Progressive House | Pryda – Allein

Posted by on May 14, 2012

After seeing Eric Prydz last weekend at Inox Festival, I could not help but simply be blown away at the mastery of this legend in the live arena. He is a reserved man who is not going to get on top of the decks and pump up the crowd with ridiculous stage antics. He simply lets his music and his 1922 commemorative Yankees hat do all the talking for him. “Allein” will be one of the bigger hits from his upcoming 3 disk 39 song album Eric Prydz Presents Pryda set to release in one week on May 21st. “Allein” gives us a steady yet subtly complex bass line with an emotive synth melody and a repeating vocal bit to enhance the melody and takes you one step closer to total bliss. Make sure you have checked out the album preview to be ready for May 21st.

Progressive House | Wynter Gordon – Still Getting Younger (Remixes)

Posted by on May 14, 2012

 Wynter Gordon   Still Getting Younger (Remixes)
Wynter Gordon has been on fire recently, absolutely smashing the lyrics to Tommy Trash and Steve Aoki’s “Ladi Dadi” and Laidback Luke’s recent hit “Speak Up”. This release, Still Getting Younger, features some great remixes from Steve Angello sponsored Third Party, eSquire (who has been wrecking the Progressive House scene), and Belocca. The Third Party remix brings out their unique sound (massive building synth work and perfect festival music). My personal favorite is the eSquire remix, who utilizes the perfect mix of melodies to create that house beat which gives you goosebumps. The Belocca remix is a great house take on the original. Grab the full release on BEATPORT. The Beatport version also features Dub remixes from Third Party and Belocca.

Compilation, Progressive House | Miike Snow – The Wave (Thomas Gold Remix)

Posted by on May 14, 2012

The Miike Snow remixes keep on coming from big name artists and each one somehow manages to be better than the previous remix. The genius German, Thomas Gold, gives us his take on Miike Snow – The Wave with a varying snare line, Miike Snow’s signature vocals that make them so easy to remix and an addicting, uplifting melody. With the Dirty South remix of Devil’s Work already getting plenty of work in sets all over the world, expect this remix to get much of the same treatment as a summer go to for many Djs during festival season.

Thomas Gold will be mixing the 2 CD, 32 track Axtone compilation to be released May 28th. It will be largely comprised of Thomas Gold tracks because he is mixing the compilation with some exclusive bootlegs of his, including a vocal mix of his number one single “Sing2Me”. It will include new edits and remixes as well as three new original tracks from Thomas Gold, giving us even more work from his extensive studio output. Tracklist after the jump

Electro-House | R3hab – The Bottle Song Remixes + Dyro – Seata

Posted by on May 14, 2012

This is a very impressive remix package because there aren’t any mediocre remixes, which is rare because there is usually one or two in a remix package of 4 or 5. Dyro provides the most heavily supported remix of the package with the subtle build and high energy drop of rising synths and thumping bass. The Darth & Vader mix, supported by Sander van Doorn, works on the build adding more of a progressive flare to it with added synth chords and a grungy low end synth drop with emotive key work over the top. Dannic rebuilds much more of the track, adding a bigger intro and synth chords to the build with a moving melody in the break. D-wayne’s remix may be weakest of the bunch, but it is still a strong remix supported by Pete Tong with much of the original build in tact and dutch house drop. Below is the Darth & Vader mix and after the jump are the Dannic & D-wayne remixes.
Also included is Dyro’s single “Saeta” he also released recently. It is what we have come to expect from him, though maybe a little less creative than his recent works “EMP” and “Raid” and his upcoming “Top Of The World”. It has the electro build and the modern talking drop that is somewhat getting abused now, but still in style and quite popular on dance floors around the world.

