FYI | Uncovering Spinnin’s “You Know” ID
Posted by BIGLIFE on January 1, 2015
“You Know” has been floating around the web for quite some time. It was first announced as a collaboration between Oliver Heldens and Mike Mago, and teased in various mixes and “Heldeep Radio” episodes. It even had album art floating around. Names were thrown out (mostly by fans) and “Feelings” seemed to stick for a while, especially on 1001Tracklists.com. Last weekend, we attended Lights All Night in Dallas and had the opportunity to catch a Zed’s Dead set, which was impressively varied.
While watching the set, Zeds Dead played “You Know” an announced that “this was their new sh*t with Oliver Heldens” which we live-tweeted. It caught us completely off guard, but were excited to get that confirmation. Whether it’s a Oliver Heldens, Mike Mago, and Zeds Dead collaboration remains to be seen. Spinnin’ is understandably tight-lipped about the record. What we do know is that it’s a big record and we can’t wait for more information to become available. Keep your eye on this space.
“You Know” is available on February 2nd.
House | Watch Mr. Belt & Wezol “Time” Video
Posted by BIGLIFE on January 1, 2015
Making their debut in 2014 with a string of infectious remixes picked up by the blog space, as well as a “Pikachu” collaboration with Oliver Heldens, Mr. Belt & Wezol release their heavily anticipated “Time” original today. Set in a mysterious warehouse, Mr. Belt and Wezol bring us an accompanying video, which largely consists of them smashing clocks with various weapons. My feelings about the music video aside, “Time” is a great tune and I expect it to charily highly on Beatport.
“Time” is out now on Spinnin’ Deep.

Future House | Jack U Recruit Tchami To “Take U There”
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 18, 2014
Diplo and Skrillex recruit enigmatic priest-garb wearing future house purveyor Tchami to put his incredible touch on “Take U There” featuring IDJ’s Kiesza. This remix is so good, it makes me want to pound a million shots of that anti-freeze laced Fireball and throw myself out a high-rise building. Just when I thought he would utilize those Tchami snyths we get an entirely new sound. Just incredible. I can’t wait to go deep with this tune all weekend. Tchami’s “Take U There” drops December 23 via OWSLA / Mad Decent, which can’t come quickly enough. Tchami. I need more Tchami! Tooooo good. [H/T HT]
House | Young Bombs Remix Sigma “Nobody To Love”
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 12, 2014
Young Bombs. I first discovered them from Oliver Heldens wildly popular “Heldeep Radio” series. I’m glad I did, because they’ve been pumping out solid remixes for the past few months. Building on the success of their Route 94 “My Love” remix (which I included in my own personal mix) they release their interpretation of Sigma’s “Nobody To Love” with incredible success, putting a new spin on a record that’s already had massive success. It’s technically a remix of a remix, but that doesn’t matter. New music is always welcome from this Canadian duo. Keep an eye out for these two in 2015. I expect big things.
House | Oliver Heldens – Heldeep Radio 27
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 6, 2014
I love waking up early on Saturday’s. Not because I didn’t go out the night before and stayed in and binge-watched some pointless Netflix series. I wake up early to listen to Oliver Heldens’s latest episode of “Heldeep Radio”. In addition to an incredible BBC Radio 1 Mix at 4AM last night, Oliver put together tracks from Dop Dropers, Croatia Squad, and that Pep & Rash “Rumors” ID set to release on Spinnin’ Records. Tune in and turn it up. Many great tunes to be had. Oliver Heldens. Heleep Radio. Nice!
House | ID – Rumors (Original Mix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on November 30, 2014
As much as we like to poke fun at Spinnin’ Records, they’re putting out some damn good tunes right now. Earlier this week, Oliver Heldens tweeted about “Rumors” to be released on Spinnin’ Records that’s pitched down vocals future house greatness. This isn’t the first time the track has been featured, as it was played on Oliver Helden’s latest “Heldeep Radio” episode. Who could the track be produced by? I have my guesses, however, I’ll wait until Spinnin’ Records reveals the track.
I wouldn’t want to start any rumors. See what I did there?
