DJ-Set | Weekend Mixes 11/8/12
Posted by Middy on November 8, 2012
This week we have an outrageous amount of mixes. There is music for days. Not really, more for hours, but you get the point. We start things off with Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman’s weekly radio show and their upbeat selection and melodic mixing, which is an element that is missing from many podcasts. Next up our friends over at The Drop had Tritonal on for an interview and for guest mix duties in a trance heavy episode. Avicii just released the 8th episode of his Levels podcast, which featured the vocal version of “Nicktim”, which to be pretty honest is pretty awful and gave the radio premier of Henrik B’s upcoming track “Voices”, which in contrast is outstanding. Much like the label itself, Fool’s Gold Radio brings you an incredibly eclectic tracklist and with A-trak on the decks, the mixing is through the roof. The rest of the mixes come from Walden, Laidback Luke, and another from The Drop. Tracklist as always are after the jump.

Progressive House | Calvin Harris feat. Ne-Yo – Let’s Go (Swanky Tunes & Hard Rock Sofa Remix)
Posted by Middy on November 4, 2012
To be honest I am quite tired of remixes of this track especially since it had a high profile beatport remix competition, but since its unveiling at Tomorrowland, the Hard Rock Sofa & Swanky Tunes remix has been one I have been eagerly awaiting. It draws on elements of past productions like the saws in “Here We Go” and a similar bass line to “Quasar“, while adding its own unique combination of electro stabs and grinding synths. This high energy take on “Let’s Go” manages to stand tall in a very crowded remix field as the Russians prove once again their production prowess.

House, Videos | EDM Video Roundup – September
Posted by Middy on October 4, 2012
After doing a roundup for August, we are back to give you the best EDM videos from September. We start off with the video for Madeon’s “The City” that involves an intense chalk fight between two sides in an abandoned factory area. This video must have been a blast to be in and really needs to be recreated in real life. It emulated the colorful twists of Madeon’s nu-disco sound. We continue after the jump with more from Lazy Rich & Chris Lake, David Guetta, Deadmau5, Thomas Gold & more.
Electro-House | Nicky Romero & Calvin Harris – Iron
Posted by Middy on September 11, 2012
After launching his new label Protocol Recordings with the successful single “WTF”, Nicky Romero zags Scottish do it all producer, singer / songwriter, and DJ, Calvin Harris to usher in his second Protocol release “Iron”. While similarities have been drawn to Alesso’s upcoming release “Clash”, one must keep in mind that Alesso has changed that song a few times and these tracks are worked on over the span of months, making it hard to really determine who made the progression first. No one made a big stink about Zedd & W&W’s similar sounding “Shotgun” tracks that were released around the same time. Controversy aside, this track is a superb effort from Nicky Romero who is always looking to push the boundaries of dance music and create new sounds. Calvin Harris steps aside from the production side of things and steps in front of the mic as we were used to seeing him do with his early work.
Dubstep, Videos | Calvin Harris feat. Example – We’ll Be Coming Back (Feature Cuts Remix) [Music Video]
Posted by Jess on September 6, 2012
It has been awhile since we last got our hands on a new Feature Cuts remix and the wait has been worth it. He just released a huge Dubstep remix of Calvin Harris’ hit single “We’ll Be Coming Back” featuring Example. Be careful when the drop hits, especially the second one because it is pretty dirty. Accompanying the remix is a dope video remix of the original music video as well. Someone commented on Soundcloud that the remix is “exactly what a magical T-Rex that poops out rainbow lasers sounds like.” Is that true? See for yourself and grab the free download below.
House | Calvin Harris – The Girls (Cendrim Remix)
Posted by Jess on July 31, 2012
Calvin Harris’ “The Girls” ranks up there as one my favorite songs ever and it should be one of yours as well. Seriously, what more can you ask for than a track that brags about the fact that he gets all the girls in a slightly comedic way? Better yet, I recently stumbled upon this amazing remix of the song by Cendrim that takes it and turns into Nu-Disco jam. Cendrim is apparently only 14 years old and from the looks of it, he has a long and prosperous career in front of him.
