IIc by State Shirt
State Shirt messing with his Apple IIc turns out to be a more addictive track than most of what I come across. Excellent.
He also made a video song. Watch him recording the track!

Suffocation by Crystal Castles, remixed by Memory Tapes
Gorilla vs Bear: "Memory Tapes works his magic on this extended version of Crystal Castles‘ Suffocation, transforming the original into a darker, narcotic (but still danceable) dreamscape, with tinges of the kind of faded melancholic nostalgia that Memory Tapes seems to conjure at will."

Only Reason by Heather Brave and Jeris
I like to let ccMixter editor SackJo22 describe Only Reason for me. "Jeris + ccmixter newcomer Heather Brave. Soft. Rich. Textured. Acoustic pop deliciousness led by a melodic upright bass line and Heather’s expressive vocal. Mmmmm."

Falling by Snowflake
Falling has gotten a lot of remix attention lately at CCMixter, and it's no mystery as to why. It's got a hot acapella with a solid piano accompanying. "My heart on the floor" is an irresistible line.

Telluric Undercurrent by Revolution Void
Telluric Undercurrent is such a strong blend of ambient electronic and traditional jazz progressions and improvisations that I'm thrilled to have found it.
I highly recommend vorbis if you want to squeeze space or FLAC if you want the highest quality experience.

Invasion Of The Not Quite Dead by MC Frontalot
Invasion of the Not Quite Dead was created with a crowd-funded zombie flick. It gives appropriate weight to the horrors of mortality, and what it might be worth to avoid them.
