Progressive House | Nicky Romero vs Krewella – Legacy (Vicetone Remix)

Posted by Middy on August 24, 2013

With the power of both of their fan bases, ~~Symphonica~~ “Legacy” soared right up to the top of the Beatport charts and stayed their for quite some time. However, the original seemed like left over parts from “Symphonica“, with great vocals from Krewella put on top. It needed remixes badly. In step Vicetone, who need no introduction anymore with their powerful, driving melodies. They apply this to “Legacy”, giving it the originality and stamina it needed.

Events, Progressive House | Vicetone – Tremble

Posted by Middy on August 5, 2013

Vicetone caught the attention of the internet almost immediately, and a lot of big name DJs right after, but none as strongly as Nicky Romero. They have done label releases before, such as “Stars”, but none as big as this, as they make their label debut on their new home, Protocol Recordings. The Dutch duo take a page out of label boss, Nicky Romero’s playbook with the emotive, string-led interlude, surrounded by their powerful guitar-like synths that really give the track that Vicetone flavor. Right after E Zoo, they will be touring North America with Nicky Romero on his “Nothing Toulouse” tour, which you can find the dates after the jump. Tickets are on sale here.

Posted by Middy on August 1, 2013

Tomorrowland has come and gone. It is still with all of those who were there and they would probably do anything to go back. Luckily for those who were there and those who weren’t, Tomorrowland caught it all on camera and on radio to help us relive it. Here are a few select sets that help exemplify the madness that went down in Boom. More after the jump.

Electro-House, Progressive House | Rihanna ft David Guetta – Right Now (Remixes)

Posted by Middy on July 12, 2013

Pop vixen Rihanna has become one of the leaders in bringing dance music into popular music, for better of for worse, collaborating with Calvin Harris, David Guetta numerous times and on “Right Now” bringing on the talents of Nicky Romero for what he called a “basic” production. While the track has had staying value for radio play and commercially, being an anthem for the NBA playoffs, as a club weapon it needed a facelift and that is exactly what it got from a group of Dutchmen in this remix package.

Dyro does not change too much, but rather adds his own gritty formula that blends with the original melody, beefing up the bass line as a possible track for more commercial audiences. Sick Individuals took more liberties with the track, adding a rolling, pitched bass line and big room synths to make this my favorite of the two, though the Dyro remix has received the brunt of the publicity.

Progressive House | Matthew Koma – One Night (Vicetone Remix)

Posted by Middy on May 21, 2013

It has been a crazy year for Vicetone. Ever since exploding onto the scene last July, they have wowed fans, artists and industry insiders alike with their uncannily crisp productions, big time melodies and prolific remix rate that does not sacrifice for quality. One such customer is Nicky Romero who has signed them to his label, Protocol Recordings, and by the looks of it (rather blurry, what are you taking pictures with a flip phone?) may be working on a track with them.

Matthew Koma has become one of the hottest vocalists in dance music, and from that he has launched his own solo career with his “Parachute EP” successfully released last year and an album forthcoming later in the year. Vicetone have continued their dominance into the 2013, though their prolific release rate has slowed up as we have seen more official releases from the Dutch duo like “Heartbeat” with Collin Mcloughlin and “Stars” with Jonny Rose. Building around Matthew Koma’s seemingly perfectly built for edm vocals, Vicetone add their own big room touch with a crisp, rock influenced synth melody that pierces through your speakers and fills the space around you. Look for more remixes and originals from Vicetone coming up, including a remix of Nervo‘s “Hold On“.

Electro-House | Nicky Romero – Symphonica

Posted by Middy on March 25, 2013

At long last Nicky Romero’s single “Symphonica”, first played at last year’s Tomorrowland, gets its official release and sets itself up to be an early summer anthem. Nicky is still riding the high of his collab with Avicii “I Could Be The One“, as well as his house smash “Still The Same Man” and with Protocol Records tracks getting plays from Djs all across the spectrum, he is making his push to manage the collasal task of having an even bigger year in 2013 than last year. “Symphonica” embodies the hard hitting sound you come to expect from Nicky with foreboding piano, rough, jarring, almost sand paper like saws and orchestral strings, bringing together this outstanding arrangement from the young Dutchman. No word on the trap remix from Bare that Romero gave a whirl during his mainstage set last weekend at Ultra, but it is one to look out for.
