Electro-House | GTA – The Crowd
Posted by Middy on October 10, 2013
GTA return to Calvin Harris’ label Fly Eye Records with a band new single “The Crowd”. They have always been ones to stand out, and we see that again with this track. Much like their “f*ck genres” approach, this track embraces moves from electro to trap and everything in between. I wonder how many people have stumbled across GTA’s music after the launch of GTA 5? Probably quite a few.

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.
Electro-House | Jacob Plant – Shakedown
Posted by Middy on January 28, 2013
Uk producer Jacob Plant brings his brand of heavy electro & dubstep to Calvin Harris led Fly Eye Records. Departing from the last release on Fly Eye from Thomas Gold “Miao“, “Shakedown” serves as an outstanding jump off track to 2013 for both the label and the artist. With quick progressing builds, gritty drops and well placed electro growls, this phenomenal, high powered track is sure to be a quick burst of energy in any set it is played in.
Progressive House | Thomas Gold – MIAO
Posted by Middy on December 26, 2012
Thomas Gold finishes off a year that has seen his his rise among the ranks at Axtone, mixing its 2012 compilation, his highly successful essential mix debut, a flurry of remixes and singles, and now his debut on Calvin Harris’ imprint, Fly Eye Records, “MIAO”. Thomas Gold gets right into the club ready drop of pulsing pitched chords and quick alternating snare and evolves the track with a slow melodic interlude that beckons in that same pulsing drop from before. He is about to embark on his winter North American tour, so be sure to check him out at a city near you.

Moombahton | Dillon Francis – Bootleg Fireworks
Posted by Middy on October 30, 2012
Dillon Francis follows up his collaborative effort with Calvin Harris on his new album 18 Months with a single release on Calvin Harris’ label Fly Eye Records. The track revels in the bouncy moombahton that has helped catapult Dillon Francis to where he his is in his career, while adding chopped soulful vocals and fast paced synth chords. Dillon continues to show his versatility as a producer and when trap seems to be taking the place of moombahton, it is nice to see one of its champions returning to it.
