Electro-House | Tiësto – Chasing Summers (R3hab & Quintino Remix)
Posted by Middy on March 5, 2013
Hot on the heals of Dyro’s remix of “Make Some Noise” and Sidney Samson’s collab with Martin Garrixx “Torrent“, Tiesto’s Musical Freedom unleashes another remix of the label bosses singles released on Club Life Volume 2. This remix hits hard right out of the gate, tossing aside the original brooding intro from Tiesto and adds their own heavier build that leads into a hard hitting, fast firing percussive drop, making it a more suitable remix for the festival stage. They then return to the melody crafted by Tiesto in the interlude and bring back that drop one last time.

Freestyle, Hip-Hop, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday – Skyfall
Posted by J_Salzer on February 27, 2013
Another Wednesday morning, another Timeflies Tuesday. No knock to the boys, they’ve been hella busy these last couple of months. But of course, they still have time to drop an awesome video every Tuesday. When I saw the first Timeflies Tuesday two summers ago, I immediately knew that it would quickly become a YouTube staple. This weeks video is one of the classics of Cal freestyling. Rez whips up a quick Skyfall beat, and puts a little pitch bend on Adele’s beautiful James Bond theme. I will never not be impressed by Cal’s ability to think on his feet and come up with sick rhymes while pulling them out of some sort of container. When I first saw the “Carry on my Wayward Son” video, I was in awe. Nothing has changed.
Dubstep, Featured | The XX – Night Time (Kicks N Licks Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 26, 2013
Holy cat’s pajamas…. this remix is a mind blow. On my first listen still and the flood of emotion from the drop is still flowing through me. Kicks N Licks just made the list of artists to watch out for. This remix is just too amazing for words right now.

Preview, Trance | Estiva & Cardinal feat. Arielle Maren – Wait Forever (Daniel Kandi’s Bangin’ Remix)
Posted by Spice on February 26, 2013
In the immortal words of Carl Cox: Oh yes oh yes! This track is massive, end of story, and while I don’t think anyone really gets hyped by previews these days sometimes something comes along that’s so worthy that you’ve just got to post the YouTube video and grin and bear it. Closest analogue to this song? The inimitable “Satellite” by OceanLab. Similar lyrics, similar chord progression after the chorus, similar overall vibe. That’s not to accuse Mr. Kandi of ripping off the boys of Above & Beyond, however; this remix is excellent in its own right, thanks to an amazing instrumental and otherworldly vocals. Look for this to drop on Beatport on March 18th via Enhanced Recordings — and if you can’t get enough Daniel Kandi, check out his recent remix of “Jewel” by Solarstone and Claire Stagg.
Chill, Dubstep, Electronic | Crywolf & Ianborg – Oceans
Posted by Mel on February 25, 2013
Crywolf and Ianborg combine forces for their latest release. They lay soft vocals over a chilled electronic beat leading into an intricate chillstep drop. Definitely worth a listen.

Progressive House | GTA, Henrix & Digital LAB – Hit It!
Posted by Middy on February 25, 2013
This track needs very little introduction. Already supported by just about every big name Dj in the business, “Hit It” has been one of the most sought after tracks heading into 2013 ever since its public unveiling at Size in the Park by Steve Angello. “Hit It” combines the talents of all 4 of these guys — using the bouncy percussion Henrix has quickly become known for with haunting builds and big room elements in the drop fashioned by fellow Miami natives GTA & Digital Lab. This song has already been huge up to this point, but with WMC just around the corner, its ascent may have only just begun.

Dubstep, Preview | Alvin Risk – SKYCLAD
Posted by Mach on February 25, 2013
It is about time Alvin Risk had a good release. I am so sick of hearing sick new tracks in his live sets and then when he makes a release it’s one of the worst things I have ever heard. Sadly the official preview leaves out the most important part of the track that helps a person decide if they like it or not, the drop. Don’t be sad for long because I happened to find a little clip ripped from a mix that plays out what we want to hear. It is because of this that I have finally come to the conclusion that Alvin Risk still has it, he just needs to start making more releases to prove it. “Skyclad” releases March 5th on OWSLA.
