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.

Progressive House | Dirty South & Thomas Gold feat. Kate Elsworth – Eyes Wide Open
Posted by Middy on January 23, 2012
The sequel to the 2011 summer/ second half 2011 anthem “Alive” has finally arrived with the same cast as “Alive” with Dirty South and Thomas Gold providing a sublime instrumental and Kate Elsworth laying down beautiful female vocals that fit perfectly in the song. As first premiered at Pacha NYC on 11/11/11, just as Walking Alone was first played at Electric Zoo and then given its first radio play on Radio One with Pete Tong, this song has seen a measured rise to prominence and is sure to be one of the first huge singles of 2012. The song has the same type of incredibly smooth and uplifting synth chords with an outstanding melody that you cannot help but feel amazing when you listen to this song. Dirty South and Thomas Gold are both woefully underrated, so hopefully this will help them garner the attention they deserve in 2012.

Electro, Progressive House, Videos | Adele – Someone Like You (Thomas Gold & Mark Mendes Bootleg), Digitalism
Posted by Middy on November 3, 2011
Everything about this video is perfect, from the grandma to the dog to the dance to the background and the music, just everything. Somebody get these guys a gig in Ibiza or Vegas.
Thomas Gold & Mark Mendes gave out this bootleg of Adele’s “Something Like You” for free and it is great. It may not be as good as Thomas Gold’s massive remix of “Set Fire to Rain” but it is close. It keeps a lot of Adele’s magical vocals with a smooth piano lead into a synth and bass drop.

Here is the Digitalism remix of “Syndicate” the video game theme that Skrillex took on a few months back. Digitalism gives us a heavy electro interpretation of the song with a varying keyboard melody.

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 | 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.

House | Thomas Gold, Dillon Francis, Afrojack, Laidback Luke, Michael Canitrot
Posted by Middy on June 20, 2011
If you get these songs you may be able to rage as hard as the Bruins did after they won the Stanley Cup with a $150,000 bar tab?! Here is the Thomas Gold remix of Adele’s Set Fire to the Rain. Nice to hear a different Adele song being remixed for once. The drop takes a little while so be patient.

Dillon Francis does it again with this Moombahton banger. The drop is silly good.

Here is an Afrojack song that came out a week or two ago, but I didn’t really like it that much at the time. The more I listen, the more I like the song and it shows Afrojack’s versatility with the different styles in the song.

Laidback Luke puts his spin on this classic. He makes it heavier and possibly a bit more awesome.

OK so call me a fool, but here is a summer anthem. I don’t take the word “anthem” lightly, but this song has every ingredient for it. A great, catchy beat, infectious vocals and a joyful, uplifting vibe. The remix adds a little to the the beat and has less of the vocals, still a banger though.
