Young Australian producer, Walden follows up his debut single on Big Beat Records, “Ciaco” with his first offering of 2013, “Intropial”. Not straying from his progressive tendencies, Walden weaves together an uplifting melody with well timed stutters that may seem overused for some, but not here, pitched vocals and a steady bass line. As he is in the midst of his first stateside tour, Walden is proving once again that he can provide consistent quality. You can find info on the rest of his tour after the jump.

Electro-House | Danny Avila – Breaking Your Fall (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on January 15, 2013
Well connected aspiring Spanish DJ, Danny Avila has released the remix package for his debut single on Big Beat records with contributions from Mikael Weermets, dBerrie, Sick Individuals & Lucky Date. Each take very different approaches to their remix duty, each letting the vocals from the original shine and then remolding the melody as their own. Mikael Weermets takes the original melody and adds his own stuttered electro stabs for a tougher sound, while Sick Individuals distort the original melody and add their own grinding drop. NYC native dBerrie adds a quick pulsating electro synth line to replace the original melody and Lucky Date adds a grungy, bass heavy drop, making it possibly the most unique of the package.
Progressive House | Fehrplay – I Can’t Stop It
Posted by Middy on January 14, 2013
One of the names to watch in 2013, Fehrplay makes his return to Eric Prydz’s Pryda Friends imprint with his debut 2013 release “I Can’t Stop It”. The Norwegian producer provides us with the hallmarks of what we can expect with a Fehrplay production and Pryda Friends release — subtly and melodic complexity. Getting its first play on EPIC radio 005 and later being chosen as an essential new tune by Pete Tong, Fehrplay uses a rolling bass line with euphoric synth chords and prominent arps, aided by entrancing vocals to create a complete, full body track sure to remain prominent for the first few months of the year..

Hip-Hop, Videos | Dillon Cooper – Survival Of The Fittest [Music Video]

Dillon Cooper is on the brink of breaking out of his shell – no pun intended (get it? Brink. Brink Brinker. Disney Movie. Rollerblades. Dillon Cooper blades.). Poised with passion, energy, and a special musical blessing, Brooklyn’s own Dillon Cooper shares the first video single off of his forthcoming debut project, Cozmik. Cooper’s musical inspiration is driven by spirit of pro roller blade skater and best friend Brian “Cozmik” Scott, who was tragically murdered during a BK robbery back in 2010.
The 19-year old may have only lived through the tail end of hip-hop’s golden era, but he packs a full flare of raw, 90’s inspiration into his music. A spunky freshness comparable to Bel-Air’s Prince, Cooper showcases his wordplay while staying very animated in front of the camera. Speaking of the camera, “Survival of the Fittest” was directed and edited by Hi-Lite Reel Boston. Stay tuned, big things coming from this young gun.

That question is answered with the release of “Love Me To Death”. Less pop and more alternative, Jez Dior sheds more light on who he is and his history. The song is as strong if not stronger than “Candles” and affirms that Jez is here to stay and not just a one hit wonder.

House, Videos | Zedd performs “Clarity” live on the David Letterman Show
Posted by Middy on January 4, 2013
A spot usually reserved for anyone but a Dj, Zedd made his US network television debut last night on the David Letterman show, performing “Clarity” live. Zedd displayed his talents on the piano, showing us his versatility as a musician, Foxes gives a B effort on vocals, some live great strings and most importantly Alvin Risk on backup vocals killing it in that scarf that Letterman wanted at the end. This just shows the power of having a major label (Interscope) behind you and the doors they can open for any artist.
