Noisy Neighbor (Take It Off) – Akon ft. David Guetta

YouTube Preview Image

Akon and David Guetta are teaming up again after the massively successful collaboration, "Sexy Bitch," to offer up their new track, "Noisy Neighbor (Take It Off)." It's slightly more mellow than its predecessor, but the hook is amazing and we're sure that the clubs will eat this one up as well. We're curious to see what kind of music video this track will produce, considering "Sexy Bitch" has already stirred up controversy as far as Australia for its sexual imagery--and the fact that it's being aired during daytime TV. With a title like this, we have a hard time believing this duo is going to let anything hold them back.

Misery – Good Charlotte (Steve Aoki Remix)

Good Charlotte - Greatest Remixes (Deluxe Version)

We know what you’re thinking: how does Good Charlotte fit into the HipTronik mold? The answer is Steve Aoki.  The pop-punk band’s song “Misery” morphs into a dance-worthy mix with his helping hands. The song is based on a hard electronic sound that starts slow and then gradually builds into a high-frequency dance track. Aoki has a way with tracks, and “Misery” is a great example.

LMFAO - Party Rock - I Am Not a Whore

Now, for a song we can all relate to.  I was introduced to LMFAO’s “I am Not a Whore” in May 2008, via a live performance by LMFAO at a bar in Pasedena; I remember leaving the show singing to my friend, “I am not a Whore… BUT I like to DO IT!” Complete with Redfoo’s vivid description of his on-stage, crotch-grabbing experiences (by the crowd) and their own “Hip-Thrust” dance, this track celebrates a topic much loved by the human race!

Falling Down – Space Cowboy feat. Paradiso Girls

Space Cowboy - Falling Down (Remix) [feat. Chelsea] - EP - Falling Down (Space Cowboy Remix)

It may be a bit of a stretch to classify this Space Cowboy track as one of our genre, but his swagger definitely gives this song the "Hip" that legitimizes it as a Hiptronik track. Featuring label mate Paradiso Girls, this release is a prime example of how the world is shrinking as Space Cowboy represents the classy London club vibe. Look forward to more features of this guy; he's definitely a highlight on the Interscope roster and positioned for international success.

WARP – The Bloody Beetroots Feat. Steve Aoki

The Bloody Beetroots - Romborama - Warp 1.9 (feat. Steve Aoki)

This is probably closer to Electro than to the Hiptronik genre, but I wanted to feature this track simply to introduce one of the most innovative guys in the scene--Steve Aoki. Aoki is one of the few who was able to take an "underground" genre and put a face to it. I guess you could say this is an introductory track which meshes the personality of hip hop with the hard synthetic feel of the electro genre.
