Preview, Progressive House | Pierce Fulton Previews
Posted by Middy on November 13, 2013
Generally we have to wait quite a while in between various Pierce Fulton release, largely due to label delays, but now we are gifted with two remixes in as many Mondays. First up this Monday, he is part of the first installment of remixes for Tritonal’s “Now Or Never” with a club mix from the duo. Pierce brings a controlled aggression to the track that contrasts the vocals from Pheobe Ryan. The following Monday, he will be part of the second Dance (RED) album that is partnering with Stereosonic to live stream the event, and brought together Tiësto and U2 last year for a track. “Hey Now” was a summer jam, but Pierce Fulton gives it a melodic makeover fit for his sets and the club setting. The album will features new tracks from Dada Life, Popeska, DallasK, Crookers, Benny Benassi, Tommy Trash and more, and the proceeds will all go to the fight against AIDS. Pre-order your copy here.
Progressive House | Magnus & Timon – Svart
Posted by Middy on October 7, 2013
After taking some time off to work on their studio and get their career on the right track with some labels, French duo Magnus & Timon are back with a new single “Svart” to remind their fans why they liked them in the first place. “Svart” has a nice blend of club and festival elements, lending to more live side of their sounds. Look for more from these in the coming months.

Mashups, Progressive House | DOSVEC – Hey Now Momentum
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 2, 2013
When Martin Solveig teamed up with The Cataracs to release “Hey Now” it was a Pop / Top 40 tune that would be difficult to receive club / festival support. DOSVEC just took care of that by mashing it up with “Momentum” (Michael Calfan Mix) – The tune now has a great Progressive House feel that is sure to satisfy any EDM fanatic –
Electronic, Videos | Andrew Bayer – Need Your Love (Music Video)
Posted by Middy on September 12, 2013
A little throwback Thursday (kind of) here with this video from Andrew Bayer and Anjunabeats. His album “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave” has been my favorite dance music album since “Group Therapy”. “Need Your Love” was just released in a club mix form, making it amenable to the club or festival setting, as Above & Beyond showed at Electric Zoo. The video takes us on a journey through the stunning forests of Southern Poland in the Tatra Mountains. The scenery fits the beauty of the track to a t. If you don’t have the album, check our review here.
Electro, House | Ghost Hunna – Talkin’ That
Posted by admin on August 22, 2013
A fresh face to the scene, Ghost Hunna, is two songs deep and already making quite the imprint on the blogosphere. With album art and music moniker that scream hip-hop, Ghost Hunna might surprise you with his electronic-house musical stylings. Hunna’s first release about a month ago was titled “Smellin’ Like I’m Rich” and was just about as ‘house’ as one can get.
“Talkin’ That”, on the other hand, is bridging the ever-closing gap between hip-hop and electronic music. The track features some beautifully chopped vocals and an airy, ambient sound similar to what I imagine The Weeknd would sound like if he were to ever record something semi-uplifting/cheerful/joyous.
Ghost Hunna is on to something big here and this is truly just the beginning. Be sure to check out the song and leave your feedback below, as I’m sure there will be plenty more to come.
Dubstep, Electronic, Trance | Andrew Bayer – Need Your Love / England / Detuned
Posted by Middy on August 21, 2013
One of the most musical and compositionally gifted producers in dance music now, Andrew Bayer has served up a three track EP for your ear drums and they are delighted. “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave“, remains my favorite album this year and one of the most popular selections “Need Your Love”, got a club mix to translate its beauty to the club setting, which it did without losing any of the original elegance. “England” was the gem of “Anjunabeats Volume 10“, and now we have the full copy in all of its glory. First premiered at TATW 450 in Bangalore, “Detuned” is a glitchy, dubstep track that shows departure from what we normally get from Bayer, but still remains true to his sound.
Events, Review | Paris & Simo @ Lavo NYC 7/27/13 (Review)
Posted by Middy on August 6, 2013
Anybody familiar with high-end nightlife in NYC, knows Lavo and its reputation for an incredibly strict door, good-looking patrons, over-priced drinks and top-line DJs. There are plenty of places in NYC with the first three, but few have added the last one to their repertoire.
On this particular night, I was a bit sluggish from getting home from a rather aggressive night of drinking with Moiez the night before, thus I was hoping Paris & Simo would bring it to keep me going. After quickly crushing a Red Bull at a nearby Duane Reed, a walked down the familiar block of 58th in between Park & Madison, seeing drunk dudes and chicks spilling out of cabs and town cars, yelling at each other as if their hearing was already gone before they made their way into the proper line. Navigating the line is an art, pushing your way through entitled VIPs and b-rate models, just hoping to be seen by somebody, it is your job to be noticed in the mixture of plastic…. and plastic.