Dubstep, Electro-House | Virtual Riot ft. Amba Shepherd – Superhuman (Andrew D Dubstep Bootleg)

Posted by on May 13, 2012

rEedit Virtual Riot ft. Amba Shepherd   Superhuman (Andrew D Dubstep Bootleg)

So we previewed this amazing remix courtesy of Andrew D last week on R Rated, which finally convinced him to finish it thanks to you guys and your support. I could have just released it as a free track, but I have been releasing Andrew’s past tracks right away and he doesn’t seem to be getting the support he deserves; I feel. So I decided that we will release this bootleg for free once his facebook hits 500 likes, which isn’t asking for too much. The more you guys share and get him to the goal of 500 likes, the sooner you can have this amazing remix, and trust me its dope. So go to his Facebook page provided HERE and give him a like if you want this track. I will also provide some of his other tracks below to show you what I mean when I say he doesn’t have the support he deserves.

Progressive House | Gavin Degraw – Not Over You (Leventina Club Remix)

Posted by on May 13, 2012

25319 107471792620460 107471385953834 105521 4396699 n 620x461 Gavin Degraw   Not Over You (Leventina Club Remix)

If you have been with us since last fall you would know about the Swiss duo Leventina and their high energy house tracks. This song combines what we have scene from them over the past year with a big room progressive sound with electro chops and even dubstep interludes. This song uses the recognizable vocals from Gavin Degraw that will have a room belting out “Not Over You” with a pounding bass line, massive, driving high energy synth chords, electro chops and vocal bits. The build is well constructed with the vocal verses, a moving piano melody and varying bass line. They dropped this as a preview a while back and blew my mind then and now as a free download I give my humble thanks for this incredible track. Also check out a preview for a remix of theirs coming up this month for the 8th Note on the 21st.

DJ-Set, House | Refune Radio Ep #004 + Pierce Fulton May Mix

Posted by on May 12, 2012

Above is the video for Alesso & Sebastian Ingrosso’s anthem “Calling” where we get to see the somewhat father son relationship that Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso have with each other and some Coachella moments for both of them.

Sebastian Ingrosso is back with another episode of Refune Radio where he shares with us his favorite Coachella memories where he played 4 shows over the 2 weekends including one on his birthday and the true Legend Paul Mccartney showed up as well, which has to be legendary for Ingrosso. His mix goes through some of the best recent tracks as well as unreleased bombs such Deniz Koyu’s Bong, now signed to Refune Records, Alesso – Years, a song that seems to be changing a little bit every time we hear it and Eric Prydz – Allein, which I predict will be one of those tracks that will remembered for a very long time. The mix spot on with a few well crafted bootlegs and an excellent tracklist.

Also after the jump is the May mix from Pierce Fulton, which takes you on a journey of smooth, uplifting house tunes, from old school Cirez D to the upcoming Mat Zo track “The Sky”.

DJ-Set, Events, House | Inox Festival Toulouse Sets

Starting off the festival season early and right, Inox Festival in Toulouse France brings together some of the best talent in EDM, bringing in fans from not just all over France but also all over Europe such as Spain, Italy, and Romania. It was a three night weekend festival at full capacity all three nights with the likes of Eric Prydz, Hardwell, Dada Life, Laidback Luke, Swanky Tunes and many more gracing the decks. There was something for everyone with techno, house and minimal being very well represented with Sven Vath, Stephan Bodzin and many more. Of the three nights Eric Prydz had to be the best set just because it is so rare to see him as an American, though he will be touring the states this summer on ID Fest, Swanky Tunes putting together an outstanding set from start to finish with brand new tracks, and Dada Life and Sebastien Benett bringing the highest energy sets, forcing me to walk home at 8am covered in vodka and champagne after Dada Life. The whole thing was madness and after the whole festival I felt like I had been hit by an 18 wheeler for about 2 days, but it was worth it with the amazing artists that graced the decks. Sets were recorded on Fun Radio, so the shouts will be in French, but enjoy these crazy sets. Some of the sets below and more of them and the tracklists after the jump. Eric Prydz set was not recorded.
