Preview, Progressive House, Trance | Arty feat. Chris James – Together We Are (Preview)
Posted by Middy on January 27, 2013
It just isn’t fair sometimes. Everything this man makes is just too good. First premiered last New Years, Arty’s most sought after ID is finally finished and has its release info. He added vocals from Chris James of “The Veldt” fame to the track and it works very well. Just bask in the blissful glow of the lush pads and reverbed piano and know that February 18th Big Beat will have this release for you.
Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Preview | Reso – Tangram Remixed EP
Posted by Mach on January 23, 2013
2013 is already turning out to be an awesome year for electronic music in my opinion. Reso has an awesome line up of remixing artists for his upcoming remix EP of his recent EP release “Tangram.” The remix EP features KOAN Sound, Om Unit, Billain, and Doshy. KOAN Sound’s remix is a lot more abstract than I am used to hearing from them. Their remix of “Axion” is a very deep, bassy Drum & Bass track that transitions into a kicked up Midtempo jam. Om Unit has my favorite remix of the whole EP. The way they remixed “Simple Pleasures” creates the emotion that the title is so deserving of. The track is very chill and still with the same deep bass that carries out through all the remixes. Billain made a dirty Neuro-Dubstep remix of “Half Life,” making my ears convulse in the craziest ways. The last remix from Doshy is the only one of the EP that does not have its own clip. Doshy’s remix of “Coronium” is what I would call an abstract take on Trap. Oddly enough the idea works, and Doshy’s remix provides a cool-temperatured finish to the EP. The remix EP is set to release March 11th.

Preview, Trance | W&W & Ummet Ozcan – The Code (Preview)
Posted by Middy on January 20, 2013
They have done it again. W&W team up with Ummet Ozcan, known for his massive recent single “The Box” for yet another colossal track set to take over the the dance music landscape. “The Code” stays true to their sound of thunderous bass lines and booming synth leads. With “Lift Off” still a staple of most sets, W&W continue to crank out quality track after quality track. “The Code” will be out February 6th on Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings. Watch POP NYE go off when W&W dropped “The Code” here.
House, Preview | Kahwe – Driving Me Wild EP
Posted by Mach on January 18, 2013
Wow, this is a pretty big EP for up and coming producer Kahwe. The entire EP is full of deep House goodies, starting with the title track “Driving Me Wild.” The track has a soulful take on the deep and garaged styled House music. The second track “Anything” has that same aspect only with a bit of that 70s and 90s blend of funk. “Anything” is most definitely my favorite of the three, though they are all great sounds. The last track “Yew” is much more laid back than the others, but gives off a warm feeling that you get from having drinks with your friends in a lounge. Kahwe’s new EP “Driving Me Wild” releases February 11th.

Dubstep, Preview | Underworld – Rez (Bassnectar Remix) [Preview]
Posted by Spice on January 16, 2013
Well, happy effing Wednesday. Bassnectar may be off the grid at the moment, but we’ve still got an exciting preview of what to expect from him next month. In the midst of all the blowout shows he treated fans to at the end of 2012, it seems he managed to find time to polish off a monster remix of Underworld’s 1994 tech-trance epic “Rez”. If you’re a fan of Lorin’s explosive, mind-melting soundscapes, heady builds, ferocious low-end bass and unparalleled usage of drums, you’ll be all over his treatment of this track — it’s a slow, spacey journey through many of his trademark sounds. Look for it to drop bass in your face on February 12th.

Dubstep, Glitch, Preview | Pegboard Nerds ft Splitbreed – We Are One
Posted by Mach on January 13, 2013
I am going out on limb here, 2013 is going to be a great year for the Pegboard Nerds. They have been releasing nothing but straight fire and I believe their streak will continue. Though sadly short, this preview still reflects the pro level they are producing at. No word yet on the tracks release, but it will be awesome.
