Events | Marquee Las Vegas Announces 2014 Residents
Posted by Middy on February 25, 2014
Though Hakkasan has wowed Vegas and the world with its 100 million dollar price tag and the money it is shelling out for top flight talent, it does not mean other clubs are not getting big names in the EDM arms race taking place in Vegas. Marquee Las Vegas is also bringing in some premier names for their dayclub and nightclub parties like Armin van Buuren, Kaskade, Porter Robinson, Claude von Stroke, Dash Berlin, Carnage, Markus Schulz and many more. You can see the full lineup below and check their website for full details.
Progressive House | AN21, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman – Rebel
Posted by Middy on January 21, 2014
It first got a lot of buzz March last year with a live premier by AN21 in Montreal on the One Last Tour, and then a radio premier on Steve Angello’s essential mix, but has since remained largely dormant. AN21 himself has been pretty quiet since his 2012 album “People Of The Night” alongside Max Vangeli, but this year has stated he will be bringing more music and more solo efforts. Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman had a late surge in 2013 with their “POTN” remix and then “Silver Sun”, but have just been waiting on tracks to be released, like the all too often requested “Payback” alongside the bossman himself, Steve Angello.
“Rebel” is the next best thing with an upbeat progressive sound with well crafted builds and crescendoes grounded in a punchy bass line and rumbling horn. Man would it be crazy to be able to listen to Steve Angello’s hard drive for a few hours, the unreleased treasures he must have in there, one cannot even begin to imagine.

Electronic, Videos | MØ x Diplo – XXX 88
Posted by mimada on September 10, 2013
While certain big-name female celebrities continue to slowly chip away at the world’s image of a role model woman (not pointing any fingers this time), 2013 has fortunately reeled some incredibly talented female acts into the spotlight who go above and beyond to compensate for the wreckage. See: Banks, Jessie Ware, Charli XCX, Lorde, Aluna Francis, just to name a few. And adding to the list I present to you my latest female vocalist of interest, Danish electro-pop songstress MØ (pronounced “moo”). Take one part Scandinavian sweetheart, one part sultry temptress, top it off with a fat gold chain and a ponytail and you’ll get this bonafide badass singer. Check out the video premier of her latest track titled “XXX 88,” produced by the one and only Diplo and you’ll get a feel for what I mean. And if you still want mo’ MØ, keep an eye out for her EP and album release later this season.

Electro-House | Blasterjaxx – Fifteen (Hardwell Edit)
Posted by Middy on September 9, 2013
I don’t usually like a lot of these festival-drop type of songs, but this one I have been waiting on for quite some time. Blasterjaxx have become one of the premier hit-makers in this market with tracks like “Miami”, “Faith”, “Puzzle” and now “Fifteen”. The track seems to sound the same, besides the vocals in the drop being changed from “Everybody Fucking Jump” to “Drop fifteen in the EDM scene”. Expect to hear this quite often this fall, if you haven’t been already, as dance music starts to move indoors.

Progressive House | Kryder – Aphrodite
Posted by Middy on September 2, 2013
Kryder has come quite a long way since his 2011 single on Musical Freedom “K2”. He has collabed with Tom Staar on remixes for SHM and Afrojack and broadened a sound to put out a diverse range of well-supported singles. This time he makes his eagerly anticipated debut on Axtone with “Aphrodite“, a track that has been a favorite of Sebastian Ingrosso‘s, Axwell and the gang for months now and especially during the summer months.
The funky, rolling bass lines that we saw in those past remixes are back in play, while horns round out the groove. Cleverly crafted piano melodies and synth leads bring a melodic component for a vintage Axtone feel. Upcoming on Axtone is Axwell’s “I Am” with Sick Individuals, which is just too good, and saw its radio premier over the weekend on NRJ Sweden.
