There are not many progressive house tracks that come out these days that are good enough to get me to move from where ever I am, usually your mother’s house, into my bed (where I write all my posts) to write a post about it. This track however is. Moiez has been a regular here for a while now so I’m sure most of you are aware of the type of stuff we are used to hearing from him. When I first heard “City On A Hill” I was blown away at how good it is. Everything from the vocals to the slow key play to the atmospheric drop is great. This is without a doubt Moiez’s best work and I hope he can manage to hold the quality of his future releases to the same level.

Albums, Compilation | EDM: Every Day Matters Compilation

Posted by on November 9, 2013

The Every Day Matters Compilation is truly amazing. It is a 78 track compilation – that’s right, 78 – with all the proceeds going to charity. The charity being supported is SportRelief, which provides shelter to young people living on the streets and who are victims of domestic abuse in the UK. Worldwide they help with giving education, fresh water, and life-saving vaccines to people. Even though there is such a large volume of tracks, the quality is not sacrificed and it hits multiple genres.  Many well known artists are on it, including Rameses B, Arkasia, Droptek, Felxprod, RoughMath, Feint, TwoThirds, Televisor, T-Mass, Varien, PhaseOne, SirensCeol, PrototypeRaptor, Veela, NCT, Biometrix, Bustre, Muzzy, Subformat, Insan3lik3, Dexcell, Karanda, Elliot Berger, Direct and many more! Some of my favorites tracks besides the ones posted below are the tracks by Neutralize, Soundnet, and Arkasia. But seriously, they are all really great tracks and although the compilation is $16 USD, (£9.99 GPD), you’re definitely getting your money’s worth.  If you want to learn more, you can check out the promo video for the compilation here.

On Saturday, November 2nd, the Ed Banger world tour will be making a stop at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC with a cast of Busy P, Breakbot and Justice (DJ set).

Albums, Drum & Bass, Dubstep | Rameses B – Timeless EP

Posted by on October 28, 2013

You can always count on Rameses B to release top quality work. This EP, called “Timeless”, does not disappoint. It features two drum and bass tracks, one more ambient track, and one melodic dubstep track. Being the chill music lover that I am, I’d pick “Never Forget” and “Underwater ft. Meron Ryan” as favorites, but really all the tracks are great. Check it out on Beatport below!

Check out this new rock infused progressive house record “Young Forever” by California producer Justin Michael featuring vocals from Phillip LaRue. Justin Michael names his style “Rocktronica” and if I were to compare his sound it would be Switchfoot meets Swedish House Mafia. This was sent in via submission, and this is quality music, so I’m sharing it with you guys, enjoy! Must listen and get that free download!

Tajan has been absolutely killing it lately with his quasi-ambient, hip-hop spin on tracks. His newest remix of Black Bear’s “Laid Out” is absolute quality, and will definitely give you the feels. The original (which can be found HERE) is already a solid track, and with Tajan’s influence, becomes an even better listen. Oh, by the way, he’s only 17. Make sure to take a listen below.

Alternative, Pop | SomeKindaWonderful – Police

The 3 piece band from Cleveland, Ohio, SomeKindaWonderful sent over their GTA V inspired lyric video to their latest track “Police” and this is quality music. The sound is some kind of modern reggae mixed with soul and rock.  Fun fact about this group, the lead singer Jordy Towers was signed to Interscope for a few years as a rapper, until he was dropped because he didn’t give in to industry demands to change his style. Could the camo butterfly logo be the symbol behind his transformation as an artist and what’s to come? I think it’s Interscope’s loss with this one, this band is the shit! Must listen!
