Dubstep | Zedd ft. Hayley Williams – Stay the Night (Dotcom Remix)

Posted by on September 26, 2013

Dotcom Music

Notorious for his heavy hitting remixes, Dotcom likes to occasionally make my week and whip up a melodic dubstep anthem that always ends up on repeat. This time, Dotcom takes on a recent release from Zedd which is guaranteed to be one of the top ten hits of the year, especially with Hayley Williams enlisted on vocals.  The recreated melody blended with Hayley Williams vocals all combined with Dotcom’s signature sound, really come together to create a beautiful remix.

Progressive House | Michael Brun – Gravity EP

Posted by on September 23, 2013

Michael Brun - Gravity EPFNT favorite, Michael Brun finally releases the EP he has long been saying would be coming this year. He has tweaked each track and made many different versions of each before deciding on which one would be final copy for the EP. He has done remixes for the likes of Calvin Harris & Dirty South this year, with another coming for Alicia Keys, but it was time to get back to originals.

The EP starts off with clubby, groovy dance floor stomper “Antares” and is followed by the highlight and most-anticipated track of the EP, “Halfway” featuring the angelic vocals of Zashanell, is the peak-time melodic weapon we have come to expect with him. The EP is all capped off by “Gravity”.

Progressive House | Dave Winnel & Chris Arnott – Remember To Breathe (Original + FTampa Remix)

Posted by on September 18, 2013

Dave Winnel & Chris Arnott - Remember To Breathe (FTampa Remix)The names Avicii, Dirty South, Vandalism, Kryder and Angger Dimas probably all mean something to you. They are all artists who Vicious Recordings helped discover and released their tracks well before they hit it big. Names like D.O.D, Dave Winnel and FTampa may not be as big now, but they are guys on the current Vicious roster who are set to do the same. Dave Winnel’s “Achtung” got a ridiculous amount of DJ support from the likes of Axwell, Alesso, Arty, Sebastian Ingrosso, Porter Robinson, Tiesto, Tommy Trash and, well you get it. FTampa’s “Kick It Hard” became a late season favorite, notably championed by Hardwell and then powered its way into many other sets.

On “Remember To Breathe”, Dave Winnel goes for a more melodic, big room approach than his past few works, calling upon Chris Arnott to lay down some superb vocals. FTampa takes the song to another level, working with the original melody and adding his own complex, melodic key play to the track, accentuated by Mr. Arnott’s vocals. Also included is a Dave Winnel remix he did last month.

Dubstep | Morten – Look Closer (Candyland Remix)

Posted by on September 18, 2013

Since everyone and their mother has been complaining about how slow dubstep is now-a-days, here’s some proof that not all new dubstep is bad! Whenever I see Candyland doing a remix I know it’s going to be something big. Candyland’s remix of “Look Closer” by Morten has two bass-filled drops, with melodic sections of vocals in between. It’s very well produced and grabs your attention immediately. Not to mention the album art is pretty cool.

Progressive House | AN21 & Max Vangeli vs Tiesto ft. Lover Lover – People of the Night (Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman Remix)

AN21 & Max Vangeli vs. Tiësto Feat. Lover Lover 'People Of The Night' (Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman Remix)

The good guys of Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman are finally here with a release in 2013. The duo are no stranger to big remix requests, like their Miike Snow remix and they take full advantage of the opportunity on this one. The original was a much more melodic effort from AN21 & Max Vangeli as they got ready for their album, but Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman inject their own big-room flavor to make this track relevant once again and put it right back into DJ radio shows and sets, as we enter the last few months of the year. Coming up, at some point, they have their second release on Size, “Rebel” with AN21 and many more.

Sick individuals and Axwell ft. Taylr Renee - I AMOnce known as the “Lights All Night ID”, Axwell breaks his pattern of blue-balling fans with tracks and releases this one in just 9 months time. This track in simply perfect, with the vintage melodic work we expect from Axwell. We cannot forget Sick Individuals on the track, who have been on fire lately and take another leap forward with this massive collab. Taylr Renee is poised to be a big vocalist in dance music, so be on the lookout for her. If you don’t like this song, we can’t be friends.

Dubstep, Mainstream Remix | Miley Cyrus – Wrecking Ball (Skrux Remix)

Posted by on September 12, 2013

I’m sure we’ve all heard this song at least once by now, or seen the hammer licking music video everyone’s so worked up about on the Internet. Skrux remixed this popular song into a beautiful melodic masterpiece. Not that it came as a surprise, because Skrux has been on point lately. He expertly builds up the intro into rising and falling bass hills and synth chops. My personal favorite part is around 2:30 when he drops the vocals down a few octaves. This one’s free!
