Tropical House | Steve Aoki Joins Forces With Felix Jaehn and Adam Lambert on “Can’t Go Home”
Posted by Tay on April 5, 2016
Last month, Steve Aoki revealed that he’s been in the studio with some unexpected collaborators working on a few tracks that would shock the world. The Dim Mak label head got in the studio with the American Idol star, Adam Lambert, and the Dutch youngster, Felix Jaehn, on his latest effort, “Can’t Go Home,” for one of the most unexpected collaborations that we’ve seen in years. While the three artists come from vastly different backgrounds, their work on “Can’t Go Home” together meshes seamlessly, as Aoki steers away from his typical electro house stylings in favor of Jaehn’s uplifting, sun-soaked brand of melodic house. The talented duo of producers lay down soaring flute melodies and smooth percussions to bolster Lambert’s pop croons.
House | Jasper Dietze and Aaron Richards Release Their Cover of The Weeknd’s “In the Night”
Posted by Tay on March 10, 2016
Jasper Dietze may only have a few records to his name, but it seems like the up-and-coming star gets better with each and every release. After dazzling the dance music community with his sun-kissed take on Kygo’s “Firestone” last year, the dance newcomer has garnered an impressive following with his accessible, evocative take on deep house that borrows elements from tropical house and pop. For his most recent effort, Dietze enlists Aaron Richards to flip The Weeknd’s “In the Night” on its head, turning it into a slowed-down deep house anthem that truly showcases the Dutch DJ’s talents. Dietze lays down a bed of luscious piano melodies intricately woven with deep synth arrangements and a pulsating bassline.

Remix | Prince Fox and Phantoms Take On Felix Jaehn With Their New Remixes
Posted by Tay on January 28, 2016
We’ve been huge fans of Felix Jaehn ever since we first came across his music last year. He’s primed to become one of the breakout stars of this year’s festival circuit, as he looks to bring his melody-rich style of house music around the world. While he hasn’t released a new track in a while, the German youngster has kicked off the year with a new, self-titled EP featuring three old Felix tracks, and two brand new remixes by his fellow Casablanca Records artists, Prince Fox and Phantoms. The NYC-based DJ / producer, Prince Fox, takes “Ain’t Nobody” and turns it on its head, layering quirky percussions and bubbly bass accents for a dope future bass re-imagination. Phantoms, on the other hand, takes “Book of Love” in a different direction, keeping the soothing melodies and uplifting vibe of the original and infusing it with jazz-y undertones and airy vocal effects. Listen to both remixes below, and get your copy of the EP here.
House | Gryffin Delivers His First-Ever Original, “Heading Home,” And It’s Better Than We Ever Imagined
Posted by Tay on January 22, 2016
There’s no denying that what Gryffin has accomplished in one year is nothing short of impressive. The gifted musician displays a multi-faceted approach to production, as he brings together elements of indie with dance, all underlined by his dedication to live instruments, which can be seen clearly in his productions and with his live set. The NYC-based producer made his world debut at SnowGlobe this year, where he premiered his live concept for the first time, before taking it on the road to sold-out shows in Los Angeles and New York. Now, just three weeks into 2016, he’s getting ready for another major career milestone – his first original, “Heading Home,” which is out now on Darkroom/Interscope Records. The track features Gryffin’s melody-heavy style, as Josef Salvat’s soaring croons are balanced perfectly with lush piano melodies and a deep, throbbing bass line that gives “Heading Home” an evocative feel.
“Heading Home” is available on iTunes, and Spotify. Stream it on the electroNOW playlist.

This is definitely one of more interesting EP’s I’ve come across in a long long time. The debut self-titled EP from Australian singer, songwriter and producer “Whisperer” is one that can’t really be classified into any one particular genre, but it captivated me from start to finish. Think Explosions In The Sky meets atmospheric/dream-pop and you have this masterpiece. With beautiful melodies, vocals, and instrumentals, I’m looking forward to hearing what Whisperer comes up with in the future. Check out the Whisperer EP now!
