Progressive House | Special Features – Save The Beat
Posted by Mel on May 23, 2014
Like my good pal and, once again, long time lover Middy has previously said, Special Features has dabbled in many different styles of progressive house music. After his nu-disco influenced remix of the Flight Facilities original “I Didn’t Believe”, he collaborated with Ansolo on “Unite”, a very much club oriented track. He is once again bringing a new style to his music with “Save The Beat”, his latest release. There is an apparently strong disco influence this time and even some “summer vibes” as he says.

Progressive House | Ansolo & Special Features – Unite
Posted by Middy on April 23, 2014
Tom Staar has taken his brand of bouncy house to the next level, establishing a new label to release his own tunes and those of others. The first release from someone else comes from Special Features and Ansolo, who step away from the cheery melodies for something more club oriented and fitting of the label’s ethos. Their melodic capabilities are still shown, but expect a little something different from these two on “Unite”.

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.

Preview, Progressive House | The Aston Shuffle – Can’t Stop Now (Special Features Remix) [Preview]
Posted by Middy on July 31, 2013
It took about 800 edits to get this track just right, but when Special Features got it, he did it right. It has been a slow year for him waiting on remixes to clear and labels to release tracks, but now The Aston Shuffle give him the chance to shine on their remix package for “Can’t Stop Now”. Set for release September 16th, the remix features Special Feature’s bright synths that mesh very well with the original vocals, taking this indie dance track to the dance floor. Look for a Matisse & Sadko remix to come August 30th on Spinnin and a Ta-Ku remix as part of this package on September 16th, with potentially 6 more to come. The original is out now.

Progressive House | Special Features – Illusions
Posted by Middy on April 9, 2013
British producer Eden Anderson, aka Special Features, coming off of his remix of Walden’s “Intropial“, makes his triumphant return to Big Beat Records with his new single “Illusions“. A name who has cemented himself as must watch up and comer, makes his single debut on New York City based, Big Beat Records, which is having a great year of its own with releases like “Together We Are” and the Kill Paris remix of Rudimental‘s “Feel The Love“. “Illusions” provdes much of the same melodic tendencies we have seen in the past with Special Features, using fast paced key work, playful arps and cheery melodies to create yet another outstanding production. On the horizon, Special Features has a remix coming for Ellie Goulding, which knowing her vocal prowess and his production style, it should mesh very well.

Progressive House | Walden – Intropial (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on March 18, 2013
Australian youngster, Walden in the midst of his first WMC, unveils the remix package for his recent single “Intropial” on Big Beat Records. The first remix comes from Pierce Fulton, who strips back some of the big room tendencies of the original and focuses on the groove with a strong bass line and his own simple, yet effective melody that is perfect for the Miami sun he is currently soaking up. Special Features adds his fast paced bright synths to the track that do not stray too much from the original, but still remind us that the young British producer has yet again added another solid remix to his growing discography. Ghost provides a heavy dubstep take on the track, while Dutch duo TV Noise add gritty electro to it.
