Electro-House, Progressive House | The 8th Note – 4 The People (Incl Leventina Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 27, 2012
Dutch Trio, The 8th Note are back coming off of their 3 very successful collaborations with fellow compatriot Nilson. Their latest collaboration,”Transformers” supported by Morgan Page, Thomas Gold and many more is below at the end of the post. The 8th Note provide the original track with a smooth piano build with techy bass line elements. It then builds further in volume and energy into a uplifting synth melody accompanied by Gregorian style chants and a thumping bass line. As you guys know, I am very high on Leventina and their ability to blend seamlessly electro and progressive electro house during songs and among tracks in their back catalog. Thomas Gold played “We’re Gonna Start” at EDC NYC so you know things are only on the up and up for them. They get into the track from the 1st second with a complex bass driven bass line and getting the synth build with the Gregorian like chants established by The 8th Note going early. They take that piano and synth build and crescendo into a festival ready drop of rhythmic synth chords and a pounding bass line.

Dubstep, Electro-House, Moombahton, Review | Knife Party – Rage Valley EP
Posted by Mach on May 27, 2012
Knife Party’s long anticipated ‘Rage Valley’ EP has finally released, despite the leak a few days back. For those of you that havent the chance to listen to ‘Rage Valley’ in its entirety, it is about time you do so. Kicking off this sick EP is the title track ‘Rage Valley.’ Dirty Electro-House, this track is rage, the initial build up to the drop is immense. Building similar to ‘Internet Friends,’ but without the slightly annoying iPhone ringer and dropping like a Unicorn on Bear steroids. The next track is my favorite for sure, ‘Centipede’ has been played in Knife Party’s live sets for over a year now. It is exactly what dubstep fans love to hear. I love how the intro mentions how the Centipede is basically better than the Tarantula, for those of you that don’t know Knife Party’s other allias, Pendulum, has a track named ‘Tarantula.’ The track is filthy, portrating the power and deadliness that a Centipede has. ‘Bonfire’ I fell in love with instantly, Sev and I have been all over the Reggae vibed Dubstep tracks recently. Even if it is just the vocals, this track hit a sweet spot for us. The last track ‘Sleaze’ I did not know much about before listening. Knife Party couldn’t have ended this epic EP in a better way, ‘Sleaze’ is one of the few Moombahton tracks that I listen to and it wreaks house. This track is the definition of an all night rager, in a live setting I’m sure all of these track destroy the dance floor. The ‘Rage Valley’ EP is what its name says, a rager waiting to happen.
Electro-House | Kimbra – Settle Down (Feature Cuts Remix) [Music Video]
Posted by Jess on May 23, 2012
Feature Cuts comes through with a crazy, glitchy, Electro House remix of Kimbra’s single “Settle Down”. It’s a little more mellow than his usual face-melting Dubstep remixes but this direction sounds great as well. The dreamy syths and Kimbra voice sound perfect together. Download the remix below and become a fan of Feature Cut on Facebook. Update: Added the remix video for Feature Cuts’ remix.
Electro-House, Preview | Zedd – Spectrum (feat. Matthew Koma) [PREVIEW]
Posted by Mach on May 22, 2012
Releasing June 6th off of Interscope Records is probably one of the best tracks we have heard from Zedd, which says a lot. The vocals from Matthew Koma really sets the mood of this track. Another one for the favorites list. Zedd is one of the top producers for Electro-House, this might just push him up to that number one spot on the charts again.
Electro-House | Julian Jordan & TV Noise – Oxford
Posted by Middy on May 20, 2012
Julian Jordan at the ripe age of 16 is back again this time with support from the young dutch duo TV Noise. Together they put together “Oxford” that builds with a piano melody and accompanying guitar riffs with a supporting bass line. The song then drops off into a break of punching bass, growling low end synth and piercing, pitched synths. This is a superb production from the young Dutchmen and we will be seeing a lot more from these guys in the future as Sander van Doorn is very high on Julian Jordan and is even collaborating on a track with him. Make sure to check out Julian Jordan’s previous stuff HERE, including a free download.
Also included is a preview for Julian Jordan’s remix of Sander van Doorn’s anthem “Nothing Inside”. While the original takes the cake for me, this remix is a solid take on the track with a good electro drop.

Electro-House, Progressive House | Rihanna – Where Have You Been (Live City Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 18, 2012
Live City gives us an aggressive take on Rihanna’s hit “Where Have You Been”. Giving the song a live makeover with heavy dutch influences, Live City takes song and flips the instrumental into their standard electro madness we have come to expect from them. With subtle piano leads, dutch infused electro breaks and an impressive interlude of progressive synths and chopped, distorted vocals, these guys impress me more and more with every release.
Also after the jump are two more remixes of “Where Have You Been” from Averez & Kevin Miller. Kevin Miller provides a more progressive take on the track with uplifting synths in the break and Averez gets into the track with hard hitting bass and a grimy electro drop.
Dubstep, Electro-House, House, Review | Savoy & Heather Bright – We Are The Sun
Posted by Mach on May 14, 2012
As I stated a few weeks back with their remix of Chromeo, it has felt like they just haven’t been doing too hot for about 6 months until recently. They previewed this gem about 5 months ago, and finally, as of today this Electro-House banger is obtainable. Heather Bright has a great voice for this style of music, her vocals on this track get you amped up for a rager. Savoy also did a dubstep remix of the track, which as the past has shown is a strong suit for them. The dubstep remix is dirty, if it was Wednesday you would definitely see it up on R Rated. This entire release surprised me because even the Manuel De La Mare remix is a great house track. I will stick by my guns when I say the original is still the best of the three.
