Electro-House | Vandalism & FTampa – Yes
Posted by Middy on December 15, 2013
Vicious Records label boss, Vandalism teams up with one of the most talented members on their artist roster, Brazilian producer FTampa to create the festival sized track “Yes”. It has been heavily supported by Dutch wunderkind, Martin Garrix, lending to its festival ready nature, and should see some play as the outdoor dance music events head down under. It has been an outstanding year from FTampa, and look for that to continue in 2014. Remixes come in from Orkestrated & Fredy See.

Progressive House | AudioFun feat. Sean Declase – Come Together (Vocal Mix)
Posted by Middy on December 22, 2012
Manchester native AudioFun, makes his return to leading Australian imprint Vicious, tabbing Aussie Sean Declase, who has a voice reminiscent of Mitch Crown, with the infectious vocal track “Come Together”. AudioFun provides uplifting progressive melodies and dextrous key play that mesh impeccable with Sean Declase’s addictive vocals. With its anthemic sound, this track is meant to be played loud and often.

Electro-House, House | LAZRtag – Let Me See Those Hands (Hot Mouth Remix)
Posted by Middy on July 26, 2012
Hot Mouth, One half of LA Riots, has released his remix of LAZRtag’s single “Let Me See Those Hands” using a distorted hip hop vocal sample that helps carry the percussion based build into a hard drop of horns and pitched synths. This song is a great change of pace from your normal progressive tracks and modern talking / massive pack electro house tunes that I enjoy, but a change from time to time is always good. Check it out on Beatport below with the original mix and a nice Moombahcore mix from ETC! ETC!.
Also included are two originals from Hot Mouth with Chris James of “The Veldt” fame on vocals that gives us a build based around a guitar melody and Chris James’ vocals, with a drop of funky, chopped electro house stabs that are perfect for a club. Federico Scavo gives the track more of a tech twist, which works very well as it is a song that lends itself to a tech remix.

Progressive House | Franz Novotny – Big Bang (Incl. Remixes)
Posted by Middy on May 16, 2012
Franz Novotny is yet another Swede who is ready to make waves in the house scene this year and beyond. Big Bang out now on Vicious Records, a label known for getting young talent before they blow up such as some of Avicii’s early work, has already been heavily supported by Morgan Page and Kaskade, as we saw with the very successful “Be Still Big Bang” mashup last year that was taken down due to copyright issues. The original mix builds with a big room sound with echoing synth chords and quick snares and then drops into a sharp rhythmic break, perfect for the festival atmosphere. The Digital Lab is my favorite of the package varying the build a bit with the rhythm of the drums and synth chords but keeps much of the same feel, but the break is much different with a thumping bass and driving low end synths and layered pulsing big room synths in the second break. The young Frenchman Maxime Zarcone provides probably the most interesting of the remixes with much of the original big room build and then a much different break with a variety of different types of synths, piano and percussive elements combine to create an organized chaos that is very enjoyable. Also Mr. Novotny promised to go streaking through Stockholm if he failed to release 15 tracks this year, so we look forward to 14 more sir.
