Progressive House, Trance | Artificial – Prototype
Posted by Middy on December 9, 2013
Andrew Bayer, the maker of my favorite album of the year, “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave” has teamed up with fellow Anjunabeats members, Norin & Rad to form the duo Artificial. The US branch of the Anjunabeats family, the three of these producers have always looked to push the traditional boundaries of genre, and they continue that trend here. The track combines the upbeat complexity we see in Andrew Bayer’s clubbier selections, with the melodic abilities seen in Norin & Rad’s tunes. It is the perfect storm of their talents.

Known for their aftermovies, the festival delivers another massive 16 minute film that is sure to get the buzz going for both Tomorrowland and TomorrowWorld. The soundtrack to the aftermovie is of course provided by your Tomorrowland / TomorrowWorld residents, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, who show off a few unreleased tunes of their own, including the acoustic version of “Mammoth“.

House | AObeats & Manila Killa – Perfect Strangers (Kastra Remix)
Posted by Middy on December 9, 2013
The original samples the vocals from The Knocks breakout single, “The Feeling” and now those vocals go through another remix treatment. Kastra keeps the indie-dance flavor of the original, but adds an upbeat twist to it with a bed of driving chords over the cheery melody from AObeats & Manila Killa. The remix is a freebee by just giving him a like on Facebook, so grab it below. Check out the preview for his acid-fueled remix of Novaspace feat. Marie L “Give It Up” coming December 16th.

About a month ago Above & Beyond celebrated their 500th radio show, or Group Therapy Radio 50, at the birthplace of broadcasting, Alexandria Palace, in London.

You can listen to all of the sets again on iTunes. The duo have been busy this fall, cooking up new productions of all varieties including their recently released single, “Mariana Trench”, which came out this week. In other news, they announced that they will be releasing a FULL acoustic album, coming off of their two night showing at the Greek Theater in LA.

Progressive House | Audien ft. Ruby Prophet – Circles
Posted by Middy on December 7, 2013
Audien has had a breakout year, and what better way to cap it off than with a track on the label that released “Leaving You” and that encapsulates the progressive Audien sound. This is the second collaboration between Audien and Ruby Prophet, following up their 2012 single on Zouk, “These Are The Days”. “Circles” has all the same stylistic similarities with a catchy melody, just the right amount of the vocals and the vintage Audien touch.

Progressive House | Martin Garrix & Jay Hardway – Wizard
Posted by Middy on December 6, 2013
Consider this a public service announcement. The Wizard is here and you aren’t going to stop him. Listen now, if you haven’t already and get to know the track. It sounds like “Animals”, but hey, Garrix knows what is working for him and is capitalizing on it. And to all the haters saying Martin Garrix is a fraud, just stop, you are making yourself look silly.

Dubstep | SomeKindaWonderful – Police (Vanic Remix)
Posted by Middy on December 5, 2013
Vancouver based dubstep producer, Vanic takes Cleveland band, SomeKindaWonderful’s “Police” and adds some dubstep heat to it. Vanic has become a very deft remixer thus far in his career, having taken on an official remix for Topher Jones on Ultra, and a host of other outstanding unofficial efforts. Generally dubstep this heavy does not tickle my fancy, but the slight reggae influences and the strong melodic feel, make this palatable for all music tastes. Vanic has proved himself as a remixer, but we hope to see more originals from him. You might just be seeing one sooner than you might know….
