With their latest remix of Tove Lo’s “Habits”, The Chainsmokers wanted to find the middle ground between the bass heavy, hardstyle kick filled festival tracks that we all love even though they all sound the same, and the more typical progressive sound that they are accustomed to. They successfully did that by having multiple distinct drops that incorporate both of those sounds. The drops progress into one another creating an interesting, dynamic track while fulfilling their desire to explore the festival realm. They’ve released a very large number of tracks in the past year so it’s hard to rank them but I would say this is one of their better ones.

Progressive House | Archie – Loving You

I have never really been a fan of Archie because for a while, all his songs sounded the same (they even used the same synths). Although, I must admit that when I clicked play on this 2 minute and 51 second song, I wasn’t expecting to fall in love. I did though, Archie got me. Two years ago, I was punched in the stomach by a girl. It was an amazing experience. She had been texting me for like a week, maybe a week and a half and I was clearly not interested (she was kinda heavy). One day at lunch we passed each other in the hall and she just hit me. My mind was blown quite honestly. It didn’t hurt because I mean she’s a girl and the whole thing was actually pretty hot looking back on it.

The infatuation I imagine that girl had for me is what I have for “Loving You”, Archie’s latest song. I know it lacks substance and is extremely short and is not really a progressive house song but ever since I first heard it an hour ago, I can’t stop listening to it. The cheesy vocals are extremely catchy and it makes for such a feel good track.

Bass, Chill, Deep House, Electronic | W8’s Top 10 Tracks of 2013

Posted by on December 23, 2013

We’re almost there. A few more days and 2013 will be another one for the books. ‘Tis the time to summarize a score of minty fresh jams that didn’t fade away too quickly this year, which is saying a hell of a lot these days. This compilation could have easily had tracks replaced with others, and all would be the same to me. There is just too many to name that are equally as good but I guess narrowing it down to 10 appeals to us all. Note that this vaporwave clip Feeel by Torus above is my favorite video of the year and is why it’s there. All this said I’ll let you get on with it. Have a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year.

Mix, Mixtapes, Review | 10 Mixes From 2013 That Made My Jaw Drop

Posted by on December 23, 2013

One cool thing that happened to me this year was that I got hired on to write for FNT. I have followed this website for years and it has led me to mountains of great music. I’m glad that I now have the opportunity to share music with the website. This year I became a bigger fan of mixes; I love to see what artists can do when given an extended period of time within which they can be creative. Below is the list of 10 mixes that I liked the most from this past year, with some other mixes mentioned at the end that didn’t make this list based on who knows what. The list is more or less ranked in order, with mix #1 definitely being my favourite. If you don’t want to listen to all of the mixes, and don’t care what I have to say about them, then skip ahead and at least listen to the number 1 mix – Space Jams by The M Machine (hence the above, cool picture of those guys). Thanks for supporting the website by visiting it, thanks for supporting artists and their music, and thanks for reading our posts.

Bass, Trap | Enur Ft. Natasja – Calabria 2007 (The Clerk Rmx)

Posted by on December 17, 2013

Enur - Calabria 2007 Feat. Natasja (The Clerk Rmx)“Calabria” was one of my go to tracks back in the days when I was still learning what EDM was. The Clerk went into this and completely evolved it into a sawg-bass, traptastic jam. I would love to hear this blasted in a packed basement, no doubt everyone would be bumping out to this til the sweat shorted out the speakers.
