Ursula 1000 – “Zombies (Dj Ayers RMX)” (play/download)
When it comes to artists who ignore trends and write original electronic songs, Ursula 1000 and DJ Ayers would be two artists who come to mind. And if I had to predict what kind of techno would provide the soundtrack to an all out zombie invasion, it would be acid. “Zombies” is a classic techno lovers wet dream and I hope that when a zombie catches me and starts chewing on my brain, this song is blasting in the background.

Diplo & Laidback Luke – “Hey (Original Mix)” (play/download)
No other contemporary producer pulls as much sound from percussion and bass as Diplo does. And like every other successful electronic producer before him, Diplo has his own take on bass. While most producers are blasting their basslines as far into outer space as possible, Diplo continues to explore South American and African rhythms giving “Hey” a tribal feel, yet it’s dirty enough to smoke out the party’s biggest bassheads.
