Electro-House | Thomas Newson – Pallaroid
Posted by Middy on November 23, 2013
Consider this a reminder for your Saturday night. Thomas Newson is going to be one of the next big things in dance music with his track “Flute” rocking clubs and the charts and now “Pollaroid”. The internet is buzzing after Hardwell revealed that he ghost produced a top 10 track, though it wasn’t totally clear at what point it was in the top 10, and people were speculating it was this one. My money is on Partysquad & Mitchell Niemeyer “#Pantsdown”, which was in the top 10 very recently, Hardwell’s name was attached to it and the guys have been rumored to use ghost producers.

Electro-House, Exclusive, Preview | Sgt Slick – POW! (FTampa Remix) [FNT Premiere]
Posted by Middy on November 16, 2013
Felipe Tampa, better known as, FTampa has become a regular on Australian label Vicious Recordings, with his track “Kick it Hard” becoming a late summer favorite by many big name festival DJs, his recent remix of “Remember To Breath” still getting heavy airplay here and “Hero” receiving support from Hardwell, among others. Now he returns to a task familiar to the Brazilian, remixing, setting his sights on fellow label member Sgt Slick’s upcoming single “POW!”. FTampa builds on the character of the original, while adding his own energetic blend of driving saws and punchy kicks. We have the exclusive first preview for you here before it is released on Monday, so stream is in full now and preview the original in full exclusively as well.
Progressive House | Hardwell ft. Matthew Koma – Dare You
Posted by Middy on November 13, 2013
The newly crowned most popular DJ in the world, Hardwell gives us his first single since “Never Say Goodbye” back in May. The track was first released on Shazam last week, giving people a taste of the track (as if they can’t do that with rips on youtube), but everyone really wanted the full version out today. “Dare You” is one of poppier tracks that we have seen from Hardwell, but refreshingly leaves behind the minimal festival style that has become the norm for his label for a more uplifting, melodic take.

Progressive House | Robin S – Show Me Love (Filtercrush 2013 Remix)
Posted by Middy on October 11, 2013
Yes technically the title of the track is the bootleg of “Be” and “Show Me Love” by Hardwell, but the men of the hour here are NYC duo Filtercrush. This may not be for everyone, especially for those who are in love with the iconic piano of the original, but the NYC duo keep the melody, but add their own percussive element to update for the sound of 2013. The track is free, so don’t hesitate to grab it. If you are in NYC tomorrow, put on your swanky suit and dancing shoes, and come to see Filtercrush at Lavo.

Electro-House | Hardwell & MAKJ – Countdown
Posted by Middy on October 8, 2013
Hardwell has dominated 2013. It would be an upset if he did not win the DJ Mag popularity contest this year with his fanboys coming out in such force supporting him. His track with MAKJ “Countdown” probably should have been released for the North American festival season, since its minimal drops were perfect for the main stages that he seemed to live on, but alas the track that made its debut at UMF is here. Get ready for this to be quite popular this winter as this style of track seems to show no signs of slowing down.

Progressive House | Dave Winnel & Chris Arnott – Remember To Breathe (Original + FTampa Remix)
Posted by Middy on September 18, 2013
The names Avicii, Dirty South, Vandalism, Kryder and Angger Dimas probably all mean something to you. They are all artists who Vicious Recordings helped discover and released their tracks well before they hit it big. Names like D.O.D, Dave Winnel and FTampa may not be as big now, but they are guys on the current Vicious roster who are set to do the same. Dave Winnel’s “Achtung” got a ridiculous amount of DJ support from the likes of Axwell, Alesso, Arty, Sebastian Ingrosso, Porter Robinson, Tiesto, Tommy Trash and, well you get it. FTampa’s “Kick It Hard” became a late season favorite, notably championed by Hardwell and then powered its way into many other sets.
On “Remember To Breathe”, Dave Winnel goes for a more melodic, big room approach than his past few works, calling upon Chris Arnott to lay down some superb vocals. FTampa takes the song to another level, working with the original melody and adding his own complex, melodic key play to the track, accentuated by Mr. Arnott’s vocals. Also included is a Dave Winnel remix he did last month.

Progressive House | Introducing: Lush & Simon
Posted by Middy on September 7, 2013
Looking for the next bandwagon to hop on? Well here it is. Italian duo, Alessandro Miselli & Simone Pioltelli or Lush & Simon are set to become the next big-room stars. I compare what I see happening to them in the next year, to what just happened to Vicetone, it is coming. Their remixes are both melodic and powerful, bringing out the best of the originals, while putting their own big-room touch on the tracks.
They have already seen support from the likes of Tiesto, Nicky Romero, Hardwell, Bingo Players, Thomas Gold, Deniz Koyu and more. These two are only getting started and before you know it, your favorite DJs will be playing their tracks out and they may be playing at your favorite venue. They have an upcoming track “City Of Lights” that has already been played on Tiesto, Hardwell and Nicky Romero’s radio shows. You can preview that track below along with 2 of their best remixes. More tracks after the jump.
