Electro-House | Oliver Twizt and Sandro Silva – Gladiator
Posted by Spice on April 5, 2012
Oh. Hell. Yes. I’ve been counting down the days until this release and now it’s finally upon us. What is “Gladiator,” you ask? Basically it’s what happens when Oliver Twizt and Sandro Silva light the fuse on about 400 tons of straight up dancefloor C4 (Cfloor?) and then watch as the whole thing explodes. For the record, I’m not exaggerating — I haven’t been able to get this hook out of my head for weeks. Yes, you’re going to have to cruise over to Beatport for the DL. No, I don’t want to hear you complaining. Because at the end of the day, when you’re over at your friend’s place and your iPod’s plugged in and 11:07 pm rolls around and now people are looking to you to take the gathering to the next level, you’re going to want to be able to reach for this one.
Progressive House, Trance | Cosmic Gate Remixes
Posted by Middy on March 23, 2012
First up is Cosmic Gate’s massive remix of Emma Hewitt’s single “Colours”. The single was already given remix treatment by the legend Armin van Buuren, the German trance duo gives it a go with this incredible uplifting, energetic remix, utilizing Emma Hewitt’s stunning vocals to perfection as only they would know coming off of their smash single “Be Your Sound” together.

Somewhat lost in the fact in the release of Cosmic Gate’s remix of “Colours” was the fact that they also released their remix of “Wild & Perfect Day”. They make this track a little more trancey, taking out much of the uplifting synth and piano melody and replacing with a harder trance melody that works just as well. The catchy vocals remain and the bass line becomes a bit more developed.

After jump I included another Cegor remix, which is a great smooth progressive track with a quality piano lead and an uplifiting synth melody.
Hip-Hop | Danny Brown vs. Nardwuar (Interview)
Posted by dshaq on March 22, 2012
Danny Brown’s originality and uniqueness get me every time. Danny has been killing it lately though, with countless features in notable magazines, getting interviewed on Carson Daly and by who else than Nardwuar, and playing SXSW. Danny gives us a brand new song with some raw emotion throughout it. Then on the other hand goes and does one phenomenally hysterical interview with the one and only Nardwuar. Scoop the track and watch the interview. Look for more Danny to come.
Hip-Hop | Ryan Leslie ft. Fabolous- Beautiful Lie (Remix)
Posted by A on March 17, 2012
The big homey, Ryan Leslie, is back at it again. This time, he’s recruited Fabolous to add a verse to his first single, “Beautiful Lie” off his forthcoming “Les Is More” album dropping this summer. Uncharacteristically, Ryan recently opted to shed his previous Harvard pedigree for a more impetuous one, throwing caution to the wind with his new persona despite speaking to disadvantaged chillens’ in Harlem above.
In his newest “Swiss Francs”, which he premiered in the clip above, he raps with Ryan-Leslie-esque brovado: “My passport is stamped out, I need some pages. When I die they gon’ act out my life on movie stages. Got a hired gun motto is protect the chief, keep these haters from schemin’ on this patek philippe.” Hopefully, he won’t be needing to use his newly acquired fire power anytime soon. “Les Is More” is coming soon.
House | Benny Benassi Ft. Gary Go – Control
Posted by Mach on February 28, 2012
First, apologies for all the purchase music we have been posting, these past two days have been insane with the amount of good releases. I had no idea Benny Benassi was even releasing this track today with all its remixes, god I love surprises. Control is an incredible track, Gary Go, the same man responsible for Cinema’s vocals, just perfected another cover. Benny in my mind is a legend, I have heard he doesn’t exactly put on the best live shows, but with tracks like this, I’m still a huge fan. The remixes for this track are awesome themselves, Jacob Plant and Ianizer & Lemethy with the top two remixes. I have started to notice Benny Benassi’s slight attraction to dubstep, if you watch some of his live performances he tends to make a few drops, including his own unreleased dubstep remix of James Blake’s Limit To Your Love. I definitely enjoyed this track and its remixes, worth the listen for sure.
Electro-House | Pierce Fulton – Who Wants Spaghetti
Posted by Middy on February 13, 2012
If you are a Facebook fan you would have seen this earlier, but if not watch this video about Pierce and the life of being a touring Dj and trying to balance that with the life of a student. Still making waves from his highly supported “Pardon My French” EP and his “What Happens In Vegas” remix, the young up and coming American has finally released his single “Who Wants Spaghetti” on Cr2 records. With a pounding bass line, well constructed electro synths with layering of some pitched synths and a few well timed stops, this song is not one to be missed. Dinner is ready so get your Spaghetti.

De-Lor Performs “Luckiest Man” Live @ Venice Beach from JadoreTeam on Vimeo.
Although De-Lor has been quiet as of late, that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been working. De-Lor recently went out to the west coast to shoot his the highly anticipated video for “Beautiful Life.” Along the way, he made a stop in Venice Beach for an impromptu performance to serenade patrons of the boardwalk. Looks like there was one blonde in particular that really took a liking to the performance. As a bonus, I’ve included more behind the scenes footage courtesy of DJ Moneybags. Hit “read on” for more.
