Progressive House | Arno Cost & Greg Cerrone – NightVenture
Posted by Middy on December 28, 2013
Wow, just wow. Arno Cost started the year on Size Records with “Head Up“, and finishes off the year on the same label alongside Greg Cerrone. The track was delayed 4 days for some reason or another, but it is here after being premiered by Danny Howard on BBC Radio One and getting heavy play by the label boss over the past several months. The track has both the classic prog sound that Arno Cost is known for, with a furious, fast paced, searing melody that will pierce through any DJ set.

Progressive House | Arias – Andromeda
Posted by Middy on January 21, 2013
Frenchman, Julien Arias, professionally known as Arias first made his name known back in 2006 aside Arno Cost with “Magenta” and later in 2011 with “Days To Come” with Arno Cost & Michael Feiner. He since has been pretty quiet, releasing a remix here and there like his “Someone Like You” remix that did pretty well. However, with the launch of his label Olympia Records and its debut release “Andromeda”, it is safe to say that Arias is back and will be busy on the production front. “Andromeda” is a very proggy, melodic track with well crafted synth layers, rolling bass lines, pitched leads, dextrous key play and a subtle vocal that round out this incredibly unique and timeless offering from the Parisian producer. This is the type of track I could see Pryda dropping during a peak moment in one of his sets.

Electro-House | Arno Cost – Head Up
Posted by Middy on January 21, 2013
Following the release of “Lifetime” late last year, and now “Head Up”, Frenchman Arno Cost with these two productions has certainly embraced a heavier, tougher sound from the time he first started the Freshmakers with Normon Doray in 2006 and since then has been known for true to the term progressive house. “Head Up” marks Arno Cost’s premier on Steve Angello’s Size Records driven by a minimalist drop with a grinding low end meant for the festival stage. “Head Up” kicks off what is sure to be an outstanding year for Size Records with releases coming up like “Hit It”, Sebjak & Marcus Schossow “LICEU”, IDs from Promise Land, Steve Angello & Matisse & Sadko, Steve Angello & Wayne & Woods, Tim Mason & more.

Progressive House | Laidback Luke, Arno Cost & Norman Doray – Trilogy (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on March 12, 2012
Laidback Luke, Cost & Norman Doray – Trilogy (Original Mix) was an outstanding track in its own right with each of the producers having an influence on the track and putting together a key vocal as part of the melody. The remixers all do what you would expect from them with Swanky Tunes bringing some high energy progressive house to the track, Sebjack pounding out some heavy electro house synths, GTA, sticking to the name of their “Big Room” remix and creating a fantastic big room house remix, and Sam O Neall & C6 providing an electro remix with a heavy guitar melody. The original mix still remains essential, but these remixes are nice additions to the collection. After the jump I added a banging original track from Bassment Bros, a Dj trio from the University of Maryland, that combines pulsing synth chords, an uplifting melody, and a pounding bass line with some female vocals. DO NOT miss that read on button.

DJ-Set, Electro-House | Tristan Garner – Punx + Set @ Xtra Life #3 Queen Paris
Posted by Middy on March 2, 2012
French Dj/ Producer, Tristan Garner has released his single “Punx” as an ode the french legends “Daft Punk”. Being a member of the Daft Punk generation of French Djs with Gregori Klosman, Arno Cost, Norman Doray and others, who all grew up listening to the signiature sounds of their countrymen Daft Punk, it only makes sense for him to put out this track as a tribute to these great producers. The track is incredible in its own right, playing heavily on the Daft Punk sound and it does work live. Get it on Beatport.

Also check out his set from his Xtra Life show at Queen club in Paris last Friday, where he had total control of the crowd and put together some amazing bootlegs, even though he tore open a huge gash on his index finger in the first few minutes of the set. It was a crazy night with Tim Mason demolishing his opening set then disappearing in the back room with some blonde and the Tristan coming on to finish it off. If you like Tristan Garner’s bootlegs, go and check out his 2012 winter bootleg pack HERE. Tracklist after the jump.
