South African producer (and one of our DJs to watch in 2013) Protoculture hits it out of the park with “Laguna,” his first original release since his 2012 smash “Perpetual Motion.” A catchy, dramatic hook and ethereal vocals set this track apart from the pack — it’s easily one of my favorites from the A State of Trance 2013 compilation. Though Protoculture won’t be joining The Expedition when it lands in Miami next week, expect to hear plenty of “Laguna” now that the season is upon us.

Progressive House | Hard Rock Sofa – Rasputin

Posted by on March 11, 2013

Making their return to Axwell’s Axtone Records, Russian duo Hard Rock Sofa dole out another hard hitting festival cut sure to make waves in Miami. “Rapsutin” is centered around a slow building churching low end with rapid fire percussion and an ominous interlude, leading into the percussive drop. “Rasputin” is the latest in the recent trend of hard hitting, minimal percussive tracks like “Wakanda“, “Hit It” and going back to “Epic”. It is interesting to see the direction Axtone has taken with their first two releases of the year and it will be something to watch throughout the rest of the year with Axwell striking it solo as the official SHM breakup looms in just 2 weeks.

Less is more, quality over quantity — when Alesso strikes, he makes it count. In his first release of the year, the budding Swedish star remains silent no longer on what he has in store for us in the production front with this remix of One Republic’s “If I Lose Myself”. The remix is vintage Alesso with an easy piano driven build, letting Ryan Tedder’s vocals shine, and an outstanding melody in the break that reminds us why we love Alesso so much. This remix has the potential to be as big, if not bigger than his “Silenced By The Night” remix, so watch out for the April 2nd release on Refune Records.

Artifakts evokes an indie-esq treatment on Trinidad James’s vocals that make him sound like an OC native. I love it! Proof that with the right beat, any vocals can sound new and fun. Don’t believe me, just WATCH.
