Mixtapes, RnB | Mateo – Love & Stadiums
Posted by GMONEY on August 12, 2011
I gotta be honest here guys, I rarely find myself listening to R&B. Its not that I don’t like it, its just that in a world filled with electro heaters, and hard hitting hip-hop, its hard to slow down and give R&B tracks the time to grow on me. Well Mateo managed to do just that, and I think that it has a lot to do with his musical approach:
My style is like R&B with Soul in it. A lot of R&B is just singing over Hip-Hop beats but I want to build on that and take it to another level. I want to add some piano keys over the beats and add something melodic to it. My style is like if you played Coldplay over break beats. – Mateo

House, Preview | Junior Sanchez Ft Karmen – I Believe In Remixes
Posted by Middy on August 11, 2011
Another amazing remix for the Invisible remix package. These remixes for the original are incredible. Swanky Tunes does what you would expect out of the trio except with some more synth and less piano work and of course, the great bass. The Third Party remix is just too good with everything you could want and more. Perfect synths, a great bass line and uses the vocals perfectly.

House, Preview | Relentless – Vacation EP
Posted by Middy on July 10, 2011
Here is a live rip for the much anticipated Swedish House Mafia remix of Coldplay’s Every Teardrop is a Waterfall. Absolutely stunning. Hopefully this means they will be making more tracks. Here is Relentless, Stars Above, or Josh Bull’s new EP. It is such a smooth EP fittingly named vacation that just flows so well from beginning to end. It is some great melodic house with excellent synth and piano work that you can relax to but it also has some upbeat drops as well.
Electro, Mashups | Afrojack, Mochi Beats, Fedde le Grand, Sex Ray Vision
Posted by Middy on June 29, 2011
Mashups and house in the same post? Why not? The first song Afrojack apparently made on tour. It is a very good song and is very impressive for a song made on the road, but it sounds like it could have used some more attention, but that is just me.

I usually wouldn’t be posting a mashup with Levels because it amazing the way it is, but Mochi Beats makes the song more party friendly throwing some on lyrics from a whole host of artists that flow quite nicely over the beat.

Fedde has been on absolute fire lately with whatever he puts out taking over beatport charts and in almost every DJs set. This remix only continues that by adding that little extra to a great beat and a little unique flavor to it.

Sex Ray Vision are more known for their remixes, but they have some very good original productions, including this one they just released. It has great piano, synth work and bass, its all there.

Dubstep | Nero’s Dubstep Symphony and More | Dubstep
Posted by Mach on June 14, 2011
Only Nero would come up with the idea to do a dubstep symphony, considering they come up with just about everything else dubstep related. Classical is the one genre of music I could never get into even after playing the piano for 12 years, but this is amazing. I wish I was that awesome.
Down to the goods now. This first track I know everyone is going to complain about how it just stops short, it’s because its not out yet. Despite being cut short I think you listeners can stand 3 minutes of epicness. With that said this track is insane, the second drop being entirely different from the first.

Back In Black is my second favorite AC/DC song next, second to Highway To Hell. If you don’t like AC/DC that’s ok because this is a sick track.

This last track is another one from Zeds Dead. Great vocals, sick bassline, and just an all around well produced track. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Hip-Hop | Kenton Dunson – Firestarter Feat. Ryan Kellie
Posted by GMONEY on June 8, 2011
After giving you a taste of Kenton late last month, we are proud to drop his second single “Firestarter.” This tracks features awesome lyricism and some of the best production I have heard from an upcoming artist…plus this hook is butter. According to Kenton:
I was always intrigued by the term “Firestarter”… ever since I heard that Prodigy record in the 90’s. The term actually meant something to me after I dated a serial heart breaker. She was blazing a mean trail! Eventually she must have realized her faults because she later apologized saying she didn’t mean any harm but honestly, when does that ever help? I’m actually good friends with her today so my goal is not to put that individual on blast but as you progress as a songwriter, you absolutely must allow yourself to express true emotion whether the subject is sensitive or not. I wrote this song very quick starting at the piano and sang the hook in falsetto…enter Ryan Kellie! She’s an amazing singer/songwriter who spent a lot of time on the Nashville music scene. I wrote piano parts to a few of her songs in progress so we have a natural working relationship that turned out perfectly on this track!
Electro, House | Rebecca & Fiona – Bullets (Alaa’s Bootleg) | Electro
Posted by BIGLIFE on April 8, 2011
This is a banger with great synth, piano and female vocals from Rebecca & Fiona.

This is a progressive bomb that has been labeled as an Avicii song, but that is wrong. It has a stunning piano lead that keeps you hooked through the whole song and is just happy.
