Trance | Estiva – Stratos
Posted by Middy on September 21, 2013
Generally, established producers don’t just drop tracks for free out of the blue. They wait for some social media milestone or a holiday to say thanks to the fans. With “Stratos”, Dutch trance producer, Estiva didn’t feel the need to wait for some moment to celebrate, but rather decided to gift his fans now with a free track. The quality is just as high as any of his other tracks, and with “Dinodrums” still rocking sets and the Beatport charts, it is great to see this from Estiva.

Progressive House | Kaskade – Atmosphere (Stereoshock Remix)
Posted by Mel on September 15, 2013
A young Australian boy once kissed me on the cheek in the second grade and I just took it. I didn’t know how to react. That moment was a new experience for me and so is every time I listen to a new track from Stereoshock. He is without a doubt one of the most creative and unique producers out there right now. For his latest project he took to remixing Kaskade’s “Atmosphere”, a song that many people adore but not me (“Eyes” is still easily his best track of the last few years). His remix starts off incredibly strong (like my distaste for guys who wear Toms) with one of the best intros I’ve heard in a while. Then the main piano hits and is complimented with the many layers of sounds and effects that is unique to him. The lead melody during the drop is perhaps his best yet. This is another solid outing from him and yet again he leaves me excited for his next track.

Dubstep | Midnight Conspiracy – Nebula
Posted by Mach on September 10, 2013
Heavy new tune from Midnight Conspiracy today for hitting 50k fans on Facebook. The title, “Nebula”, is well suited, though I imagine it to be a much more violent place then led onto. The track is mostly Dubstep, but a bit of Moombahton and Electro creeps in on the drop to keep things a little mixed up. I am always up for heavy, violent sounding bass. Midnight Conspiracy hit it right with this.

Electro-House | Blasterjaxx – Fifteen (Hardwell Edit)
Posted by Middy on September 9, 2013
I don’t usually like a lot of these festival-drop type of songs, but this one I have been waiting on for quite some time. Blasterjaxx have become one of the premier hit-makers in this market with tracks like “Miami”, “Faith”, “Puzzle” and now “Fifteen”. The track seems to sound the same, besides the vocals in the drop being changed from “Everybody Fucking Jump” to “Drop fifteen in the EDM scene”. Expect to hear this quite often this fall, if you haven’t been already, as dance music starts to move indoors.

Electro-House | Maddix – Splash
Posted by Middy on September 8, 2013
Maddix has gotten on the radar of plenty ever since his powerful single “Touching The Sky“. He follows up with another free original, “Splash”, which shows his continued progression as a producer. Maddix goes for a heavier production this time, with a melodic build and a drop of growling synths and succession heavy, reverbed kicks. Look for more from the Dutchman in the future as he looks to become yet another success story from the small dance music powerhouse.

Progressive House | Project 46 ft. Matthew Steeper – No One (Marcus Santoro Bootleg)
Posted by Mel on September 2, 2013
Just in time for the release of his second single on Neon Records, Marcus Santoro is back with another great bootleg that he is giving away for free. His previous bootleg of their early hit “Feel The Fire” was the first work I heard of his so it was of no surprise when I saw he remixed another track of theirs. In his typical fashion, he kept a portion of the original intact by retaining some of the original chords, but also added his own touch of large sounds and a nice bass during the drop to make it uniquely his.
Here’s a preview of his new single released today in collaboration with Apocalypto. Not really my thing, but maybe you’ll find a liking to it.

Electro, Progressive House | Avicii – Wake Me Up (EDX Edit)
Posted by VMan on September 1, 2013
About 17 days ago, EDX released a 1:40 long preview of his progressive house remix of Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” and he needs to release the full length track! Not sure when that will be, but the Swiss producer/DJ brought Avicii’s masterpiece to another level, and though we get a taste of the build and drop towards the end, it’s not enough! I’m usually not a big fan of previews, and don’t get around to posting them, but I had to make an exception with this one. This track is a must listen, because it’s that good, and help EDX out, by voting him in the DJ Mag’s Top 100 by clicking here.
