Electro-House, Preview | DallasK – Heaven (Preview)
Posted by Middy on July 13, 2013
DallasK has quietly had himself an outstanding year with several critically acclaimed originals like “Alienz” and “Vice“. The Kindergarten Records signee and Wolfgang Gartner understudy presents the preview to his latest original as he approaches a significant social media milestone in his young and promising career. As a thank you to his nearly 20k Facebook fans (he is at just over 19k now), he has previewed a track he will be giving away when he hits that number. In this age when artists can explode in popularity overnight and their social media numbers explode in kind, many do not want to give out very good material because these milestones come too often. From what we can hear in the 51 seconds of “Heaven”, it sounds as though DallasK is giving out a quality addition to his discography, using a well-placed Killers sample.
Electro-House | Autoerotique & Felix Cartal – The Alarm (Charlie Darker Remix)
Posted by Middy on June 8, 2013
Canadian producer, Charlie Darker has been slowly rising in fame and stature since he was taken under the wing of Wolfgang Gartner last year with his “Atlantic / Pacific” EP signed to Kindergarten Records. He has been busy releasing a slew of remixes and originals since then, padding a growing discography, but few compare to what he conjured up here.
Charlie Darker keeps the “alarm” sound from the original, while adding a driving low end, to give the track the power and stamina that it lacked originally. This remix saw its fair share of plays during WMC and has been heavily supported by Hardwell. This remix has already seen its fair share of support, but look for that to increase this summer. The remix will also be featured on Hardwell’s Revealed Records 4 Compilation, set to release June 21st.

Posted by Spice on March 6, 2013
With his latest release, Wolfgang Gartner demonstrates that he’s willing to separate himself from the pack and do something a bit out of the box. “Anaconda” is a bouncy, funked-out jangle of a track, replete with “Space Junk”-esque leads and house-inspired riffs. It’s a fun and high energy journey from start to finish that is sure to get you moving.

Electro-House | DallasK – Vice
Posted by Middy on February 26, 2013
21 year old Orlando native, DallasK, flexes his production muscles again with his debut on Wolfgang Gartner led Kindergarten Recordings, “Vice”. The former DEFEP member and remix specialist releases a rare single in “Vice” that combines both big room elements and grungy electro house with driving synth chords and well placed electro growls with subtle piano driven builds. DallasK has long been viewed as one the more promising young US talents and “Vice” shows that his potential and hype are more than warranted.
