Weekly Playlist: FIST PUMP
.
Written by Conrad Yu
FIST PUMP! Those who do it “like champs” know the perfect kind of music perfect for the action: house music. Whether it is a remix or an original, house music has millions of fans all across Europe, and now America, jumping around and head banging to blaring 4/4. Keep in mind, when listening, that one can only enjoy electro house music to its fullest when the speakers muffle out all other sounds. So crank up that bass, put the volume to the maximum, and let the music make your body do whatever it feels like (nine out of ten, it’ll be a head bob).
The following playlist is but a small sample of some of the more popular songs. The beats are guaranteed to make you want to go to a rave or, at least, stare at a strobe light for an extended period of time. Let’s just say that this is quintessential party music for the new decade.
Moar Ghosts N Whatever (Deadmau5) – This ridiculously catchy piece comes from our good Canadian DJ Deadmau5 (pronounced dead mouse). It’s actually the third in a series of songs, the first two of which are Ghosts N’ Stuff and Moar Ghosts N’ Stuff.
Da Funk (Daft Punk) – One of the earliest songs in house history that was actually popular, Da Funk was recorded in 1995. It’s also by one of the most recognized artists: Daft Punk.
Bounce ft. N.O.R.E. (MSTRKRFT) – Perhaps MSTRKRFT’s (pronounced master craft) most popular song, Bounce is the perfect tune for any party, whether it be a one man rave or a music festival.
Knights of Cydonia The Integrals Remix (Muse, the Integrals) – So, imagine for a second that you took possibly the greatest contemporary rock band, and you made their song even more rock-out-able by adapting guitars, drums and bass to the synthesizer. This, dear friends, is the result. Enjoy.
Warp 1.9 (The Bloody Beetroots) – WHOOP! WHOOP! ‘Nuff said.
99 Problems vs. Phantom II (Jay-Z vs. Justice; mixed by Trashbag Kids) – They say Jay-Z goes with anything. Who knew it would go so beautifully with Justice? While not a big name yet, Trashbag Kids goes to show that, in house, big names aren’t the only ones who produce prodigious work.
Genesis (Justice) – Although not as upbeat, Genesis makes you feel ridiculously cool and really, really, really good looking (like Alexander Most and Derek Zoolander). It’s the perfect walking song, simply because it will make walking that much more epic.
Fire Power (Wolfgang Gartner) – If you want to have a good dance jam, this is it. It’ll make you want to fist pump a hole through the roof.
Pursuit of Happiness Steve Aoki Remix (Kid Cudi) – So, I heard you like Kid Cudi. Well, if you also like house, and, even more specifically, Steve Aoki, this song will probably explode your brain.
Let Me Think About It (Ida Corr) – This Danish singer partnered up with Fedde le Grand to bring you this party jam.
I Feel You (Andi Vax & DJ Romantic & Erik) – This one’s more electro than house, but equally great for making your parents yell at you for playing awesome party music too loudly.
Who’s Your Daddy? (Benny Benassi) – This Italian DJ captures one of the four spirits that make up house music: meiosis (SEX). If you think this song is hot, check out the music video. However, take caution, as it is NSFW (Not Safe For Work) .
Put Your Hands Up For Detroit (Fedde le Grand) – Who cares if the song praises Detroit? It’s downright catchy!
