Progressive House | Lift Off #007
Posted by Middy on December 27, 2012
We are back for a special holiday edition of Lift Off with free tracks to keep you satiated until next year. If you are looking for an infusion of fresh tracks for your holiday playlists, we have you covered. We start things off with Australian Kaz James bringing us his latest single “Drums” that gives you a mix of both big room house and tough electro with a well placed dubstep interlude. Also included are some quality remixes from the likes of Ivan Gough & Maison & Dragen.
Beatport: Kaz James – Drums (Incl. Remixes)
Syn Cole, a new name in 2012 and one of the surefire breakout stars in 2013 recently released his remix of Kerli’s “The Lucky Ones” that combines both melodic and tough electro elements into this superb track.
Beatport: Kerli – The Lucky Ones (Syn Cole vs Kerli Remix)
Lift Off veterans, Primacy Funk return with a bootleg of their new piano driven single “Rain” with the vocals of Avidan “One Day”.
My (w8’s) favorite pick of the bunch. Seriously, try to resist the urge to blast this out of your speakers right now. Grab your copy through Facebook.
Richello amalgamates some eclectic club fuel into this candy pop. The best of both worlds. Continue on after the jump for a dozen more free tracks.

It may be a long time in between each Lift Off, but me and w8 try and make it worth the wait with a ton of tracks. We start off with a song from Gina Star who adds a funky, soulful touch to this progressive track with Jonathan Mendelsohn on the vocals.
Beatport: Gina Star & Jonathan Mendelsohn – Tears
At first when I heard this EP, I was not too impressed, but after rinsing it out a few more times, I came to appreciate it more, especially, “Glorious” and “Spellbound” that give us the signature blend of anthemic progressive house intertwined with hard hitting electro stabs.
Following up his last effort in the last edition of Lift Off, Steerner gives us this track led by a pitched synth top line, basking in warm melodies.
Lars still appears to have his fingers fixed on the pulse of good music while he continues in search of a label to premiere this track as an official release.
Merely seconds later we got a double dose of Lars. I bet it feels extra-special to celebrate your 21st birthday with your own track. Most certainly his best work to date, no pun-intended.

We are back with the 5th edition of Lift Off. Me and w8 have provided you with a bevy of quality tracks, the vast majority of them being free — something I know you all love so much. So without further ado get right into it because your ears have work to do. The Hardwell supported, Dannic remix of HELENA’s track with Mr. Wilson “Girl From The Sky” gives us his take on the track, bolstering the melody by giving synths a fuller body and more anthemic feel. The vocal has been released for free, so DJs go for it.

Betatraxx and Morten Breum combine on “Get Static” the first single on Betatraxx’s “Mercury” EP that combines a whole host of different styles from heavy electro to more more subtle piano and string builds. This superb production provides a breath of air with its eclectic sounds.
Primacy Funk gets a two spot on the 5th edition of Lift Off, first with this track that utilizes blissful chords to create this feel good track.
Next up we have the enigmatic Russian Erik Taylor better known to the world as Archie, who has of late failed in some aspects to live up to lofty expectations set by his early productions, but this time he switches it up a little combining guitar with his signature Archie sound.
Next we get into bit more of an emotive melody from Lars, combining infectious vocals with a superb piano melody.
