Beats are so full of sound and feeling, every aspect of the spectrum hits you in waves. Having something beat in tune of your nature rhythms is delightfully pleasing, not only to the ear but to the soul. The escape gives you a bittersweet sense of urgency, attentiveness, and calm. I have put together some of my personal favorites for your enjoyment. Take in every aspect of the sound, linger in the moment, forget about the stresses of your existence, and enjoy songs of complete bliss and escape.
Above and Beyond featuring Richard Bedford Thing Called Love (Radio Edit)
The beats on this in combination with Bedford's voice and those lyrics just stood out for me. I love it! It gets your heart going and your brain moving. His voice is calming and emotional. Then it switches over to upbeat head-banging electronic dance. The beat becomes your rage and hopelessness, his voice a guide pulling you through the song. Sound just pumping into your ears as your blood pumps into your heart. This song just takes aside thinking and feeling and puts you into a realm of combination with pure natural instinct.
Motorcycle - As the Rush Comes
They take me into another universe, another realm of existence! The rhythmic beats of this song coincide with the lyrics and the emotional energy in her voice in perfect synergy. A great dance song as well as an escape to somewhere free and without structure, it develops into a rush coming over you and it is the tranquility of your mind at peace.

Bob Sinclair - World, Hold On
This song by Sinclair is a powerful reggae infused mix of rad beats and lyrics that begs humanity to continue. The whistles give the song a pleasant catchiness. The lyrics gives people hope that humanity will keep holding on, and its mixes compliment its harmonious nature.

“The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or defeat. Let nature take its course and your tools will strike at the right moment.”

Marina and the Diamonds - Lies (Zeds Dead Remix)
The sounds of this beauty of a song amp up even the most conservative of souls to a head banging rhythmic beat that is out of this world. Perfect amount of sound and lyrics. It tests your intensity level and makes you want more. Its powerful sounds has you listening over again, a little short in my opinion but I can't get enough!
Skylar Grey - Coming Home (A.N.O. Remix)
The beautiful sounds of the piano in this chillstep song puts my mind at peace. Tranquility surrounds me as I float through the abyss. Her voice is beautifully in sync with the soft flows of the piano music.
Rimshox - Reality Check
This song has hypnotic sounds softened by the sweet violin melody, the echos giving the song a deep feel. The beats keep the pace with the song's rapture. The sounds give it a mystery as if lost in a spiritual place. There are no understandable lyrics but the sounds emphasize the prophetic movement of the music.

Jodi and Hosta - My Life
This song has a interesting old-fashioned sounding twist in her voice, which then turns into an upbeat movement of sounds. The chillstep melody in the background with violins keep it feeling surreal and tranquil. The whole song almost sounds a bit jazzy while also being part of the dance scene.
