Big Gigantic have decided to go big by releasing their latest album "The Night is Young" on their website. The new album includes 8 brand new tracks and on first listen I think they have really outdone themselves with a beautifully bold statement filled with fresh beats laced with that infectious live sax and drums. This is a huge piece of musical artistry that should be supported by all, give it a listen via this stream:
Kennedy Jones has a new original track available to download on his Soundcloud called "Sinful" and it's huge. It's one of those tracks that doesn't quite fit neatly into a genre category but what I do know is that drop is going to drive people nuts come festival time, check it out:

Kaskade delivers yet another mashup available for free download on his Soundcloud page. This mashup combines Kaskade's vocals for "Everything" and mixes it in with Florian Picasso's "Artefact":

Nest HQ caught up with Boys Noize in a lenghty interview filled with interesting tidbits. In this following answer, read how Boys Noize describes how he came to listen to his first Skrillex track - it's quite amusing:
"That’s a good question. I think it was around 2011, shortly after I met him. The first thing I noticed was the release on Deadmau5’s label. To be honest, I didn’t pay much attention to it at first (laughs), because that label wasn’t too much my sound — but then more and more people kept talking about it, and I was like, ‘Alright, let me check it out,’ and actually I really loved what I was hearing. It reminded me a little bit of what I’ve heard from Justice, in a new way, in a different tempo, and with different samples. I really liked it. I was definitely impressed by his production skills."
