Sorry about the lateness, haven't really had the time to post today but here are 5 songs that are sure to make up for it. I'm in an Electro-y kind of mood, so I present 5 ridiculously good Electro House songs.

Touch Down - In The Air (Featuring Big Daddi) (Radio Edit)
Artist: Touch Down (Featuring Big Daddi)
Song Title: In The Air
Genre: Electro
Description: This is a great song. The lyrics are somewhat repetitive and the theme is slightly unoriginal and reminiscent of 493875 other songs, but these are the last things on your mind when the song comes on. You'll be too busy throwing your hands in the air, running to the dance floor or just plain jumping up and down to this massive tune!

Felguk - Whatever Clever (Dirtyloud Remix)
Artist: Felguk
Song Title: Whatever Clever (Dirtyloud Remix)
Genre: Electro
Description: Felguk came out with a great song in 'Whatever Clever' but it was missing something. Then I heard the Dirtyloud Remix and they got it perfect. It was missing a punch, which is definitely delivered in this remix. Its great leading up to the main drop of the song, and then the drop takes place and BOOM. There's that punch, right in the face.

Thomas Duluc - Stupid Drinker (Dermot Bateman Remix)
Artist: Thomas Duluc
Song Title: Stupid Drinker (Dermot Bateman Remix)
Genre: Electro
Description: Dermot Bateman really has done a great job with this track. Although this link is 4 minutes, the actual entire song (which can be found on iTunes) is 8 and a half minutes of great production. It'll have you bobbing your head throughout. Well maybe not throughout because it IS 8 and a half minutes long. I really like what he's done with the track, creating an absolute dance floor destroyer, while not keeping to the norms of today's Electro hits (monotonous single beeping noises as drops). Definitely an artist to watch out for in the future. You can check out his soundcloud account here.

Lee Mortimer vs M&S - Bootsoul Nugget
Artist: Lee Mortimer and M&S
Song Title: Bootsoul Nugget
Genre: Electro
Description: This is definitely one of my favorite Electro songs ever. As an avid fan of dubstep, I really enjoy hearing good 'drops' as well as good WHOMP WHOMP which this track has. And its not dubstep! Lee Mortimer and M&S have made a great gateway from dubstep to house. For anybody who really enjoys dubstep, definitely give this song a try and tell me you don't like it. I extend this offer to anybody. I dare you.

Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Zedd Remix)
Artist: Skrillex
Song Title: Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Zedd Remix)
Genre: Electro
Description: I'm going to go ahead and say it. I'm not a huge fan of Skrillex. I tried to give him a chance when he signed to mau5trap with one of my favorite artists, Deadmau5, but to no avail. Then I heard this remix and realized that 'Zedd' is a genius. He took a less-than-half-decent dubstep track and made it into an amazing electro house track. By just adding a house beat and mixing some of this with some of that, he has come out with this amazing track. This isn't the only remix he's done either. He also remixed Skrillex's 'Weekends!!!' and made that much better too. If you want to check out more of his stuff you can check out his myspace here or his soundcloud here.

Well thats all for today. Hope you enjoyed!

Peace.
