House | ID – Rumors (Original Mix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on November 30, 2014
As much as we like to poke fun at Spinnin’ Records, they’re putting out some damn good tunes right now. Earlier this week, Oliver Heldens tweeted about “Rumors” to be released on Spinnin’ Records that’s pitched down vocals future house greatness. This isn’t the first time the track has been featured, as it was played on Oliver Helden’s latest “Heldeep Radio” episode. Who could the track be produced by? I have my guesses, however, I’ll wait until Spinnin’ Records reveals the track.
I wouldn’t want to start any rumors. See what I did there?
Progressive House | Anna of the North – Sway (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Middy on September 24, 2014
Anne Of The North. Hearing “Of The North” immediately transports to the frigid northern climbs of Westeros where the dead walk, giants run rampant and woolly mammoths are not just an exhibit in the museum. But coming back to this world (I know it sucks we have to wait until April), The Chainsmokers deliver a feel filled remix that has the vintage stylistic nuances we have come to know from their past indie remixes. So turn this one up and sway, sway, sway…

Following the Oliver Heldens add a vocal edit to a already fantastic instrumental model, Shadow Child and Doorly enlist an unknown vocalist to lay down a sultry topline that destined for radio.

We can’t wait for the release. Top tune. There’s no question about it. Keep on flying.

Posted by BIGLIFE on September 16, 2014
Building on the success that was “Here Tonight” with Dash Berlin and Jay Cosmic, the dynamic production duo enlists Collin McLoughlin to put his magical acoustic touch on what many have argued was a summer anthem. Re-produced entirely by Collin, this acoustic offering is said to have a video following soon. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next. Support “We Are, Pt. 1” on iTunes now.
Interviews | Eight Questions With Clinton Sparks
Posted by BIGLIFE on September 12, 2014
If you ask five people who Clinton Sparks is, it’s likely you’ll get five different answers. Labeled by many in the industry as a jack of all trades, Clinton Sparks has taken the leap from mixtape king and super-producer to leading man with the release of his highly anticipated “ICONoclast” EP earlier this week. Melding the sounds of hip-hop, rock, and EDM into one “ICONoclast” is a collaborative body of work chalked full of features that only Clinton Sparks could make happen. It’s safe to say he’s on the rise. Rather than ask the standard questions asked of every artist when they’re on a press run, we decided to sit down with Clinton in order to find out what makes him really tick. Prepare to Get Familiar.
BL: You’ve just released your “ICONoclast” EP via Photo Finish Records / Republic. Instead of asking standard interview questions. We’re going to mix it up. Are you ready?
CS: Get Familiar.
BL: Alright, let’s get to it.
House | Michael Calfan – Prelude (Available September 12)

Not sure how I’ve missed this track by Michael Calfan “Prelude,” but with just a few days before the release on September 12th via Spinning Records, I still have time to get myself acquainted with this progressive vocal house gem, and I just made that term up, because in all honesty it’s straight house, with hints of French house and glitch house if I say so myself. Having named the record “Prelude” one can only anticipate that is just the beginning, and I sure as hell can’t wait to hear what more Michael Calfan has in store for us! This is a must listen, get lost to that piano!
