Earlier this morning, Armada announced that part one of Dash Berlin’s “We Are, Pt. 1” album has reached number one on the iTunes dance charts. “We Are” is a concise 8 track offering from the Dutch legend, who enlisted the help of acts like 3LAU, John Dahlback, Disfunktion, Jay Cosmic for their production prowess. Perhaps the vocalists shine the brightest, as Dash also included Bright Lights, Collin McLoughlin, and Roxanne Emery on part one of this exceptional body of work.

Standout tracks on the album include “Here Tonight” and “Never Let You Go” that have the ability to transport you into another realm. Dash Berlin’s “We Are” ranks as one of our favorite albums this year, and it’s more than deserving of it’s current position iTunes. There’s no question about it, #WeAre impressed. Keep an eye out for “We Are, Pt. 2” coming soon. Shout out to LK and Borys!

Bass, Electronic | 3LAU Feat. Bright Lights – How You Love Me (Prince Fox Remix)

 3LAU FEAT. BRIGHT LIGHTS – HOW YOU LOVE ME (PRINCE FOX REMIX)

You know, as a guy who has been big into starch lately, I can confidently say that Prince Fox’s remix of “How You Love Me” stands out among them all. Instead of going the typical progressive house route in remixing this track, he put his own bassy spin on it. This came out forever ago, five days to be exact, so you may have already heard it. Nonetheless, it is just too good not to post so if you haven’t yet, be sure to give this a listen.

Progressive House | 3LAU, Paris & Simo feat. Bright Lights – Escape

Posted by on June 24, 2013

3LAU & Paris & Simo

Vegas kid and mashup man, 3LAU has teamed up with Canadian duo, Paris & Simo to present their long awaited single “Escape“. The instrumental version has been hammered out by both 3LAU and Paris & Simo for quite some time now, but now they have acquired the hot in demand vocal talents of LA based singer Bright Lights to give it the anthemic sound it was looking for. This is the first taste of originals from Justin Blau, with the big room twist we have come to expect from Paris & Simo, including their previous release on Revealed Recordings, “Seasons“. For those who say it sounds too similar to “Rift” from Michael Brun & Dirty South, let the above picture of them playing “Escape” at E Zoo on September 2nd, 2012, well before “Rift” was on the market be your evidence of originality.

It is fascinating to see Justin Blau go from being a college kid hanging out in the Las Vegas clubs his dad works with, to now touring all over the US with his first big single getting released on Hardwell‘s Revealed Recordings. Paris & Simo have proven themselves to be champions of the big room sound, while 3LAU still has to prove himself beyond this point with further successes on the original and remix front. As a first original, I am very impressed, and he is heading down the path that MAJK has led from mashups to originals.

Hardwell had easily one of the standout sets at Ultra Music Festival with an awe inspiring set of largely unreleased tracks from himself and his label, putting the world on notice that Robbert van Corput is without a doubt one of the premier DJs in the world. He not only rocked the MainStage, but he also had his own Revealed Records showcase during the week and then took over the Worldwide stage the following weekend, all of which is documented in the video.

The video starts with his performance in 2012, which was as he described one his best ever and then takes it to 2013 and his set this year on the MainStage, showing the growth in just one year of this rising superstar. One of the many new songs premiered at Ultra, his collaboration with Revealed Record running mate, Dyro and Bright Lights on vocals, “Never Say Goodbye” is given a full preview in the video. The track will be out May 20th on Revealed Recordings.

Leaders in the blossoming Colorado dance music scene, Savoy make their debut on Wolfgang Garter’s Kindergarten Records with their new single “I Dare You”. Savoy reunite with Heather Bright or Bright Lights after collabs like “We Are The Sun“, who unsurprisingly lays down some stunning vocals over Savoy’s heavy instrumental that lets Heather’s vocals shine, while adding growling saws and thumping bass to this well layered electro track. Having just finished up their Live With Lasers tour, look for more original material to come from them before they get back out on the road. If you have not already grab their recent 4 track EP “Personal Legend” for free here.
