I can just keep going and going. I'm getting tired. hahaha I'm trying to play DJ and give the most amount of songs that most people have heard. It's better to test headphones with songs you know. If you don't know these songs, rather you like them or not, they should be in your subconscious. I threw in some of my favourites and songs I use to test things out as well.

Oneohtrix Point Never's R Plus 7 Album would be my pick.  I listened to the whole album on a $350,000 speaker setup, drooled.. raced home and listened to it with my HE-4s. There's just something magical about planars and this album.
 
If, and that's a big if... if I had to pick once song, it would be Still Life from the album
 
Now, this is Problem Areas, since YouTube doesn't have Still Life, but also a great song!

Blood Orange – You’re Not Good Enough

You have totally awsome taste is electronic music, man!! Seems you mostly like synth-pop & minimal house styles. You just turned me onto a new group I really like. Haim. I just heard of them but it looks like they've been around a few years. Some other pretty good similar sounding synth-pop with female vocals is Chvrches. .. Blood Orange sounds good too and most of your trax seem mastered quite well.
