Progressive House | Natalie Gauci, New York FM – Everytime
Posted by Rohan on May 16, 2012
Here’s another two Progressive House bangers for those who use Beatport (expensive, I know, but this where things are headed). New York FM throws down an incredible beat while Natalie Gauci lays some perfect vocals over this smooth, yet encompassing progressive beat. The Disfunktion Remix highlights the high synths and is more suited for a festival (whereas the original would be perfect for clubbing). The BEATPORT VERSION also features a radio edit of each.
Progressive House | Zero9 – Fire It Up
Posted by Rohan on May 16, 2012
Featured on Peak Hour Music (the label which just put out Porter Robinson’s “I’m On Fire”), Zero9 kills his latest EP “Fire It Up” with two massive Progressive House anthems. The first, named after the EP, features multiple synth build ups, then descends into a DOPE House drop at 1:48. The second, “Are U Ready?”, is also great, with a dope Complextro (a new sub-genre of EDM which utilizes elements of Electro House, Progressive House and Dubstep) beat, and has multiple incredible drops (check the first 50 seconds in). Grab the release on BEATPORT.
Bootleg, Progressive House | Alesso – Years (Jakob Liedholm’s Open Your Eyes Edit)
Posted by Spice on May 16, 2012
When it comes to electronic music, is there anything the Swedes can’t do? Jakob Liedholm is a 15 year-old Swedish producer whom we previously featured for his big room-ready adaptation of “Some Nights” by indie band Fun. Now, he takes Alesso’s progressive house monster “Years” and deftly ties in the vocals from “Eyes Wide Open” by Thomas Gold and Dirty South. The result? An epic, uplifting jam to get you in the right mindset for EDC this weekend (fun fact: Alesso, Dirty South, and Thomas Gold will all be there!)
If Mr. Liedholm’s past work is any indication, we can definitely expect to see big things down the road. Keep an eye on this young Swede; I’ve got a feeling he won’t disappoint.
Progressive House | Franz Novotny – Big Bang (Incl. Remixes)
Posted by Middy on May 16, 2012
Franz Novotny is yet another Swede who is ready to make waves in the house scene this year and beyond. Big Bang out now on Vicious Records, a label known for getting young talent before they blow up such as some of Avicii’s early work, has already been heavily supported by Morgan Page and Kaskade, as we saw with the very successful “Be Still Big Bang” mashup last year that was taken down due to copyright issues. The original mix builds with a big room sound with echoing synth chords and quick snares and then drops into a sharp rhythmic break, perfect for the festival atmosphere. The Digital Lab is my favorite of the package varying the build a bit with the rhythm of the drums and synth chords but keeps much of the same feel, but the break is much different with a thumping bass and driving low end synths and layered pulsing big room synths in the second break. The young Frenchman Maxime Zarcone provides probably the most interesting of the remixes with much of the original big room build and then a much different break with a variety of different types of synths, piano and percussive elements combine to create an organized chaos that is very enjoyable.
DJ-Set, Events, Progressive House, Trance | Mat Zo feat. Linnea Schossow – The Sky + Fun Bus Mix
Posted by Middy on May 16, 2012
The eclectic Mat Zo has provided the world with a single to follow up his potent Bipolar EP. Mat Zo or MRSA or MRZO, his Drum N Bass monikers, is known for pushing the boundaries of genre or totally ignoring them, making music that incorporates many different types of sounds and rhythms into one track. To really stand out now a days you not only have to be able to have your own unique sound, but also be able to have many different sounds and Mat Zo has done that. “The Sky” uses angelic vocals from Linnea Schossow, a moving bass line, emotive synth melodies and adept key play culminate in a hands in air break. Anjunabeats and Mat Zo have done it again.
Mat Zo feat. Linnea Schossow – The Sky – Beatport Link
Mat Zo in preparation for going on Porter Robinson’s “Language Tour” with The M Machine released this 50 minute mix with tracks ranging from Mord Fustang to Eric Prydz to Mat Zo himself. The Language tour will be hitting all the major cities across the US this summer in June & July so you really need to get to one of those shows with these three artists performing each night. Get your tickets HERE & dates after the jump.
Progressive House | Hujje – Agua (Original Mix)
Posted by Jess on May 14, 2012
Another great Progressive House single (or should I say Brogressive House?) from the Boulder duo, Hujje. Entitled “Agua”, their latest is sure to leave you ready for Summer and all that comes with it. A pool party wouldn’t be complete without some “agua”.
Progressive House | Pryda – Allein
Posted by Middy 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 Rohan on May 14, 2012
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.
