Posted by on November 15, 2014

We Are All We Need - Ronski Speed edit

For all those DJ’s who have been on the lookout for that perfect remix to Above & Beyond’s ‘We Are All We Need’ stop your search because we’ve found you a better alternative. Ronski Speed is no stranger to the Trance world, known for his hard hitting sounds and inspirational melodic beatservice. He’s added a little spice to the track by inserting a bass-heavy intro so unexpected its sure to drop jaws left right and center. On top of it, he’s got so much respect for the original that he left it untouched, increasing energy levels once again following its breath-taking melodic progression. This Mash hasn’t lost its Anjunabeat’s touch so for those of you looking to keep Group Therapy vibes consistent throughout your sets, here’s a new addition.

Albums | A Sense of Wonder by Dan Sieg

Posted by on November 8, 2014

[silka015]-cover
A Sense of Wonder is an album entirely dedicated to our generation of lovers, adventurers, and dreamers. It is an album that inspires, musically narrating tales of victory and defeat caught in between simple moments and complex realities. It is an album that innovates, as Dan Sieg demonstrates he’s unafraid to play with our emotions by experimenting with both the uplifting and dark sides of progressive trance. He reminds us that curiosity doesn’t always lead to a sense of discovery – it can bite you right back. Released by the titan’s of progressive trance and house, Silk Royal Records, A Sense of Wonder can be commended for defining “Progressive Trance,” as it is truly a work of art.

Dan Sieg hasn’t always gone by this moniker. He paved his path into progressive trance as Dan & Sam (Sam Wilkinson) and after showcasing the timeless “Walls” with sensational vocalist Maxx Hennard (an XM Electric Area 52 favorite), the floodgates had opened. Dan couldn’t slow down. He released over 30 originals and remixes in the past year, all in lieu of perfecting A Sense of Wonder. Indeed, Dan’s 17 years of musical endurance, which started with guitar at age 8, is vividly displayed in the depth of the chords here – every pluck, bass line, build up, and transition is strategically placed to create this front to end masterpiece.

Every track has its story. Some are the product of empty nights filled with endless streams of thought, others a reflection of friends and memories made in unexpected circumstances. The album starts with the uplifting “Iris” and permeates the path for the journey we are about to begin. A Sense of Wonder plays with our emotions, bringing us summertime sadness with a track like “Gloom,” and then elevating us back to cloud 9 with “Erko.” He even curates a rendition of techno with the clever “Techbruary,” a track that took me completely off-guard when first blessing my speakers. The album has received support from artists of all kind, with “Welcome To The Alley” being showcased on Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy episode 99. A Sense of Wonder concludes with “Horizons,” a progressive track that soundscapes all five senses to attention. Dan Sieg has become imprinted permanently as a progressive trance guru with this glorious release, so be prepared and grab a parachute, because grounding yourself is not an option.

Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman - ID2

Following up a tune of “Payback’s” magnitude would have been impossible for most, but Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman have found a way to do so with ease. As Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman’s 4th release on Steve Angello’s wide respected Size Records, “ID2”, the duo show once again their remarkable ability to create powerful and emotive melodies that are fit for the biggest of stages. The duo continue on their restless pursuit of perfection with each track, as they create a perfect blend of intricately layered synths and a punchy bass line destined to get a crowd moving.

“ID2” is now available for streaming worldwide on Spotify as well as for purchase worldwide on iTunes, Amazon and all other portals.

With loads of new music set for release from the hard working duo, including the often requested “ID1”, now bestowed the name “Survivor”, “Zonk” and a collaboration with a certain Staar UK producer, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman show no signs of slowing down as the sun sets on the Swedish summer.

House, Trance | Weekend Mixes 7/24/14

Posted by on July 24, 2014

tomorrowland 2014 FNTI used to these a lot, but life got in the way of me continuing these, but I am back to provide your weekend soundtrack of mixes and sets. Since the weekend starts on Thursdays during the summer (and for many, year-round), I decided to get these to you now so you get going on your way tonight. It will be a mix short on mixes, but high on the quality, highlighted by two from Kristain Nairn, aka Hodor. The Steve Aoki mix is actually kind of dope, there wouldn’t be any cakes thrown to those tunes. Read on for the rest of the mixes.

Events | Get Stoked: Ookay x Tropkillaz @ Regency San Francisco, TONIGHT

Posted by on July 11, 2014

Ookay

Okay, so it’s about that time of the year where work is pretty much at full-tilt and the novelty of it being summer has just about completely worn off. It’s about that time of the year where you have things planned for later, but right now, you’re just kind of sitting on your ass, waiting for an opportunity to let loose and really get down into that summer groove. Well, if you’re from the Bay Area, that opportunity has finally arrived: class-A trap troll Ookay and Brazilian heavy hitters Tropkillaz are hitting up Regency Ballroom this evening.

This show is going to be absolutely nutsOokay, a seasoned performer, fresh off the stage at EDC Vegas, will no doubt throw down one of the craziest live sets you’ll see this year. He’s also got a pretty sweet sense of humor that he somehow manages to factor into his sets. My personal favorite was when he trolled an entire venue with “Martin Garrix Had A Farm” – see the video evidence below.

As for Tropkillaz, everyone knows things are just a little more edgy in South America. You can count on something massively twerk-tastic from this Sao Paolo-based duo. It’s a bit NSFW, but if you want to see an example of a Tropkillaz show, go and check it out HERE.

So, before it’s too late (because it will get to that point), go and grab your tickets HERE. It’s time to get wild and say you actually did something this summer.
