Ambient | Brisbane’s Best: Grand Pavilion “Weightless”
Posted by Gandhi on May 28, 2015
I met Grand Pavilion last year while staying at a hostel in Prague. The two-member, uber-talented group hails from Brisbane, Australia. I spent some time looking into the band and their live setup blew me away. Shades of Robert Delong. Here is the single from their debut EP released last year. I reconnected with the band and plan to start following them more closely as they have another EP coming out very soon. I am super stoked about the upcoming release because the group was traveling around Europe last year recording audio samples everywhere from the Black Forest to the crowded streets of Paris.

Albums, Electro, Electro-House, Electronic, House, Progressive House | Hardwell releases single ‘Eclipse’ from upcoming album, United We Are
Posted by Juicebox on January 13, 2015
After dominating the dance music scene for the past couple years, fans have been eagerly awaiting Hardwell to release a debut album and last month the Dutch pioneer announced the full tracklist for his debut LP, “United We Are.” To begin the monsoon of anticipation, Robbert van de Corput has released the first single titled, “Eclipse,” of which he played for Miami at Ultra Music Festival 2014.
Although deep house is having its time in the spotlight currently, Hardwell sticks to his guns and maintains his signature big room sound that fans have grown to love. The main stage veteran sends shivers down listeners spines from start to finish with classical strings, ear-numbing basslines, and expertly aligned synth harmonies to exhibit his musical mastery. This is the first taste that will have fans fiending more as we inch closer to the album’s release.

Calvin Harris just dropped another single “Open Wide” featuring Big Sean off his upcoming album Motion, and after 1 listen, this collaboration is ace! Both going through public break ups, it’s obvious who they’re taking shots at, and it’s about time we get an anthem for the men, this women power thing is cool, but it’s time us dudes empower ourselves as well. This track is HOT, it’s a must listen!

House | Premiere: Morcheeba – Make Believer (Dave Davis Remix)
Posted by Middy on August 26, 2014
UK veteran hip hop, soul / house trio Morcheeba have been riding high on the release of their 8th artist album last year and now with some more big singles and potentially even bigger remixes from the likes of Timo Maas and others. One of these upcoming remixes takes their 2013 single “Make Believer” and adds a different, stripped down spin on the tune from fellow UK artist Dave Davis. He brings his own sound to the tune with chunky synth stabs over atmospheric pads and a steady bass line, all letting Skye Edwards vocals shine. We have the premiere of the tune, so stream it here until it comes out.
