Progressive House | Hard Rock Sofa & Skidka – Arms Around Me
Posted by Middy on April 19, 2014
This tune is huge. It is powerful and funky, relying heavily on a sample from KC & The Sunshine Band “Wrap Your Arms Around Me“. The tune was originally rumored to be something from NEW_ID or Prok & Fitch as Axwell & Sebastian Ingrosso have been playing this out intermittently for close to a year, but now we know it is Hard Rock Sofa with their protégé, fellow Russian producer, Skidka. This is about as fresh as it gets, so make sure you cop it now. Next up for Axtone, “Tokyo By Night”. Prepare your bodies.

Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Andrew Rayel Exclusive Interview + Cielo Show Review
Posted by Middy on April 17, 2014
The Mozart of Moldova, the prince of trance, whatever you wish to call Andrei Rata, known professionally as, Andrew Rayel, it is abundantly clear the talent that is possessed by the 21 year old phenom. He has become the hottest up and coming talent in trance right now, with his tunes consistently being supported by your usual suspects of top DJs, culminating in a spectacular collab “Eiforya” alongside the trance Jesus himself, Armin van Buuren.
We were lucky enough to catch Andrew Rayel before his debut set here in NYC last Thursday and chat about being a college student, the upcoming album and much more. His set was a thing of beauty. 3 hours of nonstop action from start to finish, Rayel had a packed house all the way until the end of his set a little before 4am. His set included the fast paced styled mixing and loads of exclusive mashups that he is always making fresh, including one between “Bigfoot” and “Ping Pong” that really set the tone early on. He has become known for his gigantic melodies in the trance realm and has translated that to unofficial remixes for big time prog tracks like “In My Mind”, “Reload” and a new one “Under Control”.
His artist album that you can see the teaser art below is set to hit stores near you at the very of May. Get ready because it is going to be something very special and not your standard club fanfare you see elsewhere. This will be different. Also can anyone figure out the last word? I have “Find Your H_ _ _ O _ _” and can’t figure out the last word.
