House | 95 Royale – The Neighborhood
Posted by Mach on January 13, 2013
Wow, another incredible Disco-House track from this guy, its like he is pulling rabbits out of a hat. I have been feeling Disco’s come back more than ever recently. It feels like slowly people are starting to pick up on how much fun the genre is. Fun can only lightly describe this awesome original from 95 Royal. It might be Sunday but I don’t see why anyone couldn’t have a dance party with this track today.

Dubstep, Glitch, House, Review | Teknian – Sonic EP
Posted by Mach on January 7, 2013
We’re only a week into 2013 and already Teknian has delivered the first quality EP of the year. Having only announced the EP about a few weeks ago, and seeing a tracklist containing all tracks that fans of his have been dying for, I knew this EP was going to be sick to say the least. People in the music forums have been requesting the starter track, “1984,” for some time now. I had never found a clip of it to listen to so I didn’t understand what all the hype was about. Now that I have listened to it, I can see why everyone was dying for the release of this fun 80s style Glitch-Hop track. Next, “Behemoth,” which has to be my favorite on the EP, actually has a cool story. Back when Avicii’s “Fade Into Darkness” remix competition was going on, “Behemoth” was the instrumental to Teknian’s remix. After he realized how awesome his instrumentals were, he pulled the track out of the competition and delivered a heavy bass blow to our eardrums. “Sonic” is another track I have only heard stories about. It starts out like Drum & Bass, leaving you to think it might turn into Neuro-Funk. Like a B0:55, Teknian drops the bass leaving you speechless to this Dubstep fire. The last track on the EP was a complete surprise to all those anticipating its release. Teknian has been known to troll and produce outside his usual styles, but to have a house track like this one just hanging out amongst a sea of bass seemed ridiculous. “You Make Me So” is actually one of the funkiest Deep House tracks I have laid my ears upon and is a lot of fun to listen to. The “Sonic” EP is a great success, and in my opinion, Teknian did an incredible job.
Progressive House, Trance | Middy’s Top 12 of 2012
Posted by Middy on January 5, 2013
2012 was a crazy year. ASOT 550, Sensation, E Zoo, Inox, Prydz, seeing some of the best DJs in the world two, three, four, five times. It was fun. This was not easy at all and I could go back and forth on this at any moment, but these are those tracks that you could go back to at any moment and be more than happy. They are the ones that have a place in the timeline of the year. This is very separate of what is to come in the next few days — the official best and biggest tracks of 2012.
Cover, Hip-Hop | PropaneLv – Ball (T.I. & Lil Wayne Cover)
Posted by Jess on January 1, 2013
Continuing his onslaught of covers PropaneLv has gone back to his urban side that made his No Lie cover so successful. This time bringing us his version of TI and Lil Wayne’s “Ball”. The beat alone is nuts, but I love Lv’s flow on this one, maybe more than any other cover he’s done. His improvement over the last 6 months has been fun to watch, can’t wait to see what’s next.

Since today marked the end of the Mayan calendar and some say it’s the end of the world, we might as well make some fun of it. That’s just what Mike Stud and Jon Kilmer did with this end of the world theme song that fans voted them to do via Twitter. They take shots at the Mayans as well as Westboro Baptist Church, enjoy.

Moombahton | Nicky Romero & Nervo – Like Home (Dillon Francis Remix)
Posted by Spice on December 17, 2012
In his remix of “Like Home,” Dillon Francis brings his hallmark sound to Nicky Romero and Nervo’s big collaboration. It’s more or less what you’d expect — bright, high leads and a bouncy drop — but it’s a fun and upbeat listen that will be great live. I’d love to see Dillon explore a different direction going forward, but for the time being his distinctive style has legs.
