DJ-Set, Preview | Escape From Wonderland Live Sets, Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso – Calling (R3hab & Swanky Tunes Remix) Live Preview
Posted by Middy on October 31, 2011
“Calling” is one of the best songs of the year and an EDM anthem. Those types of songs are very difficult to remix because they are so good, but R3hab and Swanky Tunes change it almost entirely and make this absolute beast of a song with driving synth and a heavy bassline. These are the sets from Escape Wonderland over the weekend in San Bernadino, California. The lineup was ridiculous and the Size matters tour was on hand with some great sets. Tracklists after the jump.

DJ-Set, House | Kap Slap & 3LAU – EDM Mayhem
Posted by Juicebox on October 19, 2011
Kap Slap & 3LAU, the current frontrunners of the mashup game, decided to bless everyone with an early Halloween treat and drop an “EDM Mayhem” playlist to help you rage this Halloween. Everything from Swedish House Mafia to Dada Life is covered, even Datsik got a spot on this essential playlist. If I had to pick anyone to make me an EDM playlist, I’d go to Kap Slap & 3LAU first, Tiesto second.

Progressive House | Coldplay – Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (Avicii’s ‘Tour’ Mix)
Posted by Middy on October 19, 2011
UPDATE: Avicii just tweeted this video of a group of guys singing one of his songs to stop a fight from breaking out. Awesome.
Avicii is back with this sublime remix of Coldplay’s “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall” that he has been playing as his opening song in all of his sets this summer and is possibly better than the remix from Swedish House Mafia. He played Studio 54 last night and was labeled “The future of dance music” so maybe he decided to leak this song to public because of that gig as well as a Halloween treat and he because he is close to 500,000 fans on Faceook. Whatever the reason, it does not change the fact that this song is absolutely enormous and something you must have.

Events, Videos | Swedish House Mafia 230911 Announcement
Posted by Middy on September 23, 2011
Swedish House Mafia just made their immensly anticipated 230911 announcement and it confirms much of we have expected. They will be playing Madison Square Garden on December 16th this year and go on a world tour that ends with a massive 9 hour event at Milton Keynes Bowl on July 14th 2012 with special guests to be announced that should be absolutely insane. The tickets go on sale September 30th and they will be capped at $35-$75 for MSG and 45 pounds for MKB so we don’t have prices like the Avicii New Years Eve show ticket prices yesterday. They will also be releasing a new live CD called “One Night Stand” in December with “Antidote” and their remix of “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall”. The CD will also include new solo work from each of the three members. A world tour like this is huge (there is mention of Australia and Brazil at the end of the video) as they are going to rock the biggest venues worldwide as well as releasing a new album with new material. Some more information from Billboard here.
Albums, Electro, House | Wolfgang Gartner – Weekend in America (album review)
Posted by Spice on September 21, 2011
Wolfgang Gartner’s first album dropped yesterday, and let me begin by saying: it does not disappoint. In fact, it’s pretty crazy. It goes hard, he keeps it interesting and creative by incorporating a lot of variety, and virtually every track is high energy in its own right. He manages to bring together catchy, progressive house melodies with glitchy, dynamic, and always heavy beats, for an overall sound that’s somewhere between Skrillex and Swedish House Mafia. While the blockbuster tracks have been out for a while — Space Junk; Illmerica — it’s still undoubtedly worth the download. Basically, this is the kind of thing you want to be dancing your face off to in a dark basement.
There are two different versions available — the “bonus track” version on iTunes, which, as the name suggests, features the bonus track Cognitive Dissonance (which dropped on Hot Topic’s website last week, of all places….rogue), and the extended version which can be found on Beatport. Anyone who really appreciates the unique sound that Wolfgang brings to his tracks will undoubtedly be best served by the longer mixes available for DL on Beatport, so take my advice and hit up the link below.

Dubstep | Swedish House Mafia & Knife Party Preview, Gemini Preview, & Mau5trap Freebee
Posted by Mach on September 18, 2011
Middy posted the Swedish House Mafia Essentials mix just a few days ago, but Knife Party just uploaded this to their youtube page. For those of you that don’t know, Knife Party is the side project of the duo from Pendulum, Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen. It is a little funny how much more popular Knife Party is becoming over Pendulum. There is no set release date of this epic collaboration, but it always a good thing once artists post up studio quality somewhere.

Yet again with Swedish House Mafia’s name present, is an upcoming remix from Gemini, cut straight from his Kmag Mix. It feels right to compare Gemini to the greats, such as Bassnectar and Skrillex, all Gemini needs is a larger fan bass. This track is also not announced yet for release, the track at the end of the preview is “Cloudburn” by Feed Me. Check out Gemini on Facebook. His new EP, “Graduation,” drops tomorrow.

It didn’t feel right not including a full track in a post. This is a sick new freebee from Mau5trap Records. Eyes is a 20 year old producer for Mau5trap, more famous for his bootleg remixes of Ellie Goulding’s “Lights.”

DJ-Set | Swedish House Mafia Essential Selection
Posted by Middy on September 16, 2011
This mix absolutely absurd. It is all three of them in the studio sitting in for the legendary Pete Tong during his Friday night Essential Mix. They do the essential tunes section of it, in which they play the much anticipated Swedish House Mafia & Knife Party Collaboration called “Antidote” (UPDATED with radio rip), this song is searing hot. They also go on to play new tracks from Thomas Gold, Dirty South and Those Usual Suspects, Matisse & Sadko vs Arty possibly and more. They do talk a lot and this can be annoying if you want 2 hours of music to rage to, but you also get to know them as people better and they are actually kind of funny together. The last section is called “Swedish House Mafia vs. Swedish House Mafia”, where they play tracks from up and coming stars such as Thomas Gold and Alesso, as well as playing their favorite chill tracks. Below is a download link as well as the bbc radio one link. Track list after the jump.
