Electro-House | Kaskade vs. Nicky Romero – Angel On My Stronger – (Nicky Romero Mix) [Kaskade FON Mash]
Posted by Spice on October 15, 2012
Kaskade’s Freaks of Nature tour was one of the highlights of the summer, and if you were lucky enough to catch him as he traversed the U.S. you will definitely remember this track. Kaskade is notorious for throwing together awesome, high energy mash-ups that recontextualize the stirring vocals from his own original mixes and put a different spin on old favorites. His mash of the classic “Angel On My Shoulder” with the driving instrumental from Nicky Romero’s remix of “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson is an instant winner and very much in keeping with this theme. This is basically a no brainer and an automatic download, so check it out and relive the memories.
Electro, Trance | La’Reda – Synthasouras Rex + Risk Everything
Posted by Sev on October 8, 2012
Electro duo La’Reda is back again with a release on Black Hole Recordings of two of their monster tunes Synthasourus Rex and Risk Everything . The jump-up style these guys brings always gives an uplifting feeling to their tunes, which sets the stage for their live performances. These guys know how to add a taste of bass and distortion to their tracks giving a heavy aspect to go along with their catchy melodies and nice chord progressions. Both tracks have great melodies with a hint of Nicky Romero’s lively Electro distorted synths setting the pace of each trance/electro blended track. Grab both of these monster tunes off of Beatport HERE.

DJ-Set, Progressive House | Fedde Le Grand & Nicky Romero feat. Matthew Koma – Sparks (Vicetone Remix)
Posted by Middy on September 16, 2012
While I think there was inherently unique and outstanding about the original, the Vicetone treatment on “Sparks” does not water down the prowess of the original work from Fedde Le Grand & Nicky Romero. Vicetone effectively eliminates Fedde Le Grand’s techy influence from the original and adds their own progressive spin on the track giving it more of a big room feel, endowing the track with a new melody. The remix has been supported by Nicky Romero and was played last night on Protocol Radio, which features Zedd trolling on the phone. Tracklist after the jump.
Electro-House | Nicky Romero & Calvin Harris – Iron
Posted by Middy on September 11, 2012
After launching his new label Protocol Recordings with the successful single “WTF”, Nicky Romero zags Scottish do it all producer, singer / songwriter, and DJ, Calvin Harris to usher in his second Protocol release “Iron”. While similarities have been drawn to Alesso’s upcoming release “Clash”, one must keep in mind that Alesso has changed that song a few times and these tracks are worked on over the span of months, making it hard to really determine who made the progression first. No one made a big stink about Zedd & W&W’s similar sounding “Shotgun” tracks that were released around the same time. Controversy aside, this track is a superb effort from Nicky Romero who is always looking to push the boundaries of dance music and create new sounds. Calvin Harris steps aside from the production side of things and steps in front of the mic as we were used to seeing him do with his early work.
