House | Michael Calfan Unveils His Summer Anthem “Mercy”
Posted by Tay on June 24, 2015
We’ve come a long way since the days of listening to disco, house, and techno in illegal warehouse parties, but the soul and emotion of dance music has never changed. As dance music has grown bigger and bigger, producers have looked outside of traditional genre boundaries, bringing together different elements of various genres to create more innovative, niche sounds. Michael Calfan has been exploring deeper sonic territories of house lately, combining deep house with elements of big room to create what he dubs “soul house.” His latest track, “Mercy,” is soul house at its finest, as Calfan layers a piano-driven melody with an old-school vocal sample and blaring horn arrangements that gives the track a sunny personality.
Electro-House | Andrei Stephen Debuts On Mau5trap With “Some Chords” Remix
Posted by Tay on June 24, 2015
Remix competitions have always been a fun way to push producers to throw their own unique spin on a track, and help unearth hidden talent, and deadmau5 and Beatport did just that. The outspoken, mau5trap head honcho and Beatport teamed up to host a remix competition for Dillon Francis’ electro-influenced moombah remix of “Some Chords,” and Andrei Stephen delivered a gem. The Toronto-native was able to separate himself from the other entrants with his unique remix that could only be described as fusion between electro and future house. Stephen keeps the iconic chord progressions of the original, while weaving together big, booming bass lines with glitchy synth stabs and a heavy-hitting electro backbone to deliver a stunning product.

House | Bender and Paige Give Lloyd and Lil Wayne’s “Girls Around The World” A Summer-Ready Makeover
Posted by Tay on June 10, 2015
While we may be a few decades (or centuries) away from actually being able to time travel, we have the next best option to take you a few years into the past, thanks to two of New York’s fastest-rising producers, Keith Bender and Paige. Since Bender emerged with his remix of Route 94’s hit, “My Love,” the talented artist has left his mark with his sun-soaked style of future house, and today, he’s taken on Lloyd’s jam, “Girls Around The World” featuring Lil Wayne. Bender and Paige channel the heavy 2008 R&B vibes of Lloyd’s original, but bring it back to the future with a modern-day house revival of the hit, as the two wunderkinds deliver a big, whomping bass line and subtle percussion accents that perfectly complements Lloyd’s croons and Wayne’s verse.

Remix after remix has been phenomenal, and he’s making a wave for himself in the tropical house scene – never straying from his signature sounds. Lay back and grab this work of art – oh and don’t forget to give him some Hype Machine <3 if you enjoy!
Progressive House | What big artist is behind the side project “Cignature” ?

Who is X_______? We’ve seen a lot of people guessing that it’s Audien, but that wouldn’t make much sense as it’s basically the same progressive house style Audien produces. Not to be punny here, but this remix has a very feel good vibe and is just ‘fun’ to listen to. What we do know, is that this is the only remix on the internet with the official studio acapella and this remix is too good to be any other artist’s first release…any guesses?
