Electro-House | Logic – Just Another Day (Feature Cuts Remix)
Posted by Jess on April 27, 2012
With Logic’s upcoming mixtape Undeniable dropping on April 30th, Feature Cuts decided to release a remix of one of Logic’s standout tracks from his last mixtape “Just Another Day”. Cleverly combining element of electro, dubstep and hip hop, Feature Cuts turns the song into a Electro House banger. This is definitely the first time I’ve heard someone flip one of Logic’s tracks, one of the most quickly rising stars in Hip Hop today, and Feature Cuts does it well.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Jadakiss – Consignment
Posted by GMONEY on April 27, 2012
Jadakiss returns for a hard-hitting mixtape with beats reminiscent of his early days with Bad Boy. The features on this mixtape are OBSCENE, with all of The LOX (Jadakiss’s group) including Sheek Louch and Styles P, along with Wale, Swizz Beatz, Waka Flocka, Meek Mill, Fabolous, Lloyd Banks, Young Jeezy, Yo Gotti, French Montana, I could keep going…the producers are just as impressive with Jahlil Beats, Young Joc and AraabMuzik being just a few. Right from the start, Jahlil Beats murders the beat on “Paper Tags”, and Wale’s verse is nasty. “Respect It”, the track with Fabolous and Lloyd Banks, is straight up dirty, Marly kills the beat. Listen to the mixtape below; D-BLOCK.

Albums, Review, Trance | Dash Berlin – #musicislife
Posted by Mach on April 27, 2012
#musicislife, what I hope to be one of the most used hash-tags today. At the moment I am writing this it is Thursday still and I am only 3 tracks in and my mind is completely blown. Dash Berlin is a legend when it comes to vocal Progressive Trance. Armada music must be celebrating this albums success already and it’s not even released yet.
Now this where I have finished listening to this album. I am completely speechless, this was one of the most incredible albums I have listened to in a long time. It is insulting for me to have any favorites from this, each track is amazing on its own. If I was held at gun point my top 5 would be ‘Better Half Of Me,’ ‘Silence In Your Heart,’ ‘Go It Alone,’ ‘Like Plates Spinning,’ and ‘Fool For Life.’ The 5 tracks cut me deep, the emotions of them are almost overwhelming which is why I chose them. To give a run down on all the different vocalists featured on this album would take ages. With that said though, it is incredible how many different great female and male vocalists were featured on this. Including the amount of artists that Dash collaborated with. From now on when people ask me for good Trance, I will just tell them to listen to this entire album.
Compilation, Progressive House | Tiesto – Club Life – Volume Two Miami
Posted by Middy on April 27, 2012
Tiesto has released his massive Club Life compilation as an ode to one of the EDM capitals of the US, Miami. His first Club Life was dedicated to Las Vegas, where he helped transform the music scene dominated by a Hip Hop to one of the EDM capitals of the world possibly second only to Ibiza. The overall album shows the current direction of Tiesto’s music himself and the direction of EDM with all progressive and electro house tracks making the cut on this incredible compilation. Unlike previous compilations that we have been seeing recently that are simply a whole bunch of other people’s songs, Tiesto either made or is part of 8 of 15 of the tracks. While only 6 of the tracks are brand new, in this day and age where the constant need for new songs is there and not all the songs are Tiesto’s, that is quite a good number.
The album starts off with Tiesto’s piano driven progressive track “Chasing Summers” that really has not gotten enough credit for its production work especially with the foreboding beginning, creating a massive sense of anticipation. The album continues with his “Space Junk”esque collaboration with Wolfgang Gartner “We Own The Night” and then moves through his big mainstream remixes of Gotye – “Somebody I Used To Know” and Coldplay “Paradise” that have gotten some serious tour play. The next two tracks is where the album is truly at its best with Sultan + Ned Shepard feat. Quilla – Walls and The Naked & Famous – Young Blood (Tiësto & Hardwell Remix). “Walls” is one of those vocal progressive house anthems you will hear this summer without really knowing who made it, but make sure to get to know this track, the vocals from Quilla and especially the euphoric melody make this a must have. Hardwell & Tiesto teaming on a track worked exceptionally well on “Zero 76” and it has worked at the same level on “Young Blood” with a sublime melody and great use of the indie vocals from The Naked & Famous. Read more and preview more tracks after jump. I recommend the unmixed version to get the whole track and it comes with the continuous mix that you would be buying anyway with the mixed CD.

House, Pop | Calvin Harris Feat. Ne-Yo – Lets Go (Incl. Calvin Harris Remix)
Posted by Middy on April 27, 2012
Calvin Harris is rising to the level of global superstar as a Dj / producer / writer / singer, and is incredibly talented at all of these. This whole package has not available until a day or two ago and for some reason this track has not really caught on for commercial success. Just give it some time. The original / radio mix is his next “We Found Love” with simple verses and a catchy hook and an upbeat, poppy instrumental. The Calvin Harris remix is for the people who want more Calvin Harris and less Ne-Yo as Calvin Harris elongates the song and adds more of an EDM flare to it.
