House, Preview | Disclosure – F For You (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Remix) [Preview]

Posted by on July 16, 2013

Disclosure-

Mark my words: 2013 will go down as the summer of Disclosure. Settle has already taken the blogosphere/world by storm, so it’s not terribly surprising that high profile remixes are beginning to pop up.

With “F For You,” the consummate niche-occupier/genre-defier better known as TEED takes an already great song and ramps it up about seven levels. Where Disclosure’s original is tight, polished, and crisp to a fault, TEED’s is spacey, a bit dark, and hypnotically stripped down. Damn. I might like this more than the original, and I like the original quite a bit. Keep your eyes peeled for a release date — not shocking/almost fitting that this went up without one.

Hip-Hop, RnB | Trey Palms – I Hate You

Posted by on July 12, 2013

trey palms - i hate youI’ve been following Trey Palms for quite some time now, and his most recent song “I Hate You” is without a doubt some of his best work to date. Seeing as I have a slight predisposition for melodic, R&B tracks I could be a bit biased, however, the hip-hop crossover record that Palms has crafted is likely to appeal to a wide range of audiences. He harmonizes his first two verses, warbling in a slight auto-tuned, yet full-emotion manor. Then, on the third and final verse he flips back to his rapping where he wraps up the song with a few well-delivered bars.

Although I can’t say I’ve been a fan of every single song that Trey Palms has ever released, he is surely making a mark in my mind and heading in the right direction.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Preview | Emperor – Structures

Posted by on July 11, 2013

After his epic hard hitting remix of Shrine’s “Kursk”, Emperor debuts a new top of the food chain single through Inspected. I am getting a huge Culprate vibe from this track, I don’t know if he helped out Emperor or if he was inspiration, but I am really feeling this. The bassline sounds like a tweaked electric guitar taken through lower octaves that they usually are unable to touch, helping bring in the occasional whale call that puts a smirk on my face. No word yet on a release date.

Ever since I first heard a preview of this last month, I have been eagerly awaiting today’s date. First State makes some incredible progressive tracks and this is no different. I just love everything about this song. There is no further description needed. Take a listen, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Preview, Progressive House | Marcus Schossow – Reverie (Preview)

Posted by on July 3, 2013

Marcus Schossow - ReverieAxtone is known for releasing a select few quality tracks in each year that will have a lasting impact on the sound of that year. This year we have seen the impact of “Wakanda” and the hardstyle revival in mainstream house music, plus Axwell’s return to releases with his own “Center Of The Universe“. Now a staple of Axwell’s sets, “Reverie” from Swede Marcus Schossow will finally get its final release with a remix from Michael Calfan coming later in the summer. The track combines an ominous, spacey build with a hard-hitting, churning drop that should make this a summer favorite. Watch for this on July 12th.

My favorite song of all time is “Payphone” by Maroon 5. It is for that reason that I will always have a soft spot in my heart for them no matter what. I was already a fan of their original “Love Somebody” but DJ Kue made it that much better by adding a touch more energy to it and a great drop. I have had this on repeat since I first heard it.

 

Drum & Bass, Preview | Phuture Doom – Nightfall EP

Posted by on June 24, 2013

Phuture Doom - Nightfall EPOWSLA’s mysterious, Phuture Doom, is at it again. It sounds like a fantastic Drum & Bass tune, but considering the length of the clip, it could be anything. Though the clip is short, I am really excited from what I’ve heard. The video is trippy, so be ready for something out of the ordinary. The song will be a part of Phuture Doom’s upcoming “Nightfall” EP. No official release date yet.
