Albums | Portrait Digital Presents: ‘Gallery:03’

Welcome to the edge of the horizon. If you dare, bring your scuba gear, because we’re about to travel deep into uncharted territory. Here, the weather is unpredictable. You’ll find yourself caught between a warm breeze and icy chills. There are quiescent deserts, bustling forests, mystifying depths of ocean, and volatile skies. Indeed, Portrait Digital have brought forward a showcase of melodies and beats that can be commended for realizing, thus far, the pinnacles reached by the Melodic Progressive House/Trance genre in its story of evolution. Out December 1, 2014, The Gallery:03 eases our transition into the New Year and foreshadows a sense of what to expect in 2015 from the label.

The compilation invests in well-known talents like Roald Velden, Bee Hunter, and Denis Neve, names that have become recognized for their contributions to this scene. Gallery:03 could not start off more perfectly as Idle Earth’s “Darling, My Love Is Yours” instills feel-good vibes, soundscaping our minds into a state of positivity. Moving ahead, one realizes that the melodic progressive genre has managed to break barriers onto the dancefloor, as demonstrated by the magicians Kirill Nikolaev & Denis Neve’s in “Redline” – a track that was featured on Armin Van Buuren’s ASOT 689. Alex Byrka & EdNikoff take us into the abyss with “Atlantis,” followed by Kono who delivers a one-way ticket to drifting in the skies with “Sakuna.” Each track narrates its own story delegated by emotional breaks, chords and synths.

The Gallery:03 has conquered our expectations and is a true reflection of Portrait Digital’s caliber. It is consistent, it is quality, and it is divine.

DJ-Set | Kap Slap – SnowGlobe 2013 Set

Posted by on January 8, 2014

Kap-Slap-Snow-Globe

SnowGlobe was one for the books, there is no doubt about that. As expected, Tiesto crushed the first night, Kaskade did his thing the second, and Cut Copy brought in the New Year with a vibrant live set. What was unexpected was what happened when Kap Slap took the stage.  His set was on the second stage, earlier in the night (5:15 PM), and was competing with the legendary hip hop group Zion I on the main stage.  Regardless of the circumstances, come 5:45 PM, the Sierra tent was at capacity with every festival goer dancing their hearts out. Kap Slap kept the entire tent jumping, dancing, & singing for an entire hour and fifteen minutes. The highlight of his set was when he debuted his first original production which left the crowd with their hands in the air and ears asking for more. The transitions were flawless, his stage energy was unmatched, and he closed out his performance with one of his signature stage dives. Relive SnowGlobe 2013 with this heart racing heavy hitting hour and fifteen mix.

Posted by on December 31, 2012

Rob Adans “Abash” became a bootlegging favorite of many this year including the great Axwell and potent combo on Sebastian Drums and Whelan & Di Scala got their hands on the song to make the definitive remix of this outstanding track. They keep the instantly recognizable melody from the original, then flip the song into a tough electo house song with a high energy, growling drop. Ring in the New Year with this song that is sure to set dance floors on fire.

Electro-House | Keane – Sovereign Light Café (Afrojack Remix)

Posted by on December 24, 2012

With Alesso remixing Keane’s very successful single “Silenced By The Night” to rave reviews, it was only a matter of time before another big name producer got their hands on a Keane track and made it their own. Afrojack slowly builds with a slow easy piano and the outstanding vocals from lead singer Tom Chaplin and then adds a blistering drop of pitched synths and a fast moving bass line. On the heals of his chart topping single “Annie’s Theme” and his upcoming remix for one billion youtube views “Gangnam Style”, as well as hosting a huge Jacked event on Pier 94 to ring in the New Year, Afrojack is continuing to assert his worldwide dominance on dance music.

Mashups | DOSVEC – FIVE

Posted by on January 10, 2012


Now this is what I call a BANGER! DOSVEC harnesses the old school power Mylo’s Drop The Pressure and blends in four other new-school songs. Be sure to check the visuals above, they add that extra “umph” to DOSVEC’s masterpiece. Incidentally, it’s named FIVE for the New Year (2+0+1+2) and for the number of tracks he used in this mash.

Alternative, Hip-Hop, Videos | Flipsyde, YONAS, Chiddy, Rick Ross

Flipsyde may be a new name to some, but they’re no noobs on the scene.  The Oakland trio have been carving their niche in the alternative hip-hop/rock market for close to ten years, gaining a lot of their popularity from extreme sports fans and athletes.  Personally, I first found out about these guys about 5 years ago and would loop their album while I was shredding semi-fresh pow pow.  They were signed to Interscope for several years but recently broke out of their contract and are once again independent.  If you’re feeling this track and want some of their older material, hit me on Twitter @Grubeats and I’ll share the goods.

I slipped on this short new track YONAS dropped to tip off the new year.  YONAS has been in constant rotation on MTVU with his video for “Sky Kidz” and has also been electrifying crowds while on tour with The White Panda and Timeflies. XXL Freshman 2013?

Chiddy throws a verse on 2am Club’s alternative/pop tune, “Every Evening”.  Not a huge surprise after the two toured together in the fall.

Ricky Rozay grunts his way onto this remix of Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars “Mirror”.  The original served as a bonus cut off of Tha Carter IV, but has seen it’s fair share of radio play.
