DJ-Set, Electro-House, Progressive House | Nicky Romero Essential Mix
Posted by Middy on April 28, 2012
Nicky Romero appeared on BBC Radio One’s legendary Essential Mix show last night and definitely made the most of his opportunity, using every second of the 2 hours allotted to him to display his mastery as a producer and as a Dj mixing seamlessly through his extensive discography with hot tracks from others in the industry, while putting together a few impressive bootlegs such as his “Titanium” remix bootleg. He takes the opportunity to play many of his already released tracks, but he also uses this medium to showcase to the world some of his upcoming tracks including his UMF ID that is now a collaboration with ZROQ called WTF and will be released on Nicky Romero’s own Protocol Records.
He also played much his anticipated collaboration with Avicii “Nicktim”, a new collaboration with David Guetta that sounds great, Sander van Doorn’s upcoming anthem “Nothing Inside”, Dyro & Ansol’s electro house banger “Top Of The World”, and the first radio play of Avicii & Lenny Kravitz – Superlove (Original Mix). Nicky Romero is cementing himself as a superstar in EDM with the ability to produce all sorts of genres moving from his works with Fedde le Grand that have more of a tech feel, to his progressive solo works and those with David Guetta and his harder grimier tracks he has done on his own. The essential mixes coming at us this year have been crazy good with the previous two from Alesso & Arty both being must listens. This is perfect for your Saturday so Nicky Romero start off or continue your raging. Tracklist after the jump.

“Brain Cells” | Chance the Rapper from Austin Vesely on Vimeo.
After just posting his mixtape, 10Day, Chance dropped some visuals to one of the stand out tracks. Although the beat is rather relaxing and slow, Chance’s flow on this song is on point. Visuals done by Austin Vesely. If you’re in Chicago on May 3rd, tweet #ASAPCHANCE to get Chance to open up for A$AP Rocky. If you have yet to download the tape, hop on that because it’s a MUST DOWNLOAD
Hip-Hop | PropaneLv- Drank In My Cup (Cover)
Posted by A on April 28, 2012
Building on his previous “Boyfriend” cover, PropaneLv covers Kirko Bangz’s promethazine inspired “Drank In My Cup” single that’s finally finding its way into more styrofoam cups in north. Hailing from Portland, PropaneLv is an artist that’s making waves in the blogosphere. My only complaint with this track is that I wish it was longer! Shout out to Colin, Mikey, and the Dirty Laces la familia!

Hip-Hop, Videos | Chief Keef ft. Riff Raff- Cuz’ My Gear (Video)
Posted by A on April 28, 2012
“Camp counselor, living in the lap of lux, double cheese deluxe, in a penguin tux.”
Next week, Riff Raff will be signing a 2.7 million dollar deal with Major Lazer’s Diplo. I can’t tell you how many people give me a hard time when I post Riff Raff. What started out as a joke, has become something serious, as Riff Raff has proven himself slowly but surely. You don’t have to like Riff Raff’s music, but you have to respect his hustle. I get it. Diplo gets it. America will get it soon enough.

Progressive House | Cosmo Klein – By Tonight (Nilson & The 8th Note Remix)
Posted by Middy on April 28, 2012
Nilson and The 8th Note are upcoming dutch producers who have been making some fantastic uplifting progressive house tracks together. The remix of Cosmo Klein – By Tonight takes the male vocals and adds a smooth, euphoric synth melody over top with a varying bass line dominated by a clap underneath. The production work on this track is outstanding keeping some of the indie flavor of the original, while turning this into a progressive masterpiece. This track has been heavily supported by Nicky Romero, so hit the play button above and go and get this track.

Also check out an original “Look For Love” from Nilson & The 8th Note they did with a similar big room progressive house style that is sure to get you moving with female vocals, thumping bass and a moving melody in the break. After the jump is a fantastic FREE remix from Tinman of Smoothiesforme, a Scottish singer, that gets transformed into a smooth progressive track with well crafted piano and synth melodies.

Electro | Louis La Roche – Untrue (Dave Edwards Remix)
Posted by Jess on April 27, 2012
Not really familiar with Louis La Roche but I am always down for a new Dave Edwards remix. As usual, Dave Edwards kills on the production on this one and makes it even better than the original. The remix features the poppy, smooth synths that Dave Edwards is known for and if you are a fan of his previous work, you’ll love this. May be his best yet.
