Preview, Progressive House | Vicetone – Tremble (Preview)
Posted by Middy on July 24, 2013
It has been 363 days since I first posted their first ever releases — a batch of remixes for Adele, Flo Rida and Calvin Harris. Now they are circling the world, playing festivals and getting a release on Protocol Recordings. Vicetone are for real and have been since day one. “Tremble” is vintage Vicetone, with powerful synth chords, and an emotive string-led build, all wrapped into a well-produced track, as always that shows just how polished these guys are. Check back August 5th for the full release.
Electronic, Pop | PropaneLv – Games We Play (prod. by D.Shuts, Slap Disco & Chi Duly)
Posted by Jess on July 15, 2013
Remixer extraordinaire PropaneLv takes a step into the EDM world with his first original release in months: “Games We Play”. The song production, and visual, follow the songs turbulent concept to a T as Lv raps about a roller coaster of a relationship. The fusion of EDM and hip hop creates a very viable pop song for Lv & friends.
Given it’s EDM nature, “Games We Play” will likely be a bonus track on Lv’s upcoming album Varsity Blues. Lv’s camp is also releasing a mixtape of his remixes next week, which have garnered more than 3 million views on YouTube in the last year. Letter To The Industry drops July 22nd.

Progressive House | Imagine Dragons – It’s Time (Lucas Bojakowski Summer Mix)
Posted by Mel on July 14, 2013
I am moderately sick so I will make this quick. I am well aware that remixes of “It’s Time” by Imagine Dragons are plentiful and I even believe a couple have already been posted. That doesn’t matter though, because this one is my new favorite. I have high standards, especially for tracks that have been posted before, so I can assure you that this is worth a listen even if you have a different remix of it you enjoy.

Dubstep, RnB | Ryan Leslie Ft. Cassie & Fabolous – Addiction (Phazz Remix)

Thanks to A, I have become a sucker for Ryan Leslie tracks, but just because I’m biased doesn’t mean this remix from Phazz won’t be one of the sexiest remixes you will listen to all weekend. Of all the artists on this track, Cassie’s comes in the most beautiful on this remix. Phazz did something different than I am use to hearing on instrumentals. He added a bit more bass, giving it a deep Dubstep vibe to back the R&B.

Drum & Bass | A Tribe Called Quest Ft. Faith Evans – Stressed Out (Lewd Behavior Remix)
Posted by Mach on July 11, 2013
As a member of the music blogging world I have seen my fair share of awful A Tribe Called Quest remixes, no one has seemed to understand the importance of verses in Hip-Hop in EDM. You see it everyday in Trap right now. Lewd Behavior didn’t make one of those remixes, in fact the Canadian producer is now responsible for one of the best remixes I have heard of the legendary Hip-Hop group. Life have you stressed out? Me too, but this remix will put your head in a good place.

Preview, Progressive House | Calvin Harris ft. Ayah Marar – Thinking About You (Michael Brun Remix) [Preview]
Posted by Middy on July 11, 2013
Michael Brun has been on fire with his remixes. From his “Your Heart” remix to his “Burn Forever” remix, he makes them count with each one. This one for Calvin Harris’s latest single “Thinking About You” from his record breaking album “18 Months” is no different. He calls upon his signature rolling synth chords and a soaring melody to accompany Ayah Marar vocals. Look for the release August 5th alongside a package that includes Laidback Luke and EDX.
Progressive House | Lana Del Rey – Young & Beautiful (Moiez Remix)
Posted by Middy on July 10, 2013
It has been a little while since I have posted something from the Vancouver native, Moiez, but he has had a great 2013 making his way to the MainStage at Spring Awakening in Chicago earlier this summer, alongside names like the Bingo Players, Dirty South, Nero and Moby. Lana Del Rey has become the Adele of dance music remixes and it leads to some pretty egregious over-remixing, but do give this one a shot with its quick moving key play and a crisp bass line. In the future look for more remixes coming soon from Moiez and an official remix package for “Young and Beautiful” that includes one from Kaskade.
