Progressive House | Daddy’s Groove – Stellar
Posted by Middy on January 14, 2013
The lyrics say it all — this one is f*cking stellar. I have wanted this one badly for the past several months with it being played in just about all of the prominent Dj podcasts. Italian trio, Daddy’s Groove ditch their recent gruff electro style and go for a more radio friendly sound with an easy guitar build and infectious melody, combined with the simple yet effective vocals that make “Stellar” destined to be a chart topping hit. With the final edit seeing some variation from the promo we have been hearing for the past few months, look for this one to remain fresh for quite some time.

DJ-Set, House | Weekend Mixes 11/15/12
Posted by Middy on November 15, 2012
It is that time of the week again. With rivalry weekend and its impending debauchery coming to many campuses across the nation, here are some mixes to keep the party going from sun up to sun up. We start things off with The Drop and their episode this week that features a guest mix from one of the drunkest DJs on twitter, Maor Levi. Next up we have the Bingo Players’ monthly radio show, Hysteria Radio that features exclusive mashups and their latest single “Out Of My Mind“. Together We Are from Arty has been a great addition to the radio show circuit this year and already in its 20th episode, it continues to showcase lesser known tracks and put together a different and excellent tracklist. Swanky Tunes give their monthly Showland podcast with a guest mix from the Nicky Romero and a whole host of unreleased tracks. The rest of the sets are from Tritonal, Diplo, Steve Angello (short one), Hot Mouth, & Thomas Gold. Tracklists and more sets after the jump.
Chill, Electro, Electronic, Mainstream Remix | Duncan Sheik – Shout (Tears for Fears Cover – Chi Duly Remix) ft. Rachael Yamagata

The remix master, Chi Duly, drops his latest killer masterpiece on us. After Duncan Sheik released the debut track off his album, his manager reached out to the remix god Chi Duly to put his own spin on it. Shout became the first single and it’s currently making radio rounds on the adult contemporary circuit. I don’t quite know how involved I am in the “Adult Contemporary Circuit” but what I can tell you is that this track is extremely pleasing to the ear and is something you’ll want to have in your iTunes. Give it a listen below and buy it on iTunes here.
DJ-Set | Weekend Mixes 11/8/12
Posted by Middy on November 8, 2012
This week we have an outrageous amount of mixes. There is music for days. Not really, more for hours, but you get the point. We start things off with Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman’s weekly radio show and their upbeat selection and melodic mixing, which is an element that is missing from many podcasts. Next up our friends over at The Drop had Tritonal on for an interview and for guest mix duties in a trance heavy episode. Avicii just released the 8th episode of his Levels podcast, which featured the vocal version of “Nicktim”, which to be pretty honest is pretty awful and gave the radio premier of Henrik B’s upcoming track “Voices”, which in contrast is outstanding. Much like the label itself, Fool’s Gold Radio brings you an incredibly eclectic tracklist and with A-trak on the decks, the mixing is through the roof. The rest of the mixes come from Walden, Laidback Luke, and another from The Drop. Tracklist as always are after the jump.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep | ShockOne – Chaos Theory
Posted by Sev on October 21, 2012
ShockOne has unleashed one of the biggest Dnb tunes of the year. Chaos Theory has probably been the highlight of so many sets ever since its first appearances about a year ago. I remember first hearing this tune in Knife Party’s set at ‘I Love Techno’ and thinking it was an unreleased Pendulum track because of its similar style. Nevertheless this track is an outrageous club anthem that just goes off, and I can say that after experiencing it live many times. The EP also consists of one clean radio edit, one dirty radio edit,a drumstep remix, and a dubstep mix as well. Grab the EP off of Beatport HERE.
Pop | Play-N-Skillz ft. Pitbull – Richest Man (Sidney Samson Remix)

“Today is the day you said to me you’re through…” -Skillz
Just a matter of months ago, two-time Grammy award winning production duo Play-N-Skillz released their single, “Richest Man” featuring Pitbull and G4 Muzik artist Shelby Shaw. Perhaps one of their most infectious songs to date, “Richest Man” details the rise and fall of a tumultuous relationship that’s made notable waves across national radio. Building on their momentum, the Grammy boys recruit Dutch DJ Sydney Sampson to remix their single, serving as the first leak off their highly anticipated “Sunglasses + Advil” project coming soon. Be sure to support their “Richest Man” single on iTunes below.

Hip-Hop | Ab-Soul – Nibiru (Prod. by JMSN)
Posted by W8 on August 16, 2012
It’s a rare moment to hear this level of awareness being conveyed to this demographic. A track like this comes less often then Nibiru transits. Ab-Soul made the entirety of the track quotable, and JMSN came through with a quality beat. I breathe this knowledge, and it feels like yesterday I was tuned in to the live radio show at the end of this track. I appreciate the lyricism although certainty of any kind bothers me. You know some thoughts and words, me too! Imagine it’s all fiction if that helps. Thanks goes to Anu.
