DJ-Set, Events, House | Kaskade @ Coachella 2012
Posted by Spice on April 25, 2012
Were you at Coachella this year? I wasn’t able to make it (you know, minor details like living on the east coast and all), but Kaskade just uploaded his full set from the festival and it’s making me feel like I was there. The best thing about this set is that he primarily played original material, so it’s packed with many of his uplifting and high-energy mashes. Well worth the listen and the download. Read on for the full tracklisting.
DJ-Set, Progressive House | Sebastian Ingrosso Refune Radio #03
Posted by Middy on April 8, 2012
Sebastian Ingrosso is back with the third edition of his world renowned podcast Refune Radio. It is the WMC edition so he actually plays a part of his own live set from the Refune night at Amnesia on Saturday night during WMC. He plays a section of Swanky Tunes’ set from the Refune night as well, which includes their collaboration with Tiesto, to be released on April 24th on Club Life – Volume 2 Miami, “Sending My Love”, the massive “Roll The Dice” and the anthemic Third Party remix of “Otherside”. Seb provides a very good set with songs you would expect from him and of course unveiling a new track, the Thomas Gold remix to “Miike Snow’s “The Wave”, which will be released soon on Axtone. Miike Snow tracks are a favorite of house producers and the remixes are usually quite good and Thomas Gold lives up the high expectations with this one. He also adds unreleased gems such as “Atom”, to be released tomorrow and “Metropolis” to be released on Wednesday.
He talks about Miami and some of his experiences there including going to various parties in Miami and meeting all sorts of Djs out including Afrojack at dinner where he got his new number, which is apparently harder to get than a private jet, and the Dj soccer game between Netherlands and Sweden, which Netherlands won 13-11. Tracklist after the jump.
Electro | Basic Physics – Island of Gold
Posted by dshaq on April 5, 2012
Now I’m lingering away from my hip-hop roots by posting electro, but it was pretty easy to distinguish this track as a banger, and that it had to go up. Basic Physics takes the likes of Thomas Gold, Pendulum, R3hab and Swanky Tunes, and others, and works his magic to provide us with this gem. Great transitions, good buildups, dirty drops, what’s not to like about this. Scoop the track and be on the lookout for more Basic Physics.
DJ-Set, Progressive House | Hard Rock Sofa & Swanky Tunes – Apogee
Posted by Middy on April 2, 2012
Russian groups Swanky Tunes and Hard Rock Sofa have combined again to make the track “Apogee” and yet again they make another huge song. This was their WMC track and it has been supported by all the big names. With a driving bass line, an uplifting, moving synth melody in the break and a well crafted ensemble of pitched synths and kicks and claps in the build this is one you need to get. This may be the biggest production together to date from these guys and shows the continuing rise of Russian house music. Also included is the Swanky Tunes Miami Music Week mix with the hottest tracks out right now.. Tracklist after the jump.
Progressive House | Laidback Luke, Arno Cost & Norman Doray – Trilogy (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on March 12, 2012
Laidback Luke, Cost & Norman Doray – Trilogy (Original Mix) was an outstanding track in its own right with each of the producers having an influence on the track and putting together a key vocal as part of the melody. The remixers all do what you would expect from them with Swanky Tunes bringing some high energy progressive house to the track, Sebjack pounding out some heavy electro house synths, GTA, sticking to the name of their “Big Room” remix and creating a fantastic big room house remix, and Sam O Neall & C6 providing an electro remix with a heavy guitar melody. The original mix still remains essential, but these remixes are nice additions to the collection. After the jump I added a banging original track from Bassment Bros, a Dj trio from the University of Maryland, that combines pulsing synth chords, an uplifting melody, and a pounding bass line with some female vocals. DO NOT miss that read on button.

Electro-House, Progressive House | Dirty South & Thomas Gold ft. Kate Elsworth – Eyes Wide Open (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on March 7, 2012
Dirty South’s label “Phazing Records” has released the remix package of his huge single with Thomas Gold and Kate Elsworth “Eyes Wide Open”. Lenno, the young Finnish Dj that Pierce Fulton mentioned would be a guy to watch out for, provides a remix with much of the original melody, while adding a funky, groovy touch to the song that gives it a different vibe and a refreshing change of pace. Felguk sticks to their electro house signature, throwing some heavy electro synths into the drop, while maintaining much of the uplifting melody of the original track. After the jump I included Dirty South’s March mix and the tracklist.
