Progressive House | Max Elto – Shadow Of The Sun (Mako Remix)
Posted by Mel on May 26, 2014
When I posted the original club mix of this song back in December, I was extremely fond it. It was my favorite song for quite some time and still to this day do I think it is one of the most under-appreciated progressive house tracks. Mako is a duo who has done big things last year and have more big things coming this year, most notably a collaboration with Steve Angello, so if there were a pair of producers I could trust to remix this it would be my all time favorite dudes and my tight, tight bros, The Chainsmokers. Mako are also two guys who are capable of doing justice to the original and they did with their remix. The song starts off well with the vocals being placed at the forefront, but as soon as the synth build comes in you’ll fall in love. Support the guys by purchasing it on Beatport and get ready for the inevitable release of “Children Of The Wild”, their song with Steve Angello.

Melbourne Bounce | The Chainsmokers – #SELFIE
Posted by Mel on January 29, 2014
At long last, the first original label release by The Chainsmokers is finally out. What started as a joke for one of their shows in December, eventually became what it is now. “#Selfie” is a melbourne bounce track that is very unique because it features a girl talking about stuff, stupid stuff. It’s hilarious. Only kind of though but it is clear who this song was made for, and that would be middle aged urban males. Or young white girls. The song is quite the departure from their typical style and even though it is a little gimmicky, it’s also an entertaining song with a pretty good drop. As you can probably guess, the music video consists of a whole lot of fan submitted selfies as well as the girl narrating as she gets ready or something. The girl actually looks exactly like I imagined she would from her voice, perfect. Just kidding she’s alright (8?/10). If you care enough to do so, I’m sure they would appreciate you purchasing the track on iTunes.

Deep House, Electronic | Huxley – Inkwell EP
Posted by mimada on December 10, 2013
Guest post from Swedish house maniac, Rebecca.
December started out pretty dope. The new Stockholm-based one day festival, ”November Lights” on the 30th of November welcomed December with a pyrotechnical masterpiece – namely Tiesto’s 2.5 hour set. There were of course other DJs playing that night, but they faded away in the shadows of the highly financed, visually grand performance. I had troubles getting up from bed for a week after from my poor, sore body.; the indicator for a good rave and my bad physique.
As most people now tune in on the ready-made Christmas playlists, I can’t really face it yet. There are still a couple of days left until Christmas hits with maximal power, and I try to enjoy every moment left before it’s time to travel back home to my family and loop Michael Bublé’s velvet soft version of ”It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”.
So, today I filled my ”Super Soft” playlist with a super soft package: the brand new EP release from Huxley. Inkwell is my favorite, and I match it with a cozy bed and fluffy duvet. Dive in below.

House | AObeats & Manila Killa – Perfect Strangers (Kastra Remix)
Posted by Middy on December 9, 2013
The original samples the vocals from The Knocks breakout single, “The Feeling” and now those vocals go through another remix treatment. Kastra keeps the indie-dance flavor of the original, but adds an upbeat twist to it with a bed of driving chords over the cheery melody from AObeats & Manila Killa. The remix is a freebee by just giving him a like on Facebook, so grab it below. Check out the preview for his acid-fueled remix of Novaspace feat. Marie L “Give It Up” coming December 16th.

Trap | ZAGOR – Trap Is The New Shit (December Mix)
Posted by yabishcic on December 4, 2013
Ok, so if you still aren’t feeling ZAGOR after my last post, then this should get your mind right. ZAGOR is on the trap come-up and is a mastermind behind the trip-hop induced beats. This mini mix he did for the wintery month of December should bump the snow right off of your ice-covered car hood. With a compilation of all the hottest trap in the game as of this moment… #bangbang
