Albums, Trance | Breakfast – The Deep End EP Review
Posted by Middy on December 21, 2011
Casey Keyworth or “Breakfast” is an American Trance DJ from the Annapolis Maryland, DC area, who is starting to make waves in the trance industry. His tracks have been supported by all the big names, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Above & Beyond and others and has been known as a master remixer as you guys saw with his “From The Earth” remix. He just released his first artist album and it is an excellent album with some of his well-known tracks that have been played for crowds around the world such as “Air Guitar” and “Horizon” as well as new tracks that are bound to be hits.
The CD varies in sound with each song having a different feel. They are all instrumental tracks which is slightly disappointing, but it emphasizes the production quality of the instrumental. These tracks are not the classic 90s trance nor are they new trance 2.0 style but more of a mix and something different that is interesting. I picked out a few of my favorites for you guys to listen to. Get the album on Beatport HERE. He also just put out a free 30 minute 5 song E.P that is absolutely outstanding. It seamlessly goes between the songs and shows the variety of styles Keyworth uses. The extended mixes will be available on Christmas Day. Check Breakfast out on Facebook, Twitter, and his website.

Electro, House | Moby – After (Tommy Trash & Tim Mason Remixes)
Posted by Middy on October 17, 2011
Coming off of the sensational trance remix from Ferry Corsten, the larger official remix package for this Moby classic has come out with two sublime remixes by two of the best up and comers in EDM, Tommy Trash and Tim Mason. Tommy Trash puts his signature electro spin on this song, though he does not overwhelm it and make it too heavy. The build may be the best part of the song, though the drop is pretty nasty as well. Get both remixes on Beatport HERE.

The Tim Mason Remix is much more progessive with a more euphoric house sound. Synths slowly build with the vocals to a breakdown of euphoric synth and bass.

I have a massive post for you this week with sublime remixes from Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten, and a track from rising American, Shogun.

Ferry Corsten and Moby are two icons in EDM and Ferry brings this song to another level with the added synth work in the drops, while keeping that very relaxed feel that Moby has captured so well. Get it on Beatport HERE.

Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten, two of the biggest names in Trance and in EDM, team up to give us this massive trance track called Brute. It is a bit different from their latest collaboration “Minack” on Armin’s latest artist album, Mirage. This song is going to be on Ferry Corsten’s upcoming artist album. Buy it on Beatport HERE.
DOWNLOAD: Ferry Corsten ft. Armin Van Buuren – Brute (Original Extended Mix)
Here are two awesome remixes off of Super8 & Tabs Empire remix album from Gareth Emery and Protoculture. Gareth Emery’s remix takes a little while to build but once it does, it is amazing and the female vocals are perfect. The Protoculture remix gives the song that little extra with its slow, soothing build and great drop with quality synth and bass. Buy the songs on Beatport HERE.

DJ-Set, Events | Electric Zoo Recap & Sets
Posted by Middy on September 13, 2011
The EDM beast that broke out of its cage at Electric Zoo had a similar effect as the Bronx Cobra, which had the entire city of New York captivated. Although this event wasn’t putting any lives at risk per se, the crowds, which were hardly distinguishable from animals, could hardly be tamed. Yet that’s to be expected when the likes of Afrojack, Tiesto, Guetta, Armin, Skrillex, Alesso, Hardwell, amongst countless other powerful DJ’s are on stages fortified by walls of massive lights.
As I mentioned in my last concert review, if the large crowds and expensive ticket prices intimidate you enough to avoid these festivals, you’ll be kicking yourself in a few years when it’s no longer acceptable or as fun for you to attend. Sure, it might cost you a few hundred bucks to catch all three days, but those memories will be priceless in the end, I promise.
Will call, line speeds, and security checks are always the first sign of a properly run event. Electric Zoo earned an “A” in this department as it took roughly 15 minutes to clear everything. Since I’m not a New York native, I opted out of the affiliated transportation options and took taxis, but it did look really well organized.
Since Electric Zoo featured numerous big name acts, I’m going to break this review down into a few sections: favorite performance, crowd favorite, best up and comer, and honorable mentions.
Check out the rest of the review as well as the sets and tracklists after the jump and there are a lot of them so enjoy.
