And this song in particular has always been a favorite of mine. So in comes Rage Valley to capture the spirit of Halloween in a college town….senseless drinking and noise!! This song comes off their second EP as Knife Party, somehow topping the legendary 100% No Modern Talking EP. Now I tried to limit songs on this list to one per artist….but I had to make an exception for Rob Swire, I simply just couldn’t say no. So by that logic it should rightfully be named a classic at this point, and still well-worth including in any Halloween list. And it sounds just as great today as it did when I was a wee freshman learning to tolerate the taste of Natty Light. This song is one of my favorites from when little Sonny here was just starting out with this soon-to-be global phenomenon. And also the fact that if I were to leave Skrillex off this playlist it’s be a downright crime. The name of this song should be reason enough to include it on this list. Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites – Skrillex They’re also perfect to embody the Halloween spirit at it’s best!! And then when that beat drops, you can guarantee the freaks out there will be having a ballin’ ass time. The lyrics are simple, repetitive, and addictive. Freaks Have More Fun is simply a ground thumper if I were ever to describe one. This one is actually a brand new release (or not actually officially released yet) song from some of the kings when it comes to going bananas (let’ be honest, they’re a close second to the bananas in pajamas). Anyway, check this shit out if you’ve never heard it and I guarantee you’ll be pleasantly surprised. I’m guessing the original thought behind this was “hey they both have the word rock in it so this should work great” and usually in practice that’s terrible….except in this one rare ass case. Whenever it comes on it always gets my blood pumping, in fact I’m usually disappointed when it’s the original Queen or Daft Punk song rather than this. Coming off the soundtrack of the original DJ Hero (yes that was a game) this Daft Punk vs Queen mashup is simply perfect. Robot Rock vs We Will Rock You – Daft Punk/Queen Anyway this song, if I were to describe a relevant scenario, is like being in a chase scene….and you’re being chased by a swarm of Vultures….then all of a sudden you find yourself running through an army base on lockdown…and then the VULTURES COME BACK!!….and then in the end you die….and they play that creepy organ crap at your funeral. This French duo used to kill it back in the day, hope to see more of them in the future but time will tell I guess. or maybe even their critically acclaimed song Genesis. You may know them from the song D.A.N.C.E. Not many people may be familiar with this song, but for me it’s one of my longtime favorites from Justice. And once that beat drops, I pretty much just start going fucking nuts (and by nuts I mean a vicious combination of chugging/fighting/screaming/and the like). Now for the actual song, when it starts that chorus in the intro is simply haunting, like I could totally see Frankenstein being resurrected to this song if that ever were to become a thing. The only memory I have of this song was from when I first heard it at Ultra…yeah here’s the video of that right here. I’d be lying if I said I never air-drummed to thi song in public like an idiot.Īgain another one of my favorites (you’re seeing a trend here I know) and this one comes from Knife Party (aka Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen after Pendulum broke up). It’s like going from turtle to rabbit on the Hot Wheels Jeep you had when you were 5 years old, there’s just no other feeling like it. But then just at the 0:46 mark, this mother fucker explodes. The start off seems sort of off putting and slow, like you’d expect more from the drum and bass band. Next is another one of my personal favorites from Pendulum, with Witchcraft (I was happy the name was relevant enough to include here). Definitely the perfect intro to any Halloween Playlist. But then in the blink of an eye the piano used for the ghoulish melody all of a sudden turns straight into the ever-familiar chords of Ghosts N’ Stuff….and then the bass hits. Starting off with a ghoulish melody that you’ve surely heard before, you almost think it’s the wrong song. And in this Hard Intro edit you’ll see just why it’s relevant. First up I obviously couldn’t start this off any other way than with my dude right here, and one of my favorite songs of all time.
