Electronic | No Limits – Body Full Of Lightning
Posted by Mel on August 16, 2014
Think about the first time a sweet little something special graced the inside of your mouth. They come in a variety of colors and even flavors, but we all know that there is clearly one better than the rest. That’s right, the latest song by No Limits is comparable in quality to an orange Starburst. While not the best flavor, it still holds its own and makes for a pleasurable experience if you feel like chewing something for a minute and a half. If for some reason this metaphor isn’t doing it for you, I’ll word it in a way that’s not stupid. This is probably not their best song but it is still good and worthy of a listen. Even when they make something that doesn’t top their previous release, it is still of a high enough quality that it deserves to be heard.

Progressive House | Lush & Simon Feat. Delaney Jane – In My Hands
Posted by Middy on August 11, 2014
It was only a matter of time before these guys got big. With releases now on Revealed, Protocol, Armada, and now Doorn, the Italian duo continue to show signs of growth and improvement with each passing release. “Hunter” saw them integrate some more percussion based builds, while still returning to their strong suit in melodies. The duo have overcome a change in personnel with Simon being exchanged for another Simon and they have not skipped a beat, giving us the vintage driving melodic sound we know from Lush & Simon here with “In My Hands”.
Electro-House, FYI | Does Every Vinai Song Sound The Same?
Posted by Middy on August 7, 2014
It is a hypothetical question to get your attention because the answer is yes, and here is why. I saw a side-by-side comparison a while ago and didn’t think too much of it, just an isolated incident of two songs that were made at the same time and released over the span of a few months. Then this Magnetic Mag article popped up in news feed today and I realized that this is much worse than I thought. So I decided to some more digging to try and get the full story and man it is rough. They all have the same kick, the same notes, the same Pryda snare at the exact moments in the drop — its almost like if you lined up the songs they would sound like one song. Oh wait, somebody did that and it is somewhat startling to hear the results.
To be fair, artists spend years developing a “signature” sound and once they find it, they aren’t going to deviate too far from it, especially in the early stages of their professional career. However, in this case, you see a cop and paste mentality, where almost no care goes into creating a new complete idea with each song. Instead it is a lazy reliance on what has worked in the past with no attempt to take risks or try something new. Us calling out Vinai for the pretty blatant lack of creativity probably won’t do much to dent their meteoric rise in the last year, that is up to the fans. It is up to them to decide whether or not they want to continue hearing the same song over and over again and the time when they say enough is enough may come sooner than Vinai would like.
Progressive House | Bebe Rexha – Drinking About You (The Chainsmokers Remix) [Preview]
Posted by Middy on July 29, 2014
It is time to turn the page on #Selfie, the disaster that was their appearance on American Idol and everything that had to do with that. The irony of Selfie is that it only made the situation worse. Alas, people are too dumb to realize when they are being made fun of. Time to get back to what got The Chainsmokers their fans who are more interested in the remixed artist then the best Instagram filter for their selfie.
Back with that, they have managed to get music ready for the end of the summer and this fall, despite an incredibly busy summer that has taken them all over the world, with more shows to come, including Electric Zoo. Turning that page they have another single “Kanye” out in a week and then this remix sometime in September.

Progressive House | Tom Staar & Ansolo – Totem
Posted by Middy on July 22, 2014
I told you the story of Ansolo and FNT in my last post so it is incredible to see him with his mentor Tom Staar releasing a tune on one of the most prestigious dance labels around, Size Records. We have seen a return to the bounce in dance music, not just what Melbourne has been doing for quite some time that is making waves across the world, but also groovier bass lines finding their way back into big time dance music. This tune has it all with an irresistible low end and a surprisingly soothing melody all wrapped up with strong tribal influences. It has already hit number 10 on the iTunes dance chart, so grab “Totem” below.
