I was debating whether or not to make a Halloween mix this year and – I nearly didn’t thanks to some nightmarish plumbing issues at home – I decided to present a sampling, a collection if you will, of eerie electronic dance music that could be played as a set, or serve as a reference tool for djs looking for tracks to help creep out the dancefloor on this most sinister occasion.
Unlike the selections I wrote up on last year’s Halloween post, I stayed away from the over-the-top silliness and camp that often accompanies this day of the year and focussed instead on the techy, aggro, creepy, horrorshow side.
I present to you in the spirit of all things unholy…
1. Jamie Jones – Amazon [Freak ‘N’ Chic]
2. Harry Axt – Tag Der Befreiung [Grand Petrol Recordings]
3. Mika – Grace Kelly (Tom Neville Remix) [Universal Island Records]

5. Alexander Robotnick – Jette Le Masque [Hot Elephant Music]
6. Da Fresh – Electronic Supafreak[Weaked Records]

8. Cubenx – Asleep (LOD Remix) [Sinergy Networks]
9. Brian Sanhaji – Quantum [CLR]
10. Sex Schon – Cock’N’Roll [PIAS]
11. Lowkey & Noisebuilder – Dancefloor Heaven [GOOG Records]
12. The Autobots & Screwface – Flesh Eater (General Midi’s ‘Kent Brockman’ Remix) [Broke]
