Posted by Spice on August 24, 2012
Middy and I are back with our picks for Day 2 of the whirlwind parade of awesomeness that is Electric Zoo. There’s no clear theme to Day 2 (it’s not the “dubstep” day or the “trance” day), but there is a wide variety of excellent talent to look forward to and spectacles that are sure to astound and delight. Without further adieu, let’s Aoki-jump right in — fun, excitement, and madness await…
Progressive House | Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl feat. Georgi Kay – In My Mind (Walden Remix)
Posted by Spice on August 7, 2012
If you’ve been to any music festival with an EDM billing since Ultra, you’re probably incredibly tired of hearing Axwell’s remix of “In My Mind.” I feel you. I’m really sick of it too. Fortunately, talented newcomer Walden has managed to inject new life into this track with a bright, orchestral remix that keeps the vocals intact but alters just about everything else. He has definitely thought outside of the box here and it really shines through in those dramatic (and dramatically different) chord progressions. If you’re not up to speed on Walden, you should check out his past releases (pro tip: free downloads galore…) because this young Australian is definitely on the verge of breaking into the major leagues. Hey, when you’ve got an exclusive deal with Beatport to remix one of the biggest tracks of the year, you know you’re well on your way.

Progressive House | Michael Calfan – Mozaik
Posted by Middy on April 16, 2012
Young up and coming French Dj / producer, Michael Calfan most known for his massive production “Resurrection” championed by Axwell and his remix of David Guetta & Nicki Minaj – Turn Me On, is back with a massive single “Mozaik”. I do no think this is another “Resurrection”, but this is still a massive single that has flown under the radar a bit. The track starts with happy piano key work that crescendos into a break of a pulsing bass line, that same piano melody and a layered synth chord progression that creates a uplifting euphoric feeling that will surely put a smile on your face and force you to start dancing. Michael Calfan has been quiet so far this year, but when he makes tracks they are top notch works every single time. Also included is a free remix of SHM’s Greyhound from Cegor that flips the drop into progressive chords creating a different feel with much of the same energy. Buy is just a link to his Facebook page to download there.
House, Progressive House | Ivan Gough, Feenixpawl feat. Georgi Kay – In My Mind (Axwell Edit) (Special Features Edit)
Posted by GMONEY on March 29, 2012
Eden Anderson aka Special Features has returned to the spotlight once again with yet another harmonious and aesthetically ear-pleasing track. This time, his work is a (better?) edit of Axwell’s edit of the popular Anthem “In My Mind” from Ivan Gough and Feenixpawl. Eden first premiered this mix live at his first ever North American show at Pitzer College in Los Angeles last weekend, and from what we hear it was the star of the show (besides the man himself). Look out for more posts on Special Features in the coming months, because he’s got some huge releases down the pipe…
Also, “Heart” Special Features new track on Hype Machine to get it to the top!

Progressive House | Leventina & Dinka – Chariots (Original Club Mix)
Posted by Middy on March 29, 2012
This collaboration between the distinguished Dinka and the laudable Leventina is something you don’t want to miss from label aptly named Enormous Tunes. The build hits you with moving synths with quick key work and a varying clap that starts a great rhythm for the track. The song crescendos into a break of pulsing pitched synths and driving electro house synths that show the influence of both artists. We have featured Leventina a few times before with singles such as “We’re Gonna Start” and “Blonds Have More Fun” with their melodic, hard hitting electro house style that is both unique and creative, and accessible to all. They are getting support from more and more big name Djs such as Tiesto, Hardwell, EDX, Morgan Page and more. Dinka is one of the great female Djs, with a command of many styles of house and growing fan base, she is one you need to follow. Check out her 3 track EP released earlier this month.

As a bonus here is a remix of Axwell & Sebastian Ingrosso feat. Michael Feiner – Together from Cat Skillz. It is a nice progressive house take on the track that rivals the ridiculous remix from Thand put out earlier this year.
Progressive House | Thomas Gold – Sing2Me
Posted by Middy on March 26, 2012
After being first previewed by Axwell on the first edition of Swedish House Mafia’s BBC Radio One Takeover back in September, “Sing2Me” from the German master Thomas Gold has been one of the most wanted tracks in the realm of house. The vocal bit moves perfectly with the melody created by the impeccable piano work. The alternating bass line tops this whole thing off creating a sense of pure euphoria. I don’t know about you but I think there should be a “Pete Tong Welcome to the Weekend Mix” because it just does not sound right without that shout in there. Also have you noticed the releases on Axtone this year, “In My Mind“, “Quasar“, “Trio” and now “Sing2Me”, this label is putting out only anthems. I can’t wait to see what else is in store for Axtone with Henrik B ft Rudy “Leave A Light On” and more coming, their dominance should prevail through 2012. You can also get a free “Sing2Me” ringtone from Axtone’s Facebook page to replace your old “By Me a Drink” or “Sexyback” or whatever the kids are using these days for ringtones. Be hip and get a cool EDM ringtone for free from Axtone.
