Trance | Estiva – Stratos
Posted by Middy on September 21, 2013
Generally, established producers don’t just drop tracks for free out of the blue. They wait for some social media milestone or a holiday to say thanks to the fans. With “Stratos”, Dutch trance producer, Estiva didn’t feel the need to wait for some moment to celebrate, but rather decided to gift his fans now with a free track. The quality is just as high as any of his other tracks, and with “Dinodrums” still rocking sets and the Beatport charts, it is great to see this from Estiva.

Progressive House | Dave Winnel & Chris Arnott – Remember To Breathe (Original + FTampa Remix)
Posted by Middy on September 18, 2013
The names Avicii, Dirty South, Vandalism, Kryder and Angger Dimas probably all mean something to you. They are all artists who Vicious Recordings helped discover and released their tracks well before they hit it big. Names like D.O.D, Dave Winnel and FTampa may not be as big now, but they are guys on the current Vicious roster who are set to do the same. Dave Winnel’s “Achtung” got a ridiculous amount of DJ support from the likes of Axwell, Alesso, Arty, Sebastian Ingrosso, Porter Robinson, Tiesto, Tommy Trash and, well you get it. FTampa’s “Kick It Hard” became a late season favorite, notably championed by Hardwell and then powered its way into many other sets.
On “Remember To Breathe”, Dave Winnel goes for a more melodic, big room approach than his past few works, calling upon Chris Arnott to lay down some superb vocals. FTampa takes the song to another level, working with the original melody and adding his own complex, melodic key play to the track, accentuated by Mr. Arnott’s vocals. Also included is a Dave Winnel remix he did last month.

Progressive House | AN21 & Max Vangeli vs Tiesto ft. Lover Lover – People of the Night (Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman Remix)
Posted by Middy on September 16, 2013
The good guys of Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman are finally here with a release in 2013. The duo are no stranger to big remix requests, like their Miike Snow remix and they take full advantage of the opportunity on this one. The original was a much more melodic effort from AN21 & Max Vangeli as they got ready for their album, but Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman inject their own big-room flavor to make this track relevant once again and put it right back into DJ radio shows and sets, as we enter the last few months of the year. Coming up, at some point, they have their second release on Size, “Rebel” with AN21 and many more.

SundayStudDay is back again this week with another Lu Balz production. Sampling the hit track “Royals” by Lorde, it sets the direction of the track. Personally, this is one of my favorite #SundayStudDay tracks that has dropped in this series. Mike and the Tourings Boring crew kick off the Fall tour on September 27 in NYC. If you haven’t already, you can grab tickets for the tour below!

When in doubt, refer back to the list — we’ve definitely got something for you.
Progressive House | Lana Del Rey – Young And Beautiful (Kaskade Mix)
Posted by Middy on August 26, 2013
Kaskade is back with KMM, and he is back with a vengeance. Instead of rehashing an old remix, or giving out a bootleg he has been using in his sets, he is now releasing his highly sought after remix of Lana Del Rey “Young And Beautiful” that he has been finishing his sets with. Now that this has been released for free, it is the waiting game to see what happens with the Cedric Gervais remix and the stunning Myon & Shane 54 Summer Of Love Mix, which may the best of them all.

Events | The Worst Lineup Conflicts At Electric Zoo – And How To Handle Them
Posted by Middy on August 22, 2013
Waiting for festival schedules to drop is always a funny thing. On the one hand, you’re antsy for set times because you want to start planning your weekend. On the other, you know that when the announcement comes it will invariably serve to confirm all your worst fears about lineup conflicts — terrible, unspeakable conflicts which will surely force you to choose between two or more of your favorite artists. Such conflicts have been known to divide friend groups, start arguments, and lead to tears. Okay, we’re being dramatic, but you know you totally feel us. Electric Zoo is no different, so check out what we think are some of the most glaring and painful conflicts of the weekend — and our advice for dealing with them — after the jump.
(Note: one thing we do know is that those who enter Sunday School Grove probably won’t be racing out to hit the mainstage at many junctures during the weekend, so there aren’t too many conflicts to contend with there. Not bad, eh?)
