Kid Cudi - Man On the Moon - The End of Day (Expanded Version) - Pursuit of Happiness (Nightmare) [feat. MGMT & Ratatat]

As far as model HipTronik mixes go, “Pursuit of Happiness” hits the nail on the head. Kid Cudi’s hip hop swagger is a surprising compliment to MGMT and Ratatat’s fusion electro. The diverse elements between Cleveland-born Kid Cudi, New York-based Ratatat, and MGMT -- best known for the hit song “Kids” -- make for a magnetic track. But when you throw Steve Aoki into the lineup, remix chemistry abounds. “Pursuit of Happiness” speaks for itself, highlighting the artists’ best features in this electrifying mix.

Chester French - She Loves Everybody - EP - She Loves Everybody

"She Loves Everybody" is, by now, a classic viral hit by Chester French chronicling the tale of a young man and his out of control, flighty girlfriend. As if the original track wasn't already a musical masterpiece, with lines like "she craves affection so I use protection" and "always around to take control/ I never feel alone," the ever-ubiquitous Steve Aoki has worked his magic, pushing this song into a different dimension altogether. Capturing the eerie, almost defeatist sort of emotion of French, Aoki's electronic edge stops you in your tracks and dare we say, makes you really think. One YouTuber commented that this remix belongs in an art house. We'd have to agree.
