Progressive House | Joan Reyes & Heren feat. Amba Shepherd – Perfect Crime (Fareoh Remix)
Posted by Middy on December 19, 2012
Coming off of his “Lessons In Love” remix, Fareoh follows that outstanding remix up with another for “Perfect Crime” featuring the indelible Amba Shepherd on vocals. Fareoh delivers on a sublime melody, a quick alternating bass line and well timed stops that mesh perfectly with Amba Shepherd’s heavenly vocals. With vocal stutters and smooth piano builds easing into the drop, this displays two very impressive remixes in a row from the young New Yorker and shows he is a force to be reckoned with going into 2013.

Electro-House | Dzeko & Torres – Hey EP
Posted by Middy on December 18, 2012
Toronto duo, Dzeko & Torres make their Dim Mak debut with a three track EP comprised of two new records, “Hey” and “Check This Out”, as well as the previously released for free download “Buppy”. “Hey”, highlights the tougher side of their sound, using a prolonged riser and grungy low end. “Buppy”, the free download, continues along the vein of harder electro tracks that this EP brings to the table as a standout Dim Mak release with its punchy bass line and grinding synths. “Check This Out” brings together a distorted bass line with high pitched synths and what would a track be without an air horn? Interview to come later this week with the guys, you will want to stick around for this one.

Kendrick is on cruise control right now. Collecting 241,000 in week 1 album sales, he takes four minutes to reflect on GKMC and share some kind words for his peanut gallery. In case you missed Shyne lash out against K. Dot on Twitter last week, I’ll sum it up for you.
Shyne tweets: “u caught up in the hype. That album is aight! Lyrics kool, beats trash! I mean trash!” “Kendric Lamar has enormous potential! Gkmc is trash! Still!”
TDE label mate, ScHoolboy Q chimes in tweeting: “We all know @OriginalSHyne AIN’T EATIN!!!!! N*ggaH ain’t Had a Hot verse since 01″
Shyne responds by tweeting: “F%%# that tight jeans wear slut@kendricklamar emotional”
K.Dot speaks during interview: “It’s really no response [to him]. I’m not a sensitive guy, so that’s his opinion. Can’t stop what the world thinks, so yeah, that’s him.” K.Dot raps: “I pray to God this beat is good enough for Shyne, If not J. Cole your shit is trash, But at least my opinion just made everyone laugh”

Electro-House, Progressive House | The 8th Note – 4 The People (Incl Leventina Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 27, 2012
Dutch Trio, The 8th Note are back coming off of their 3 very successful collaborations with fellow compatriot Nilson. Their latest collaboration,”Transformers” supported by Morgan Page, Thomas Gold and many more is below at the end of the post. The 8th Note provide the original track with a smooth piano build with techy bass line elements. It then builds further in volume and energy into a uplifting synth melody accompanied by Gregorian style chants and a thumping bass line. As you guys know, I am very high on Leventina and their ability to blend seamlessly electro and progressive electro house during songs and among tracks in their back catalog. Thomas Gold played “We’re Gonna Start” at EDC NYC so you know things are only on the up and up for them. They get into the track from the 1st second with a complex bass driven bass line and getting the synth build with the Gregorian like chants established by The 8th Note going early. They take that piano and synth build and crescendo into a festival ready drop of rhythmic synth chords and a pounding bass line.
