Events | Henrix @ Mixify Rise Festival 2/14/13
Posted by Middy on February 12, 2013
Mixify is hosting the largest online festival of its kind at the moment with big name Djs like Knife Party, Arty, Deniz Koyu, Tritonal, R3hab, Walden, Adrian Lux, Ken Loi and many more. It kicked off earlier today with Adrian Lux throwing down a superb set and others like Tritonal, Danny Avila and the Stafford Brothers following suit. As I am writing this, Ken Loi is just starting his set, so tune in for that. The festival will continue until the 14th at 9pm. We are sponsoring fast rising talent, Henrix’s set on the 14th from 7-8, so before you head out for a debaucherously romantic night on the town, tune in to Henrix’s 1 hour set filled with hard hitting percussive beats. RSVP to the event below and check out further info on the event including who is playing right now here.

Exclusive, Featured, Progressive House, Videos | Walden – Intropial (Video) [FNT Premier]
Posted by Middy on February 12, 2013
Coming off a string of strong releases to start the year like “Intropial” and his remix The Only’s “Looking Back“, as well as a successful US tour, the Australian producer makes his next release in video form for his latest single “Intropial”. Using the same, unique animation style as his previous single “Ciaco“, this video takes us to a futuristic, Orwellian cityscape that pits a David & Goliath battle between the giant, corrupt Walden Industries who has total control over the citizens through “Identity Cubes” and the small resistance group “Intropial” led by the founder of Walden Industries’ son. It is an interesting backdrop to this great song and provides a welcome relief from the somewhat bland live footage we see in many music videos.
More exclusive info for you guys, Walden will be releasing his next EP “Machine Land” on March 11 just in time for WMC, so be on the lookout for 3 more singles from the young Australian as he continues his strong start to 2013. Also check him out tonight as part of the Mixify Rise Festival over the next 3 days that includes talents like Tritonal, Knife Party, R3hab, Arty, Deniz Koyu & Henrix. Catch Walden at tour dates below including Ultra.

Electro-House | Tritonal – Azuca (Topher Jones Remix)
Posted by Middy on January 19, 2013
At first I was a bit skeptical of how this remix would turn out because I am a big fan of the original, but upon hearing the remix in full, my doubts were alleviated. Topher Jones keeps the same trancey build from the original with the recognizable vocal sample that gives this track its unique quality, while giving it an extra jolt of energy, bringing it to any set and any stage with a powerful, churning electro drop. Tritonal is group going through new beginnings with the rebranding of their “Air Up There” podcast to “Tritonia” that you need to keep your eyes peeled on this year and also be on the look out for a remix competition for Topher Jones’ “Brohammer”, which official remixes by Nari & Milani & Ken Loi were the staples of festival sets for months.

Progressive House, Trance | Armin van Buuren’s 2012 Yearmix
Posted by Spice on January 7, 2013
For some reason I’m only just getting to the magnificent feat of editing and mixing that is Armin van Buuren’s 2012 Yearmix. Armin spent close to a month chopping and refashioning 101 of the year’s top trance tunes into one blissful, continuous two hour mix that aired on A State of Trance at the end of December. Diehards will have already heard this in its entirety, but I’m calling your attention to it now in the event that it got lost in the holiday shuffle because it’s not something to miss. Not only does it provide an excellent and diverse cross section of the year in trance, but Armin’s unparalleled technical mastery is on display to the fullest extent (I cannot stress enough how agile, seamless, and creative his transitions are — if you have any sort of familiarity with these tracks, he’ll have you in total awe in about three minutes). Check it out below and be sure to take a look at the full track list after the jump.
Events | Ultra Music Festival Phase 1 Trailer
Posted by Middy on January 5, 2013
Ready for Miami yet? Well here is the trailer for the complete first lineup announcement after Avicii leaked the original about a week ago. This announcement comes with a few new additions in Rudimental, Disclosure, Major Lazer and Modestep, rounding out what should be an excellent balance of all genres and live performances. The trailer uses “Everyday” so that means that they have to get the melodic master, right…. right? Also something I failed to inlcude last time was that ASOT leaked its ridiculous lineup of Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, ATB, Cosmic Gate, Dash Berlin, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Norin & Rad, Paul van Dyk, Tritonal, W&W, which makes you wonder, when do you ever leave that tent? Hit the jump for the full lineup.
DJ-Set, Dubstep, House, Trance | Weekend Mixes 12/6/12
Posted by Middy on December 6, 2012
This week’s weekend mixes brings you a whole variety from dubstep to trance to house. It is finals time and though you may want one last hurrah this weekend, you will need some music to get down to studying and there is plenty of that here. We start things off with The Drop and this week’s show that includes a guest mix from Max Graham and an interview with W&W where they reveal their next track will be coming out on Revealed. Next up we have the latest two episodes of Tritonal’s weekly podcast “Air Up There” that is being rebranded after its final show this Saturday with the recording of their live show in their hometown of Austin, Texas. Both episodes are 3 hour retrospective episodes, so hit play and go on a journey with Tritonal. Then we have Fehrplay’s December mix to finish out the year that brings some groovy house to the table. After the jump you have Tristan Garner’s fast paced, bootleg heavy set from Queen two weeks back along with mixes from Knife Party, Adventure Club, Arty & Maor Levi. Tracklist as always after the jump.

It is that time of the week again. With rivalry weekend and its impending debauchery coming to many campuses across the nation, here are some mixes to keep the party going from sun up to sun up. We start things off with The Drop and their episode this week that features a guest mix from one of the drunkest DJs on twitter, Maor Levi. Next up we have the Bingo Players’ monthly radio show, Hysteria Radio that features exclusive mashups and their latest single “Out Of My Mind“. Together We Are from Arty has been a great addition to the radio show circuit this year and already in its 20th episode, it continues to showcase lesser known tracks and put together a different and excellent tracklist. Swanky Tunes give their monthly Showland podcast with a guest mix from the Nicky Romero and a whole host of unreleased tracks. The rest of the sets are from Tritonal, Diplo, Steve Angello (short one), Hot Mouth, & Thomas Gold. Tracklists and more sets after the jump.
