House | John de Sohn Ft. Andreas Moe – Long Time (The Two Friends Remix)
Posted by Mach on August 14, 2012
The Two Friends, Matt and Eli thought this was an amazing, underrated orignal from John de Sohn. I took a chance in listening to the original and I can see why they wanted to remix this so badly. The vocals set a truly incredible mood not just by the content but the emotion expressed by tone. A remix of the track would have to properly reflect that again, and The Two Friends did just that. The two stated that they did not just want to do a normal House remix and branched out by incorporating an acoustic guitar with a less than usual arrangement. The final outcome is one of the best House remixes you will hear this Summer.
House | Lift Off #001
Posted by Middy on June 29, 2012
There are a lot of great house tracks that slip between the cracks during the weeks as we try and post the best stuff that comes out. Lift Off is a new segment that will help to amend those crevasses and give us a chance to post a lot more submissions that showcase more upcoming talent from here in the US and around the world. The name “Lift Off” is that euphoric feeling you get at a festival having the greatest time of your life; it is the peak of celebration. In this there will be previews from time to time, songs on Beatport, lots of free tracks and maybe support for a Beatport contest if it is really good. This is not necessarily a weekly thing, it all depends on the rate at which the music collects. Enough talk, as the legend Pete Tong says “Welcome to the weekend”.
Tommy Trash starts us off with his club mix of his collaboration with Moguai on his latest album Mpire that takes the great original track with a Daft Punk flare and gives the drop a much needed boost to it. Listen above and get it on Beatport or iTunes.
John de Sohn provides a superb progressive house remix utilizing Max C’s signature vocals dextrously. With a chopped uplifting melody and a rising synth and quick moving piano melody in the interlude you will want to hit play. Get it on Beatport.
Under appreciated Adrien Mezsi teams with Italian duo Rayven & Valexx to give us “Domynos”, another uplifting progressive track (you see the theme developing here). A melodic, clap driven build crescendos into a euphoric synth driven drop with a growling underlayer and thumping bass. Get it on Beatport.
Moguai is getting some heavy work in this first edition of Lift Off with the Tommy Trash remix of “In N Out” and now his remix of Wally Lopez – Keep Running The Melody. He brings in a big room melody in the build and interludes with a simple yet effective percussive drop ready to make clubs and festivals ignite. Get it on Beatport.
Continuing his great 2012, Feenixpawl contributes a lively drop to his take on the infinitely remixed “Lights” by Ellie Goulding. More free tracks after the jump.
