Progressive House | Hellberg – Saviors
Posted by Middy on August 14, 2014
Monstercat has always excelled at catching the little guy before they blow. Just a few like Project 46, Vicetone & Pegboard Nerds come to mind of the top of my head. Swedish producer Hellberg has slowly built his career over the past few years with some very solid remixes and originals, some of those on Monstercat and it seems like it is all finally coming together now. “Saviors” is his latest big, melodic original effort that you should cop right away since it is a free download.

Progressive House | Henrix & Sevag – Latina
Posted by Middy on August 14, 2014
Can you feel that bounce? Originally part of Cr2 Records Ibiza compilation earlier this summer, the full version of “Latina” has now hit stores. Two lovers of fine Latin women, it was fitting that these two would name a track after something like they are very fond for. As irresistible as a beautiful Latin woman on the beach of Miami, the tune comes at you an infectious groove and blaring horns. Grab this one below and get ready for more of these two.

Progressive House | Lush & Simon Feat. Delaney Jane – In My Hands
Posted by Middy on August 11, 2014
It was only a matter of time before these guys got big. With releases now on Revealed, Protocol, Armada, and now Doorn, the Italian duo continue to show signs of growth and improvement with each passing release. “Hunter” saw them integrate some more percussion based builds, while still returning to their strong suit in melodies. The duo have overcome a change in personnel with Simon being exchanged for another Simon and they have not skipped a beat, giving us the vintage driving melodic sound we know from Lush & Simon here with “In My Hands”.

You may have this already and if so, carry on — however if you didn’t catch this in the mass of music that comes out weekly, Dim Mak was kind enough to release this one as a freebee. TAI gives this one the business adding additional power to the tune, while making sure to let Chloe Angelides’ vocals shine. Grab the freebee below as a present to you from Dim Mak.

House, Preview | Michael Calfan – Prelude (Preview)
Posted by Middy on August 7, 2014
Michael Calfan man I have missed you. “Resurrection” is still an absolute jam and though he has had some bomb remixes since then, the originals have not been able to live up to the standard set by the Axwell approved tune. But with this groovy, throwback, piano house track he may have just topped them all. We will find out when it is released September 12th
Electro-House, FYI | Does Every Vinai Song Sound The Same?
Posted by Middy on August 7, 2014
It is a hypothetical question to get your attention because the answer is yes, and here is why. I saw a side-by-side comparison a while ago and didn’t think too much of it, just an isolated incident of two songs that were made at the same time and released over the span of a few months. Then this Magnetic Mag article popped up in news feed today and I realized that this is much worse than I thought. So I decided to some more digging to try and get the full story and man it is rough. They all have the same kick, the same notes, the same Pryda snare at the exact moments in the drop — its almost like if you lined up the songs they would sound like one song. Oh wait, somebody did that and it is somewhat startling to hear the results.
To be fair, artists spend years developing a “signature” sound and once they find it, they aren’t going to deviate too far from it, especially in the early stages of their professional career. However, in this case, you see a cop and paste mentality, where almost no care goes into creating a new complete idea with each song. Instead it is a lazy reliance on what has worked in the past with no attempt to take risks or try something new. Us calling out Vinai for the pretty blatant lack of creativity probably won’t do much to dent their meteoric rise in the last year, that is up to the fans. It is up to them to decide whether or not they want to continue hearing the same song over and over again and the time when they say enough is enough may come sooner than Vinai would like.
