Electro-House, Progressive House | The Joy Formidable – A Heavy Abacus (Qulinez Remix)
Posted by Middy on April 26, 2012
Above is the first episode of Size TV, where you get to meet Qulinez as well as the rest of the Size family.
The Swedish Duo, Qulinez have given us another release to add to your collection along side their trend setting single “Troll”. This track capitalizes on the success of “Troll”, continuing with much of the same, unique sound that “Troll” established. The track gives you their unique high pitch synths leading into a bass driven drop with growling synths underneath. Tiesto dropped this bad boy at Ultra for all of you UMF attendees so think back to that moment and you will rush to get this track. The vocals are incredible and are used perfectly.
Also check out a remix of their coming out on Monday that combines a little dub with electro house.
After the jump is a great FREE original track from Diego Camejo using the vocal from Simians Vocals – We Are Your Friends that has a Big Room / Festival vibe to it with synthy build and a simple, high energy, bass driven drop.

Electro-House, Moombahton | Alvin Risk — Infinity EP
Posted by Sev on April 25, 2012
This new Alvin Risk EP contained a different side of Alvin we haven’t ever seen. I was sort of disappointed with this EP, not because he chose to do something different, but just because of the fact that some of the songs didn’t contain that appleaing Alvin Risk signature style that that fans have grown to love. I will admit though, I was a little disheartened when the we first got the EP track listing that his collaborations with Skrillex weren’t included. I should have seen if coming though being it does have Skrillex’s name on the track and all. With that being said, two out of the four tracks on here are pretty dope tracks. Survival has some of the most intricate combinations of laser synth sounds, alongside Sirah’s vocals. Same thing with Psychotic; bringing some crazy synth sounds along with an up-beat tempo. Infinity and Pray lacked the Alvin Risk esque style, which is why I wasn’t a fan of the tracks, nevertheless give each track a chance. You can grab the EP on Beatport HERE.
Albums, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro-House, Progressive House | Seven Lions — Polarize EP
Posted by Sev on April 25, 2012
Has anyone heard a dissapointing Seven Lions track yet, because I haven’t. This EP has been on repeat for the past day few days since its release and I know Mach is on the same boat. What a great combination of genre’s in one EP and variation of sounds that just keep the listener coming back for more. I can’t get enough of Below Us and also the Dnb Remix by Smooth. Every track on this EP is truley unique and astonishing in its own way. I could go on all day talking about how amazing this tracks are, but I would rather let you guys enjoy them yourselves. You can grab a free track off the EP given away by Viper Recordings by clicking Read On. Grab this EP on Beatport HERE.
Drum & Bass, Electro-House, Indie, Review | The M Machine – Metropolis Pt. 1
Posted by Mach on April 24, 2012
Wow! This is The M Machine’s second great release in row off of OWSLA. I really enjoy the strength of the Indie on this release. Most of the tracks are Indie Dance and Electro-House/Indie, with of course the one Drum & Bass gem they seemed to have snuck on. ‘Immigrants’ is quite the track to kick off ‘Metropolis,’ it even has that vibe as if you are going through a city. I would love to see some visuals done up for this track because it is just an awesome banger. Another hot and heavy track is ‘Black,’ you could rip up a dance floor with this track.
‘Deep Search’ is a pretty cool Indie Dance track, I like how just seconds into the track it busts into the beat. ‘Faces’ and ‘A King Alone’ swing much closer to the Indie side, but are incredible tracks to chill out to. The last track on ‘Metropolis’ I believe to be a follow up on their previously released, ‘Promise Me A Rose Garden.’ Instead of dubstep though, ‘Shadow in the Rose Garden’ is an incredible Drum & Bass jam. I just wish it was longer than 3 minutes. ‘Metropolis’ as a whole is a great listen, work of art from The M Machine.
Electro-House | Chromeo – When the Night Falls (Savoy Remix)
Posted by Mach on April 24, 2012
I hate to say it seeing as I am a huge fan of Savoy, but their past few releases have been disappointing. They brought back the fire though with this huge Electro-House banger. I wonder how it has sounded to hear this track played live. I am hoping this means the re-rise of Savoy, I could really use some more new bangers like this from them.

Dubstep, Electro-House, House | Kaskade & Skrillex — Lick It [Remixes] and Music Video
Posted by Sev on April 17, 2012
I was pretty excited yesterday when Kaskade announced the release of the Lick It remixes. I was always a fan of the original despite the way others felt about it, and after hearing Datsik’s remix a few months ago I couldn’t wait for it. Although I was disappointed about his album, this remix is a must have for me with his signature synths and wobbles smashing stages for the past 3 months. Also featured are Norman Doray and Alex Kenji both giving nice progressive adaptations. Alex Kenji’s remix provides a nice upbeat House tempo with some sick progressions and basslines. His remix might even take it for me over the original. You can grab these remixes on Beatport provided in the link below.

Electro-House | will.i.am ft. J.Lo & Mick Jagger – Go Hard (R3hab vs The Eye Remix)
Posted by Spice on April 17, 2012
Let me get this out of the way at the outset: I’m really, really tired of will.i.am. Lately he’s always showing up in places he doesn’t belong (like the criminally dull EDC documentary I was idiotic enough to purchase on pay-per-view recently), running his mouth on camera about things he’s probably not qualified to discuss while looking like the try-hard love child of Kanye and Andre 3000. I’m over you, man. I don’t like your style and I don’t like your moves.
Unsurprisingly, “T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)” never did much for me, but R3HAB’s big remix kicks it up to the next level by turning the dial on the tempo and the bass. It’s still got that commercial will.i.am. flavor and the same questionable lyrics (“you can go hard or you can go home”….sweet brah), but the build that R3HAB lays in after the chorus is delectable. Not to mention hearing the man/myth/legend that is Mick Jagger bellowing over R3HAB’s lasery synths is both incongruous and awesome. Snap up that free DL below.
