Progressive House | Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso feat. Ryan Tedder – Calling (Lose My Mind)
Posted by Middy on February 29, 2012
The much anticipated vocal mix of the summer anthem “Calling” from the Swedish super stars Alesso and Sebastian Ingrosso has finally arrived. With vocals from One Republic’s Ryan Tedder, the song is taken to a whole new level of euphoria and makes this track that was seemingly perfect even better. Alesso & Seb have been playing this out for a little while now and since its radio play on Swedish House Mafia’s second takeover of BBC Radio One, the anticipation built to a fever pitch, but now with its release we can enjoy this gem and add yet another release to both of these producers great careers. This is only the start for these two this year with Alesso making me look smart at the beginning of the year previewing his massive single “Years“, as well as his collaboration with Steve Angello and Seb “Eclipse“. As always Seb has his work with SHM, and their upcoming single “Greyhound“, the aforementioned collaboration with Steve Angello & Alesso and as Refune label owner he will always remain in the spotlight. It is not available for purchase in US right now, but will be soon!

DJ-Set, House | Swedish House Mafia Essential Selection 2/17/12
Posted by Middy on February 18, 2012
Swedish House Mafia took over Pete Tong’s legendary Essential Selection show for the second time last night, revealing some information about upcoming songs and played tracks from a whole variety of genres from progressive to tech to electro to indie. They talk a fair amount about Los Angeles, where Steve Angello has been living and working for the past 4 years and what makes it so special. Deadmau5 came on the show to do a guest mix, talk about what is in store for 2012. They played a fair amount of unreleased tracks, including Alesso’s new single “Years” (above), Nari & Milani’s “Atom”, the vocal version of Alesso & Sebastian Ingrosso’s anthemic track “Calling” now called “Losing My Mind” (below) and Steve Angello’s finished copy of his signature track “Yeah“, which is quite different from what he has been playing out for the better part of a year. They also revealed the name of the new Swedish House Mafia single premiered at Madison Square Garden, “Greyhound“, which is slightly different from the version played there, but it is still an amazing song. Tracklist for the show after the jump.

Progressive House | Hard Rock Sofa – Quasar
Posted by Middy on February 13, 2012
After what was thought to be a much longer wait for the release of this song, Axtone decided to put it up to the fans when they wanted this song to be released and today was the day decided for this absolutely massive song that ever since its playing by Swedish House Mafia at Madison Square Garden has been one of the most anticipated tracks to be released in 2012. Originally 3 members, 2 Dj/producers and 1 singer who worked primarily in a rock band, Hard Rock Sofa has evolved ever since the singer left with the two Dj/producers to make the massive electro / progressive songs that they have become increasingly famous for making. “Quasar” takes them to the next level with a build that almost lulls you to sleep and then an insanely powerful drop that hits you like a ton of bricks. This widely supported track is definitely going to be a keeper from the rising Russian duo.
Electro | Scott Summers- I Am Scott Summers (Mixtape)
Posted by GMONEY on February 6, 2012
When P from H-Town sends tracks over, I know it’s something serious. I’m not even a big remix guy, so you know this mixtape is solid. Scott has been producing and song writing for over 10 years and has a knack for banging out hot originals (and models). His influences include RedOne, Max Martin, and Swedish House Mafia. Not a bad lineup if you ask me. Below, I’ve included my two favorite cuts from the project (one of which Interscope picked up as the official remix) as well as the link to the entire project.

Preview, Progressive House | Swanky Tunes, Matisse & Sadko – The Legend
Posted by Middy on January 18, 2012
Swanky Tunes & Matisse & Sadko deliver on this much anticipated release from Refune Records that is the first of many such big releases in the beginning of 2012 on the members of Swedish House Mafia’s respected labels. With a sensitive, smooth build that gradually crescendos with increasing intensity into a break of pulsing synths and pounding bass. Swanky Tunes is prepared to have a massive year with releases such as the above video of their collaboration with Hard Rock Sofa and Matisse & Sadko are as well with their collaboration with Arty “Trio” due out sometime soon, so do not forget these names at all. Get this on BEATPORT.

Electro-House, House | Tommy Trash & Michael Woods
Posted by Sev on January 16, 2012
We previewed Tommy Trash’s remix to Antidote a while back and ever since then the wait has been killing us. Finally the Antidote Remix EP was released yesterday and I couldn’t have been happier with this track. I am always curious to see what new sounds Tommy Trash is going to use in his tracks, and the filtering synth sound he uses in this track has got me hooked. This one definitely takes it for me over the original.

Michael Woods newest remix of Funkagenda’s Shinjuku is fire. Seven minutes of pure house music eargasms courtesy of Michael Woods. This synth build up intro into an almost deadmau5 style transition worked well in his favor.

House | Wild World vs. Watch the Sunrise (Egesten Bootleg)
Posted by GMONEY on December 29, 2011
Swedish DJ Oskar Egesten newest bootleg has all the makings of a great house song: infectious bass, dirty synth work, and sick melodies. This is one of the many gems in his thirty minute house set “Egesten Sessions 11” featured below.
