Progressive House | Jakob Liedholm – Ocean, Eli, Beautiful (Remix)
Posted by Mel on February 21, 2013
Jakob Liedholm, one of our artists to watch in 2013, recently hit 10000 likes on Facebook and as way of saying thanks, he has given away three of his tracks for free. Keeping consistent with his signature style, all three of these tracks are the type of cheerful, uplifting tunes that you would come to expect from him. Ranging from the unique use of guitar throughout “Eli”, to the high energy build in his and Tim Norell’s remix of Parker Ighile’s “So Beautiful”, to the amazing, bigroom drop in “Ocean”, these are all must listens. If you enjoyed any of these tracks be sure to give him a like on Facebook if you haven’t already.

Electro | Parker Ighile – So Beautiful (Tim Gunter 808 Bootleg)
Posted by dshaq on February 6, 2013
As always, Tim Gunter delivers another phenomenal piece of music. This time he goes for more of the laid back mood in his electronic track. Taking Parker Ighile’s great vocals and adding beautiful synths with a good bass line and the 808, Tim is again showing his versatility. I keep saying it, but watch out for Timmy Gunter. He’s got beats for days.

Progressive House | Syn Cole – April
Posted by Middy on February 4, 2013
Estonian producer Rene Pais, now known as Syn Cole or in the trance world as DNS Project, having ditched his Clashback moniker, is set to make his single debut on Avicii’s LE7ELS imprint with his track “April”. As one of our 13 to watch in 2013, Syn Cole combines gritty, complex electro, a quick alternating bass line, with strong synth play and pitch lead. The progressive mix takes a little of the edge off with a stripped back second drop for those of you who want a little more of an uplifting sound. Having already shown his prowess on the remix front and trance fans are already quite familiar with the DNS Project name, having played ASOT 550 in addition to numerous releases on Armada, Coldharbour etc, it should be no surprise that the quality will be there from the get go, as we see with “April”.

Hip-Hop, Pop | Leaf – Naked & Wasted [Mixtape]
Posted by Jess on January 27, 2013
Introducing Leaf, an extremely talented artist who is one to watch in 2013. The 17-year-old New York native just dropped her debut mixtape entitled Naked & Wasted in which she raps and sings over a selection of Electronic, Trap and Pop productions. She even goes in over Carnage’s incredible remix of “Spaceman”. Some of my favorite tracks off the tape include “Running”, “Spaceman”, “Lie To Me” , “Can’t Say No” and “Wreckless”. Read what she had to say about it and stream/download it below.
“Naked & Wasted stands for Naked Emotions & Wasted Youth. The title is a mock at society and the culture of my generation at the moment. Everyone follows the same trends, music is only taken at face value (& made to sell) and if you don’t break it down for the listener they’ll never take advantage and look deeper then they should. Naked & Wasted is a compilation of electronic music, trap beats and R&B/Pop vocals. Melodies and lyrics written completely by myself it is truly an open diary of my life, how I feel and how I’m sure many others do as well. The mixtape embraces the typical struggle of any human being dwelling on this earth. Though it may dabbles in pop melodies & synthesized beats it is not just another party anthem.” – Leaf

Progressive House | tyDi & Maison & Dragen ft. Toni Nielson – Walk On Water
Posted by Middy on January 22, 2013
The track originally started out as just tyDi & Toni Neilson working together in an NYC studio, but thankfully Finnish duo Maison & Dragen were added to the mix and added the energy and big room intensity it needed. The track wastes no time getting to the chase with a powerful opening that slowly tails off into a smooth piano build, letting Toni Nielson’s magnificent vocals shine, ushering in an anthemic, driving synth laden drop. Of the packed music Monday we had yesterday, this may be the gem of them all. Watch out for Maison & Dragen this year, they will be making some noise. “Walk On Water” is part of tyDi’s “When I Go” EP that features 4 originals and an outstanding remix from Arnej.
