Progressive House | Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike – Wakanda
Posted by Middy on February 4, 2013
On this packed music Monday comes a surprise from Axtone who have decided to release their single from Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike “Wakanda” a week early and no one is complaining. The gregarious Belgian Djs are coming off of a banner year and after the release of “Madness” last week they look to top 2012 with an even better 2013. As a reference to a fictitious African country in the Marvel comic “Black Panther”, “Wakanada” mixes tribal influences with their high energy sound found in the heart pounding four on the floor bass line, heavy kick and driving synths. Expect to hear this early and often as a contender for one of the tracks of WMC, especially after already being championed by the likes of SHM & Thomas Gold.

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.
Electro | La’Reda – Legends & Legacies & Feed The Dada (La’Reda REMIX)
Posted by Sev on November 25, 2012
Electro duo La’Reda have started a monster give away for the next nine weeks, releasing all the tracks that were due for their new EP ‘Legends & Legacies’. Starting off week one we have another spectacular club banger entitled Legends & Legacies . These guys always stay true to their epic melodies and heavy electro styled drops. Not only did they give away this track, but also a remix they did of Dada Life’s Feed The Dada ,which is just as high energy as their original release. Both of these tracks are a must download.
Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Trap | Dirtyphonics – DIRTY
Posted by Sev on November 3, 2012
Dirtyphonics latest single Dirty released last week with some exciting remixes alongside the original from 12th planet, Metrik, Darth & Vader, and Nicolas Malinowsky . The original is already a high energy track with the monstrous Dirtyphonics style, bass filled drop, but the remixes provide some different perspectives to the heavy original. 12th planet provides a trap style remix that he has been incorporating within his tracks as of late with Nicolas Malinowsky contributing some trap as well. Metrik brings his usual fast paced DnB style to turn this track up and increase the energy even more. Darth & Vader’s remix portrays their heavy Electro-House style and a more uplifting feel to the track with their own melodies incorporated. Grab this track along with the remixes off of Beatport HERE.
Electro-House | Feed Me – Little Cat Steps
Posted by Spice on August 21, 2012
It’s been a minute since we’ve gotten new material from Feed Me, so I was pleased to learn that he followed up his recent minimix for Radio One’s Annie Nightingale with an official release. “Little Cat Steps” showcases Feed Me’s genre-shattering proclivities as a producer — under his previous moniker, Spor, he perfected the craft of frenzied, adrenaline pumping DnB, and while he has since expanded his focus his old influences continue to shine through. This fast-paced track combines elements of electro house and dubstep and keeps things fresh and high energy as it transitions from drop to drop. Get “Little Cat Steps” on iTunes (below) or Beatport.
Progressive House | Gavin Degraw – Not Over You (Leventina Club Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 13, 2012
If you have been with us since last fall you would know about the Swiss duo Leventina and their high energy house tracks. This song combines what we have scene from them over the past year with a big room progressive sound with electro chops and even dubstep interludes. This song uses the recognizable vocals from Gavin Degraw that will have a room belting out “Not Over You” with a pounding bass line, massive, driving high energy synth chords, electro chops and vocal bits. The build is well constructed with the vocal verses, a moving piano melody and varying bass line. They dropped this as a preview a while back and blew my mind then and now as a free download I give my humble thanks for this incredible track. Also check out a preview for a remix of theirs coming up this month for the 8th Note on the 21st.
