Electro-House, Progressive House | Lift Off #010
Posted by Mel on March 23, 2013
Many things are changing now that spring is upon us. Girls are going to start wearing more revealing clothing, the weather is going to transition from cold to slightly less cold (I live in Canada), and Lift Off is no longer monthly. From now on, Lift Off will go up weekly on Saturdays, primarily because we didn’t like how the tracks we posted would end up being weeks old. This way, every track that goes up will be no older than a week. It will also mean that there won’t be as many songs on each edition as there were previously, though we feel this is an acceptable sacrifice for more up to date tracks. We start things off above with Reuben Keeney’s “Good times together” which is carried by a Kaskade like piano and soft vocals before hitting a progressive drop.
Beatport: Reuben Keeney (feat. Katt Niall) – Good Times Together
Candyland released an EP in honor of their Miami debut at WMC. My favorite track of the EP is their festival remix of Timeflies’ “Nothing At All”.
The Plastic People remix of the Imagine Dragons “It’s Time” was my favorite song for quite a while. Markus Cole does a magnificent job of giving the song a progressive refresh that brought the indie-rock song back to life.
No uplifting chords or melodies to be found here, Kevin Drew’s latest “Halogen” is just a massive big room track.
Preview, Progressive House | Pryda – Power Drive (Preview)
Posted by Middy on March 19, 2013
No the release date is no joke, April 1st will mark the occasion for the release of the next Eric Prydz single — the forceful, haunting, yet melodic, “Power Drive”. Coming off of a banner year that saw his 3 CD Pryda album release, increased touring, a move to the US and his tracks “Everyday” and “Allein” still making waves, “Power Drive” is yet another reminder of the unstoppable force that is Eric Prydz. With an Eric Prydz album coming hopefully sometime this year (he says so), he is setting himself up to have possibly an even bigger 2013.
Electro-House, Progressive House | Walden – Intropial (Remixes) [Preview]
Posted by Middy on March 7, 2013
With several releases already under his belt this year and the video for “Intropial” coming out a month ago, Walden tabs three up and comers to remix his latest single on Big Beat Records. Dutch duo TV Noise provide a melodic electro track that does not provide a hint of much in the preview, but from what we hear, it gives the track an edge that may make it more suitable for the bigger stage. Pierce Fulton previews what is to be his second release of the year with a remix that uses a stripped back progressive drop that does not try to do too much, but is just what you want from Pierce Fulton. Ghost provides a dubstep rendition of the track with cruchy synths and fast paced laser synths and snares. The remix package is scheduled for a March 18th release date, just in time for the more “business” oriented side of WMC.
Electro | MVTH – Wide Body
Posted by Jess on February 25, 2013
MVTH is back with their perfect blend of trap, electro, and hard house/rave stylings in the form of their new single “Wide Body” released via Burn The Fire records. “Wide Body” is one of my favorite tracks from the LA duo to date, so make sure to cop it. You won’t be able to help yourself from jumping up and down to this one.

Dirty South takes behind the scenes for his upcoming album “Speed Of Life” and shows us some of the creative process in how he put it all together. We see him in studios across the US recording various instruments like his guitar that his very fond of and working with vocalists Rudy and St Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford Joe Gil.

Progressive House | Tim Mason – Swoon
Posted by Middy on February 11, 2013
Its second release of the year, Steve Angello’s Size Records has outdone itself once more with this etheral release from Brighton native, Tim Mason. The UK producer who has already released hits like “The Moment” and “Anima” provides us with yet another top flight single. It has been quite a while since we heard something from Tim Mason, but as usual from the Size camp where quality tops quantity, the wait is going to be worth it because the product will not sound like some drivel churned out in a few hours. Tim Mason puts together a well layered melody with sublime synth chords, a simple yet effective arp and a slow, rolling bass line in his inaugural release of the year and one of his strongest to date.
