Videos | Anthony Alexander – Leaving Me Broken
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 23, 2014
I love the internet. Every once in a while, you’ll find a gem. Anthony Alexander, a soul singer from California, covers Collin Mcloughlin’s “Broken” from his famed Tears Of Tempo EP with impressive results. While the video only has a few views, I’d keep a serious eye on this young crooner. He’s got serious potential. Did I mention Collin McLoughlin has been killing it lately? Yeah, I’d keep an eye on him too. You’re leavinnnng me brokennnnnn brokennnnn brokeennnnnnn. Still a tune.
Dubstep, Electro | Fox Stevenson – All This Time EP
Posted by Middy on May 26, 2014
Internet sensation Fox Stevenson has released his much anticipated EP “All This Time”. The singer / songwriter / producer does it all, making the beats that range from drum n bass to cheery, melodic electro to dub and then writes and sings the slight angsty vocals on the tunes. The four track brings a lot of variety and shows a rare talent that sings and produces his own music in the dance realm. Make sure you pay special attention to “Out There”.

Progressive House | Vicetone ft. Chloe Angelides – White Lies
Posted by Middy on March 28, 2014
Vicetone have attached their energetic progressive sound to female vocals, like those of Nervo’s in remixes, but not yet in an original. With their return to their label, Protocol Recordings, they tab LA based singer Chloe Angelides to lay down some angelic vocals over their hard hitting, yet melodic instrumental. It has been almost 2 years since they released their first tune and it is wild to think how far they have come. To try and predict what is to come in the next two would be a fools errand.
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, RnB | user601586061 – Superfriends.
Posted by VMan on February 17, 2014
“Ohh baby baby, we can be superfriends!” that’s what “Superfriends.” ‘ about by anon singer/producer user6015866061, whom you might notice uses the same logo as the track I posted last week from the mystery submission I featured “Miss Jackson.” Much in the same vibe, this one has a 2014 electro-r&b-trap Rick James feel to it that’s going to have you 1-2 stepping and singing along in a falsetto voice. I almost want to recommend this track if you’re trying to pick up that special somebody, playing this record might boost your confidence and release that inner lady’s man! This is a must listen!
Chill | Lucia – Days (Paul Gilmore Remix)
Posted by VMan on February 5, 2014
UK producer Paul Gilmore hits us with an indie deep house remix of 19 year old singer Lucia’s “Days” that will get you in the vibe in no time. The remix makes the original production more lively, and seductive, who’s playfulness could work for the dance floor. If you’re looking to get lost in a colorful melancholic moment for a few minutes, add this one to your chill/ambient playlist. I also suggest you check out more of Paul Gilmore’s music on his SoundCloud, and get that free download! This is a must listen and a must download!

Take an hour and 23 minutes out of your day and watch this video. Seriously do it. It features a full string ensemble, drums, a full compliment of singer, and even a guy sweeping the floor (just watch). Of course, Tony, Paavo and Jono are showing off that they are more than just guys who hit play and drag and drop presets, but real musicians. It is a fresh and beautiful take on their own material, from Ocean Lab to “Group Therapy”. The album comes out tomorrow and if you knows whats good for you, the purchase will be made. We also will have a nice giveaway to accompany it. Pre-order the album here.
