Alright, so everyone knows the “Harlem Shake” by now thanks to the power of viral videos. Baauer has made his throne a top the Hot 100 this week thanks to the inclusion of YouTube video plays now tallied. For those who pay attention to electronic, trap, and indie music, “Harlem Shake” is nothing new, in fact, I moved on to other tracks by Baauer relatively quickly.
Disclosure had a strong 2012, but 2013 is already looking like it’ll be the young British duo’s year. The electronic, post-dub producers have unleashed a killer track titled “White Noise.” The song is a collaboration with fellow up-and-comers AlunaGeorge, a British pop/electro duo who have an amazing track record with their releases thus far, including “Your Drums, Your Love,” “Body Music” and “Watching Over You.”
For those of you still obsessed with SBTRKT after his mesmerizing self-titled debut album, a new production team has come to further solidify this post-dubstep electronic genre. Disclosure continues this moody atmosphere of dark electronic music with inescapable hooks. The young UK duo have already garnered much attention thanks to their hit dance track “Latch,” which features Sam Smith, which has now peaked at number 11 on the UK chart.
