Automatic Toys is an electro rock band out of Toronto, Canada. The wobblicious “Deep Sleep” is filled with plenty of harmonic synths and the rock vocals simply set it off. These guys just posted a few new tracks on their myspace which can be heard here. Can’t wait to what these guys do next.

Also want to take a moment to notice to all the mash-ups coming out. Some of you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself… Just because Girl Talk recently released an album doesn’t mean you have to follow his lead. Stick with what your good at, we look forward to fresh and original things. K. Thx. Bye.

Finally found it! I had to do some digging for this great remix of Mumford and Sons “Little Lion Man” done by Creon that I received a while back, but it was well worth it. Creon is a dub-step producer from Dublin, Ireland who caught my attention at about the 18 second mark of this remix. The original of this song actually peaked at the 61st position on the US Billboard Hot 100.

STYLUST BEATS is dub step artist out of Vancouver who is solid booked through August. His tacks is for sale here. After throwing on their track, anyone can see why. We have a sexy arpeggiator to lead us in, a gratifying drop, a wobble bass that can only be described as cocaine for your ears.

STYLUST BEATS – 4 CENTERS YIKES!!!

The Glitch Mob has been on my radar for quite some time now and I honestly can’t believe I haven’t blogged about them sooner. Their Hip hop embed Electro Rock sound in “Drive Like You Stole It” (which you can get here) compliments their name perfectly. This song lets you drift away while its cuts bringing you back to current day.

It’s not like Phoenix needs an introduction, they’ve been everywhere in the media over the last year and were even able to break out and onto the radio airwaves. I hold them as one of today’s popular music key influences. You can’t listen to top 40 for fifteen minutes without hearing songs with some electro influence.

The question now, will the electronic scene continue to emerge on hit radio? It’s been said that Dub-step will soon take it’s place. I can see this but not as you and I know it today… certain elements are needed to make a song radio friendly. Dub fits many of these elements and with a little tweaking, we’re there. Artists are crossing the lines of genre more now than ever.

Considering the transformation the genre has taken this past year, it’s not impossible for that to happen within the near future. There’s always the risk of the musical landscape changing before this happens, but with singles today having seven or eight month lifespans that doesn’t seem to be in the cards.
