FREE DOWNLOAD: Mosch – Coelho (Simp Remix)
Above is a cool visual that is mixed well into the remix by Simp. Watching it makes me wonder… if we lived in a dimension where time was set to 18,000fps, would we even know the difference? haha, trippy. Anyways, ’til this day I’m still constantly jaded by having a musical taste that revolves solely around simplified beats that are no greater than hip-hop instrumentals. Twisted vocal samples, mingled with subtle sonic arrangements that aren’t so repetitive is all I need. That said, let’s hear some.
A superb new track from Affelaye, previously known as Joe Martin. All I know is that his productions are by far some of the cleanest, well put together beats I’ve heard. Listen below.

Dubstep | Robert Miles – The Children (Deckscar Reworked Mix)
Posted by Sev on February 21, 2013
After months of hard work and countless hours spent on perfecting this track, it is time everyone got to enjoy this amazing piece by Deckscar. Taking a well-known, well loved original by Robert Miles and giving it his dark, heavy spin on it to revitalize a dance music classic. The amount of detail and accuracy is amazing in this rework and the quality of craftsmanship really shows. The first drop is like no style I have heard from any other artist, which is what won me over right away. It doesn’t end their because the second drop is just as wicked as the first with an added mid-tempo twist. This is just the first of many amazing release from Deckscar so be sure stay on the lookout for more upcoming releases soon.
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.

Progressive House | Michael Calfan vs John Dahlback feat. Andy P – Let Your Mind Go
Posted by Middy on February 11, 2013
Michael Calfan burst onto the scene with his debut single on Axtone “Resurrection” that still continues to see the occasional play and John Dahlback has become known for his prolific ability to produce unique tracks. The duo tab Andy P to add infectious vocals to this soaring melody with quick alternating percussion and a grungy build that has John Dalhback’s name all over it. Michael Calfan rarely puts out singles and when he does, they are quality, and when Dahlback puts his name on a track, you are going to hear something new and “Let Your Mind Go” gives you the mix of both of their talents.

Progressive House | Tim Mason – Swoon
Posted by Middy on February 11, 2013
Its second release of the year, Steve Angello’s Size Records has outdone itself once more with this etheral release from Brighton native, Tim Mason. The UK producer who has already released hits like “The Moment” and “Anima” provides us with yet another top flight single. It has been quite a while since we heard something from Tim Mason, but as usual from the Size camp where quality tops quantity, the wait is going to be worth it because the product will not sound like some drivel churned out in a few hours. Tim Mason puts together a well layered melody with sublime synth chords, a simple yet effective arp and a slow, rolling bass line in his inaugural release of the year and one of his strongest to date.

Progressive House | Lift Off #008
Posted by Middy on February 9, 2013
Finally after a little longer than usual break, the 8th edition of Lift Off is here and as per usual we have packed it filled with gems. This Lift Off marks the first official contribution from our new author Malcolm or “Mel”, so look for more great tracks from him. The first track above is the vocal mix of Anakyn’s single “Point Black”, which previously saw a edit from Nicky Romero and adds another harmonic dimension to the track.
Beatport: Anakyn feat. Fabio Lendrum – Point Blank (Love Is Blind)
DubVision are among the best at coming up with progressive melodies and this remix of “Summertime” is no different. They stick to the same winning formula of “All By Myself”, “You & I” etc and deliver a peaktime, big room remix. Would like to see them switch it up a little, but for now it is working.
Paris Blohm delivers this emotional, uplifting track as a tribute to his sister who recently passed away. Female vocals add to the superb melody crafted by the young up and comer.
This remix from the Chainsmokers of Jonsi’s (singer of Sigur Ros) “Around Us” has been incredibly successful with its addictive melody and well placed stutters. This is a must have.
