Compilation, Progressive House | Tiesto – Club Life – Volume Two Miami
Posted by Middy on April 27, 2012
Tiesto has released his massive Club Life compilation as an ode to one of the EDM capitals of the US, Miami. His first Club Life was dedicated to Las Vegas, where he helped transform the music scene dominated by a Hip Hop to one of the EDM capitals of the world possibly second only to Ibiza. The overall album shows the current direction of Tiesto’s music himself and the direction of EDM with all progressive and electro house tracks making the cut on this incredible compilation. Unlike previous compilations that we have been seeing recently that are simply a whole bunch of other people’s songs, Tiesto either made or is part of 8 of 15 of the tracks. While only 6 of the tracks are brand new, in this day and age where the constant need for new songs is there and not all the songs are Tiesto’s, that is quite a good number.
The album starts off with Tiesto’s piano driven progressive track “Chasing Summers” that really has not gotten enough credit for its production work especially with the foreboding beginning, creating a massive sense of anticipation. The album continues with his “Space Junk”esque collaboration with Wolfgang Gartner “We Own The Night” and then moves through his big mainstream remixes of Gotye – “Somebody I Used To Know” and Coldplay “Paradise” that have gotten some serious tour play. The next two tracks is where the album is truly at its best with Sultan + Ned Shepard feat. Quilla – Walls and The Naked & Famous – Young Blood (Tiësto & Hardwell Remix). “Walls” is one of those vocal progressive house anthems you will hear this summer without really knowing who made it, but make sure to get to know this track, the vocals from Quilla and especially the euphoric melody make this a must have. Hardwell & Tiesto teaming on a track worked exceptionally well on “Zero 76” and it has worked at the same level on “Young Blood” with a sublime melody and great use of the indie vocals from The Naked & Famous. Read more and preview more tracks after jump. I recommend the unmixed version to get the whole track and it comes with the continuous mix that you would be buying anyway with the mixed CD.

Progressive House, Review | Morgan Page — In The Air (2012) + Leave The Lights On (Morgan Page Remix)
Posted by Sev on April 24, 2012
Apologies on taking so long to post this great album from Morgan Page, but with such a high influx of music these past weeks it has been hard getting everything posted. But there was no way I wasn’t going give this progressive album a post, especially by such an underrated producer, in my perspective. We have seen two of the tracks released as singles before the album was released so we were given a good taste of what was to come, and he delivered. I can honestly say I favor each track on this album equally because they all provide the same euphoric feelings and mind set after listening to them. The progressions, basslines, melodies, and quality of production on all of these tracks is amazing. Top notch house music on this album and a definite recommendation for all House music fans. You can grab this album on Beatport HERE. After the jump is Morgan Page’s latest remix that is a little more electro feeling than what is seen on the album.
Hip-Hop | Wiz Khalifa – Work Hard, Play Hard
Posted by dshaq on April 23, 2012
This song is bomb in so many ways that you just have to purchase it. After his Allderdice mixtape, Wiz gives us this brand new cut from his album, which is due out in August. Wiz goes hard on this one, like B.A.R./Kush & OJ hard, and this beat isn’t lacking either, produced by Benny Blanco and StarGate. Throw this on the weekend playlist and get ready to hear it on the radio, a lot.
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.

Hip-Hop | A$AP Rocky – Goldie (Prod. Hit-Boy)
Posted by dshaq on April 16, 2012
Fresh off his Coachella headlining performance, which to me wasn’t anything special, A$AP releases some brand music for our enjoyment. Off his album, LongLiveA$AP, which will be available in the Summer, the track is produced by Hit-Boy and yes, it goes hard with Rocky delivering on this track like always. If the album is anything like this or his previous mixtape, then we should be in for a treat. Look for more A$AP to come.
Trance, Videos | Dash Berlin ft. Sarah Howells – Go It Alone (Official Music Video)

This is an incredible new single off of Dash Berlin’s upcoming second album, ‘#musicislife,’ set to release April 27th. I love Trance, but it is hard for me to get into vocal Trance tracks. That just isn’t the case with this track. Sarah Howells voice is incredible, her cover of Dash Berlin’s work is flawlessly beautiful. Dash Berlin has been called the King of Vocal Trance, this track is a perfect example why.
