I’m going to make a few girls happy with this one, and dudes for that matter. Melanie C and Matt Cardle have teamed up to drop this awesome pop record “Loving You” that I think is going to be a big hit this fall. I’m personally hooked. You might remember Melanie C as Sporty Spice from the Spice Girls, and she looks and sounds amazing. Matt Cardle, the winner of X Factor UK is a lucky man sharing spit with the gorgeous Mel C. You also have to hear the man sing, he has a hell of a voice!  I look forward to seeing this track migrating towards the US! This is a must a listen!

Hip-Hop | The Kings Dead – Honest Abe

Coming off of the release of their mixtape Return of the Beast, the duo known as The Kings Dead has unleashed their newest single titled “Honest Abe”. Continuing with the darker sound they seem to have adopted, Alex Mendoza gives rapper, Sonny Shotz, a canvas to paint a picture of the music and culture that currently surround.

It surely has not been an easy return for the band since their several month hiatus, however, with releases like this one I imagine it’s only a matter of time before The Kings Dead have regained the buzz they had a couple years back. According to their website, it won’t be long before these kids hit the road once more, so be sure to catch them in a city near you!

Progressive House | Imagine Dragons – It’s Time (Lucas Bojakowski Summer Mix)

I am moderately sick so I will make this quick. I am well aware that remixes of “It’s Time” by Imagine Dragons are plentiful and I even believe a couple have already been posted. That doesn’t matter though, because this one is my new favorite. I have high standards, especially for tracks that have been posted before, so I can assure you that this is worth a listen even if you have a different remix of it you enjoy.

Dubstep | Dirt Monkey – Bussitup (Alex Sin Remix)

Dirt Monkey - Bussitup (Alex Sin Remix)Dubstep has seemed off lately but this new remix from Alex Sin absolutely blew my mind leaving little bits of bass burned brain matter all over my speakers. I love the carnival like sounds that we usually hear from artists like Killagraham and Mojo. Alex Sin created an epic bass tune that is going in my must haves playlist.

Progressive House | Marcus Schossow – Reverie

Marcus Schossow - ReverieIt was only a matter of time before Marcus Shossow got his due. He has been on the cusp for quite some time now with several successful releases on his own Tone Diary label, but in 2013 he saw his breakthrough with “Liceu” on Steve Angello’s Size Records and “Reverie” got him signed to the Axtone family. The track is built around a long, dreamy build that defies the normal 2-2 dance music composition with a dark, brooding, powerful and complex drop, combining searing guitars and impossibly punchy bass with well timed growls. This track has all the makings to be one of the best Axtone releases of the year and possibly stand as one of the best big room tracks in 2013. Look for a Michael Calfan remix later in the summer.

Electro-House | Julian Jordan & TV Noise – Childish Grandpa

Julian Jordan & TV Noise - Childish Grandpa
Childish Grandpa. When I hear that, I think of Benjamin Button. Never saw the movie, though I heard good things about it. I guess it is supposed to be an oxymoron of the child and a grandpa or just an old dude with a youthful exhuberance, someone who makes the point to have joie de vie no matter what, like my 92 year old grandpa who can still down bourbon with the best of them. The track draws on each artists’ style with a piercing, pitched lead, grinding saws, a searing guitar and crunchy distortion in the build.

Pop, Progressive House | Maroon 5 – Love Somebody (It’s The Kue Remix!)

My favorite song of all time is “Payphone” by Maroon 5. It is for that reason that I will always have a soft spot in my heart for them no matter what. I was already a fan of their original “Love Somebody” but DJ Kue made it that much better by adding a touch more energy to it and a great drop. I have had this on repeat since I first heard it.
