Progressive House | Arias – Deepfield
Posted by Middy on June 7, 2014
It is remarkable what Arias has been able to put together in these past two years. Tunes like “Majoris”, “Andromeda” and “Solar” are all one of a kind incredible and you can add his first single of 2014, “Deepfield” to that mix as well. The first vocal track from the Parian in a MINUTE, Arias brings that signature big progressive sound that s found in so few records today. Even bigger for Arias is his record on Size Records, “Footsteps” with Greg Ceronne, which Steve Angello has been playing heavily ever since Ultra. Watch out for the renaissance of Arias.

Progressive House | SHM + Laidback Luke – Leave The World Behind (Outmode Bootleg)
Posted by Middy on June 1, 2014
Promising young Gotherberg duo, Outmode have released their remix of the quintessential late 2000’s prog tune LTWB. A robust and bouncy remix, Outmode add their own unique spin on the tune that takes a more groove oriented approach, while still much of the original genius shine through. Similar “Freak Me Out”, their latest single which was championed by Kryder, they draw from their “quality house” sound, adding very promising Swedish faces to the genre their country helped pioneer.
Despite being only 19 years of age, they show maturity in their productions beyond their years and a diversity in sound that is rare for producers their age. It’s not a matter of if, but when these guys break out on the international stage. Now is the time to say you were there when it all began.
Electro, Progressive House | Calvin Harris – Summer (Elephante Remix)
Posted by Mel on May 15, 2014
It was not long ago that I would be driving around with my window slightly down (enough so that people could hear the music, but not enough as to make people think that I wanted them to hear the music) with Calvin Harris’ “Summer” on repeat impressing the heck out of all the girls I’d pass. That impresses them you can trust me. Especially Punjabi people. The original is probably in my top 10 of the year so far and will therefore make any remix I hear of it not sound all too well in comparison. Elephante’s remix, however, does sound well in comparison. It has some electro elements in addition to the usual progressive that his songs consist of, which differentiates it significantly and provides an interesting take on the original.

Electronic, Trap | Alison Wonderland – I Want U (Prod. by Djemba Djemba)
Posted by mimada on May 7, 2014
A little late on this one but in case you missed it last week, Aussie vixen Alison Wonderland dropped her latest track titled “I Want U,” produced by none other than Djemba Djemba. This track exhibits Alison’s sultry sound perfectly paired with DD’s basstastic flair. The visual pairing is, might I say considerably dark, and may throw you off at first but will eventually make you want to strobe the lights and behave erratically in your bedroom as well. Turn it up.

Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Hard Rock Sofa On Album “Most Important Thing For Us At Moment”
Posted by Middy on May 6, 2014
Hard Rock Sofa need little introduction. Though their rise to prominence has only been in the past 3-4 years, coinciding with the dance music boom Stateside, they have been making music since 2005. Approaching a decade of making music and it appears that they are hitting their stride (take notes kids, this does not happen overnight, unless you buy it), making tunes in a wide variety of sounds and styles.
We were supposed to sit down and chat with them the third day of E Zoo, but well I think we all know what happened. But we got the chance after “Arms Around Me” released to chat with them, so of course we did. We got to chat about their latest single “Arms Around Me” that was just released on Axtone, the impact of Sergey (the former third member of the group) leaving, their upcoming artist album and much more.
Dubstep | Seven Lions – Worlds Apart EP
Posted by Middy on May 3, 2014
Whenever Seven Lions releases new music, you immediately stop what you are doing to take a listen. His sound is so unique, enthralling and well put together that every time you hear new something him it is a totally different experience. Recently signed to Universal’s burgeoning dance imprint Casablanca Records, which has artists like Tiësto, TJR, Martin Garrix and Chase & Status in its stables, Seven Lions was given access to top of the line topline writers like Ellie Goulding and Kerli.
All five tunes show the mastery of Jeff Montalvo and the hard work he has put in over the winter break he took from touring to focus on just making music. The aforementioned Ellie Goulding kicks off the EP, featured on the first track. It is fitting that someone whose career is largely owed to producers remixing her songs, Ellie Goulding, hopped on this EP to provide her instantly recognizable vocal talents to the trancy opening tune, “Don’t Leave”. Only “Strangers” is a previously released track, with each record having its own feel and sound, yet remaining true to the Seven Lions ethos. This may be his most complete EP to date and this will hold us over for quite some time as we know the perfectionist takes a while to release material.

Crnkn has been killing everything he touches for the longest time, whether it was his Diplo and Friends mix, any of his massive remixes, or his shows which I was privileged enough to go see in Indy. Today he releases a brand new remix to Banks’ Bedroom Wall and tries a new spin on it. Featuring a more deep house sound, the track is very groovy and offers a different yet fantastic new sound from Crnkn then we’ve heard from his other stuff. This one definitely needs to grace your ears so peep it below and grab the free download.
