Progressive House | Fedde le Grand & Nicky Romero ft. Matthew Koma – Sparks (Turn Off Your Mind)

Posted by on August 27, 2012

Finally after a 3 week delay we have the vocal version of “Sparks”, the massive anthemic single from Fedde le Grand & Nicky Romero with rising vocal asset, Matthew Koma bringing everything together. When I first heard the preview above and then the instrumental, the song just sounded odd without the vocals. It just did not seem not seem right without the vocals regardless of the small changes in the mix between the two. Matthew Koma brings this summer anthem to its full potential and it is something you must have, period.

Progressive House, Videos | Fedde le Grand & Nicky Romero ft. Matthew Koma – Sparks (Official Video)

Posted by on July 6, 2012

This summer has lacked that signiature track that really defined the sound of the summer. Last summer had “Levels” and more specifically “Calling”. “In My Mind” is still getting plenty of air play because it has yet to see a song unseat it as song of the year, but otherwise for potential anthems released this summer, you will come up empty. “Sparks” may just be that song. I am not guaranteeing an anthem from this track because I am not Nostradamus, but if this song were getting drafted into the anthem draft, it would go number one this summer. It will have stiff competition from two tracks coming out in the coming weeks in “Top Of The World” and Afrojack – Rock The House, but either way watch out because sparks will fly on July 16th when this is unleashed on the world.

Events, Review | Nervo & Norman Doray @ Pacha NYC 6/16

Posted by on June 26, 2012

Though this was 10 days ago, the memory is still quite vivid at the Nervo sister’s ability to manipulate the crowd and Norman Doray’s mastery behind the decks. I was unable to head into the area behind the dj booth as I was 96 hours away from my 21st birthday, but sometimes being in the crowd is just as good being able to share all the energy of the music with your fellow music lovers. Nervo stepped onto the decks at around 1pm after a solid opening tech set from the resident Dj at Pacha getting the crowd at a fever pitch of anticipation for the Aussie twins. They started off their set with some different tracks than your typical top 40 beatport rotation, which was very interesting and refreshing to hear. They then transitioned from these tracks as the clock moved towards 1:45 with their upcoming hit single with Hook N Sling – Reason (video below) that is a going to be huge when it releases.

Then they started to pick up the pace with their set, getting into their progressive sound with their tracks the Hook N Sling remix of “We’re All No One” and their collaboration with Steve Aoki and Afrojack on the Tomorrowland Anthem. Tommy Trash made a surprise visit to support his compatriots, which brought the crowd to a frenzy and the Nervo twins obliged by dropping his remix of “Wicked Woman”. Tommy Trash was a ball of energy in the Dj booth, but let the Nervo twins have their night as they continued to churn out hits with tracks like “Trio” and then more unreleased tracks such as “Like Home” with Nicky Romero (video below) and their famed song with Omarion “Army” (video at end in 2 parts). They finally relinquished the decks at around 3am, leaving the crowd sweating and wanting more, but it was time for the French up and comer, Norman Doray to show us what he was made of. Check out the rest after the jump.

Electro-House, Progressive House | Nicky Romero & ZROQ – WTF!?

Posted by on May 28, 2012

Nicky Romero is back at it again, but this time with a little help from ZROQ, releasing their new single WTF!? The wait from UMF nearly killed me. Watching the stream of Nicky dropping this track just sent me over the top as well as with the crowd. He has yet to disappoint me with his releases, and the fact that he brings his own hard hitting electro style to house music makes me favor him even more because he strives to put himself on a different level from his colleagues. Providing us with an amazing Nicky Romero intro we love so much, that slowly builds its way to an over-the-top, electro styled drop that leaves you in a state of “WTF!?”.  Nicky Romero will be a force to be reckoned with this year, and this is only a taste of what is to come. You can grab this track on Beatport HERE.

DJ-Set, Electro-House, Progressive House | Nicky Romero Essential Mix

Posted by on April 28, 2012

Nicky Romero appeared on BBC Radio One’s legendary Essential Mix show last night and definitely made the most of his opportunity, using every second of the 2 hours allotted to him to display his mastery as a producer and as a Dj mixing seamlessly through his extensive discography with hot tracks from others in the industry, while putting together a few impressive bootlegs such as his “Titanium” remix bootleg. He takes the opportunity to play many of his already released tracks, but he also uses this medium to showcase to the world some of his upcoming tracks including his UMF ID that is now a collaboration with ZROQ called WTF and will be released on Nicky Romero’s own Protocol Records.
He also played much his anticipated collaboration with Avicii “Nicktim”, a new collaboration with David Guetta that sounds great, Sander van Doorn’s upcoming anthem “Nothing Inside”, Dyro & Ansol’s electro house banger “Top Of The World”, and the first radio play of Avicii & Lenny Kravitz – Superlove (Original Mix). Nicky Romero is cementing himself as a superstar in EDM with the ability to produce all sorts of genres moving from his works with Fedde le Grand that have more of a tech feel, to his progressive solo works and those with David Guetta and his harder grimier tracks he has done on his own. The essential mixes coming at us this year have been crazy good with the previous two from Alesso & Arty both being must listens. This is perfect for your Saturday so Nicky Romero start off or continue your raging. Tracklist after the jump.
