Videos | Kanye West Performs “Black Skinhead” & “New Slaves”
Posted by A on May 19, 2013
I stayed in tonight just to watch Kanye West perform on SNL. Somewhere, while Kanye was blowing minds, there was middle-aged couple watching the performance unable to grasp what makes him great. Turning to his wife in utter befuddlement. Discounting him because he uses “curse” words in his songs. You small minded fucks, Yeezy is back. These lyrics are next level. The tribal stadium drums are absurd. Hit the jump for “New Slaves” below. “Yeezus” drops June 18th.

It has been a long semester, but things are slowly coming to an end for everyone. With that said summer is about to roll through along with the good times. Adam K just previewed a sensational progressive tune yesterday that could help kick start your summer festives. This track gives off a similar vibe to his remix of Refletk’s ‘Need To Feel Loved’ with Soha. The amazing progression through the tune alongside the uplifting chords sets the perfect summer mood for everybody. Speaking of his remix of Reflekt’s track, Adam said he would be releasing a 2013 re-edit sometime so keep an eye out on his page. In the mean time enjoy this little preview until we hear more about it’s future.
Progressive House | Tiësto ft. Kyler England – Take Me
Posted by Middy on May 18, 2013
Tiësto and his team have been busy cranking out tracks this year, from remixes for the likes of Passion Pit, Dada Life and Zedd, to now a flurry of originals set for release on his upcoming Tiësto Club Life Volume 3 Stockholm. “Take Me” with LA based vocalist Kyler England, is the first of that onslaught of originals from the compilation, giving us a taste of what we can expect from Tiësto on the collaboration riddled compilation. “Take Me” brings out the big room sound we have quickly become accustomed to hearing from Tiësto, balancing Kyler England’s vocals with an uplifting piano melody that cascades into a synth laden drop ready to rinsed out by the Dutch master this summer.

Progressive House | Dirty South ft. Joe Gil – Your Heart (Michael Brun Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 18, 2013
Still riding high from the success of his debut album, “Speed of Life“, Dirty South has continued to assert his dominance on the dance music world with his remix of Monsta’s “Messiah”. His Phazing Records protégé, Michael Brun, gets the duty of the first official remix for the album, a fitting task for the man who’s recent collaboration with the dynamic man from down under, “Rift“, is still rocking sets worldwide.
Michael Brun takes the original melody from Dirty South and adds more oomph to it, injecting his own rolling synth chords, while maximizing the vocals from Joe Gil, a vocalist I expect to see much more of on forthcoming dance music records. Michael Brun continues to impress, and with a 3 track EP on the way on Phazing Records, his future is only getting brighter.

Events, Videos | Watch: Above & Beyond’s Incredible Wynn Promo Video
Posted by Middy on May 18, 2013
Normally I don’t even bother to watch these videos or even given them the slightest thought because they are all the same. It is some DJ saying just “how excited” he is to be playing at X club in Vegas, as they pay him some exhorbinant amount of money to schmooze with VIPs wasting thousands on bottle service. Deadmau5 will be making 850,000 dollars per show at Hakkasan over the next 2 years if you want an idea of the money being thrown around. However, Above & Beyond, never one to follow the trend, come up with an innovative and incredible video, taking James Bond influences and apply it to their promo video for their short residency at the Wynn and their various clubs. Watch it all the way through, it is great to see their personalities and decent acting abilities shine through. Dates for their shows are below and you can get more info on the Wynn website here.

Electro-House | Krewella – Alive (Hardwell ‘The Final’ Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 17, 2013
You guys may be sick of this song by now with it getting plays on every popular radio station, but when a dance music heavyweight like Hardwell gets a hold of this, you have to listen. Hardwell has professed his love for Krewella‘s crossover hit single “Alive“, which recently went number one on Billboard’s dance chart, notably rinsing out the Cash Cash & Kalkutta remix during his sets, such as his highly acclaimed Ultra set. Hardwell decided to surprise the fast rising trio with a remix of his own, fitting the vocals to an instrumental that meshes with what he is bringing to his live show.
Krewella could not pass on the opportunity to make this official, thus the remix in front of you was born. It is clear the time Hardwell spent with W&W has influenced what he is bringing to his productions. The thunderous synths that we see from W&W creep their way into this remix as Hardwell mixes together the instantly recognizable vocals from Krewella with the perfect-for-the-live-show bombastic instrumental that he has created. Is that a hoverhand there Hardwell? C’mon man, don’t be shy, they don’t bite….too hard.
Progressive House | Henry Fong – Stand Up (Halftime)
Posted by Middy on May 16, 2013
Probably the only white guy with dreads with a remotely bright future, surfer dude Henry Fong follows up 2 heavily supported original releases with a free download that originally was just meant to be played out, but by popular demand he has released it to the general public. Taking a page out of the bombastic big room tracks that we have seen lately, Henry waltzes in a marching band to accompany the W&W-like big room beats bursting out of your speakers. I just imagine Nick Cannon (can you believe he got Mariah Carey?! I know me neither, she can still get it at 43) and his merry drum line competing with Henry, and battling for some prize of musical loudness. Anyway, just know this is meant to be played loud, for the live venue and its free, so get it.
