If you thought you’d heard Azari & III‘s “Reckless With Your Love” in every way imaginable, then you most definitely have yet to hear Permanent Vacation‘s deep and soulful take on the otherwise groovy single. According to RA‘s biography, Permanent Vacation is a German duo comprised of Benjamin Fröhlich and Tom Bioly, who first came together in 2006 to create the record label Permanent Vacation before dubbing themselves with the same moniker. Though this hidden gem was first released back in October 2010, its resurgence can be attributed to Azari & III’s release of the remixes, including those from Tensnake and DJ Sneak. Permanent Vacation stays largely true to the dance-y quality of the original while giving it more depth, and the interludes are reminiscent of a choir of Boyz II Men-esque angels, using their voices to raise the listener to the highest, most spiritual heights. This one’s definitely a keeper.

Tiga offers a more tech-house version of the same song, giving it more energy and definitely–most definitely–more bass.

If Keys N Krates aren’t already on your radar, they should be. The trio, hailing from our northern neighbor (Canada, for those of you who failed geography), appeals to a large crowd of music appreciators by dabbling in both EDM and rap, remixing songs by artists ranging from Snoop Dogg to Justice. What sets Keys N Krates apart from your typical DJ/producer-type is their ability to remix songs live: Jr. Flo utilizes his World Champion turntablist skills, Matisse rocks out on the keyboard, and Adam Tune provides some seriously infectious drummage to the mix. Though they may not be on your average EDM-lover’s radar like, say, Kaskade or SHM, they are sure to make themselves known, and are slated to perform at some of the US’ biggest festivals this year, including Ultra and DEMF.

Keys N Krates just recently released their remix for Miike Snow’s “Devil’s Work,” which in a word, is odd: Odd, but in a strangely beautiful way, where they make seemingly unmatchable beats and melodies flow in a rhythmic orgy. Take a listen here:

Oh boy is this tune exhilarating. Different, unique, innovative, and (insert synonym) that just pushes the barriers once again of what house has to offer. Otto Knows is obviously another producer from Stockholm who’s rising up the ranks like Jeremy Lin. Expect to see his name on many more blogs, in many more mixtapes, and on many more stages. Cheers.

Bonus: There is absolutely not one part of this song that isn’t remarkably exceptional. The things that progressive house can offer…

Save Me (Robbie Rivera Anthem Mix) – Ultra Nate

This is one talented chick. “Video Games” and “Born to Die” are great tracks even if they’re not house tunes. Gotta appreciate those once in a while. Lana Del Rey is a gem in the sense that she is both hot and extremely talented. Hopefully she has what it takes to stay in the game. Here is a heavy remix of “Video Games”. Enjoy.

Video Gamez (CAZZETTE’S Arrows Sting Hard Mix) – Lana Del Rey

Have a craving for some cutting edge EDM? Good because you’re in the right place. Sounds like a “Titanium Pt.2″ to me, but I’ll let you folks be the judge. Just add some Nicky Romero and Jack Beat, no big deal or anything. Vocal bliss. Next we got “Quasar” from HRS which is as hard-hitting as you’re going to get and it actually sound like something you would expect from Russia. Dance floor juggernaut. Cheers.
