Hot off the coattails of Tiësto and Martin Garrix’s “The Only Way is Up” announcement comes a bootleg that’s here to soak up some of the spotlight, and rightfully so. Dekagram, an ATL native looking to make a name for himself in the realm of progressive house, dropped his version of the Dutch boys unreleased single yesterday, and it’s turning some heads. His version takes on the same premise as the original, but he really lets the beast out, and that’s a change we can whole-heartedly welcome. From start to finish, Dekagram lets the floodgates wide open with high powered synth leads, a hard driving bass-line, and tasteful use of the originals vocal cuts.

For those who don’t feel like there’s enough “umpf” coming from Tiësto n’ Garrix’s version, this will definitely do the trick. Dekagram is making big strides of improvement in his productions, which just makes us that much more excited for whatever he’s got cooking up next. In the meantime you can enjoy his “Only Way Up” bootleg as a freebie!

Bass | Carmada – Maybe (Dr. Fresch Remix)

Off the official OWSLA Carmada remix pack comes ‘Dr. Fresch’ with his genre busting remix of “Maybe”.
This progressively gets darker and teases you with what is to come after the drop. After the first breakdown as we approach the bridge; ‘Fresch’ mixes things up and goes into a slow melodic trap beat with 808 snares with a much softer synth. This unexpected beat change from the 4 on the floor house kicks to melodic trap, is the perfect way to gently move you on to another song…that is if you haven’t already hit replay.

Deorro is a name thats on everyone’s lips these days. He’s gone from small town club venues to mainstages world-wide and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. His latest release on Ultra Records is a testament to this fact and boy oh boy has he added a whole new meaning to the term “bass.” The development of Deorro as an artist has exponential, as the quality of each release brings something fresh to the ever-changing EDM club scene. Above you can get a first hand experience of the type of party Deorro likes to throw. He’s finding a balance in his music that is both ear catching and groove-provoking – an element of his music I hope he does not ever plan to change.

Scope out his latest EP “Boombox” and if you’re attending Coachella don’t miss an opportunity have your face melted.

Progressive House | Hardwell & W&W – The Dance Floor Is Yours

A few months ago, during an interview at A State of Trance 650 in Utrecht, Hardwell offered the following response to Armin Van Buuren in regards to what his album might sound like:

“I’m experimenting with a lot of new, different sounds. I’m a bit sick of the same formula that’s going on in EDM right now so I’m just trying to change boundaries and look at what’s going on in the rest of the world. Even in the hip hop scene and the trance scene and try to combine as much as possible.” [VIDEO]

I’m going to let that marinate as you listen to this new offering from Hardwell. Ha!

One of my homies put me on to the band MisterWives, and I can’t deny their track “Reflections” is super catchy! Late to the party as for a change, as word on the street they’re already selling out shows cross country, but it’s never too late to discover a band that will for sure have their radio hit in no time, if it’s not this one! This is a must listen and check out their EP Reflections on iTunes. The band will be performing at Webster Hall September 4th, so make sure you get your tickets and go check them out if you’re in the area! This is a must listen!

Progressive House | Lush & Simon Feat. Delaney Jane – In My Hands

Posted by on August 11, 2014

Lush & Simon Feat. Delaney Jane - In My HandsIt was only a matter of time before these guys got big. With releases now on Revealed, Protocol, Armada, and now Doorn, the Italian duo continue to show signs of growth and improvement with each passing release. “Hunter” saw them integrate some more percussion based builds, while still returning to their strong suit in melodies. The duo have overcome a change in personnel with Simon being exchanged for another Simon and they have not skipped a beat, giving us the vintage driving melodic sound we know from Lush & Simon here with “In My Hands”.

Electronic | Banks – Drowning (Howl Edit)

Banks - Drowning (Howl Edit)

I was at the mall earlier looking for a scarf for my bro when I checked my phone to see an email from Soundcloud. Howl, the mysterious producer behind these great songs had messaged me again, like he always does when he wants something. I wouldn’t call him a toxic friend, but he is close. He also released a new song last night, an edit of Banks’ “Drowning”, and it is really good. A lot of the original remains but what he did change was a big improvement to the already impressive original.
