DJ-Set, House | Eric Prydz Essential Mix 2/1/13
Posted by Middy on February 2, 2013
Eric Prydz returned to BBC Radio One’s legendary essential mix last night and the result was extraordinary. A two hour mind bending journey of unreleased tracks from the melodic master and his protégés, ranging from bright uplifting tracks like “Everyday” and “Let Me Feel” to the darker Cirez D cut. A few other individuals were able to sneak into the mix, but this was a showcase of the Pryda’s production prowess and what should be on the horizon for the next year or two we hope. Sit back, turn off the lights and get ready to be taken on an epic 2 hour journey by Eric Prydz. Pay attention to “ID 1”, because that one will be stuck with you for a while.

Albums, Contests, Featured, Review | Sensation Innerspace New York 2012 Mixed by Fedde Le Grand
Posted by Middy on November 8, 2012
Fedde Le Grand fresh off of his performance at the first Sensation on US soil (there will be more), has put together the mix compilation for the event to help you relive those timeless memories of the best all night concert in the world. It is a two part mix CD that takes you on a journey of sound and style, much like the journey you experience at Sensation. The first CD leans more to the electro / progressive realm, utilizing lesser known tracks to keep the idea that the experience of the Sensation comes first and the DJ is secondary, including several from Fedde himself, Chris Lake & Lazy Rich “Stand Alone”, “Toxic Rush”, “Tombo” and others. The second CD gives the official ID&T package with a more clubby, techy sound that you would have heard at the night itself. Seemless transitions from one track to the next makes the 75 minutes on each CD fly by very quickly. After the jump are the tracklists and the sets from the both nights with their respective tracklists.
We are giving away two physical copies of the CD that cannot be bought in the US, so this is an opportunity that you do not want to pass up on. This is only open to residents of the United States unfortunately, but if you live here, you will want to get this CD you can’t are not able to purchase.

The young Miami rhymes-man delivers an introspective visual treatment for “Chase To Nowhere”, which was featured on his most recent mixtape, Fear Not Failure. Recognizing at times his trip may be disgruntling and appear as a chase to nowhere, these are the cards he was dealt and no matter what adversity he faces, music is his destiny. QuESt has once again proves his consistency with another strong representation of his powerful lyrical ability after delivering another promising video for “I Go, You Go” less than one month ago.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | XV – Pop Culture (Mixtape)
Posted by J_Salzer on June 15, 2012
Best mixtape of 2012. I know that’s not the best way to start out a post, but I had to make my feelings known to everyone before I embarked on the journey of trying to illustrate my feelings on this mixtape into a somewhat concise blog post. Wow that was a long sentence. Sorry, I’m rambling. Back to the mixtape. XV’s “Pop Culture” is absolutely off the charts, his beat selections are perfect, and his lyrics are witty, well delivered, and hard hitting. He goes from emotional songs, like “The Kick,” to high energy songs like “Her Favorite Song,” without missing a beat. He has some amazing features, including BoB, Schoolboy Q, and Emilio Rojas. On the production side, he lists his favorite beat maker, The Awesome Sound, along with Xaphoon Jones to craft the canvases he paints his pictures on. It’s an incredibly well rounded and diverse mixtape, and I think it has something for everyone.
XV’s “Zero Heroes” was my favorite mixtape of 2011, so let’s hope “Pop Culture” holds it’s spot as my favorite mixtape of 2012.
Dubstep | Adventure Club feat. Krewella – Rise & Fall + Krewella Debut EP Announced
Posted by Spice on May 31, 2012
It’s safe to say that Adventure Club has crushed it this week. First they brought us “Wait”, a track which I think we can all agree is absolutely killer, but since that apparently wasn’t enough they’ve now teamed up with the talented ladies (and gentleman) of Krewella to take us on another gripping musical journey. “Rise & Fall” starts out with a slow, melodic piano riff and floaty, plaintive vocals before abruptly changing course and slamming right into a heavy, visceral drop. They build skillfully on the early tension as the track progresses, ultimately driving the synths to a positively fierce crescendo in the song’s concluding moments. No two ways about it; this is a must download. Keep an eye out for Adventure Club this summer if you’re planning on hitting the festival circuit.

Krewella EP Announcement
Krewella has also taken time today to announce the release of their debut EP, “Play Hard.” The video above actually plays a snippet of the title track. The trio has done a lot of great work in the past and I’m sure that this EP will be just as awesome as everything we’ve seen from them to date. “Play Hard” is officially set for an exclusive Beatport release on June 18th.
