to make sure it doesn’t slip through your fingertips. Weekly, we’ll be throwing up brief overviews of our favorites along with links where to buy them, so you can get the tracks that fit your fancy.

Joint label Joia/Nero Recordings released a 10 year anniversary collection, with a selection of exclusive tracks from their best & most exciting signees to date. The album is littered with tech and progressive housey goodness. Here are some of our favorites: Alex Sayz delivers with an embrace of retro-funked blended into a big room feel in “Acid Kills,” Tim Berg aka Avicii gives us an official release & slight re-edit of “Before This Night Is Through,” and John Dahlback goes with a very innovative, oddly fantastic tune in “Kremlin” (check it out below). Wanna cop all these tracks and more? Beatport is your answer.

Before This Night Is Through (Bad Things) – Tim Berg

Zed’s Dead dropped a serious bomb on everybody with their anticipated Dim Mak released single “Ruckus The Jam.” Make sure you have some wear protection before engaging this track, otherwise you’re in for some serious damage. It’s like they took the best glitchy electro house grooves you can think of and then overdosed it with some serious ZD signature FX & bass… you gotta have it. Exclusively on Beatport!

The second chapter in SOFI’s “Locked & Loaded” Saga is side step of the first, bringing in a whole different style of bass with the likes of Noisia, Skrillex, and Kill The Noise; loads different from the Millions Like Us collabs. “Again Sometime,” the second of the two tracks, is a testament to SOFI’s sensual vocals, as she wades through that tasty Noisia filth. Check it out below, and grab the tracks on Beatport.

Again Sometime (Original Mix) – SOFI & Noisia

Jack Beats has a new track out, and “End Of Love” is a slur of his crisp dubstep wobbles, deep-seated electronic drive, and some quirky energy. As always, Jack is delivering a fresh sound and along with it is a basstastic remix from Kutz, and a more euro-house take from Oliver $. Beatport, check it out.

“Mode” the new single from Bingo Players has got me absolutely hooked. This is by far their most successful track at appealing the better part of the masses, with a constructed melody that is sing-along good, you know, even they they aren’t words… that kind of good. This is gonna be the platform for their new found surge into the worldwide EDM scene, get on board. On Beatport.
