DJ-Set, Trance | Tritonal – Metamorphic I EP
Posted by Middy on March 28, 2013
American trance duo, Chad Cisneros and Dave Reed who call Austin, Texas home follow up their UMF ASOT 600 performance with the release of their new 3 track “Metamorphic I” EP. The duo have just relaunched their radio show in a new platform “Tritonia” as a tribute to the fans who make it all happen, kickstarting a new beginning in 2013. They have developed much of the same complex we have seen with other trance producers like Ferry Corsten, who produce more traditional, albeit genre pushing trance, however their sets and radio shows encompass everything from big room, to electro, to the more traditional uplifters, like the tracks they produce.
The EP shows the many directions the duo can go with their sound, from a more ambient to trance to some more festival ready, hard hitting electro trance. The EP starts with the single “Bullet That Saved Me” featuring vocals from Underdown. The track starts with a smooth, calming build, featuring the male vocals from Underdown and then vaults you into a pitched lead and a minimal, percussive drop that works outstandingly for Tritonal in the live arena. The next track is a total 180 degree switch in energy — the soothing “Bring Me Down” featuring the angelic vocals from Meredith Call brings together a beautiful instrumental of orchestral strings, subtle piano and atmospheric pads that create this very chilled, relaxing track, totally switching up the mood in the EP. The last track on the EP, “Deep Into Black” follows along a similar vein as “Bring Me Down” with a soothing piano melody and choral vocal bits that slowly develop over the space of the song, but never give you a “drop”, just one smooth ride from start to finish.
Metamorphic I” is the first of three, three track EPs to be released this year, so stay tuned to this space for more info on Tritonal. Check out the latest episode of Tritonia below to get a sample of what is to come, which just so happens to be their live set from Ultra.
Progressive House | Hook N Sling & Nervo – Reason (Vicetone Remix)
Posted by Middy on January 4, 2013
Vicetone follow up their breakout 2012 campaign with a great start to 2013, hitting another yet another social media milestone of 50k Facebook fans and with that another free track. This time they take on “Reason” from Aussies Nervo & Hook N Sling, taking a decidedly different approach from the rather aggressive official remix package, building off of the original and adding their illustrious big room sound that would translate so well to an arena or festival space. It is crazy to see how quickly these guys have blown up, but when you listen to how good, clean and precise their productions are, you can’t be that surprised.

Hip-Hop | Ryan Hemsworth – BasedWorld

Of all the songs I thought I would come across today, this was not one I’d have ever expected. After moving and spending hours on my upcoming top 12 of the year. I find it funny that Ryan Hemsworth would release another favorite of mine now seeing as one of his remixes is #8. This is an outstanding orignal from Ryan. The track doesnt spend too much on the intro which I am thankful for. The rest just takes you beyond the world, surfing through space.

Dubstep, Trance | Cherry Cherry Boom Boom – Come Back From San Francisco (Rameses B Instrumental Remix)
Posted by W8 on July 12, 2012
Rameses B occupies a special niche of sound, and consistently stays providing that which my ears love. Reminiscent of late trance submersed in modern dubstep, this track exemplifies a tropical space.
Electro | S.U.C.K. – Pluton
Posted by Mach on April 29, 2012
This track reminds me of The Glitch Mob’s ‘Warrior Concerto.’ It is just an epic orchestral/electro track, the build up of the track is beautiful. Once the heavy electro beat drops, you can almost feel the epic space battle that is taking place within this track. S.U.C.K. did an incredible job despite what their name says.
Videos | Skrillex – Bangarang (Official Video)
Posted by Spice on February 17, 2012
Brand spankin’ new music video for Bangarang, hot and fresh out the proverbial kitchen that is Skrillex’s manager’s Twitter feed. With cherry bombs, some Emperor Palpatine-esque electricity hands (I like Star Wars as much as Skrillex likes Peter Pan, NBD), and a climactic machine gun fight, this latest release is quite in keeping with Skrillex’s past videos — especially since the narrative once again explores the tension between right and wrong. Enjoyable video for an enjoyable song. Keep watching until the end, and be sure to snag the Bangarang EP (and its titular track) if for some reason you’ve been in space since December and don’t already have it.

The 2 song EP tells a story of a trip to space over great pulsing trance tracks.
