House, Videos | Swanky Tunes & Hard Rock Sofa – Phantom
Posted by Middy on October 13, 2011
This pair of Russian trios are not stopping their rise to prominence in EDM with countless singles and remixes made together and separately this year alone. Next year has the potential to be even bigger for these guys and it should be a pleasure to watch. Phantom has a big room feel with electro synths and a heavy drum progression, that will certainly send this one up the charts. Still not available on beatport in the US but it will be soon.

I have a massive post for you this week with sublime remixes from Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten, and a track from rising American, Shogun.

It is a must have for any trance fan. Get it on Beatport HERE.

Ferry Corsten and Moby are two icons in EDM and Ferry brings this song to another level with the added synth work in the drops, while keeping that very relaxed feel that Moby has captured so well. Get it on Beatport HERE.

Electro, Preview | Dada Life Preview, Joe Garston
Posted by Middy on September 13, 2011
Dada Life, Afrojack and R3hab all at once? Sign me up for that. This Joe Garston song has been flying up the electro-house charts on beatport and you can see why. Fresh off of his hit release “Top of the World” earlier this summer (yes summer is technically not over) that was mashed by everyone and their mom, he lets loose this monster. This has a similar sound with that hard hitting electro, synth work and thumping bass.

Now I know some or even most of you are going to skip over this post because trance is not upbeat enough or too repetitive or because you can’t party to trance. I understand, I can’t force you to like music, but I can give you a taste of it and make you better informed. I plan on making this a weekly posting to keep you guys up to date on the best of trance. Trance is uplifting, emotional music that can be played in many settings. It can be played as dance music such as if you have ever seen a trance artist live like Above and Beyond, (the best show I have ever seen) then you know how much energy it can have. So lets get to the music. Here is the music video for Mansion by Gareth Emery and Ashley Wallbridge and the song is pure Trance gold.

Here is another cut from Gareth Emery’s new CD “The Sound Of Garuda Pt. 2”, which has two new tracks from him and 12 new songs overall. Gareth Emery is a total boss so get this guy’s music. Some people have said that trance is becoming too mainstream or moving too much towards house, but this CD stays with with the roots of Trance combining influences of the new era trance to create an amazing CD start to finish. Get it on iTunes or beatport.

Here is the latest track from Trance veteran Andy Moor on Armada records (Armin’s Record Label”. It is a beautiful trance song that works with the latest in trance with some female vocals, uplifting synth and typical trance bass to tie it all in. Buy it HERE.

This remix of the American BT’s “A Million Stars” is absolutely sublime. The bass, the female vocals, the hands in the air synth, especially on the drop is all just so good. If you are driving you will want to go really fast and if you are sitting you will want to stand.

Electro, House, Mashups | Enrique Iglesias ft. Lil Wayne – Dirty Dancer (Savoy Remix)
Posted by Middy on August 12, 2011
Following their collab on “The Way We See the World” Afrojack and Nervo have come together again and added Steve Aoki to make a great song set to release August 16th. Here is the Savoy remix they did for having I’m In Need making number 1 in the beatport dubstep chart. It is quite good, with some heavy electro drops and well crafted builds. Also take a look at how the video for Dirty Dancer is almost exactly the same as the video for Nero – Guilt, kind of funny.

Bonus:
Here is a fantastic mashup from Ken Loi. It is longer then most mashups, but stay with it because it changes throughout and stays excellent. The beginning has some more heavy electro in it and around the middle it transitions to a more melodic synth and piano driven song with some vocals as well.

Electro, House, Preview, Videos | Rye Rye ft. Robyn – Never Will be Mine Remixes
Posted by Middy on August 9, 2011
These remixes for Invisible just need to come out already with Dirty South, Kaskade and John Dahlback putting together quite the remix package. In this remix package, Moguai, Fedde Le Grand and R3hab all do amazing jobs on their respective remixes. Fedde and R3hab may be the best cuts, but don’t sleep on Moguai. The drop at 1:42 in R3hab’s remix is absolutely insane. Fedde always makes hits and beatport chart toppers so you only expect the best from him and he delivers again with this remix. Moguai’s remix has a long build with a nice electro infused drop. Also Robyn’s voice is amazing in this song.

Electro, House | Tim Mason Preview, Dillon Francis, Michael Woods & More
Posted by Middy on July 29, 2011
Another EDM artist taking an indie song and making it good, I can live with that. You are all aware of Dillon Francis’s Beautician, a must download back in April. Here he comes back with version number two with a different feel, but still an amazing song nonetheless. It is much more chill with less dubstep and more along the lines of his moombahton work, but it is still a great song. It is on the maddecent compilation out today on beatport and since Dillon Francis is such a boss support the man.

Since I didn’t give you guys a download up there I feel bad so here are house tunes to make you feel better. Here is Michael Woods’ latest single Bullet. It is a song with some great synth work with wonderfully crafted builds and drops throughout.

This John Dahlback and Henrik B song is a part of EDX’s No Xcuses compilation on Armada Music. It is a great CD with a lot of quality songs so I would recommend checking it out, but out of the new tracks, this is one of the best. The piano work is phenomenal to create a more relaxed song that just rolls from drop to drop.
