Just stumbled across this “Started From The Bottom” remix from Mike Posner and friends. I actually really like this and the video shows everyone as they create the song. Definitely worth checking out! This is my favorite remix of the song yet.
Hip-Hop | Sean Dee ft. Anna Yvette – Bow and Arrows
Posted by Jess on February 11, 2013
With what is one of the best tracks I’ve heard from Sean Dee comes “Bows and Arrows” featuring an incredible hook and production from Anna Yvette. I am absolutely in love with the chorus and Sean Dee rounds out the track nicely with his verses. He definitely has a promising career in front of him.

Preview, Trance | Dash Berlin Ft. Chris Madin – Fool For Life (Dash Berlin 4AM Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 11, 2013
“#musicislife” is by far my favorite album of 2012. Since its release, the question on my mind has been, which track will Dash Berlin create a 4am remix of? I am happy that they chose “Fool For Life.” It is definitely one of my top 5 favorites from the album, but I feel it has more versatility for a remix than the other tracks do. Only having heard this preview of the remix, I have to say I enjoy Dash Berlin’s piano and synth progression much more than the original. The drop is something different than most Trance listeners are use to hearing. It has a little bit of a breakbeat vibe to it but still has that progressive flow anyone can fall in love with. This remix makes me even more excited to soak in ASOT at UMF this year. This remix is set to release on Aropa Records on February 28th.
Trance | Suncatcher – Simplicity
Posted by Spice on February 11, 2013
Who’s afraid of 138? Trance may have taken a turn for the house-ish in recent years, but take a gander at Suncatcher’s insane soundscapes in “Simplicity” and tell me you’re not a convert to the genre’s faster and more musically complex roots. This track is warm and stirring without feeling cliched; thanks to lush synths and a driving theme, it’s pure uplifting gold. With releases like this, it’s easy to see why Suncatcher has already seen heavy support from titans like Armin van Buuren, Aly & Fila, Above & Beyond and Roger Shah — it’s clear that the young Romanian producer is one to keep an eye on in 2013.

Compilation | Goldroom – Solé Fixtape Vol. 7
Posted by Juicebox on February 3, 2013
The boys over at Solé Bicycles are back at it again with another installment of their monthly Fixtape series. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Solé, they’re a visionary lifestyle brand based in Venice, CA that specializes in fixed gear bicycles. These bikes are definitely worth checking out so don’t sleep on them and keep your eyes peeled for a custom FNT Solé bike which will be released shortly (right Brian Ruben?) This month’s mixtape was crafted by LA’s own Goldroom who provides a sound like nothing we’ve posted before. It’s different, but it’s fantastic…do yourself a favor and just sit back and start a relationship with this sensual mix for the next hour (tracklist after the jump).
Progressive House, Trance | Gabriel & Dresden vs. Sia – Breathe Me
Posted by Spice on January 26, 2013
Not too much to say about this one. Everyone knows “Breathe Me” by Sia — it’s a beautiful and authentically emotional song that cuts right to the core. San Francisco-based duo Gabriel & Dresden (who are no slouches in the remix department) give it a trancey, synthy facelift in this epic reboot and the end result is nothing short of amazing. While it’s probably not the most optimal track to begin your Saturday night with, it’s definitely something you’ll want to add to your music collection.
For maximum angst, double this up with Butch Clancy’s dark, riveting dubstep version. Not recommended for anyone who has recently gone through a breakup.
