Interviews | [Exclusive] The Rise Of Collin McLoughlin
Posted by BIGLIFE on March 18, 2014
We remember when we first received an e-mail from Collin McLoughlin. It was 2010, and he contacted us with a single submission. We were instantly impressed. In fact, we can still remember where we were when we heard his voice. We knew then that Collin McLoughlin was destined for greatness. While the Collin’s road to success has taken him to places like NBC’s “The Voice”, he’s on a new mission. Since July of 2013, Collin has been releasing a slew of impressive remixes and originals that have gained support from just about everyone in the blogosphere. Collin’s profile is quickly rising, so we decided to check in with him to talk about how a Youtube cover singer from New York became one of the most talked about names in the melodic bass world.
1. Forgive me for asking, but how did a guy that was knocked out in the second round of NBC’s “The Voice” become a successful melodic dubstep producer and DJ, essentially out of nowhere?
It took an incredible amount of dedication and hard work. I’ve learned everything I know about production from various online tutorials, Youtube, and trial and error. I also have had some good friends like Carlos Cid who have given me tremendous advice. That said, the majority of my DJ and production knowledge has come from an insane amount of hard hours spent teaching myself.
Electro-House, Melbourne Bounce | TJR ft. Benji Madden – Come Back Down
Posted by Middy on March 7, 2014
Melbourne bounce has hit the mainstream of dance music and you can put a lot of the blame or credit on TJR’s shoulders. It is obviously more nuanced than that, but as the sound continues to evolve, TJR’s tracks have been some of the most played in festival sets around the world for the past 12-18 months and it is from a weird, niche genre. His latest sure-fire hit single “Come Back Down” adds male vocals for a bit of a harder rock vibe to the bouncy, agressive bass line that comes with a TJR tune. Expect to hear a lot of this in Miami and beyond.
Electro-House | Futuristic Polar Bears – Back To Earth
Posted by Middy on February 6, 2014
Possibly the best name going right now in dance music, UK trio Futuristic Polar Bears release their powerful, grounding festival production “Back To Earth”. First unleashed by label boss Hardwell at TomorrowWorld, this has already become a weapon in many DJ sets, including W&W’s recent ridiculous ASOT 650 effort in Russia. I have not been this excited about a tune in this style since Blasterjaxx “Fifteen” came out in September, so don’t over think it and grab the track below.

Dubstep | Crywolf & Ianborg – Stay
Posted by BP on February 5, 2014
Whenever I see Crywolf or Ianborg put out a new track I already assume it’s going to be beautiful. Seeing those two names together definitely made me excited to take a listen, and I was not disappointed. Melodic dubstep with emotional vocals sets the stage for “Stay”, a new single from the two creative artists. The track still has enough bass to please bass lovers like myself, and clearly these guys are no strangers to making gorgeous melodies. I can hear the styles of each artist loud and proud in this single, and it makes for a truly high quality piece.

NYC duo, and Penn State students Apollo hit me up with their latest remix of Mike Posner’s “Please Don’t Go,” and although I can’t say I’m a fan of Mike Posner, this remix is making the original sound epic, literally everything works in this progressive big room mix. If you’re looking to get an adrenaline rush through your ears, and bring the festival to the comfort of your home, press play, Apollo’s remix will not disappoint. DJs take notice, this is one for your sets! This is a must listen and a must download!

Preview, Progressive House | AN21, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman – Rebel (Preview)
Posted by Middy on January 7, 2014
It has been close to a year since “Rebel” was first premiered by AN21 on the One Last Tour in Montreal and then received its first radio play from Steve Angello on his essential mix later that month. Both AN21 & Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman had quiet years in 2013 on the release front, concentrating on DJ sets and getting plenty of music ready for 2014. For Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman “Rebel” is only the beginning of what should be their best year yet that will include “Payback” alongside Steve Angello, which may come sooner than you know. The full version of “Rebel” will hit Beatport on January 20th courtesy of Size Records. Not a fan of modern art, but the artwork on this track is pretty baller. Big ups Size.
