Progressive House | The Two Friends ft. Jeff Sontag – Sedated
Posted by Mel on July 16, 2013
The Two Friends’ latest original “Sedated” features the superb vocals of Jeff Sontag and follows the same vein as their previous remix of “World In Our Hands” that I found a liking to. It starts off a little slow before finding its stride in the build and fully taking off in the drop. Even though there is an oddly out of place piano during the drops, this is still a great song that is worth sharing.

House | Axwell – Center Of The Universe (Remode)
Posted by Middy on May 30, 2013
He is back. After 2 years of no single releases, we finally have something from the man, the myth, the legend, Axwell. One of the giants in house music, he takes his time perfecting every little detail in his tracks and it shows not only in release rate, but also the quality that is seen in his discography.
“Center of the Universe” has been in circulation for several years now and the anticipation and excitement for it has not dwindled since the day it was first played to the public. With the remode of this potent track, Axwell goes for the pool party vibe, with a nuanced, well crafted true-to-the-name house approach, stripping the track of its big melody and concentrating on the groove and a delicate piano melody. There is no word on when the original will be released, but I cannot wait until then. I personally am more of a fan of the original, but the remode will be just fine until that day, whenever it may come.

Hip-Hop, Pop | Kat Dahlia – Gangsta

Ex FNT blogstar, SeñorScoop, pushed this track in front of me a couple weeks ago. He said dude, “Listen to this chick. She’s the next Rihanna.” I took it with a grain of salt (as I usually do) and gave it a listen. Decent, good at tops. I was wrong – this song is magical. The 22-year old Cuban-American boasts vocals equivalent to Rihanna’s deeper notes, continuously delivering honest, edgy lyrics over a slow piano driven production. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs. Oh, and if it’s any indication that she’s destined for success, Sylvia Rhone (arguably one of the most powerful women in the music industry) was the one who gave her a platform and eventually signed her to a new division of Epic Records, Vested in Culture.

House, Review | Stars Above – Higher Than The Sky EP
Posted by Mach on May 21, 2013
https://mycookbook-recept.ru/ Above is always serenading me with his touch of Trance on his House tracks. it has been well over 18 months since Stars Above was able to release an original production, but he is now here with two epic tracks. Every time I hear a new tune from Stars Above I imagine myself under a massive tent, then I turn up my volume and get lost in the music. His title track, “Higher Than The Sky” makes me want to throw my arms in the air that high. The second drop breaks into an awesome dance vibe, something to make any big room just lose it. “Daybreak” wakes me up, seriously, it has been my alarm for a few days now and I love it. It is the perfect progression for lightening my mood from “I can’t believe I actually have to get out of bed this morning”. Out of the two, “Daybreak” is definitely my favorite, I am just a sucker for piano and Stars Above delivered.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Sam Lachow – 80 Bars (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 1, 2013
Now Sam Lachow did something dope here. As he described in the Youtube description, he created a beat compilation of all different types of beats. My favorite has to be the first one, because I love Sam on piano driven, melodic beats like Nothing’s Gonna Change. This track has something for everybody, it’s got the heavier beats, the synth drivens, the melodics, the harmonics. The video, put together by Sam is great as always, and just depicts him having as much fun as ever lurkin around the nation’s hip-hop hotbed. Check out the video above and follow Sam on twitter for some solid entertainment
Hip-Hop | Huey Mack – Buzzkill (Prod. by Judge)
Posted by LoffyG on April 14, 2013
Rising country star, Huey Mack, remixes Luke Bryan’s latest single “Buzzkill” for his newest video release. I gotta admit this song is super catchy and I wouldn’t be surprised if this video racks up a lot more views than usual. Shout-out to Huey Mack and Jon Kilmer for the amazing guitar and piano work.
Progressive House | Temper Traps – Trembling Hands (Stereoshock Lonely City Remix)
Posted by Mel on April 7, 2013
It’s been a while since we’ve heard something new from Stereoshock but today he made the wait worth while. The song “Trembling Hands” by The Temper Trap has had its fair share of remixes so I was admittedly nervous clicking play on this because there have been some great ones. Stereoshock blew me away with his rendition. He sets the perfect atmosphere with orchestral strings and city sounds as well as a combination of slow piano work and quick, catchy key play, before hitting the percussive build aided with the emotive vocals, and then finally climaxing into a truly cinematic, big room drop. Stereoshock has come a long way since his early days doing edits. His production skills are now just superb. I’m excited for what he has in store for us in the future.
