Albums, Hip-Hop, Videos | Huey Mack x Mike Stud – Alive (Krewella Remix) (Prod. Judge)
Posted by LoffyG on March 12, 2013
With only two more stops remaining on his UpToNoGoodTour, Huey Mack takes a break in NY to record an all new remix of Krewella’s “Alive” with Mike Stud. They let this one go early since the video for Huey’s first single off his upcoming project, Dirty Laundry wasn’t ready yet. That video is set to drop next week so until then spin this!
Progressive House | Michael Woods – Platinum Chains
Posted by Middy on March 11, 2013
Making his return to Calvin Harris led Fly Eye Records, Michael Woods presents his first single of the year “Platinum Chains”. Michael Woods starts with fluttering key play and crescendoes into a signature big room drop you have come to expect from him in the past few years, finding a way to make good use of stutters without overdoing it. The UK producer has quietly been making tracks that have been staples of top Dj sets from several years now and “Platinum Chains” could add to that growing list.
Progressive House | Hard Rock Sofa – Rasputin
Posted by Middy on March 11, 2013
Making their return to Axwell’s Axtone Records, Russian duo Hard Rock Sofa dole out another hard hitting festival cut sure to make waves in Miami. “Rapsutin” is centered around a slow building churching low end with rapid fire percussion and an ominous interlude, leading into the percussive drop. “Rasputin” is the latest in the recent trend of hard hitting, minimal percussive tracks like “Wakanda“, “Hit It” and going back to “Epic”. It is interesting to see the direction Axtone has taken with their first two releases of the year and it will be something to watch throughout the rest of the year with Axwell striking it solo as the official SHM breakup looms in just 2 weeks.

Hip-Hop | Drake – 5AM In Toronto (prod. by Boi-1da)
Posted by W8 on March 7, 2013
Allow me to preface this post by saying, everybody is entitled to their own opinion as am I. Drake goes viral regardless of any blog so why not take this opportunity to share my thoughts. As the clock strikes 5AM here in Toronto, I don’t like this track. ”5AM In Toronto” bleeds pints of emotion, it’s got mad lyricism, and I get all that. I’m not even saying that I have something opposed to what we have here. I just don’t feel like I know what’s good anymore, and to be perfectly honest; I don’t think you do either. Everyone is starving for nutriance, and these organic vocal dosages give us life. Staring through the mirror into an artist’s life makes us feel like we have a friend, and because of this I’m usually sufficing thoughts like ‘Who is this guy talking to‘. We like hearing voices, and if that sounds crazy, well… yes it is. Anyways, I think this is what we’ve all been waiting for so allow me to contradict myself, my name is W8!
Late last night Young Money’s own Drake followed up his earlier smash hit ”Started From The Bottom” with more heat entitled ”5AM In Toronto”. The way Drake manages to feature on his own track is remarkable. His third studio album is presumably set to drop this summer.

Dubstep | DETZKY – I LIKE CEREAL
Posted by Mach on March 5, 2013
I was really excited to see that Detzky gave this track away. The bass-line is sweet, but what really gets me is all the Cartoon Network samples he used. The second drop involves a long sample of “Him,” the uber villain from the Powerpuff Girls, and has a more abstract take on the first drop. All around, this is a really fun track to listen to. Brings me back to the days of “Dexter’s Lab,” “Samurai Jack,” and all those other Cartoon Network greats we were addicted to as kids.

Progressive House | Paris Blohm – Fire In The Sun (Feat Ilsey Juber)
Posted by Mel on March 5, 2013
It was only last week when Paris Blohm released “You Were Here” and he has already dropped another track. He has dusted off an old production and decided to give it away in celebration of hitting 10k likes on Facebook. Unlike his previous release, “Fire In The Sun” goes in a darker direction. The vocals are carried by a heavy pad and a staggered piano before climaxing into huge drop packed with punchy synths. This track is big.
