Preview, Trance | Above & Beyond – Alchemy (Above & Beyond Club Mix and Myon & Shane 54 Redemption Mix)
Posted by Spice on November 19, 2012
Devotees of Above & Beyond, rejoice — the long-awaited club mix for “Alchemy” has finally dropped. “Alchemy” is quite possibly my favorite track on Group Therapy so do yourself a favor and listen to the first few minutes if you’re not familiar with this insanely luminous and beautiful song. The club mix is the version that the trio has used in their live sets for the past several months, so if you’ve been fortunate enough to catch them on tour you will almost certainly recognize it. As in their past club mixes, they’ve layered in a harder bassline and big, shimmering synths but have left the emotional core of the song intact (thank goodness). Included in this package is an extended album cut, so if you’re like me and still can’t get enough of Zoe Johnston’s vocals in the chorus you’ll probably want to add that to your Beatport cart as well.
Also keep an eye out for Myon & Shane 54’s upcoming Redemption Mix (above), which Above & Beyond featured last Friday on ABGT 002 and which is set to drop on December 3. This remix has a dark, trancey vibe that’s a bit more intense than the club mix.
Electro-House, Preview | Usher – Numb (Throttle Remix)
Posted by Mach on November 12, 2012
Usher is widely hated, but also widely loved. I hate Usher, but I will not deny my respect for his music, the guy is good. Usher also has many awesome remixes done of his music. This new remix comes from Throttle, this also happens to be his official remix for “Numb.” Though there is no release date on the remix yet, it is definitely well worth listening to anyways. Throttle came through, keep the master’s voice strong while also providing a handsome melody to follow.
Preview, Progressive House, Trance | Arty – When I See You (Preview)
Posted by Middy on November 9, 2012
As first previewed by Refune label head Sebastian Ingrosso several months back on Refune Radio (when is the next one Ingrosso?), Arty is now set to unleash one of his many unreleased tracks on the world. This one sticks to the formula of blissful synths and soaring melodies that has made Arty a favorite of so many. Though many may not be satisfied until they have “Together We Are”, this track is definitely another gem from Arty that must be treasured. It is set to be released on November 23rd on the aforementioned Refune Records.

Posted by Middy on November 9, 2012
After getting its premier at the Revealed night at ADE, “Apollo”, Hardwell’s follow up to his huge single “Spaceman” is finally here with Amba Shepherd on the vocals. You can tell that the time spent in the studio working on his track with Porter Robinson has rubbed off on Hardwell with the glitchy electro in this track, which shows a new dimension of his sound. Release set for November 26th on Revealed Records. Also he has a few dates on the East Coast this month, so check him out at the dates below.
Nov-20 Mashantuket, CT Shrine
Nov-21 Boston, MA Prime

Preview, Progressive House | Qulinez – Bamf / Dynamic EP (Preview)
Posted by Middy on November 8, 2012
Qulinez exploded onto the scene with their single “Troll”, which has now reportedly been put back in its cage, and with a slew of successful remixes under their belt, the Swedish duo have cemented themselves as a name to be reckoned with on the Size Records roster. They are ready to send off 2012 with a two track EP, “Bamf / Dynamic” that gives the contrast of a grinding electro track and a big room progressive track in what they hope can be the capstone of an incredibly successful year and jumpoff point for 2013.
Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Preview | Two Fingers – Vengeance Rhythm (KOAN Sound Remix)
Posted by Mach on November 5, 2012
This was a little difficult to categorize on the site because this is Neurofunk, which is technically a subgenre of Drum & Bass…semantics. Two Fingers was originally a duo made up of Doubleclick and EDMs most influential artist, Amon Tobin, but now is just a solo alter ego of Amon Tobin. KOAN Sound is very lucky to have been chosen by the legend to do a remix for his last album that released, “Stunt Rhythms.” Just as expected, KOAN Sound did a killer job on this remix, it is releasing December 10th on Big Dada.
Preview, Progressive House | Reepublic ft. T-Elle – Turn Off The Light (Preview)
Posted by Middy on November 5, 2012
The Swedish House Mafia may be disbanding, but now France is making its own super group and it is coming out swinging. Reepublic, composed of Tristan Garner, Gregori Klosman, Michael Canitrot, Sebastien Benett and Antoine Clamaran have done a few gigs over the summer and have hinted at studio sessions, but we have seen nothing concrete from them. We now have the first preview of their first production “Turn Off The Light”, which combines progressive melodies with the soulful vocals of T-Elle. The preview is short, but it also shows the madness of the their gigs, so be on the watch for the full release November 19th.
