Progressive House | EDX – Live My Life (Extended Vocal Mix)
Posted by Mel on August 4, 2013
Branching off slightly from his typical production style, EDX gives away a track that he made for last years EDC NY that he says crowds love. “Live My Life” is a lot more mainstream than his usual songs but it’s still a fun and catchy tune.

Progressive House | Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding – I Need Your Love (Swanson Remix)
Posted by Mel on August 1, 2013
When the acapella of this song was given away by Calvin Harris himself, I immediately went to the washroom, splashed some water on my face and put some lotion on my hands cause they were kinda dry in preparation of an amazing remix that I knew was sure to come. I’m not really a huge fan of the original. To me it’s just a semi-enjoyable pop song. In fact, I just watched the music video for it and am now a bit annoyed because Mr. Harris and Ellie Goulding kissed a few times and as a guy I don’t really know how to react to two people kissing it’s like they are just making me feel bad that I don’t have a gf but whatever I don’t even care. I was waiting for somebody to turn the pop song into a huge, wonderfully atmospheric progressive track and when I saw that Swanson had remixed it I knew my search was over. To me, the original is a night spent watching cooking tutorial videos on Youtube while Swanson’s remix is a night spent hanging out with Miley Cyrus and watching her make a fool of herself like in that one music video. So, in conclusion, Swanson remixed this track perfectly. If you enjoyed Ellie’s vocals but wanted an instrumental with a little more substance then this is it.

Progressive House | Coldplay – Clocks (Jeter’s Fe5tival Rework)
Posted by Mel on August 1, 2013
You ever do a bit of meth, glance lustfully at the semi-nude drawing of Judge Judy you’re working on, go down to the mall and shake your head at high school kids holding hands, then return home to lie in bed for a few hours and eat cookies even though it’s like 3PM? Well that’s pretty much what my last couple of weeks has been so you can see why I haven’t posted anything (the site’s also been down for a bit but let’s just ignore that). There hasn’t been a song that I really felt compelled to post but even so, it’s been a while so I felt a little bad. So, I give you guys this. A progressive house remix of Coldplay’s “Clocks”. Jeter is the producer responsible for this remix and there is practically no information about him anywhere, except that he is a young lad from the UK. Ladies, the above photo excites you doesn’t it? That is the only picture I could find of him. He doesn’t have a logo or any artwork and judging by his perfectly done hair and seductive look, he’s very mysterious and cute. I know a Coldplay remix is somewhat lame but trust me, this one’s good. If you disagree then send Middy an email saying how much I suck. He will forward it to me and I will send you my top 10 Instagram finds of girls on vacation as an apology.
Chill | The 1975 – Me (T.H.I.E.F.S remix)
Posted by Mel on July 18, 2013
Seeing as how I have subconsciously taken my shirt off hours ago and instead of going to Bed Bath and Beyond to get my mom some new pillows after I accidentally spilled a bowl of steak marinade that I was mixing while on her bed I am now, and have been since it happened, hiding in my room, so it was the perfect time for me to have come across this song. T.H.I.E.F.S (great name btw) is a garage/chill/electronic producer from the UK. His latest remix is a bit different from his previous few releases. In this he has added a touch of house to his pleasant chillwave that he does so well and it works out great. I don’t really know how to further describe this track so I will leave you with this. If you were to slice up a lemon, toss it in the air, go and walk your dog, come back and go to bed, wake up, go to your kitchen, slip on it, then pick up a slice of the lemon, it would still be cleaner than the piece of lemon that was in my iced tea last night. Absolutely ridiculous. What was that waitress doing.

In case you were wondering what his chillwave sounded like..
Indie | Valente – The Distant Lights (Anoraak Remix)
Posted by Mel on July 18, 2013
Backwards snapbacks, so unique. As is the moment in time where a song keeps me coming back for more. I rarely download songs anymore because, like a girl whose profile pic is of her shoulders and above, you just can’t be sure. Right, the song is good. Is it great? No, anybody in a tube top is great. Being in the presence of a homeless man eating a bowl of Rice Krispies is great. Watching my buddy and his gf make brownies and then ask me to leave so they can do other stuff is great. Anoraak’s remix of Valente’s “Distant Lights” is also great. It has maken the cut of the very few songs I download a week so I think it’s something worth listening to.
Soft, gentle vocals and a soothing instrumental is what this track consists of. That is really all that needs to be said.

Progressive House | Project 46 vs Linkin Park (Shadow of the Day Mix)
Posted by Mel on July 17, 2013
In terms of progressive house producers, Project 46 is among Canada’s finest. Not only are their productions consistently amazing, but they are also adamant on giving their tracks away for free. Something extremely commendable for artists in their position. They are back with a new track and it is absolute magic. They’ve amalgamated an incredibly cheery original with Linkin Park’s “Shadow of the Day”. Another quality track from the duo.

Progressive House | The Two Friends ft. Jeff Sontag – Sedated
Posted by Mel on July 16, 2013
The Two Friends’ latest original “Sedated” features the superb vocals of Jeff Sontag and follows the same vein as their previous remix of “World In Our Hands” that I found a liking to. It starts off a little slow before finding its stride in the build and fully taking off in the drop. Even though there is an oddly out of place piano during the drops, this is still a great song that is worth sharing.
