Electronic | Porter Robinson – Sea Of Voices
Posted by Middy on March 2, 2014
We have been hearing about the album “Worlds” for quite some time now, and finally we have a peak at what it will sound like. Porter has repeated in interviews that it was not going to be like his other songs, but something more musical, a listening album. He released no music last year and still got even bigger in profile, a testament to the quality of each of his tunes. If his past work and “Sea Of Voices” is any indication, the album is going to be one of the best this year, without a doubt.

Albums, Trance | Markus Schulz – Scream 2 (Album Review)
Posted by Middy on February 27, 2014
Somehow, in between the marathon sets, constant travel and acting as a label head, Markus Schulz has found the time to release the follow up artist album, his fifth, to his 2012 effort, “Scream“. The DJ and the producer go hand and hand for Markus Schulz as what he makes has to be ready for a set that could last up to 12 hours, something he does more often than most. This album, like “Scream” delves into the more melodic side of his sound, but injects bigger and trancier melodies than the first edition. Stream the songs from album in a special episode of Global DJ Broadcast below, grab the CD, and watch the 25 minute behind the scenes documentary that goes into how the album was made, the stress of deadline day and details on the various collabs.
Indie, Progressive House | Strange Talk – Young Hearts (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on February 26, 2014
The guys behind such wisdom as “If she is good on top, don’t ever take that for granted…” and “you should seriously consider creating some alias, maybe like mr jerkalot or something” (they said that to me in an email like 3 months ago don’t worry about it) have released yet another song, this time a remix to Strange Talk’s “Young Hearts”. You have undoubtedly heard at least some of their stuff before so I’m not going to explain their style again because I have been doing it every couple of weeks for months now. This has their classic sound and is once again a great remix. Also, they have broken their string of official tracks and released this one for free.

Electronic | Madeon – Cut The Kid
Posted by Mel on February 25, 2014
Everybody is aware of Madeon and his wonderful abilities as a producer. He doesn’t release tracks often but when he does they are always outstanding. In an effort to tide his fans over, he is releasing a song he made a few years ago for free. “Cut The Kid” upholds the high quality that we are use to seeing from the young Frenchman and has the same unique sound his productions always do.

Progressive House | Flight Facilities – I Didn’t Believe (Special Features Remix)
Posted by Middy on February 22, 2014
Special Features has been dormant for quite some time, hidden away in the lab concocting some fire that is finally ready to be shared to the world. His tracks are constantly being held up by labels and various other delays, but at last he is able to unveil his latest remix as a free download. Special Features has dabbled in many different styles of the progressive house, from an upbeat, nu-disco influenced sound to a more synth oriented sound. With his remix of Flight Facilities “I Didn’t Believe” he fuses the two with a cheery, bright synth lead in a strong melody. Grab the freebee below and hopefully we will get more from Special Features in 2o14.

Albums, Electronic | The Glitch Mob – Love Death Immortality (Album Review)
Posted by Middy on February 21, 2014
Innovative electronic duo, The Glitch Mob have released their sophomore artist album “Love Death Immortality”. Following up their 2010 effort, “Drink The Sea”, Ed Ma “edIT”, Joshua Mayer “Ooah” and Justin Boreta “Boreta”, reinforce their standing within their own unique, niche electronic space that they have helped carve and have steadily grown with each passing release and show. The album shot all the way up to number two on the iTunes overall album charts, showing not only the dedication of their incredibly passionate fan base, but also the mass appeal that their sound has garnered despite it not being mainstream or commercial in anyway.
Indie, Progressive House | Bastille – Flaws (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on February 19, 2014
There’s not really anything left to say about The Chainsmokers or a song of theirs that hasn’t already been said, so I’m going to write a paragraph saying all those things again anyway. The follow up to their godforsaken awesomely cool original “#Selfie” is an official remix for Bastille. Their version of “Flaws” has the same light progressive house infused with indie sound that many of their previous stuff does so if you’ve listened to a song of theirs before then you should know what to expect from this. The release date is currently unknown though if I were to have a guess, I would say either some time relatively soon or possibly later in the year.
