Progressive House | Eitro – Verve
Posted by Middy on February 15, 2013
Eitro put his name on the map last year with his single “True Story” and later in the year with his high powered electro track “Character” that became a bootleg favorite of many. Eitro shows off his melodic tendencies with an outstanding combined piano driven build with guitar riffs adding texture and a synth laden drop with well placed electro growls. If you want something more minimal and percussive, Kitsch 2.0 goes for a more stripped back drop that may make it the more popular of the bunch.

Progressive House | Tommie Sunshine & Disco Fries feat. Kid Sister – Cool Without You (Audien Remix)
Posted by Middy on February 14, 2013
Savvy vet and outspoken defender of the younger generation of dance music fans, Tommie Sunshine teamed up with fellow New Yorkers Disco Fries and Chicago vocalist Kid Sister on the funky house track “Cool Without You” on Australian Records. The remix package was recently released and of those on there the Audien’s remix stands out with its ability to take advantage of the vocals and add exquisite piano in the build, quick grungy electro stabs and deft key play — all while still keeping the funky feel of the original. Audien has been on a tear lately and with his rate of quality tracks showing no signs of slowing, he is sure to have a great 2013.

Another cut from Anjunabeats Volume 10, Lange & Genix collab on the this silky smooth track that marks yet another outstanding release from Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats label. “Immersion” immerses you in lush pads, atmospheric synths and emotive, reverbed piano, providing for a rich arrangement. ilan Bluestone, coming off of his single “Sinai” keeps much of the original and adds a subtle, growling low end and a pitched top line that makes his remix stand out.
Progressive House | Swanky Tunes & Peking Duk feat. James McNally – You Are Like Nobody Else
Posted by Middy on February 11, 2013
Swanky Tunes leaves their heavy electro sound of late for their first single of the year, “You Are Like Nobody Else” tabbing Australian duo Peking Duk to round out the fivesome on this production. James McNally adds infectious male vocals to this track that shows the big room sound of both Swanky Tunes & Peking Duk with its emotive synths, prominent reverbed claps, a grungy low end and smooth piano driven builds. “You Are Like Else” is a strong follow up to Swanky Tunes’ collab with Kaskade “No One Knows Who We Are“, showing promise for them going into 2013 and also puts Peking Duk on the map for many as artist to keep an eye on with already several solid productions under their belt.

Trance | Armin van Buuren vs. Arty – Nehalennia
Posted by Spice on February 11, 2013
Up next in this week’s epic batch of releases is Armin van Buuren and Arty’s stunning collaboration (which nobody knew was coming prior to its preview on ASOT 598, amiright). From the melancholic piano riffs to the floaty, chopped vocals, “Nehalennia” is a gorgeous trance journey from start to finish, befitting of the goddess it is named for. Small wonder that it’s slated as the opening track on Armin’s A State of Trance 2013 compilation, which is set to drop on Valentine’s Day.
On a related note: swaggy kicks in that artwork, Armin.

Progressive House | Cazzette – Weapon & Avicii – Three Million (Moiez Remixes)
Posted by Middy on February 6, 2013
With Cazzette hosting a remix contest for their single “Weapon”, Moiez has tossed his hat into the ring with a more tranced out version of the track, utilizing atmospheric synths, slow piano and excellent sampling of the vocals, reminiscent of his earlier works like “Kismet”. Wasting no time of this remix, Moiez flips the more melodic, experimental Eric Prydz influenced original for his own gritty electro house take on “Three Million”, a style we have not heard much of from the Canadian producer.
