House, Preview | Arno Cost, Avicii, Gregori Klosman & Promise Land, Dada Life
Posted by Middy on July 19, 2011
Yes Avicii is making a song with Guetta. They have been doing shows together in Ibiza this summer so the idea probably came from there. It will be released on as part of David Guetta’s massive double album set to release August 29th. Here is a great remix by the up and coming French producer Arno Cost. This is has a great uplifting vibe to it that makes it almost a trance house song. It is very melodic with a smooth piano line and synth cord progression with perfect female vocals to match. Also solid remixes by PVD and Bassjackers.

Here is the full club version of Fade into Darkness if the radio edit left you wanting more.

Here is a great track from the Italian duo Promise Land and the German Gregori Klosman. Promise Land is known for their progressive masterpieces, but this one is a little more hardhitting, with a masterfully woven synth line woven into the middle of the song. Definitly a must have for house fans.

This Dada Life remix is absolutely sick. It combines the usual heavy Dada life sound with some of glitchy sounds from the original song. It creates a perfect blend and a masterful remix.

House, Mainstream Remix | Avicii ft Yolanda Selini – Don’t Give Up On Us (Enough Is Enough)
Posted by Juicebox on July 19, 2011
While doing all this research for the Avicii vs. Leona Lewis Case I came across a song title I’d never seen from Avicii. At first glance I thought it was just one of the 200 other fake Avicii tracks out there but the production, synths, and style of the song all match (aka I found a few other sites that confirmed it was an unreleased track from him). Expect big things once this track is officially released.

House, Mainstream Remix, Mashups | Leona Lewis – Collide (Afrojack Festival Remix)
Posted by Juicebox on July 19, 2011
Originally wasn’t going to post this, but as much as I hate the fact Afrojack remixed Leona’s version; it’s a dirrtyy remix. If you’re still not up to speed on the whole Avicii vs. Leona Lewis case, check out the article we wrote earlier this week here. Judging by Afrojack’s tweets, it seems like Afrojack’s a tad jealous of Avicii’s recent fame and therefore supporting Leona on the case…after the tweets pictured above he went on to tweet congratulations to “@Leonalewismusic. Pretttttyy damn sure he should have a fellow DJ’s back in this case over Leona’s Lewis’s and pretttyyy damn sure he wouldn’t be feeling the same way if he was in Avicii’s shoes. So uh Afrojack, sick song but uh, karma’s coming at you like this ice cream truck…all day #teamavicii.

House, Mainstream Remix, Mashups | Avicii & Leona Lewis Controversy Over “Fade Into Darkness”
Posted by Juicebox on July 17, 2011
Sounds familiar right? Alright so here’s the situation. Everyone and their mother not only had Avicii’s essential mix on repeat during finals, but also couldn’t get enough of that addictive melody featured in “Penguin”. A leak we posted a few days ago entitled “Fade Into Darkness,” surfaced featuring a vocal piece over Penguin’s infectious melody. However, yesterday, a Leona Lewis single entitled “Collide” leaked featuring pretty much the same exact instrumental found on “Fade Into Darkness.” Let the confusion begin…
The Origin:
To keep things easy, let’s start with the origin of the track. The Penguin Café Orchestra was a group of elite performing musicians originally formed by British guitarist Simon Jeffres. The Penguin Café wrote a song called, “Perpetuum Mobile” (posted below) that Avicii clearly sampled in his latest single.
The Penguin Cafe Orchestra – Perpetuum Mobile
The Confusion:
Apparently the original sample was offered to both Avicii’s team and Leona’s…however, SyCo (Leona’s label headed by Simon Cowell) was informed the song would be Avicii’s next single and was no longer available. Yet, yesterday, Leona Lewis put out her new summer single, which is pretty much an identical copy of “Fade Into Darkness.” However, the production side for Leona Lewis’s track was provided by Sandy Vee, most famous for production on Rihanna’s Only Girl and David Guetta’s Where Them Girls At. This obviously resulted in a lot of confusion and tension. Avicii’s label, Ministry of Sound is obviously accusing SyCo of plagiarizing their track, yet Simon Cowell is disregarding any claims and still pushing to have the official release asap. I clearly support Avicii as he has been playing this track in all of his sets, including his EDC set, and Radio One has been playing it since back in December. Leona Lewis’s camp had to of known this, yet they still continued production of the track. Whether they had the official rights to it or not (which is still unclear and will probably be settled in court) I think that fact that Avicii has had it previewing on the radio for 6 months now, while Leona first previewed it this week stands above anything.
Here’s what Avicii’s team tweeted –
Avicii’s management – “We never got to hear the track before it was promoed on radio, how could we clear anything? We’re not amateurs – we don’t sign papers without knowing what [we’re] getting into.” – Ash Pournouri, Manager and Executive Producer of Avicii
Avicii’s Tweets
“To be clear im not taking credit for the melody (everything was cleared with penguin cafe orchestra and simon jeffes who wrote the song)”
He goes on to explain that he’s just upset someone else took credit for the song before they released it. Especially because of how much time his label and himself put into it.
Show your support and join Team Avicii
Finally…Kap Slap went ahead and mashed the vocals of the two tracks together which turned out pretty cool and shows how similar these two songs really are. Sorry Leona, I’m on Avicii’s side.

Had to go with the FNT backstage picture…As if “Penguin” (the original version of this track) wasn’t good enough without the vocals. Avicii went out and one up’d himself (didn’t think that was possible) and throws some catchy vocals over it. Productions on par, melodies are everything you’d expect from Avicii, and vocals are simple, yet add the perfect finishing touch to the track. This ladies and gentlemen, is the final version of Avicii’s soon to be HIT single, “Fade Into Darkeness.”
