Chill | BONDAX – GOLD
Posted by mimada on April 17, 2013
As the weather (hopefully) starts to warm up, it’s time to start building your go-to summertime poolside playlist, and this track from the British duo Bondax is the perfect place to start. This song starts off nice and easy like a Sunday morning then gradually picks up into this delicious beat that gets your body moving and some how leaves you craving for another listen every time. Luckily, their Soundcloud is rich with more of this electro-beat swag so when you hear the closing steel drums at the end of Gold and your daydream of sipping piña coladas, beach side with your toes in the sand, comes to abrupt end, you’ll know where to go.
Progressive House | Project 46 – No One (feat. Matthew Steeper)

I don’t need to describe the track to you, it’s by Project 46. That automatically makes it progressive gold.
Trance | Suncatcher – Simplicity
Posted by Spice on February 11, 2013
Who’s afraid of 138? Trance may have taken a turn for the house-ish in recent years, but take a gander at Suncatcher’s insane soundscapes in “Simplicity” and tell me you’re not a convert to the genre’s faster and more musically complex roots. This track is warm and stirring without feeling cliched; thanks to lush synths and a driving theme, it’s pure uplifting gold. With releases like this, it’s easy to see why Suncatcher has already seen heavy support from titans like Armin van Buuren, Aly & Fila, Above & Beyond and Roger Shah — it’s clear that the young Romanian producer is one to keep an eye on in 2013.

Progressive House | Starkillers, Dmitry KO & Amba Shepherd – Let The Love
Posted by Middy on January 28, 2013
Amba Shepherd has to be the hottest female vocalist in dance music right now. Every song her vocals touch is gold and “Let The Love” is no different. You combine her heavenly vocals with this sublime melody from Starkillers and Dmitry KO, who are known for making big room hits and you have magic. Let the blissful melodies of this track wash over you and start the countdown to the Miami & WMC.

Hip-Hop, Review | Grubeats’ Top 12 of ’12
Posted by Grubeats on January 14, 2013
Grubeats; fashionably tardy as always. I can’t promise I’ve saved the best for last, but hopefully this eclectic mix of tracks tickle’s at least party of your fancy. I’d enjoy hearing from you in the comments section if you have opinions on any of these songs!
12.) Skizzy Mars – Sirens
This young star didn’t sound my radar until late spring of ’12. I had heard the name and few scattered verses, but overlooked the true talent Skizzy Mars was bringing to the table until I first heard “Sirens”. With sounds similar to a young Cudi, Skizzy himself only recently graduated high school and has only begun to lie the brick and mortar for long, prosperous career.
11.) Skrillex & Damian Marley – Make It Bun Dem
As you probably know, I’m not a die heard EDM head like many writers and followers of this site. No kandi for this kid. I do however, enjoy just about anything Skrillex lays his hands on. Couple the addictive production with Damian Marley’s rasta raps and you have pure gold. If and when hip-hop and EDM cross paths, this is the type of execution I expect. [Watch video HERE]

Electro, Preview | The Rolling Stones – Doom And Gloom (Benny Benassi Remix)
Posted by Mach on December 3, 2012
I love The Rolling Stones, and considering Benny Benassi’s recent track record, I was extremely nervous clicking play. Benny clearly is trying to match his style with the changes that most EDM has made over the past few years. I can happily say that I think he found his sweet spot in his future in Electronic music. This remix is gold. Benny matched the instrumentals flawlessly to Mick Jagger’s voice and even gave the remix a little bit of that Rock and Dance vibe that The Rolling Stones were famous for. The remix releases on December 9th through Universal Music, think of it like an early Christmas gift.
Chill, Dubstep | We Sink – Cat o’ Nine Tails (Andrea Remix)
Posted by Mach on November 4, 2012
Andrea just dropped a remix days ago, this guy is on a serious roll right now. Everything he releases is pure gold right now. This new remix is chill and laid back like the rest, but also provides that feeling of candles…and a naked chick/dude on your bed, whatever you’re into. Congrats on the 2000 likes Andrea.
