Events, Review | Global Dance Festival Recap
Posted by GMONEY on August 18, 2011
The other weekend, Global Dance Festival continued its reign as one of the most epic festivals in Colorado. Thursday featured an eclectic mix of big names, from Kid Cudi’s greened-out stage setup to our very own Sam Adams, bringing in a ratio that could get Stephen Hawking laid. Empire of the Sun played a sick set with some very interesting costumes. Friday gave us the chance to interview Nero after an awe-inspiring set, dropping absolute bombs on the unprepared Red Rocks crowd (peep the FNT hats we got signed here)…and of course Skrillex’s got the audience going absolutely crazy….

Electro | Nicki Minaj Ft. Rihanna – Fly (Liam Keegan Radio Edit)
Posted by BIGLIFE on August 16, 2011
Today, I set out to find a banger that reminded me of our beginning days which were filled with simple yet effective remixes to mainstream tracks. I know the word “banger” gets a bad wrap around here since it’s cheesy but you know what, BIGLIFE isn’t afraid to walk near that line because, at the end of the day, that one adjective says it all. This folks, is something you can dance to. Per his usual fashion, Liam Keegan hooked up this mainstream track with a powerful bass-line topped off by catchy synths and even an Avicii-like build up that carries on throughout the song (which is a new tactic for this budding producer). As a bonus I’ve also included his dope remix to Britney Spears’ “I Wanna Go” – it might not be as powerful, but its still worth a listen.

Go ahead and rip on me in the comments section for being a sally, this right here is a BIGLIFE MUST DOWNLOAD BANGER!

Electro-House, Preview | Tim Berg – Seek Bromance (Cazzette meets Ash Vocal Mix)
Posted by Middy on August 12, 2011
The original helped catapult Avicii into the star that he is today, so it is fitting that it would get some very good remixes. The “Seek Bromance” remix package was released today on EDX led PinkStar Records and it is great. This Cazzette remix of Seek Bromance may be the best and the most widely supported. This remix is played at the end of Avicii’s shows and it is wild. It adds some heavy electro to the song and changes it a bit from the melodic piano driven song to something a bit heavier, but it keeps a lot of the original sound.

House, Preview | Hard FI – Fire In The House (Tiesto Remix)
Posted by Middy on August 7, 2011
I know what you all were thinking when you first had this remix on repeat, where are the female vocals? Well with a revamping of the song, Avicii was able to get some of those and make this already great remix even better. It is Tiesto, it is fire. It is house, but it is amazing and the vocals work really well.

Hip-Hop | Flo-Rida ft Taoi Cruz – Hangover (Snippet) [Avicii Controversy]
Posted by Juicebox on July 26, 2011
This controversy is old news, but with what looks like a soon to be official release of this track, here’s a brief explanation of what happened. Flo-Rida dropped a song featuring him rapping over Avicii’s “Levels” or “ID” which left people confused to say the least. Had everyone’s favorite new comer Avicii already sold out? Did Flo-Rida see the rising potential and amazing melodies found in Avicii and decide to seize the opportunity before someone else did? Thankfully, Avicii hadn’t sold out and Flo-Rida had used the track without permission. To take control of the situation, Avicii took matters to Twitter. He fired back with a few different tweets explaining that he did not in fact give Flo-Rida permission to use the track and there was not a collaboration in the works.
However, this snippet of Flo-Rida & Taio Cruz just leaked which features the same key as Avicii’s “Levels/ID” with different synths, but fades into Avicii’s track at one point. The transition is awful which is clearly why this is a snippet and still not the final cut, but it leaves the possibility of them sampling Avicii’s track. Hopefully before the song is officially released they’ve figured out the instrumental or cleared things with Avicii’s camp this time, unlike the Leona Lewis case.
Regardless looks like we’ve got a huggeee radio banger in the works from two of the premier hit makers, Flo-Rida & Taio Cruz.
Dubstep | Cory Enemy & Dillon Francis, Haydn Hoffman, and Muffler
Posted by Mach on July 23, 2011
This is some sexy dubstep. Dillon Francis has been dropping quite a bit of Moombahton lately, which is what I was expecting from this track. Glad to see he likes to mix it up with friends a bit, giving us this awesome track.

This remix has a great bassline mixed in, and I love the samples he used also. The drop has a kind of Skrillex style to it. That blended with some good old Avicii leaves us with something worth bumping to.

This last track needs no explanation, you already know your face is about to be blown off by your subs.
