DJ-Set, Electro-House, Progressive House | Alesso Essential Mix
Posted by Middy on March 24, 2012
Lost in all of the WMC and UMF madness was the fact that Alesso was featured on BBC Radio One’s legendary Essential Mix show. Alesso really makes the most of these 2 hours flawlessly transitioning from one song to the next making the 2 hours fly by. You will hear the best of from the past couple months including “Trio“, “In My Mind” and “Rise“, as well as the best songs he has put out in his career. He puts together some really good bootlegs, combining the old and the new. He plays a whole host of unreleased tracks from himself and others including Avicii – Silhouettes (could it be a sign of a release at some point this year?) and the electro bomb “Boss” from Jonas Torn on Le7els. He plays his collaboration with Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso “Eclipse (Why Am I Doing This)“, the radio world premier of the vocal mix of his upcoming single “Years”, Alesso’s remix of Keane – Silence By the Night that he has been raving about and a brand new ID from Alesso that is really something special (as seen above, ignore the “ID3” title, it is just an ID). This Essential Mix rivals Arty’s for early contenders as Essential Mixes of the year, so hit play and let Alesso take on a two hour EDM journey. Tracklist after the jump.

This is fire. 58 minutes and 53 seconds of fire. Lots of classics in here along with Michael’s usual bag of killer mashups and edits and even a highly anticipated ID track! From holding a top 20 progressive spot on Beatport for his track “Rise” to playing alongside the likes of Norman Dooray and LA Riots in Miami tonight at Dirty South’s “Phazing Nights” at Wall, the sky is the limit for this sub-20 year old. Peep the mix! Tracklist after the jump
DJ-Set, Progressive House | Fedde le Grand, Deniz Koyu & Johan Wedel – Turn it
Posted by Middy on March 19, 2012
This is one of those collaborations that immediately grabs your attention and it does not disappoint. When you are listening to a Fedde Le Grand song you know you are getting a track with some of best production in the industry and with rising stars Deniz Koyu & Johan Wedel adding their influences to the track, it is going to be big. This song is meant to be played live with quick moving percussive elements, emotive progressive synths and a massive drop that will send any crowd into a frenzy. The video shows them collaborating on the track, the first play of the track and the crowd reaction, and for you Djs you see Fedde Le Grand’s amazing looking studio. Also after the jump are Sander van Doorn and Mark Knight’s sets from Sensation Belgium, which for those who went was an unreal experience and with it coming to America in October, this iconic event will only grow its legendary status. The sets from Afrojack & Dada Life were not recorded.

Electro-House | Nicky Romero – Generation 303 (Original Mix)
Posted by Middy on February 6, 2012
Never forget Acid House. A quote that is said time and time again about this genre that always seems to come up in studio productions from artists you would never expect and is always a weapon in a live set. With his multiple collaborations with David Guetta being set for release soon and his ID with Avicii making waves around the web without even having a name, the young Dutchman is ready to increase his already impressive studio output to epic proportions. Generation 303 is an acid fueled track with an impressive bass line with a ton of energy that is meant to be played in the live venue. Expect to hear this quite a bit out from other Djs. Get it on BEATPORT.

Arty first premiered this ID above at Pier 94 a few weeks ago, and sounds extraordinary, a truly monumental record still waiting on a release date. So below, to start your weekend off right I scoured the net for the best and amounted to nothing less than a buffet of progressive gems. All of these heaters are placed in no particular order and each deserves adequate attention. I’m sure a few are destined for immediate download.
Names is an exciting record that builds into a lively drop, get it on iTunes.

Kawaii is an immersion of happiness waiting for you to press play, get it on Beatport.

Tobi D’Eramo sounds like he’s ramping up to become something special in EDM. I predict he’s on the verge of monstrous records in the near future, let this be a reminder of his talented ear and what’s next to come.

At first I considered this track a bit mild with a mediocre synth, and later felt the underlying piano gave it that extra dimension needed so, considered it worth my ears.

Alex Engström elaborates on the soulful side of progressive with his take on Revita, rarely do you get a chilling effect from progressive records. Alex Engström manages to capitalize on that, making it my favorite track of the bunch, get it!

DJ-Set, Events | Swedish House Mafia @ MSG 12/16/11
Posted by Middy on December 17, 2011
Last night was history, and millions of people around the world with 20,000 in attendance were able to witness Swedish House Mafia becoming the first electronic act to ever headline the historic Madison Square Garden and brought that place to another universe. There are simply no words to describe what happened at Madison Square Garden last night it was that good. Their stage presence was off the charts, the visuals and effects were unreal with fireworks (whaaaaat inside MSG!?!?!) and the song choice and mixing was outrageous. It was the true live experience with all 20,000 people in the crowd belting out the lyrics and melodies to all the songs with Tinie Tempah AND John Martin showing up to do vocals for “Miami to Ibiza” and “Save the World”. The only thing missing was Pharrel doing the vocal version of “One” and the roof may have come down. They played a bunch of upcoming stuff on Size and Axtone and possibly a new song of theirs at the very beginning that was incredible. Listening to this set does not do the night justice, only being there would be true justice to what happened last night, but enjoy this set because it was f*cking incredible. Tracklist after the jump.
UPDATED with a working stream and full video of show.
