Drum & Bass | Wolftek Ft. Jessika Dawn – Until The End (Vocal Mix)
Posted by Mach on April 19, 2013
I have been a big fan of Wolftek’s Liquid Drum & Bass for quite some time. I think he happens to be one of the best Liquid producers out there right now. This new free single with vocalist Jessika Dawn is breathtaking. I love the use of the XX sounding instrumentals on this, they really carry out the emotion from Jessika Dawn’s voice. Make sure you show Wolftek and Jessika Dawn some love on Facebook, they are more than deserving of it.

Electro | Griz – Gettin’ Live
Posted by Mach on April 4, 2013
The opening of this track is epic, the drop is that and more. Griz did an exceptional job on this. The samples are cool and his synth and bass use is flawlessly exciting and funky. Funky? Oh hell yes, this track takes you to the future on a good old fashioned magic carpet ride. “Gettin’ Live” and gettin’ down.
Progressive House | Ferry Corsten – Rock Your Body Rock (Arty / Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Remixes)
Posted by Middy on March 27, 2013
In celebration of its 100th release, Ferry Corsten’s Flashover Recordings has tagged hot and in-demand producers to remix his 2003 classic “Rock Your Body Rock” – fittingly on the track’s 10 year anniversary. Arty brings back his “Rock N Rolla” styled remix, with the kind of vibes he put to use on his remix of Ferry Corsten’s “Punk” to great effect (and which was a launching point for his career). This remix features the similar hard snares and kicks as “Punk,” adding Arty’s own flavor to the track and carrying the timeless sound of the original to now. The “MainStage” mix from Belgian duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike has been the version that Ferry himself has played most lately, giving the track a modern day festival energy thanks to a tantalizing build and a hard-driving minimal drop that totally flips the script on the original. They both take very different approaches and have their own unique strengths, so take a listen and decide for yourself.

This week I moved away from the melodic/electro dubstep because being in mid-finals grind (my school is on the quarter system), my mind craves melodies that are consistent in vocals, beat, and style. I love huge drops when I’m hitting the gym or out on a run, but when I study I need music that provides the “white noise” needed to block out all distractions. Whether it is a paper, quiz, or midterm, use this playlist to power through those long weeks ahead!
Progressive House | Little Daylight – Overdose (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on March 13, 2013
Continuing their trend of remixing indie songs, quite possibly the greatest producing duo to ever exist besides Daft Punk and pretty much everyone else, The Chainsmokers have released another classic. For those who are unaware of who these two fine gentlemen are, i’ll briefly describe them. Have you ever thought about taking a bath and then realized what a ridiculous idea that is? Or how about when you’re home alone so you use the washroom with the door open but then your dog comes in and just stares at you. That’s what The Chainsmokers are. They’re the dog that watches you pee and the bath you don’t want to have. “Why is that?” you may ask. Well that’s because they think Leighton Meester is a 6.5 and Megan Fox is a 10.
But enough about their inaccurate scale of objectifying women, they just released a new song. They say it’s by far their favorite remix they’ve done and I can see why. I’m not sure if I like it better than their classic “Around Us” remix, but it’s definitely close. It’s in my top 200 for sure. The Chainsmokers have perfected the formula that they’ve used for their previous remixes. As well as having mastered such a rare thing these days, an intro that I actually enjoy listening to, they have a knack for injecting the energy of house music into songs while keeping much of the feel of the original intact. Sit back, click play, and ponder this wonderful piece of advice I was given by the guys themselves “if you’re anything as witty as you are online, you will likely get laid before you die… 😉

Sometimes you just have those bad days and there’s really no way to escape it. It’s easy to turn to the dark side and dwell on whatever that overtaking you. However, I always taught that you are your worst enemy and I’ve always used music as my outlet to relax. If it’s a bad midterm, a stressful group project, or a fight with a girl I’ve always resorted to music to calm me down. I know this is the case for many of you so I created a playlist this week to motivate, invigorate, and revive those good feelings that have been locked away. One of my favorites in this playlist, Firefly by White Panda, helps feel a sense of relief, happiness and return to normalcy. I hope you can use this playlist as an outlet if you are having a stressful day, energize yourself and conquer whatever obstacles might be thrown in your way.
Dubstep, Trap | Hopscotch – Emotion
Posted by Mach on March 12, 2013
“Emotion” is exactly what this new free single from Hopscotch is. It is a melodic blend of purple bass, Trap, and Dubstep, not the usuals we are use to hearing together. With production help from Releece, Hopscotch wrote beauty into this track. Besides how great her voice is, her verses fit perfectly into the “Emotion” that is this tracks instrumental. No date or name set yet, but Hopscotch has announced that she has an EP coming soon.
