Progressive House | Kaskade & Thomas Sagstad vs. Morning Parade – Under The Stars
Posted by Mel on March 20, 2014
Roughly six months ago I messaged a Swedish producer by the name of Thomas Sagstad and asked what he was planning to do with his remix of Morning Parade’s “Under The Stars”, of which had been sitting on his Soundcloud for months with no signs of an impending release. “Long story boss, but I may still do something with it. We’ll see” is what he replied before sending me a copy of it. Having known all this, it came as quite the surprise when I saw that Kaskade’s name was also on it and it is just now being released as a free download. I have listened to the original remix many times and this collaborative one multiple times as well and can tell you that this remix is about 80% Thomas Sagstad’s. The main melody and most of the chords are his. With that said, this version is better. Kaskade has changed the structure slightly as well as given the song, and especially the build more energy. The mix is also significantly better here. This release has been a long time in the making but it’s finally out.

Alternative, Ambient, Chill | Prelow – Simple Song
Posted by admin on March 15, 2014
A month or so ago, we premiered to you a soft-spoken indie group by the name of Prelow. The NYC-bred duo is back with their newest release entitled, “Simple Song”. Staying true to its name, “Simple Song” doesn’t employ dozens of layers of instruments or vocals, but rather strips it down the excess and provides a song beautiful for everything that it’s not.
Prelow is a promising new name in indie music not only for their vocal prowess, but the self-production that has captivated over 15,000 listeners over the past five days. Enjoy a free download and stream below.

Posted by Mel on March 13, 2014
In his first release since his collaborative efforts on “Colors”, Paris Blohm has taken on the task of remixing Seven Lions and Myon & Shane 54’s “Strangers”. The remix has his typical full sounding production which keeps itself in the pleasant middle ground between the uplifting sound and the harder hitting stuff.

Indie, Progressive House | Chromeo – Jealous (I Ain’t With It) (The Chainsmokers Remix) [Preview]
Posted by Mel on March 11, 2014
The Chainsmokers keep their stream of official remixes coming with their own take on Chromeo’s “Jealous”. They ease into it in this one with first two sevenths of the song being carried by piano before letting the energy flow for the rest of the track. This is already the duo’s seventh release of the year and they just keep on impressing. The song will be available April 4th on iTunes.
Electronic | Zedd Feat. Matthew Koma & Miriam Bryant – Find You (Moiez Remix)
Posted by Mel on March 10, 2014
“Why would I need a girlfriend when I’ve got this small gap in my couch” is something I occasionally ponder and the answer is companionship. You can’t take a couch to the beach. A similar question of “Why would somebody remix a Zedd song when the original is so good” is also a thought I have whenever I listen to a Zedd remix. A large majority of the time they are inferior to the original, but that is not necessarily the case with Moiez’s remix of “Find You”. Moiez’s style has always primarily been progressive house, although he has strayed from that here. He says he wanted to challenge himself to become a more versatile artist and make something original. The result is a song that incorporates elements of multiple genres. He says this is one of his favorite remixes he has done and after taking a listen, you’ll understand why.

Chill, Electronic, Hip-Hop | Radical Something – Long Way Home (DJ BIG RED & Icebird Remix)
Posted by admin on March 10, 2014
In Radical Something’s newest song and video, we see a whole new side of the California-based band. Their in-house producer/drummer/DJ, Big Red, cooked up an EDM remix to the band’s song “Long Way Home”. The song certainly makes their upcoming tour with Krewella seem a little bit more fitting. It is clear they are trying to merge fan-bases and expand the musical tastes of Rad-So listeners.
Enjoy the song and video and be sure to get Radical Something back in your playlists as the Spring begins to heat up!
Trap | RL Grime & What So Not – Tell Me
Posted by mimada on March 7, 2014
All the What So Not collaborations we’ve seen hinted at across social media the past couple weeks following the Aussie festival season and prefacing the American one are *finally* coming to light. But even before the release of this RL Grime and WSN love child, it was pretty obvious that this would be a huge track, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Remember how that “Jaguar” track made you feel a very special type of way? Well this one is like that, but times 10. Each drop gets bigger and bigger throughout the song, so much so that I’m embarrassed to even be listening to this off my laptop as these speakers can hardly do it justice. Hopefully you can do better – like, this much better.
