Progressive House | Dirty South & Those Usual Suspects feat. Erik Hecht – Walking Alone (Arty Remix)
Posted by Middy on February 15, 2012
Arty is simply amazing. He has found a way to find a transcend genre by being able to flawlessly transition between trance and house whenever he feels like and has found himself a niche right in the middle of the two genres, with a big room trance / progressive house employing euphoric piano samples perfect for clubs and festivals. You will find that vintage Arty piano in his remix of Dirty South’s anthem “Walking Alone” our number 6 song of 2011, with a great synth accompaniment, a well fashioned bass line and perfect use of Erik Hecht’s great vocals. Do not miss out on this amazing remix from Arty. As a bonus I included a quality remix of “Walking Alone” from Magnus & Timon. Do not skip this one.

Electro-House, Progressive House | Kaskade ft. Skylar Grey – Room For Happiness (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on February 7, 2012
When you think of melodic, euphoric house coming from the States, Kaskade is the guy with the top notch stuff. Voted the number one Dj in the US and coming off of his incredibly successful artist album “Fire & Ice”, you just knew that remixes were going to come pouring in from all corners of the globe to take advantage of these house gems. “Room For Happiness” has vocals from the talented Skylar Grey, giving it even more an appeal, seeing the success of remixes of her single “Invisible” as well as Dirty South’s remix of “Coming Home”, this was destined to have some big remixes.
Feenixpawl, coming off of their absolutely massive collaboration “In My Mind” with Ivan Gough and Georgi Kay, is back to add to their growing studio output with this massive remix with a strong bassline with a heavy clap and melodic, hands in the air, synths that are perfect for this song. Pixel Cheese delivers on this remix with varying bassline that matches the vocal, with a bass driven interlude and driving synths. Gregori Klosman creates this heavy remix with a funky electro house breakdown and sensitive piano lead to accompany the vocals in the build. Do not sleep on the other remixes included in the package from Mysto & Pizzi, who create a heavy, grungy, electro remix of this song; Pixl who puts out a smooth progressive remix with a distorted undertone, as well as the extended mix of the song. Get the entire package on Beatport or iTunes.
Progressive House | Dirty South & Thomas Gold feat. Kate Elsworth – Eyes Wide Open
Posted by Middy on January 23, 2012
The sequel to the 2011 summer/ second half 2011 anthem “Alive” has finally arrived with the same cast as “Alive” with Dirty South and Thomas Gold providing a sublime instrumental and Kate Elsworth laying down beautiful female vocals that fit perfectly in the song. As first premiered at Pacha NYC on 11/11/11, just as Walking Alone was first played at Electric Zoo and then given its first radio play on Radio One with Pete Tong, this song has seen a measured rise to prominence and is sure to be one of the first huge singles of 2012. The song has the same type of incredibly smooth and uplifting synth chords with an outstanding melody that you cannot help but feel amazing when you listen to this song. Dirty South and Thomas Gold are both woefully underrated, so hopefully this will help them garner the attention they deserve in 2012.

Posted by Middy on December 22, 2011
Such a refreshing surprise with these guys. Submissions is usually a morass of garbage (I mean really guys), it was so refreshing to here these two French DJs with some quality, uplifting progressive house. They have played big clubs all over the world including playing Miami Music Week, the biggest week in EDM. They use melodic synths, piano melodies, studders and cuts with a great control of the vocals in the songs as well as a good builds leading into euphoric, synth, piano laden drops with a strong steady bass throughout their songs to create that uplifting house feeling that has become so popular with some creativity that gives them a somewhat unique sound. Below are a few free tracks they have made including a great remix of the anthemic single from Dirty South and Thomas Gold “Alive” as well as a free remix they just released for Christmas and the New Year. Also I was given a full preview of their song that just released today that is a bomb and you can get on Beatport as well as their other songs and remixes. Also check them out on Soundcloud, Facebook and Twitter.

This is probably the coolest commercial I have ever seen, and it has Mord Fustang as the soundtrack. The US needs to get it going with music in commercials. This bootleg has been a staple in Alesso’s sets and is just awesome.

This bootleg combines the sublime Dirty South remix of “Invisible” and David Guetta’s “Paris”. It adds a little extra to the drop and adds a little change of pace.

I know you may be tired of hearing Seek Bromance, but this is a different take on it with a great drop with more synth. It adds more energy to this Avicii classic.

House, Preview | Nervo ft Afrojack & Steve Aoki – We’re All No One (Incl. Hook N’ Sling Remix)
Posted by Middy on September 5, 2011
I originally wanted to let Nervo have their moment to shine, but this Dirty South song is just too good not to post so it has to go in here. Also the Nervo sisters are Australian, Dirty South is Australian, fun time. This video is from Electric Zoo. This song from Nervo with help from Afrojack and Steve Aoki is absolutely nuts. It is not like the previous collaboration between Steve Aoki and Nervo on “The Way We See The World”, “We’re All No One” has more synth, piano and more beautiful vocals from the Aussie sisters. The first mix is something Nervo previewed a while back and provided huge anticipation for this song with their “NERVO Goes To Paris Remix”. The Hook N’ Sling remix takes this song to a level that is out of this world. It is incredible, everything is just amazing. Support Nervo and BUY the songs HERE.
