I may not be able to embed the videos, but I can link them!
So this song is groovy and simple. I love it. This video is absolutely crazy, too. I had to be one of those people, but obviously this is a very.. drug inspired thing. I must say I really, really love Ambers voice and the lyrics to go along with this song. I have no idea what it all means, let along the video, but somehow I get this strong vibe toward the end (you'll know when)
HUGE. once 0:40 hits, my mind goes absolutely nuts. That layer in the background feels like a wave of a thousand colorful lights washing over my body. I can't get enough of tracks like this. These sounds strike me as audio orgasms.
Also, I first learned about Madeon from this video years back, which is worth a watch (http://youtu.be/lTx3G6h2xyA). Those launchpads are seriously awesome.
The thing I soon loved about House music was that is isn't all just dancy and formulaic. Don't get me wrong, this song is still dancey, and any genre/subgenre is going to formulaic to some extend, by nature, but this particular song has a very soothing groove that hits you very strongly. The video meshes well and is very interesting and stylish while not overpowering the video. It's all a very good background groove and video.
BTW, the original is very worth hearing too. (http://youtu.be/YyOdS9N-WXk)
Don't judge me.
This song has a very oldschool vibe to it, and besides the video, I have really no reason to say that. I don't even know how to describe why I like this song so much, I just do. It's not trying to be anything more than what it is.

But seriously, this is pretty classic Pryda. Still very good, though.
IDM-y, weird groove that is very enjoyable to me, at least. Even if you don't like it, I suggest fast fowarding to about... 2:44 ish. Shit gets furry.
Like Hot Chip - Flutes (Sasha remix), this song is groovy as hell and I am in love with this video. Just plain cool.
IDM isn't everyone's cup of tea, and it usually isn't mine, but damn.. it's Squarepusher. How can I not love Squarepusher?
As a warning, there are a few screeches in this song, so don't turn your volume up TOO high. I consider that a general IDM warning though.
So, true story. A few years ago I went to DEMF (Detroit Electronic Music Festival... or Movement as it is called.), and
draconum really turned my on to Ghostly International. Although I had not been a big fan of Matthew Dear's stuff, this song is ridiculously awesome. Oozes groove.
AAAND FINALLY.
HD, FULL SCREEN, RELAX. While not technically 2012 (2013!), this single absolutely blows my mind. Previous things I've heard from Emancipator don't even come close to how absolutely beautiful this song is to me. The video, as well, is very beautiful.
Oh, and also the song is FREE here: http://locirecords.bandcamp.com/track/minor-cause
The album comes out 1/29/13, and I, for one, will definitely be buying it.
Major Lazer - 'Get Free' feat. Amber (http://youtu.be/OI3shBXlqsw)So this song is groovy and simple. I love it. This video is absolutely crazy, too. I had to be one of those people, but obviously this is a very.. drug inspired thing. I must say I really, really love Ambers voice and the lyrics to go along with this song. I have no idea what it all means, let along the video, but somehow I get this strong vibe toward the end (you'll know when)
Madeon - Icarus (http://youtu.be/XHs99iVpnXU)HUGE. once 0:40 hits, my mind goes absolutely nuts. That layer in the background feels like a wave of a thousand colorful lights washing over my body. I can't get enough of tracks like this. These sounds strike me as audio orgasms.

TNGHT - Goooo (Hudson Mohawke x Lunice) (http://youtu.be/3-kjLzAIYAY)Don't judge me.
Digitalism - Falling (http://youtu.be/TD7q1NU5j-s)This song has a very oldschool vibe to it, and besides the video, I have really no reason to say that. I don't even know how to describe why I like this song so much, I just do. It's not trying to be anything more than what it is.
Pryda (Eric Prydz) - Allein (http://youtu.be/a7lm6XWtKVU)http://memegenerator.net/instance/32904745
But seriously, this is pretty classic Pryda. Still very good, though.
XXYYXX - About You (http://youtu.be/lG5aSZBAuPs)IDM-y, weird groove that is very enjoyable to me, at least. Even if you don't like it, I suggest fast fowarding to about... 2:44 ish. Shit gets furry.
Burial & Four Tet - Nova (http://youtu.be/Z96TWrEdMM4)Like Hot Chip - Flutes (Sasha remix), this song is groovy as hell and I am in love with this video. Just plain cool.
Squarepusher - Dark Steering (http://youtu.be/XvLAKrVbCBM)IDM isn't everyone's cup of tea, and it usually isn't mine, but damn.. it's Squarepusher. How can I not love Squarepusher?

Matthew Dear - Her Fantasy (http://youtu.be/WawXqpqwRn0)So, true story. A few years ago I went to DEMF (Detroit Electronic Music Festival... or Movement as it is called.), and
draconum really turned my on to Ghostly International. Although I had not been a big fan of Matthew Dear's stuff, this song is ridiculously awesome. Oozes groove.AAAND FINALLY.

I liked his song "Finale" quite much. =3
Madeon, Eric Prydz, Matthew Dear, and especially Emancipator will be getting my full attention! The video for Minor Cause is just amazing!
