Chill, House | The Him Goes Big On New Original “Feels Like Home”
Posted by VMan on December 7, 2015
The Him is the perfect symbol for what the chill house movement has become, representing this unique balance between chill, pop, and dance that hits the spot and makes the scene shine. The duo caught my eye a couple of months ago when their Chainsmokers remix went viral.
Last week, the Amsterdam duo dropped “Feels Like Home.” A warm original that sweeps you up and takes you along for the ride. A synth fused with a cut-up vocals sample makes up the drop – a fantastic highlight of the single. From the fine-tuned instrument choice to the overall sunny vibe of ‘Feels Like Home,” it’s clear The Him have hit a home run.
Twerk | 4B And AAZAR Keep Festival Season Alive With New Single “POP DAT”
Posted by Juicebox on November 12, 2015
4B is Mad Decent’s latest promising talent to emerge with some all-star collaboration to make sure dance music fans have him on their radar. Already, he’s remixed Fetty Wap with Flosstradamus, collaborated with Mercer on “Bounce,” and now teams up with AAZAR on “POP DAT.” Luke’s classic single “I Wanna Rock” receives a vocal placement in the track to set an energetic mood, but once 4B and AAZAR let their terrifying jungle melody run free, it’s clear these two are not letting the cold weather and festival season’s end get to them. Fans of trap, jungle terror, twerk, jersey club, and other bass-heavy genres will want to check this beast out, and the duo is giving away “POP DAT” for free via Mad Decent so cop a copy here.

This coming Monday, Black Butter will be making their first official foray in the birthplace of techno, Detroit, with its party on Monday, May 25th at Populux, where Gorgon City, Kidnap Kid, MK b2b Lee Foss, Dantiez Saunderson, Loud Luxury, and Admn will all be gracing the decks. For a UK label, the significance of this is very special as it is a time to prove themselves in a place where dance music roots run deep, and fans are well educated in underground spheres and beyond. Rather than Black Butter’s Detroit showcase being thought of as a judgement day of sorts, it’s more of a display of artistry that can be enjoyed by the masses. In celebration of the party, we’ve put together a showcase to highlight the top talent that will be guiding the Populux crowd to underground dance music enlightenment. Check it out below and grab tickets to the party here.
• Gorgon City
• Kidnap Kid
• MK
• Lee Foss
• Dantiez Saunderson
• Loud Luxury
• ADMN

Mix | Tchami – Diplo & Friends
Posted by BIGLIFE on November 25, 2014
I like Tchami. I think he’s a force to be reckoned with and a serious breathe of fresh air for the dance community. Many don’t know that’s been producing for a while, and has co-production credits (along with DJ Snake) on “Turn Down For What” and Lady Gaga’s “Do What You Want” record. That’s no joke kids. You don’t produce those records without serious connections and proven production prowess.
I pump Tchami’s tires to say this: I wasn’t a big fan of this mix. My expectations are so high for this guy that it just didn’t live up to what I expected given his previous mixes, which were all gold. His DAD mix? Gold. His Thump mix? 24 Karat. Social Club in Paris? Cash for Gold. It doesn’t matter what I think. I’ll let our readers decide. Did this mix do it for you?
Be sure to catch Tchami on his European tour fall run. Details here.
Progressive House | Anna of the North – Sway (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Middy on September 24, 2014
Anne Of The North. Hearing “Of The North” immediately transports to the frigid northern climbs of Westeros where the dead walk, giants run rampant and woolly mammoths are not just an exhibit in the museum. But coming back to this world (I know it sucks we have to wait until April), The Chainsmokers deliver a feel filled remix that has the vintage stylistic nuances we have come to know from their past indie remixes. So turn this one up and sway, sway, sway…

House | Asino – Streetwise
Posted by BIGLIFE on August 9, 2014
I think Work records has themselves a tune. The Netherland’s Asino himself claims that he was born on a planet whose name is impossible to pronounce. In fact, he claims he was sent here long ago by a guild of Annunaki that secretly run his homeworld to make the sickest beats known to man and all other habitants of the five main galaxies. True or not, “Streetwise” comes out August 11th on Work Records.
