Progressive House | Steve Angello VS. Matisse & Sadko – SLVR

Steve Angello vs Matisse & Sadko - SLVR
When I listen to this song, I try not to laugh, but I can’t help it. It is just that much better than everything else like it right now, there is just nothing comparable. It has been a long time coming for the 100th release on Size Records, and this is the fitting monumental release. Bask in its glory, and be prepared for more tracks like this from Steve in the coming months and years as he continues to shed the Swedish House Mafia label and becomes the superstar label boss he was on the path to becoming.

House | His Majesty Andre Feat. Anna Lunoe – Sunshine

Posted by on August 6, 2013

I have a lot of respect for the folks at Main Course Records. Astronomar, Bot, and Neoteric are all wickedly innovative artists in their own respect. They go on to give us Main Course Records, a label that always offers its releases for free with the option to purchase and support the artists. Today, Main Courses serves us up something special. The intro is an easy listening little bit that reels you in. The vocals of Anna Lunoe, combined with the unexpected, but perfectly fitting, drop crafted by His Majesty Andre, make for a deep track that would absolutely kill in the middle of a set. This tack comes as part of a two song release. My compliments to the chef.

With shark week in full effect, Brooklyn producer Harry Fraud’s protege Adrian Lau just dropped an ill track “X Generation.” Lau murks it over Fraud’s grungy industrial beat.  If you’re not up to date with what Fraud and his movement have been up to, they recently signed a label deal with the re birthed legendary hip hop label Priority Records, home of NWA, Dr Dre,  and Snoop Dogg. The name of the label is Surf School Records and there is talk that Adrian will be the first artist to sign. Look out for more music from this tandem very soon! Must listen and must download!

Electro-House | Hardwell & W&W – Jumper

Posted by on August 5, 2013

Hardwell & W&W - Jumper

Will the exception of “Never Say Goodbye“, we are seeing a shift in Hardwell’s taste from a more melodic sound from years past, to something more built to the mainstages he is being billed to play. It makes sense he would sign music that would work for that type of audience, since his label is the music he wants to play. He has one of the strongest and loyalest fan bases in dance music and they will go anywhere with him, even if he decides to start making generic festival-styled house.

This collaboration between Hardwell & the unstoppable Dutch duo W&W, has been in the works for a long time and been one of the most requested IDs from both Hardwell & W&W’s sets for many months. “Jumper” relies on potent grinding saws, a thumping kick and big room interludes. With the “1,2,3, JUMP!” vocal already built in, there is no need to use some other similar vocal to implore the crowd to do what they probably were going to do anyway. It is nice to remind them that it is their job to jump though.

Events, Progressive House | Vicetone – Tremble

Posted by on August 5, 2013

Vicetone - TrembleVicetone caught the attention of the internet almost immediately, and a lot of big name DJs right after, but none as strongly as Nicky Romero. They have done label releases before, such as “Stars”, but none as big as this, as they make their label debut on their new home, Protocol Recordings. The Dutch duo take a page out of label boss, Nicky Romero’s playbook with the emotive, string-led interlude, surrounded by their powerful guitar-like synths that really give the track that Vicetone flavor. Right after E Zoo, they will be touring North America with Nicky Romero on his “Nothing Toulouse” tour, which you can find the dates after the jump. Tickets are on sale here.

Wyclef’s latest business efforts include the birth of his independent record label, All Handz On Deck, which focuses on exposing emerging talent and contributing to their musical development.  Skiff is among ‘Clef’s chosen class of emerging talent, breaking ground by delivering the first single for this label entitled “Dazed and Confused”.  As expected, this one tracks back to the early 90’s when the infamous “Dazed and Confused” first graced movie screens.  Pulling inspiration from that decade of and infusing some jam band elements, “Dazed and Confused” is that care free joint (no pun intended) you’ve been waiting on.

Progressive House | Don Diablo & Matt Nash – Starlight (Could You Be Mine)

Posted by on July 26, 2013

Don Diablo & Matt Nash - Starlight (Could You Be Mine) [Preview]With “Reverie” still making waves worldwide, Axwell wastes no time and releases another track from his riches of unreleased songs, keeping the always impressive label on the tip of everyone’s tongues this summer festival season. This track from Dutchman Don Diablo & Scotsman Matt Nash is a tough, yet tasteful cut that uses gritty bass electro stabs, a sturdy bass line, distorted vocals and easy builds to provide a relief from the festival drops seen around the circuit these days. Look for an Otto Knows remix “rumored” to be coming later this summer.
