Electro-House | Denzal Park – Yarl
Posted by Middy on January 21, 2013
Australian duo Denzal Park continue to show the diversity in their productions as they follow up songs in 2012 like “Scorpio” & “Amarok” and the mountain of remixes they manage to put out. “Yarl” combines a powerful acid infused lead, a melodic interlude with light dubstep influences and a thumping bass line that drives the acid lead. Denzal Park’s return to Fedde Le Grand’s Flamingo Records can be called nothing short then a success and “Yarl” is an outstanding start to 2013 for the habitually underrated duo.

Progressive House | Arias – Andromeda
Posted by Middy on January 21, 2013
Frenchman, Julien Arias, professionally known as Arias first made his name known back in 2006 aside Arno Cost with “Magenta” and later in 2011 with “Days To Come” with Arno Cost & Michael Feiner. He since has been pretty quiet, releasing a remix here and there like his “Someone Like You” remix that did pretty well. However, with the launch of his label Olympia Records and its debut release “Andromeda”, it is safe to say that Arias is back and will be busy on the production front. “Andromeda” is a very proggy, melodic track with well crafted synth layers, rolling bass lines, pitched leads, dextrous key play and a subtle vocal that round out this incredibly unique and timeless offering from the Parisian producer. This is the type of track I could see Pryda dropping during a peak moment in one of his sets.

Portland’s PropaneLv and frequent collaborator D.Shuts come together on this mellow and powerful ballad. “Nobody” takes a retrospective glance at the progression of the music hustle with a melodic hook that reiterates just that. Overall, another impressive release from Lv.

Progressive House | Fehrplay – I Can’t Stop It
Posted by Middy on January 14, 2013
One of the names to watch in 2013, Fehrplay makes his return to Eric Prydz’s Pryda Friends imprint with his debut 2013 release “I Can’t Stop It”. The Norwegian producer provides us with the hallmarks of what we can expect with a Fehrplay production and Pryda Friends release — subtly and melodic complexity. Getting its first play on EPIC radio 005 and later being chosen as an essential new tune by Pete Tong, Fehrplay uses a rolling bass line with euphoric synth chords and prominent arps, aided by entrancing vocals to create a complete, full body track sure to remain prominent for the first few months of the year..

Posted by GMONEY on January 6, 2013
Most of our avid readers know Collin McLoughlin as an incredible singer and songwriter whose has been crushing covers of the biggest names in the industry. However, what most of you proabbly don’t know is that he is also a very talented producer, and in his latest cover of OneRepublic’s upcoming smash single If I lose Myself he shows us just how good he is.
His crispy clean vocals and uplifting melodic dubstep breaks, truly show us a new side to this musician. I look forward to seeing what he has in store for us in 2013..
Events | Ultra Music Festival Phase 1 Trailer
Posted by Middy on January 5, 2013
Ready for Miami yet? Well here is the trailer for the complete first lineup announcement after Avicii leaked the original about a week ago. This announcement comes with a few new additions in Rudimental, Disclosure, Major Lazer and Modestep, rounding out what should be an excellent balance of all genres and live performances. The trailer uses “Everyday” so that means that they have to get the melodic master, right…. right? Also something I failed to inlcude last time was that ASOT leaked its ridiculous lineup of Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, ATB, Cosmic Gate, Dash Berlin, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Norin & Rad, Paul van Dyk, Tritonal, W&W, which makes you wonder, when do you ever leave that tent? Hit the jump for the full lineup.
