Progressive House | Marcus Schössow, Mike Hawkins & Pablo Oliveros – Ulysses
Posted by Middy on December 9, 2013
The opening track of Size label boss Steve Angello’s sets over the past few months, “Ulysses” has the power and dexterity you expect from a release on Size. As the owner of the increasingly influential Megaton Records, Mike Hawkins becomes a bigger name in dance music, and here he teams up with Pablo Oliveros Marcus Schossow to create a bouncy bass line and long, riveting melodic builds. The Scandinavian connection is strong here with 2 Danes and 1 Swede on the track.

Progressive House, Trance | Artificial – Prototype
Posted by Middy on December 9, 2013
Andrew Bayer, the maker of my favorite album of the year, “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave” has teamed up with fellow Anjunabeats members, Norin & Rad to form the duo Artificial. The US branch of the Anjunabeats family, the three of these producers have always looked to push the traditional boundaries of genre, and they continue that trend here. The track combines the upbeat complexity we see in Andrew Bayer’s clubbier selections, with the melodic abilities seen in Norin & Rad’s tunes. It is the perfect storm of their talents.

Dubstep | SomeKindaWonderful – Police (Vanic Remix)
Posted by Middy on December 5, 2013
Vancouver based dubstep producer, Vanic takes Cleveland band, SomeKindaWonderful’s “Police” and adds some dubstep heat to it. Vanic has become a very deft remixer thus far in his career, having taken on an official remix for Topher Jones on Ultra, and a host of other outstanding unofficial efforts. Generally dubstep this heavy does not tickle my fancy, but the slight reggae influences and the strong melodic feel, make this palatable for all music tastes. Vanic has proved himself as a remixer, but we hope to see more originals from him. You might just be seeing one sooner than you might know….

Dubstep | anEVEmachine – All In Her Head (RoughMath Remix)
Posted by BP on November 26, 2013
It seems like it’s been eons since I posted about any outstanding new dubstep tracks. RoughMath’s remix of “All In Her Head” by anEVEmachine is somewhere between melodic and heavy dubstep, leaning much farther to the melodic side. The only thing non-melodic about it are the growls thrown in during the drops, which were a very pleasant surprise. The vocals are kept it tact for the most part, and overall this track is a pretty fun listen. Grab it for free!
