Fade away with Thomas Jack’s latest remix of Benjamin Francis Leftwich’s “Atlas Hand.” Currently on tour in North America, it appears that Mr. Jack is still in Australian Summer mode bringing the sunlight and heat to this chili North American Fall weather. One thing I appreciate from Thomas is the fact that he always incorporates actual instruments to his remixes, the violin, guitar and flute make this record. I can only imagine his tracks being played live backed by a live band. One day. This is a must listen and a must download!

Preview, Progressive House | Pierce Fulton Previews
Posted by Middy on November 13, 2013
Generally we have to wait quite a while in between various Pierce Fulton release, largely due to label delays, but now we are gifted with two remixes in as many Mondays. First up this Monday, he is part of the first installment of remixes for Tritonal’s “Now Or Never” with a club mix from the duo. Pierce brings a controlled aggression to the track that contrasts the vocals from Pheobe Ryan. The following Monday, he will be part of the second Dance (RED) album that is partnering with Stereosonic to live stream the event, and brought together Tiësto and U2 last year for a track. “Hey Now” was a summer jam, but Pierce Fulton gives it a melodic makeover fit for his sets and the club setting. The album will features new tracks from Dada Life, Popeska, DallasK, Crookers, Benny Benassi, Tommy Trash and more, and the proceeds will all go to the fight against AIDS. Pre-order your copy here.
Electronic, Trap | Papertoy – The Love
Posted by BP on November 9, 2013
Surprise! I’m writing about another Die High release. “The Love” by Papertoy, from Sydney, Australia, is bouncy and light. It’s got some trap beats, but the synths make me want to put it in just an “electronic” category. The vocal chops are way cool, and the airy feel to the song is fantastic. Papertoy has lots of other excellent trap remixes on his Soundcloud, so check his page out if you’re feelin’ it!

Dubstep, Progressive House, Trance | Krewella – Live For The Night (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on November 8, 2013
Sony and Interscope are dueling for the best remix package this week. Zedd’s “Stay The Night” vs Sony’s (Columbia), “Live For The Night” makes for some big names and great remixes. W&W don’t get enough credit. The sound they help bring into the mainstream has become a bit overused, but they were the ones who popularized it. There are thousands of imitators, but only one W&W and this remix shows that once again. Dash Berlin molds their anthemic trance sound to the track, keeping it accessible, while still remaining true to their current direction. Deniz Koyu & Danny Avila add a somewhat cheesy progressive remix to the bunch, which is very disappointing for Deniz Koyu and you know Avila’s deal. Krewella also remain in genre by tabbing Pegboard Nerds and Xilent to switch things up on the track.
Electro-House | Bon Iver – Perth (Louis The Child Remix)

This remix of Bon Iver’s “Perth” is one of the best remixes of 2013, hands down, and I’m surprised as to why it’s not all over the blogs at the moment. A description of this record wouldn’t do it justice, you’re going to have to experience this record on your own. If you like funk, soulful vocals, and video game sounding synths, this Louis The Child remix is for you! This is a must listen and a must download – guaranteed good vibes!

Electro-House, Progressive House | Zedd ft. Hayley Williams – Stay The Night (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on November 7, 2013
Zedd’s followup to “Clarity”, “Stay The Night” has made its ascent onto the radio airwaves and up the charts with its blend of a complex, musicality and accessibility in poppy dance music. Just as was the case with “Clarity”, “Stay The Night” has earned a huge set of remixes from some of the biggest and brightest names in dance music. Henry Fong adds his own gritty electro flavor to the track in what has been the remix favored by Zedd himself. Nicky Romero plays along with the melody, while DJ Snake opts for a more electro route, rather than 808s he has become known for, and Tiesto switches out the melody for a big room take. Grab the package on Beatport below.
